Started today. In prv view, I select my track, then use the select tool to choose notes I’m going to move. Next I select move tool using T shortcut. I move the selected passage, close prv window and find that all my tracks, beside the one selected have also had their contents moved. I undid the action, double checked which track was selected and went through the same move process I described. Again, all tracks contents from my selection in the target track moved. Restarting Cakewalk solved the problem (for now). Was I using the wrong tool (Select) to select notes to move? Is there another way I should be doing this?
Make sure only the tracks and notes you want to move are selected. It is easy to select everything by accident in cakewalk. Make it a habit to deselect the groups you have highlighted to move, by clicking on an open space on the edited window. Always ride that mental note of every move you make when doing something, with the old habit of Ctrl + S "save copy"muscle memory.

I do this once - and make a track template of everything including busses and stuff.
So even to just load right instrument, and then load certain presets within as loaded - or make fully ready to use ones.
- Insert from track template
and done.
Yes, a lot of fiddling first time, naming everything, removing unwanted - but could be only time....
Hey @LarsF. Yeah, I do have templates that I've created with it's first release. There's no specific amount of inserts that I use in my projects. Depending on my creativity, I always find myself to add a few extra instruments almost every track I cook up. Especially with a huge wall of orchestra instrument inserts.

@_Will_ - unfortunately this didn't quite make the 2020.01 hotfix, but it'll definitely be in the next release.
Awesome news. Thanks.

I still think the new Instrument "Track Per Output option" in the Add Track menu dialog box should have the option to choose individually how many outputs you want in mono or stereo of the chosen instrument. Creating the maximum outputs automatically per instrument is annoying, even with drum instruments as you don't need all the outputs at times when using your favorite sample kick drum, toms or snare drum. I've become to enjoy this feature being at hand without the drag and drop insert from the browser option when creating a Mono or Stereo instrument track. Some instruments creates up to"16 outputs," in my collection, where I might only use 3 or 4 of those outputs. This makes the process of deleting all those unnecessary output per instrument track SUPER ANNOYING! and creates extra time which was not there before. So now I'm back using the old method. ?

Oh, c'mon...
- Ability to run a lower ASIO buffer in a given project without crackles/dropouts?
- More even load-balancing across cores?
- Faster/smoother GUI response?
- Faster edit/bounce/freeze/export processing?
- Projects open/save/close more quickly?
- ...?
? Dude - you're stressed out, relax. I'm messing with you. ?
I still prefer Red stone though. Even if win7 is lighter on every thing such as cpu; ram, background apps (that overloads cpu and ram,) and unnecessary update checks, even if is turned off. All this while running an i7 system with 16gig ram.

Who is running the latest version of Win10 called "Red stone" with latest updates of 2020? I'm not talking about ancient OS like win10 home or professional.

My CbB runs much smoother in stock Windows 10 than in my old Windows 7.
Windows 10's background processes do not disturb CbB's audio streaming.Well, we've past the stock version years ago "Win10 Red stone 6"

Define "better".
What's there to define? ?

Maybe because Win 10 is always running all kinds of things constantly to make sure it meets Win 10 specs and they have given up trying to micromanage everyone's Win 7? Just a guess.
When I heard the news of Win7 being discontinued and that won't have updates anymore, I changed to Win 10. So, I'm only running CbB for 2 years on 10 now. There's definitely a difference.

Why is Cakewalk running better on Win 7 64bit, than on Win10? A friend has been running Cakewalk for two weeks back on Win7 ultimate 64bit, just cause of something me and him disagreed on. I was right! Cakewalk runs better on Win7.
Why though??

I have a system with i7 and 32GB RAM and 1TB SSD drive. It is very new and performs very well without any other issues.
This is not an issue due to an under-powered system. This is an issue because of Cakewalk's implementation of how to handle device disconnections.
At the very least, if ASIO driver can be automatically restarted whenever device disconnection happens - that will be great. Thanks. I am hoping that some developer will chime in.
Osho
Well, something that is old in your system or attached causes that problem. Trust I've dealt with this on so many occasions and level. One thing that I will though is, I don't know about anyone else, but I find cakewalk to run best on Win 7 64bit. Anyway like I mentioned check your startup programs too. Normally Avast antivirus causes these issues too. Although i'm running Porcelain 10 the latest update. Another well known fellow friend and producer runs the Windows 10 Red stone and said that cakewalk is running smoother there.

