Could be due to a lens or a mixrecall?

What is showing as 32 bit? I went to the Serum page and it says 64 bit only.

That is if it is turned on. If it is off it does nothing.

I agree with post above the one I posted. I think it can be solved by the OP starting over.

He could close the inspector.

Windows does not block Cakewalk. Never did. On my machine running Cakewalk the Prochannel is off until I turn it on for a particular track. If a template is opening up the Prochannel and turning it on that was set that way when the template was created. At least that is my understanding.

And what are those exactly?

Windows 10 ransomware settings? What are you referring to?

I agree.

MP3s are only 16 bit. There is no reason to place them into a 24 or 32 bit wav file. If you expect to process them as wav files 24 or 32 bit is fine, though.

Right it does stay as a wav file in Cakewalk. You would have to export it as an MP3 to change it back. There may be an editor that directly edits MP3s but offhand I can't think of any. Nor would I be interested in one.

I used to rely on hardware MIDI modules. I don't any more. With the power in new processors and the huge number of good software instruments its very hard to justify hardware any more. However there is still a place for it in live performance. I still use my Sound Canvas for a few things. Its nice to have units but now I don't think its essential.

Cakewalk only works with wav files and MIDI. Cakewalk will automatically convert an MP3 to wav for it to use it. Be sure you have not locked the track or tracks. I can't think of a reason you can't split a clip except for a track being locked.

Welcome Mike. You wont fine a better place to get to know Cakewalk and those that use it. 20 years is a long time and it will take a little time to learn all the changes. But we just got an updated user manual. I think you will find it very useful. Have fun and ask any question. This forum thrives on answering.

You may want to see about getting Cakewalk by Bandlab. It wont cost you anything and it is a huge improvement.

I have not had a bad experience with Sweetwater. If anything they are a little too nice. ? I bought some gear from them and about a week later they called and wanted to know if I was happy with my purchase. LOL I was. But that had never happened before with any other Internet store. Cool. It makes an impression.

The FX Bin can be pre fader or post fader. See if one of these helps. Also if it the PC (ProChannel) it can be pre FX Bin or post FX Bin.

One other place you need to set the audio bit depth. Files, Audio Data, Record bit depth and Render bit depth. I have found it useful to have Cakewalk use my good audio interface which is an Edirol M-16DX and have Windows use the on board sound chip for all other sounds. I also use ASIO for Cakewalk. In my case the Edirol is plug and play. I don't have to try to get drivers for it. All my DAWs and Video editing programs use the Edirol. Everything else uses the Realtek audio device.

Very nice plugin.

I really like these themes. I find them stunning. I have adopted your second version. It will be the theme I use from now on.

I see them now. On mine they are relegated to the top and not too intrusive.

I have not seen any ads on this forum.

What is your graphics card? Are you running the latest drivers for it? Do you dual monitors?

I have had old projects that use the old built in EQ which was the Sonitus. When they move to ProChannel and the PC Eq the settings were not transfered. Very annoying. Not exactly the same thing but I fully understand your issue.

Fine. One will do what one wants to do. So you knew that there might be problems and you still asked. What good would a positive answer be to you? You would still have to try it for yourself. Or you could hold off until you were more free to test. It is and always has been up to you to decide. At any rate what does that have to with this thread?
