Frustrated by the inability to make regionFX work for autotune under Cakewalk I may have found a way to work around this bug. Let me show:
Step 1: first I created a new project in cakewalk and an audio track:See first picture.
Step 2: then I created a region FX for Autotune see second picture. nothing works at this point in Autotune.
Step 3: But still: save the file and close Cakewalk
Step 4: When you have a look at the taskmanager, you see Cakewalk is still active even after you have closed it, Close Cakewalk now in the taskmanager (or do a restart).
Step 5: Open Cakewalk once again . Now you see the audio in Autotune and you can work with it as aspected.