Why not just buy Rapture session? It's a powerful synth once you've learned to master it's oscillators. There's thousands of presets to choose from, and that you can buy.
Z3ta is another powerful synth.

It's sad that we all can't afford better systems. I remember having this problem with my old system which was an i3 system. So, I saved up some bucks for an i7 system 16gig ram and a 2T SSD hard drive. All problems gone! I know not all are running on newer systems or can afford it. Upgrading your old SATA hard drive to a SSD hard drive and adding at least 8gig of ram will speed up your systems reading. Also clean up your startup programs.

Hold down on Ctrl while bringing plugins to front. It's quicker.

Hi,
I'm an old hand with Cake almost from the beginning but stopped upgrading somewhere around Sonar 7. On a new Win 10 PC I installed the BandLab version and try to figure out what went where.
I work a lot with external samples and loop files which was pretty easy using the old loop explorer - one click on the folder icon and my sample library opened. When I closed a project it remembered which specific folder in the library was open last. On opening again the project looked exactly like before: especially the loop library has the same folder open as last so I see exactly from which folder I picked the last samples or loops.
Now when loading a work in progress the media file browser window briefly pops up how I left it - but closes again. So I'm lost and have to navigate down through media browser and file structures to where I ended last - very inconvenient and clumsy.
Is this a program error that will be fixed or am I doing something wrong?
Just to be exact: I work with 2 monitors and always put the media browser on my second screen. When opening an existing project the media browser is docked on the first screen and shows just the default.
For easy access to the Loop explorer which is now called Browser, just hit "B" on your keyboard and a window pane on the right side of the screen will pop open. Choose the browser folder TOP LEFT of the pane window and locate your dedicated external sample/loop folder.

Yep, CdB❎ is a typo . CbB✔️ = Cakewalk by Bandlab. ?

Just press "L" on the keyboard to get rid of the loop section (if its enabled.)

What gustabo said. Also, wear headphones when you're using the mic. The echo function was design to hear yourself on headphones as a reference, not through speakers. Lower your mic volume too, on both your OS, and mic if it comes with a build in volume and headphone jack and volume control.?

You sound about right on one thing, though. You do sound like a Reason user. Cause that's pretty much the tone that I'd started to be allergic to, on Reason forums.
I'm not a reason user. It was taught to me in music school. I never even used it in my own projects so don't I'm one, be allergic to that! You see assumptions in thinking you know something, well it keeps your head buried in the sand. Get a manual of Cakewalk study it and come back to comment. If you can't follow instructions well, good luck in learning anything to it's core. All you do is insulting who's been trying to help you, newbie.

You've got to be joking. "Everything", you say. Even those that don't exist yet, like drag & drop options, copying settings among FX, or opening instruments in the Console, "are working better" now.
You sound about right on one thing, though. You do sound like a Reason user. Cause that's pretty much the tone that I'd started to be allergic to, on Reason forums. And they do react to talking about the program as if it was "like insulting someone's mother". It's like their entire identity is hinged around their gear, and their DAW being declared flawless is more important to them than working easily in it, even if afterwards they admit doing the mixing in other DAWs, because of its limitations, etc. That's a sign of emotional issues, more than objective assessment, as far as I can gather. I see you've carried this style of speaking here, too. And I'm glad to see you stopped here not to make any useful suggestions, but just enough to "assert yourself". Get a life.
Dude, learn to work the DAW before talking nonsense! Don't become a cigarette butt.

I think it would be really useful to be able to have a way to automatically turn down every track in the project by a certain number of db or maybe a percent. Sometimes, when you're mixing, we fall into that trap of turning everything up piece by piece until we're out of headroom. I would include, as an option, the ability to turn down all volume envelopes as part of this process. It's this ability to turn down all volume envelopes that would make it functionally different than just selecting all tracks, holding down CTRL and moving a fader. I'd also include, as an option, whether this process would involve zeroing out the offset volume as part of the decrease in volume.
I'm also guessing there would be a way to do this with a CAL script (that's what they're called, right?)
But, by selecting all tracks by pressing Ctrl+A and than hold down on Ctrl as you tweak your faders, this is already possible. ?
What new updates would you like to see in 2020 to Cakewalk - CLOSED.

It became second nature in my workflow - especially when I take a break to return later. I always make a few notes on idea's before rebooting my ears or head in the creativity world for a couple of minutes or full day for that matter. Extremely helpful.
