Just tried the most recent release 2.94 as there was some mention of "This fixes a problem observed with the VST3 plug-in on Windows where the plug-in could load with muted output". Still no go. No input displaying in S-Gear and inserting the VST3 in the FX bin blocks the signal path. Also noted redraw issues. Click on Presets and the GUI won't redraw the part that expands to the right, making it impossible to close.

FYI, this is locking up my projects ( "Cakewalk Application is not responding" ) any time I try to insert it into an existing project. I can get it to work on a new project using the "basic template", but it's a hard no go otherwise. I only installed the VST3 version. Works fine in Studio One, Pro Tools and Reaper.

It might be something else. fwiw, I had a related experience with a vst3 from Eventide. Loaded it into a working project and it hung up hard when I tried to change some settings after inserting it into an FX bin. It opens fine in a new CxB project. It opens fine in other DAWs. Tried reinstalling, etc. Same problem, every time.

These are great for rootsy stuff if you have the money.

@Promidi agreed, was only referring to "writing/arranging". I do -all- of my tracking with real musicians in real time. The last major PRV overhaul (> a year+ ago?) was well thought out and useful but increased use has triggered some thoughts on potential improvements, particularly wrt to drum maps.

Something like GitHub for CxB? Sounds like a major development effort, but a nice thought.

I would use staff view a -lot- more if it were a bit less problematic. I do a lot of writing/arranging, not looking for a score editor, and an even somewhat robust display/note entry would be awesome for working out horn charts, harmonies, guitar voicings, etc. I do appreciate the latest update, continue to prefer CxB for workflow and make do with the PRV and exporting as needed.

The Aria Player shows and plays everything from Dim Pro as well as Garritan.
