If you have a track that cant be unfrozen send us a zip of the project file with the audio so we can investigate.

It hasn't been updated in awhile but its @cakewalkinc

That wouldn't really help since today the parallel processing occurs at the track level, so knowing about contiguous clips wouldn't make it easier. One approach could be splitting each clip into a new track behind the scenes and then bouncing the whole split project splitting the track outputs to new files.

Unlike normal export or bounce to track, Bounce to clips can't easily be done in parallel - at least not easily. The bounce code essentially relies on the audio engine which is optimized to render independent tracks for contiguous sections in parallel. With bounce to clips you are rendering chunks of data at different points on the timeline. So its not as a simple process to do this in parallel since we'd need to have multiple instances of the engine render the discontiguous sections of audio in parallel. Additionally the radius rendering isn't currently optimized for multi processing and could have bugs handling this. In short this would be nice to have but it would take a lot of work to achieve.

@scook I don't think it ever worked. That bug has been there since 2005. I rarely want to change the audio folder so didnt notice it before.

This has nothing to do with Copy all audio or any esoteric design intent. It was a simple bug in the code that was wiping out the user settings when you OK'd the dialog. There is logic to change the audio folder paths based on changes to the file name (this is used when saving a new project). That was being unexpectedly executed causing the problem. Its been fixed for the next update.

You can use a drum map to set this up by assigning the entire note range to different instruments.

This is not a bug. Delay compensation is not supported for synths because synths are always rendered just in time. They wouldn't be much point having synths that have delay would there? All the Enable delay compensation flag does is allow turning off delay comp at an effects level. Its a leftover from years ago and not something most users will ever need to set. Turning it off will make things go out of sync. We already have a PDC override feature in CbB for the cases that delay comp needs to be overriden so this manual setting is obsolete.

I'm curious how many users are actively using Mix Recall. At some point we plan on improving the feature.

@Scott Abbey Please upload the project to any file share like Dropbox and pm me the link

Yes their main engineering is here.

@Scott Abbey can you share your project file with us so we can check it? There have been no changes that could have affected latency like that. Did you try reverting to the last release to verify that this is a new issue? LP MB has some delay but nothing close to 1 second so there is something else going on. Another thing to check. What is the ThreadSchedulingModel variable in preferences | Configuration file set to?

These are all over Boston near the harborwalk.

That riff you played last night was pretty killing so don't sell yourself short ? Seriously all of us here have better things to do with our lives than steal somebody's personal information. We wouldn't be doing this if we didn't care about developing top notch software for people to make music. I think that would be a fair thing to say about most companies building music software. While it might be hard to imagine how this software could be free, its a testament that good things can happen once in a while. Life is too short to mistrust everything.

If you want to use Youtube and other apps while using Cakewalk at the same time use WASAPI shared mode.

