Reminds me of French school children's bags from the 80's ?

Try this Try this (not sure if it works): C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Cakewalk\Project5v2_5 Edit project5.ini (notepad) Search for DisableDSound Set it =1 if it exists, else add it ie. DisableDSound=1

Please no: folders are for visual/organisational purposes. For example, I have a Vocal folder in a lot of my projects: some tracks in it will route to the lead vocal bus, some to the backing vocal bus. Having to have 2 folders (or, maybe even one track outside a folder if there's only one lead/backing vocal) would be irritating to put it mildly.

Yeah, sorry it's off topic but I knew you'd see it (and one more forum to log into otherwise...)! Definitely not appearing anywhere, and it works fine in SPlat as I said, so I assume the runtime libraries are correct. And I also assume no-one else reports this... MIDI is set fine too (as far as I can see, the same in SPlat anyway). There's no actfix in the installation folder by the way.

It seems a not unreasonable request (yes, there are workarounds, but having it do this automatically won't hurt anyone if it's an option, and it does make things more reliable in some cases), so this is neat you got it done so quickly. As an aside, any idea why I can get azctrl to work fine in 32 and 64 bit versions of SONAR Platinum, but it simply won't open its window in any version of Cakewalk by Bandlab that I've tried? It installs, gets added to CbB's control surfaces menu fine, appears in the Utilities window...and then does nothing when I select it.

Almost certainly a specific plug-in (I have 2 that do this with 100% consistency!). Open in safe mode, and work through them one-by-one (or, more efficiently, do a binary tree search to identify the culprit).

Running as admin, it will do that (ie. expected) so I wondered if that was happening/had changed. I just checked and (I know, it doesn't help you) it works here with the later .155 build, so it's not fundamentally broken anyway. Sorry - no other ideas though (well, reboot?).

Are you running CbB as administrator by any chance?

Hold down shift when dragging.

I've been suffering from excessive slowness in Melodyne startup since I upgraded to v4 (from v3) several years ago: the first instantiation per run of Cakewalk/SONAR before it, or even a VST scan, would take almost exactly 15 seconds (on old quad core Q6600 as well as more recent Ruzen 2600). Subsequent opens in the same Cakewalk/SONAR session were fast. Celemony support were unable to help. Thanks to a post on an unrelated topic in this forum: I can confirm that the lack of iLok/PACE driver/service on the system is what causes the slowdown: I installed the License Manager (no licences associated with it) and Melodyne starts quickly (essentially instantly). So if you have no iLok-protected software on your machine but want to use Melodyne with machine authentication, you will experience slow startup unless you install the iLok/PACE license manager software.

I used to have to do the full uninstall/install, but it seems to have been fixed in the last couple of updates (for me anyway!).

I know some people will say you don't need to partition on an SSD but I still do it for cases like this - it makes OS imaging a breeze (my Macrium OS image comes in at 16GB - if I included the rest of the drive (which also contains all my VSTi data (ie. sample data etc), it'd be close to 1/2TB ?

Yes, you have missed something ? F2 or Enter puts the gain/volume into text edit mode, whereupon you can type the numeric value in.

I'd do your first mainly because backups/images become easier - I'm assuming that samples don't change as much as projects.

I did too but either misremembered or it's gone!

I didn't go for loopMidi as it needs the application running - loopBe is just a driver (I used the free version as I only needed one port).

I've run into this: I added a dummy virtual MIDI port (loopBe in my case) to work round this.

(2) is neat - I hadn't thought of doing that.

Thanks - I was hoping that's all it was (not additional "sample editing" functions - like you'd get in Sound Forge, say).

Same tools as now though?

Yes if the background colour for odd and even tracks is the same - make (theme editor/colour preferences) the colour of the ellipses the same as the background. If you've gone for different colours, you just have to pick one that is as good as possible.

My guess is it's down to 32/64 bitness (and doesn't support 64 bit dll's). Try - in your case - C:\Windows\SysWow64\user32.dll

Search thr documentation for Track Template.

There's a cakewalk.ini setting that kind of supports this - it adds a cancel button to the plug-in UI, so if you open it and make changes, you can revert to the pre-opened version. It's not on by default because it can mean huge state saves when you open a plug-in which could cause audio glitches. EnablePluginCancelButton=1 It still seems to work in CbB.
