Thanks for sending the project file. Are you referring to the small spikes at the point where you do the crossfades? The stretches are performed per clip when bouncing but the crossfades are rendered post stretch (after the stretch is applied) so it might be that the sample accuracy of the crossfade positions is not accurate. Jut a guess though. I havent investigated it. In your project I found that the clicks go away in the bounce if you have wider crossfades. Will investigate further, but this wont be in the 09 release since we are almost done here.

Hi huviolan, this wouldn't be related at all to this months release. There have been zero changes to video for a very long time. Media foundation doesn't support hardware full screen mode as far as I know. It has never worked.

Thanks for checking.

Yes this was fixed.

That actually happened to me. I left an older amp on some years ago in my basement. At 3am I was awakened by loud hum and had to go shut it off. No idea how it went into oscillation by itself randomly but it was pretty scary waking up to that Regarding the OP, Cakewalk itself it doesn't consume much when idle unless you have synths in the project. Then its always streaming audio and consuming some CPU. If you turn off the audio engine then its pretty idle. Its generally better to save and reopen once in awhile however to avoid memory leaks or other bugs from plugins building up.

Are you sure about this? Perhaps you changed your latency settings to make it lower - if so bounces would be slower. If anything startup is slightly faster in this release if you have lots of 32 bit plugins. How many plugins do you have installed?

Yes the final release will automatically update the early access build if you downloaded it so no worries there.

I understand that its difficult when you have sessions. However the main reason for early access is to find outliers like this problem which affect only a very small subset of people and testers don't find. If you didn't report its unlikely that it would be fixed before release anyway.

The System Realtime messages are used by CbB specifically for MTC sync. Incoming messages are used in order to respond to MIDI time code. We also send these messages when generating MTC. However Cakewalk never forwards (thru's) incoming system realtime messages. There has never been a need to do so because these are typically intended for use in an MTC scenario.

Hello @TedPiano would you be able to share a link to your project file? That would be the easiest way to troubleshoot it. Also give us some data on what audio interface you are using and the latency settings.

Localized versions are not provided for early access build, sorry. We're still working on it.

What problems? I've yet to see any reported issues with this release. Of course if you prefer to wait for the final release that's fine.

@TenfootDoes the new playlist option to not load the next project in the background solve your glitching problem?

The issue with drum replacer not showing waveforms until you click the clip has been fixed in the early access release. It actually broke during the ARA 2 update in May. The loss of time sync when seeking was a different issue which is also addressed in the 09 release,

I don't see this problem. As long as Select track envelopes with clips is selected it will move the data irrespective of whether lanes are open or not. Can you reproduce this in a new project? If not please send a link to the CWP file so we can try and reproduce it. The only change we made in 07 was this:

What version of Cakewalk are you running, what OS and audio device? Check the about box to be sure. If you are getting a hang you can capture a dump file from task manager and send us a link to analyze. You can also try our latest early access release and see if it resolves the issue.

Right, those aren't CPU meters

Another big update. Please post any feedback directly in the linked thread.

As David mentioned you are most probably misreading the meter. Post a screenshot with the start screen open. The CPU meter is not used when the audio engine isn't running. If no project is loaded there is no way for CbB to be showing a meter value assuming you are showing audio performance.

Is your CPU meter set to measure audio performance or system performance?

@Tez the only way those keys could get set is if your controller spuriously sent those notes. I suspect you have a flaky USB port or the controller itself is sending bad data under some conditions. The PRV UI is responding to MIDI input exclusively so the bad data couldn't come from CbB. I was able to replicate the problem artificially by holding down some keys on a MIDI controller and yanking the USB cable while the notes were held down. I've fixed it now so that pressing the Reset button (panic) will also reset the PRV notes so in the future if this happens you have a simple way to clear it.

Besides it being free, more than 700 bug fixes and a ton of new features not a lot Read this for more information.

How many plugins do you have installed? Some users had slowdowns loading the plugin inventory from the registry. It it happens when simply starting the program without a project this is definitely the issue. I've improved start time for loading plugins very significantly for the next release. This is obviously in Cakewalk by BandLab. SONAR is no longer a supported product.

Thanks I'll take a look. I think at minimum it should be preloading the next project ahead of time irrespective of the wait for keypress option.

If you send a link to a crash dump I can verify that the crash is actually in rapture. However we are not shipping rapture presently so I can't give you a timeline for plugin related fixes.