Unless you sent the wrong file, the dump file you sent references a crash in your Roland Studio Capture driver. Cakewalk itself isn't crashing, nor is it related to east west as far as I can see. Can you open Cakewalk without crashing and create a new project or load other projects? If the same crashes persist you can follow up with Roland. We can't solve crashes in drivers. Send some more of your dump files so we can verify if the crashes are all the same. You can also try switching to WASAPI shared mode to test whether the crash goes away. Here are the details from your crash. ======== BUGCHECK_STR: APPLICATION_FAULT_INVALID_POINTER_WRITE PRIMARY_PROBLEM_CLASS: APPLICATION_FAULT LAST_CONTROL_TRANSFER: from 00000000081127df to 000000000811a660 STACK_TEXT: 00000000`0013f138 00000000`081127df : 00000000`39db1040 00000000`0000b7da 00000000`7ffe0008 00000000`7ffe0010 : RDAS1138+0xa660 00000000`0013f140 00000000`39db1040 : 00000000`0000b7da 00000000`7ffe0008 00000000`7ffe0010 00000000`083697a0 : RDAS1138+0x27df 00000000`0013f148 00000000`0000b7da : 00000000`7ffe0008 00000000`7ffe0010 00000000`083697a0 00000000`08115b95 : 0x39db1040 00000000`0013f150 00000000`7ffe0008 : 00000000`7ffe0010 00000000`083697a0 00000000`08115b95 00000000`083659b0 : 0xb7da 00000000`0013f158 00000000`7ffe0010 : 00000000`083697a0 00000000`08115b95 00000000`083659b0 00000000`00000000 : SharedUserData+0x8 00000000`0013f160 00000000`083697a0 : 00000000`08115b95 00000000`083659b0 00000000`00000000 00000000`083659b0 : SharedUserData+0x10 00000000`0013f168 00000000`08115b95 : 00000000`083659b0 00000000`00000000 00000000`083659b0 00000000`00000000 : 0x83697a0 00000000`0013f170 00000000`083659b0 : 00000000`00000000 00000000`083659b0 00000000`00000000 00000000`0013f260 : RDAS1138+0x5b95 00000000`0013f178 00000000`00000000 : 00000000`083659b0 00000000`00000000 00000000`0013f260 00000000`0013f264 : 0x83659b0 MODULE_NAME: RDAS1138 IMAGE_NAME: RDAS1138.DLL DEBUG_FLR_IMAGE_TIMESTAMP: 523a635c STACK_COMMAND: ~0s ; .ecxr ; kb FAILURE_BUCKET_ID: INVALID_POINTER_WRITE_c0000005_RDAS1138.DLL!Unknown BUCKET_ID: APPLICATION_FAULT_INVALID_POINTER_WRITE_RDAS1138+a660

If the last time you used cakewalk was 20 years ago then you should be prepared to have a bit of a learning experience. Have you used any current generation music software? Everyone has installers with optional components although some integrate it directly into the program (which is a good thing) Prior to BandLab acquiring Cakewalk we had an installer called command center which was similar in principle to bandlab assistant though more sophisticated. It also allowed to install optional components (many more than what we do now) Bandlab is the company that owns Cakewalk. To use the software the requirement is to create an account that established you as a user. Bandlab is also a powerful cloud platform for recording and sharing music using mobile devices it the web. It has over 20 million users. There is no requirement to use that if you don't need it but it's free and available to any Cakewalk user. In short by default we install the bare minimum for Cakewalk to run to save bandwidth. There is zero bloatware.

This wouldn't be a Cakewalk problem. All fast bounce does is render audio faster than realtime. If the plugin isn't handling this it would be something the plugin vendor needs to investigate on their end.

If you are able to capture a dump we can normally tell what operation is hanging.

Hmm no idea what your issue was. I even checked with the Waves developers and they said that Ovox is backwards compatible and there should be no issues. If you encounter it again share the project and we can send it to Waves. If its system specific you will have to work with them directly.

That's a completely different issue and is not something we have control over. If the new ovox had a different vst ID from the old one it won't load automatically if older projects referenced the old version. This is not a Cakewalk problem. If you insert it in a project and save and reload it does it work? If so the original problem is fixed.

@KevMany issues with mono interleave were fixed in the 05 release. Can you share your project file that has the issue? Without seeing the signal flow and plugins we can't investigate the cause of what you are seeing.

Its still crashing? I have a confirmation from Waves QA that the 05 release solved the Ovox crash on load issue. Can you share a project please and a dump file?

Your analogy to print has no bearing on software development. Any piece of software this size has bugs. In its broadest definition a bug is an unintended behavior of the app. Many issues in a DAW running plugins are caused by bugs in the plugins or third party components so its not always straightforward to determine root cause. Hence we need dump files and the actual projects. And to answer your question I would say that 90% of the issues we fix are preexisting so yes they did exist in SONAR. CbB is vastly improved and more stable than SONAR ever was and it gets better every month since we are have been committed to aggressively fixing problems. Seeing a long fix list of bugs is a good thing for any software. Would you prefer that we don't list our fixes?
