I re-installed Cakewalk. When I add an icon to Notes and then save as template, files created with the template have the icon, but the start screen has the default old generic icon. And, generally speaking, the best place for the icon to show is in the start screen. (I presume it is a known bug that when saving templates you must first select the Go to folder before you set the file type, otherwise it uses the default project folder.)

It was the problem. Spotted it while you were typing your answer. 🙂

Version 2024.12 Build 125 Automation working on old projects. This one started off as all MIDI files running into a TTS-1. Replacing it with individual VSTs. If I record automation I can see it in the clips, and I can hear it, but the controls don't animate. Probably related: Fader is at -6. I open automation lane for volume and it shows 0. I enable Write and the fader jumps to 0. Disable Write and it jumps back to -6. Seeing as it works properly in old projects there is just something funny somewhere in this project. EDIT: Solved; Envelope/Offset mode was switched on.

Under Export -> Audio -> What to export select Entire Mix. Sources must be your speakers.

When you say hit Save, are you using File Save or do you have Save in the Custom module on toolbar? If so, maybe remove and reinsert it. You can even try sunning scannow /fs. Nothing to lose.

It stopped nagging many months ago.

You mean the updated version runs better than the one you were using? 🙂

Have a look in the Community Content UI Themes section. Might be one there.

Then go to YouTube and watch Creative Sauce videos about getting started with Cakewalk.

EDIT: It was a folder permissions thing If i set up a layout and then use Save as, Save as type = Template, Go to folder = Templates folder, click on an existing template, and then Save, it copies the existing template's filename, and then saves the template with that name in the projects folder. It does read the templates from the templates folder.

You could try asking in the Instruments & Effects section.

You do realise that CbB will no longer have "updates", only bug fixes?

As a matter of interest, what was your project folder?

And when you have free time go to YouTube and watch Creative Sauce videos about Cakewalk. Never mind their age.
