Hi and Hello, trying to open keybindings in preferences causes a crash immidiately, no matter if I log in as admin or not. Also workspace is disabled. Deleted 'Bindings' in regedit and restart doesn't do any change. Any other items in preferences work fine. I'm updated to the last version. Any suggestions? Nice regards

Hi and Hello that's how I reactivated Z3TA+2 on my new maschine offline without "Command Center" --> Here's how it works; the instructions on the Bandlab site are a little lacking in context, and the whole thing is different if you need to activate Z3ta+ 2 rather than Cakewalk itself. Here's what you need to do: 1 - Open up Z3ta+ 2 (I used the standalone, not sure if you can do this from the VST itself). 2 - Click on Options at the top right of the window. 3 - Select Offline Activation > Export Activation Request. 4 - Save the file somewhere so you can find it in the next step. 5 - Install the Bandlab Assistant app from https://www.bandlab.com/products/cakewalk 6- Log in to the app (you'll have to create an account). 7 - Install Cakewalk itself on the Apps tab. The other options don't seem to show up until you have done this. 8 - Possibly run Cakewalk (I'm not sure about this step, but after installing Cakewalk, this was still the only option available). 9 - Restart Bandlab Assistant. After restarting Bandlab Assistant, the Open button for Cakewalk (on the Apps tab) now has a drop-down option (little arrow). This might be all that is necessary and the previous step isn't required. 10 - Click that arrow and select Process Offline Activation Request. 11 - Load the file you exported from Z3ta+ 2. 12 - Select the folder to save the response file. This seemed a little finicky; you have to actually select a folder, you can't navigate to the target folder (at least not in my case, I just added a temp folder and selected that). 13 - Go back to Z3ta+ 2 and click on Options again. 14 - This time, select Import Activation Response. 15 - Select the file that was created in the folder you selected above. Bam, it's activated and it was only a highly convoluted process!

Why don't they offer the opportunity to disable docking, especially for users acting floating windows

Hi and Hello, ... this is not what you ment, didn't you? ... and this is how I do it sometimes... it's a bit complicated, anyway. The second envelope was transformed into MIDI-events. So now, the envelope and the MIDI events are syncronized.

maybe this clarifies my concern

Hi and Hello, deleting a track in track pane ("Intrument Track" mode) just happens as it wouldn't be something important in your project. The track (inclouding the associated softsynth) disappaers in a second without any warning or "do you really want to... -question" In "Instrument Track" mode this has some very unpleasant consequences... To reopen the redone softsynth will not work until you split the track into both parts (lanes) otherwise no chance to have access to the softsynth... Then Cakewalk will open another softsynth. I guess the one above or beyond...

...but what if you accidentally delete (Ctrl+Delete) a track in "Instrument Track" mode and redo? - just try... ? Hm, I've always (the last 10 years) wonder Cakewalk doesn't respond to issues like that...

Once again... 1) highlight an intrument track in track pane, which is routed to your MIDI-controller keyboard and a softsynth 2) use shortcut "Alt+R" to make the highlighted track ready for record 3) start record and play some notes on your keyboard 4) stop recording now Cakewalk did record two things together A) your MIDI notes B) a direkt audio record of of that stuff you played on your softsynth !! which will not be shown as existing !! unless you split the instrument track into two lanes --> MIDI/Audio then you will find a hidden audioclip in the audiolane Hm, I haven't found any warning about this issue in the manual....

I have located the cause of this problem... It occurs, while using the shortcut for --> "Arm Tracks" 1) Recorded in Instrument Track (doesn't show the recorded audio in behind) + 2) Same situation with split Intrument Track (now the recorded audio clip is available)

Thx anyway, for concern my question. However, it scares me a bit, knowing there might be audio takings beyond my visual control in behind... (depending on a 1 millimeter symbol)

Okay, but it wasn't my intension to record audio directly and I don't understand why it happened anyway. I recorded with my MIDI-Ctrl keyboard, like I did this for thre last 20 years..? (I'm getting old, he?) or has it something to do with Nexus 3?

Thank you for your answer. So what I did is: I split the instrument track into MIDI and Track-Synth folder and this is what happend: which is the solution of my question... but how can this be? The Audio content wasn't shown in the Instrument track.

Hi and Hello Mr. Cakewalk ☮️ Hmm, something strange occurs here on my system... There is no MIDI note in the track/clip, but Cakewalk generates a sound from a softsynth, but doesn't affect it. There is also no Audio to find containing this sound. I've recorded this melodie with my live-keyboard and then deleted the MIDI notes. Any idea? Here you can see what I mean: no MIDI notes in the second track (only one lane), no Audioclip. Nexus 2 synth is set to solo and it doesn't respond to the played sound as you can see in Multidock window. CbBL What the hack x.mp4 I found this in the forum:

I use software like "Key Remapper" or "Touch Portal" routing (complicate) shortcut-sequences to a single key action - so for me it is not quicker but the same speed...

Changing screensets --> something like a "Monitor Earthquake" ? never liked this happen in font of my eyes... ? What about a screenset for "Stop" and one for "Play" function? ?

That is just how it is... period! ?️‍♂️ (and I am +60...)

Dual Monitors? Then you might be a friend of "ActualTools" software?

Cakewalk - Track Meter May-211.mp4

Hi, thx taking concern of my question. To change between a screenset or a workspace will take to much time and irritates me a lot to find out where I am right now.. I'm a friend of "Floating Windows" inside Cakewalk and shortcuts philosoph. I was aware about T and P is working, but what is this good for, if there isn't a way to open "Options" in the menu? I want an easy way to hide or bring back the meters in my workflow. Shortcut does exist, but don't seem to work... With "Touch Portal" or "Key Manager" it is possible to make a key-sequence (like Alt+T+P) to a one single finger action.

´Workspaces are okay - but Screensets I will never use - because... I'm on Floating Windows ?

Well, my expectation was: Alt+O+T+P - unfortunately it didn't happen, because "O" won't open "option" menu. The shortcut dedicated for "Track Playback Meter" (in Shortcut-Editor --> Track View) seems not to work, anyway. Hm, the thing that puzzles me is, there is underlined stuff all over, but not in the track menu (View, Option, Track, Clips, MiDI ...)
