Reminder we are very close to releasing the final 06 update. If there are any blocking issues related to this release please report them ASAP. PS: As per requests the audio ports for friendly names no longer include the numeric prefix and I've also removed the prefix for inserted synth tracks. There are also a handful of additional bug fixes.

@buildanax can you please send the minidump file from the crash ASAP? There is info in the crash dialog that allows you to locate the dump file. It also shows whether the crash is in a plugin or the application.

Just because a couple of other DAW’s do it isn’t an argument for doing it. Tying fader movements (mixing operations), to the undo system is mixing and matching two completely different workflows. One is changing the data and the other is signal flow. They are two complete independent things and IMO should not be coupled. People do little changes to vol/pan interspersed with editing all the time. Having it in the same undo history will be very error prone and undersirable. If there was a mixer undo stack it would be completely discrete from the editing stack. Mix recall is a much more powerful system for managing fader state. And as pointed out we have a single per track level of undo for mixer state already. Also saving and restoring gain has little meaning when you have envelopes inthe project since they override the mixer when automation read is on. It would have to do it in offset mode which few people use anyway. Too many downsides to this which is why we don’t intend to do it.

Just starting a thread here to discuss Windows 11 compatibility. While we don't expect to have any issues with Cakewalk running on Win 11 getting your PC running it is a different story You may have read about the announcements that Win 11 only supports PC's with newer processors (Intel 8 gen and higher) and that it requires TPM 2.0 hardware support. In fact many of my PC's fail the upgrade test because I don't have TPM support and my CPU (though quite capable being an core Intel) is an earlier generation. Here is a new blog post from Microsoft where they appear to be potentially dialing back the requirements. I hope the requirements get relaxed because they seem a bit restrictive to only allow systems with TPM 2. I've seen some reports of soft and hard blocks for installation. Will be interesting to see how this evolves.

Well if you don't get a crash dialog what do you mean by crash? If you get a crash dialog it will list the dump file name. Post a screenshot or video of what you see when you save.

Moving the volume fader wont override automation that already exists in the track since the envelopes control the fader. What you are looking for is offset mode.

Do you have any mono only plugins in your project?

You can already undo faders to their last value. Right click on any fader and choose "Revert to..." To apply to multiple tracks use quick grouping. There are no plans to make this part of undo - it would be very confusing. There is also mix recall that allows you to save and restore mix snapshots that is a much more powerful way to do it. Please post these topics in the feature request section not the early access thread.

Are you using any Steinberg plugins that utilize syncrosoft copy protection? Do you have autosave enabled?

Right but how often does it happen? Once a day, once a week…

If you have a project where this is reproducible contact me and I can try and troubleshoot it with you using a beta build.

This is fixed for the final 06 release. See this thread.

Check out Voicemeeter it gives you an ASIO driver to send from Cakewalk

The main difference between aux tracks and buses is that aux tracks can be recorded in real-time allowing you to capture any signal flow. See the use cases for patch points on this article. http://www.cakewalk.com/Documentation?product=Cakewalk&language=3&help=Mixing.13.html The following are a few ideas for how you can use patch points: Work exclusively in the Track view and have folders of tracks with their Aux tracks adjacent to them. This workflow can be used as an alternative to routing tracks to buses. Record a vocal track with effects to another track. For details, see To record an audio track that contains effects. Record two or more background vocal tracks to a single track. Aux tracks can be used instead of buses for busing or effects sends. For details, see To record multiple tracks to a single track. Record only the effect bus of a vocal track. For details, see To record only the send effects on an audio track. Record the metronome to an audio track. For details, see To record the metronome to an audio track. Control multiple audio track volumes with one fader. For details, see Control multiple audio track volumes with one fader. Capture the performance of guitar effects in real-time. For details, see Capture the performance of guitar effects in real-time. Control surfaces that don’t support buses can instead control Aux tracks. Record time-based effects in real-time. Record plug-in parameter changes that are not automatable. Record a bus to an audio track. Record complex reverbs and delays in real-time.

@Amfysy. Are you available to do some troubleshooting early this week to try and isolate the issue? PM me your contact info and we'll arrange a session.

If you are using the old command center login credentials that is completely different from BandLab login. You need to use the credentials you used to first log in to BandLab assistant when you downloaded Cakewalk.

I will probably try and allow optionally skipping the prefix only for the friendly names case.

If you have a semi reproducible case send me a PM and we can try and troubleshoot it further. The error happens after the fact so from the message I cannot diagnose it. You can manually capture a dump file while the message is onscreen but even that might not reveal the problem is it is state related. The best would be for us to give you an instrument beta builds and capture a log file.

Reminder, please keep this thread focused on issues specific to early access. General questions or feature requests should not be posted here. Unrelated posts will be deleted by moderators.

I sent you a PM with the link. Please test it and report back.

@JL I have a fix for this. Will send you a build to validate the fix. It was a tricky issue relating to the handling of mono only plugins when bouncing to clip or making region effects. It would leave the effects in a bad state and that would result in the dropout. This particular dropout is a safety fuse to prevent excessive memory allocation, that was getting triggered as a result of this issue. Thanks for the recipe since without the specific steps it would be very hard to track down just knowing the symptoms.

@JL can you please send us a simple project file on which you can repro this issue? Strip it down to just the track that has the issue. Sometimes there is something specific that you may not have noticed. @Ianshawn Smith you can upload a simplified version of your project to any file sharing service and send a link via PM to me or to email support. EDIT: Never mind I can repro the issue with JL's recipe. Many thanks. I'll investigate this and fix it. Its not related to Melodyne. I think there is a bug somewhere with handling mixed interleaves when creating a region effect that is causing buffers to be excessively allocated.

For the record the error is caused by a missing components in Windows 7. After I sent an updated build this is the actual error reported. For the record again, anyone running Win 7 is running it at their own risk since its an unsupported OS by both Microsoft and Cakewalk. We do not block installation today but cannot guarantee that all parts of the application will work.

2021.04 is so.... old. We're already almost on 06 lol I think you meant 06 haha
