I am brand new to Cakewalk by Bandlab and I will only be using the program as a multitrack field recorder on a Windows 11 Dell laptop. (I use Logic 11 on a Mac for all of my audio editing tasks, but I don't have a Mac laptop.) My audio interface is a Focusrite 18i8 and I could be using all of the available inputs on occasion. My current project requires all 4 of the interface's mic inputs and one of the line inputs. So far, I have not been able to force Cakewalk to allow me to assign my inputs to individual mono channels, only a collection of stereo inputs, using either the left, right, or both input channels per track. That is close to useless and if I can't figure out how to force Cakewalk to accept mono track assignments I'll be giving up on Cakewalk, since I don't have infinite time to mess with this DAW before I have to work on the project.
