A request. Kindly keep this thread in context to issues that are specific to this release. Please do not log general bugs or feature requests here because it will get difficult for us to follow. thanks! -
Perpetual license for last Win7 compatible CbB? (Noel?)
Noel Borthwick replied to twelvetone's topic in Cakewalk by BandLab
Ive never understood how people can tolerate running such old builds of Cakewalk. 8.5 and SONAR literally have thousands of issues that have been since been addressed. The only reason I see some people running Win7 is for aging hardware that is no longer supported with drivers. We’ve said before that we don’t have resources to support Win7 anymore and only allow it to install as a courtesy. If it stops working due to new features we’ll have to block it installing at that time. The older builds will potentially work but would still need authentication as before. -
[CLOSED] Cakewalk 2021.01 Early Access
Noel Borthwick replied to Morten Saether's topic in Early Access Program
Thanks. This installer is a one time thing and subsequent updates wont need to do this. We’ll look into the truncated text, We’ve already changed it so the webview install is no longer silent. -

No activation is just an operation that requires login. So does connecting to bandlab to upload projects. We’ll also be adding more features in the future that are connected with your account. Activation was the first that uses SSO. -

Can you please share the specific project file with us? -
Yes. Also turn off any surround stuff as noted.

[CLOSED] Cakewalk 2021.01 Early Access
Noel Borthwick replied to Morten Saether's topic in Early Access Program
Logging into the forum has nothing to do with Cbb. You have to log in from CbB itself for in-app activation to work. If you have never logged in it wll prompt you the first time. An easy way to force it is to choose “Help / Refresh Activation”. This will ask for a login the first time and then activate again. Subsequent attempts wont ask for login again. -

What was the error? Please send a link to the project file so we can investigate. -
Its not just for onboard audio. It shows up with my USB headset too. So its apparently something based on how the driver is written. If SSL is relying on USB class audio support this could explain it since thats using the Microsoft driver.
-
So indeed it looks like your USB interface got flagged as “enhancible” That would certainly account for the poor quality audio since its not designed for music production. I would report it to Microsoft through feedback as well as SSL

Noel Borthwick replied to Morten Saether's topic in Early Access Program
Assuming that you have logged in at least once and the credentials have not changed activation should be automatic. IOW as long as your PC is online at some point when it needs to CbB will automatically refresh itself. This was the main rationale for in-app activation. -
The sound enhancements tab is shown for some devices. It should not be enabled for pro audio devices. Were you seeing this applied to your audio interface output? Also Spacial sound should be disabled if its on. Below are screenshots for the focusrite device and for my headset. You can see that Enhancements is not shown for the focusrite.

What causes Cakewalk to double-count each new VST3 plugin?
Noel Borthwick replied to chris.r's topic in Cakewalk by BandLab
Changing the extension wont do anything. We look for the signature of the VST which is very different for VST3. -
[CLOSED] Cakewalk 2021.01 Early Access
Noel Borthwick replied to Morten Saether's topic in Early Access Program
Please note that the installer now tries to install a Microsoft Webview component that is used by CbB. This installer will download what it needs from Microsoft so if it appears to be stuck its likely due to a slow internet connection or internet connectivity issues. 32 bit is just the Cbb installer thats normal. Here is a manual link to download the Webview components if its not downloading. Download and install the 64 bit fixed version and after that our install should go through. -

There should not be a need to uninstall and reinstall. If its crashing please send us the minidump so we can diagnose the cause. -

Noel Borthwick replied to chris.r's topic in Cakewalk by BandLab
VST3 plugins can be shells. A single dll can store one or more plugins so it really depends on which plugin you installed. -
As I said it's an obscure issue Yes acid is not related to red directly but inside our code we leverage the same acid structures while handling rex files. Hence the confusion because apparently that app is writing data that confused our code. Irrespective the issue has been solved.
-
Yes there is a new elicenser build from Steinberg that resolves this issue but as far as I know it has not been released yet. I can try and get you a link to the build if you pm me.

bounce to clips
Noel Borthwick replied to brianlangtry@hotmail.co.uk's topic in Instruments & Effects
Its not clear if you are referring to a crash or a drop out since you say that it completes the bounce and then you get a drop out. A drop out is not a crash... -
@forkol you ran into an obscure very old bug with acidized file import. Apparently your file is authored by a plugin called Edison from FL Studio (I found this in the files metadata). This plugin is writing information into the ACID chunk of the file which confuses our import code into thinking that it was a REX loop. Hence on playback it was using rex stretching and generating the clicks. I've fixed it for our next CbB release.

Wavs are greyed out on my laptop - Solved
Noel Borthwick replied to Michael Fogarty's topic in Cakewalk by BandLab
No snow this week here fortunately. Thanks for the update. Technology can be very frustrating when you are trying to get something done and things don't work. Don't feel bad because I have it it happen to me when I'm doing sessions too. I take a note and move on and try and figure it out later but it can be very disruptive. We try whenever we can to make the program as fault tolerant as possible but as you know there is only so much we can do. Perhaps we can try and detect this issue and at least warn the user that waveform generation is failing. -

Noel Borthwick replied to Michael Fogarty's topic in Cakewalk by BandLab
Wow this is literally the first time I have heard of this happening to anyone. Do you have an AV program? Maybe something went awry and it decided to block that folder. Cakewalk definitely doesn't change folder permissions. Do you by any chance have OneDrive syncing that folder as well? -
Presonus Faderport 8 in use in Cakewalk by Bandlab
Noel Borthwick replied to Blades's topic in Cakewalk by BandLab
There is no "standard" that the range should be 0 to +10 dB. Cakewalk has always had 0 to +6dB from day one. Its not easy to change the max range to +10 dB because the faders have art that is calibrated on the 0 to 6dB scale. It would be better for surfaces to allow calibrating their fader strips more flexibly rather than forcing the DAW to change based on one particular surface.
