You dont have any output devices selected as it say's there. Choose your device and all should be good. Read here Read here 2 That's why.

Thanks @Teegarden Yes, I try to bring my part. Like I've said: It's because I'm one of those handful that started their careers with Cakewalk. Handful meaning: Cakewalk being the 1st DAW I have touched. but, I'm one guy out of 18 guys I know and work with / AND / they all have their own guys they work and collaborate with on their own production. So if you put this under that "Pyramid umbrella chain thing" I can easily be part of a 1000+ producers underneath this chain. So it's difficult to get everyone to report here. Those I am close to, them I can't force if they don't want to. Try telling someone whom has been longer than you in the business and only starting out with cakewalk since it became free, to support the brand by reporting the bugs. You'll hear the answers you get. Now here the the thing: You that's forcing to look into Cakewalk to just try it out - that's promoting the product. Now come up here to report or give feedback and get answers like this - it gona start raising some questions like - why should I care about cakewalk anymore when I'm just here to help, but het answers like this in return? In return you also just dont care anymore. Coming on the forum with the mindset: If I report this they gona blame my system or windows or my workflow. That's exhausting.

Dont shoot yourself in the foot by assuming things matey. Read to understand. Answers given outside of comprehension are the reason why argument start here.

And this is the problem. The best response here would've been. We'll consider it - right there. No one was speculating anything. There's truth in what I've said - Cakewalk is the only DAW the crashes left and right for no reason. And for you that is in management to assume that speculating say's a lot to why we can't grow here. I was merely just suggesting things. "Trying to help," to look this from a different point of view, but it seems that it strucked a nerve which wasn't intended nor directed towards that. What you need to know is - we/us, thats here on the ground using this DAW collaborating with other 10+ producers using Cakewalk, we see these issues everyday, where you guys dont - and through responses like that, which you given, that right there is why we don't bother to report. It's sad really. I hear you though.

Yep! True! However I've witness that certain mono plugins of fabfilter do crash in Cakewalk. At a studio I was at in London had this problem only in Cakewalk, and not in the other 4 they make use of. This is highly due to users that don't bother to report on it / OR / turn to a different DAW, because of their frustration and mainly because of the Word "FREE" attached to it - Especially one that was a paid product and brand before. No brand under this umbrella will have a good name. With us that started their careers with Cakewalk. The handful of users it has - we can tolerate that. I say "We" cause Cakewalk was the first daw I had ever touched before moving to industry demands within the studio I had worked for at the time. We get, undestand and totally am greatful for the now small team running cakewalk, but maybe it's time to rebuild the DAW from scratch. Bring in people from presonus, cubase and reaper to look at it structure and engines to get it running on modern 64bit coding. This is asking - what could be impossible in resources at the moment, I know. Ask the question: Why don't DAWs have these many complaints, rants on the same issues after every update. Good example would be "Dropouts" and "Crashes" on the same Windows version builds and systems.

I knew that will come back to bite me. ? It had a bigger chorus once, ? but it felt as if it was too much for this one - so I cleaned it up a bit. Thanks for the positive response mate. ?

Almost there, but not quite. The "Wide Window" (A.K.A flatbed or multi-column) only exist within the catergory folder you're visting. Like within cakewalk: You get the single category list, showcasing all your FX folders (in the FX Bin view) with the arrow next to it. Once you hover or click on it - it opens another single (narrow) page, where you have to click 20 times to get to your "favorite/favourite" (depend on where in the world you are) plugin. This is where the wide window will live. This is as clear as I can get with this. Been explaining the same thing over and over. And like I've said many times before on this topic: You will have the option to switch to this feature, like with the other 3 available features. Adding this to that wont break the daw as what people seems to think.

Again . . . Look at this picture.

You guys dont seem to get it. What you are showing is a "one list" page. [Zoom in to check.] Every EQ/Dynamic or what ever you want to use, will be in its own category. It will just be much easier to find, instead of clicking 2mins to locate your favorite one right at the bottom. This will be a new feature to the DAW. Your example was that of a VST and not that of the DAW itself. So it will be new to Cakewalk. Like in every other DAW - the user can switch this On or Off. Stop holding Cakewalk back in 1999. We're in the 21st Century.

Under the "Help" Tab click Activate. When doen go to about and verify thatbit is.

Really dont care about warnings at this point. I will call someone out when they in the wrong!

Appreciate your positive words Lynn.

My latest release is about struggles! So yeah! I'm hell offended right now!!!!

I was there! And that is why I feel shit offended of that comment you've made. I've worked with what I had and in the living arrangements - until I got out of that lifestyle. The world dont need people like you in it.

And this makes you a straight up *****! Not everyone can affort big monitors - not that I dont have / but / here's guys out here working solely on Laptops. The world of workflow does not revolve around your selfish attitude. If you have the means of what it takes to afford these type of equipment great! Out here on the streets - the struggle is real! We work with what we have - so asking on behalf of those producers and where I will benefit - I WILL DO!

Oki - doki. And with this you will have all your ompressors on one window.

?

If you say so. Go and read the original post again. Who uses 700 COMPRESSORS? the flatbed is on the subgroup Dynamic, EQ Reverb etc. Not all effects on one page. READ!

No it' not cause you jave to move away from the place you're at to go and locate a plugin.

Stating Facts is: When you just right and click on what you want. Not extra steps included.

What we need to keep in mind is: Your likes differ from everyone elses. I don't like the browser open neither the inspector - period! You might have a bigger monitor than mine / OR / more than one, so my real-estate might not be as spaciousas yours. I definitely hate dragging thing in to a strip on the console. This less windows I have open - the more access I have to ram and cpu. I'm one that prefer on hand access to stuff as this speeds up production - like the much appreciated "T" SHORTCUT ("In place access") anywhere in my workflow to my TOOLS menu - Hence: why a flatbed effect list would be ideal in my workflow. I can go on forever why a list as such will benefit my workflow, but I think I've said enough. TO CATER FOR EVERYONES NEEDS IS IMPORTANT.

? Uhmm! I do! One that I'd been trusting for years. One that does it's job on the preferences I've set it to. I do what was given in the tips through it for years.

Do you know about the the CTRL+D shortcut? Select a few things in a project and press Ctrl+D quick. It's everyday a lifesaver in my workflow.

You're not helping Mark. ?
