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.
And if you need to change levels before plug-ins, there are other plug-ins which can change level (eg. Cakewalk's own Channel Tools, which I believe is now part of the CbB install; or Blue Cat's Gain Suite).
A bit hacky but...
- Set up CbB to use the RME
- Close CbB, and copy your aud.ini file to aud_rme.ini
- Re-open CbB and set it up to use the Apollo
- Close CbB and copy aud.ini file to aud_apollo.ini
- Create 2 batch/cmd files that copy the relevant aud_***.ini over aud.ini and then launch CbB
- Save batch files on desktop and double click to run (obviously with CbB closed!)
I wouldn't go that far, but it does saturate the network bandwidth (my remote desktop session is very slow when it's downloading). But I could run other applications, including BFD3 standalone, during this time.
Posted on the kvr forum by Drew (from BFD Drums) - this seems to solve it:
Open Registry Editor
Navigate to: Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\BFD Drums\BFD3
Check for these entries: FirstRun, fxp2inm_migration, and NeedScan
If you don’t have them all, create them. They should all be string types.
Set FirstRun to ‘No’ without quotes.
Set fxp2inm_migration to ‘migrated’ without quotes.
Set ‘NeedScan’ to ‘no’ without quotes.
This will stop BFD from nagging you about copying across old files.
I wish ?
My latest: install my free library (Crush), fire up bfd3 standalone and it gets picked up and runs fine. Add bfd 1 folder to scan...finds the expansion packs OK (eventually!) but Crush data has been lost.
I've just downloaded and installed my freebie pack - does anyone else find rescanning takes an age and "hangs" the application? It's been churning away for an hour now (6/12 core 3.7GHz machine, SSD and NVMe drives, 32GB RAM, so no slouch even if not absolutely cutting edge).
Ditto (ish): I get some/all of the BFD 1/2 packs, but none of the core BFD 1/2 content. Somewhat irritating, so if anyone has a suggestion...
The BFD 1/2 serial numbers don't authorise in the new license manager, so I'm stumped.
It's also a SynthEdit synth, and these can be problematic (especially ones using older SE toolkits) - from memory, they especially didn't like having "Use Multiprocessing Engine" enabled. So I'd first suggest turning that off:
If that solves it, then you're probably out of luck as you don't want to turn this off in general, and looking for a replacement is probably your best bet.
