Hi,
I just installed version 2024.07 and am having issues, as we say, with it. I'm wondering if the issues are caused by the update or if the recent Windows updates have blown things up again.
1) To import an audio file, I used to be able to drag the file onto a track. I can't make that work now. When I drag a file over the tracks pane, I get an icon that shows that I can't drop the file there. Since I use lots of imported files to produce a program, that's a real inconvenience for me. I don't know it this is Cakewalk or Windows update related.
2) ASIO no longer works. If I open its panel, there is a red letter x next to the playback part. And I can't set the playback timing or input to ASIO.
3) Until this update, when I created a new project, I was presented with a different (and much better) dialog box to set up the project. I can live with this, but it's further evidence that some things have changed.
I rely on the program for the production of a Los Angeles radio broadcast, so I'm hoping that you have some insights as to what's up. If it is caused by your update, do you have a way for me to go back to the previous version? If it is related to a Windows update, I might be able to uninstall the latest release.
Either way, I would really appreciate you're commenting on this so that I have an idea of what I need to do in order to get these issues fixed. You've done great work on the program and I know that updates can cause problems. As a friend of mine used to say, "That which is different is not the same."
Thanks
John
