Thanks Mr. MSMcLEOD - Been using CW 15 years. If there is a drastic new technique of track management, I haven't heard of it. Track folder at the top of the list, track folder at the bottom of the list. I want to move a single track (or folder) to be at the bottom of the tree. I can't move a single track or a folder to exchange places. They are just added to folders as subfolders. That's where it is most obvious, but this happens in the middle of the file tree also. (BTW sorry about not being able to supply a gif. Buried in a time crunch and no time to explore new sw. This update has crashed my workflow. Spend as much time problem solving as production.)

RFSSONGS That's normal behavior to add a track to a folder. If you have a folder at the bottom of your list, you cannot drag that single track to be at the bottom, ie the last track. Behavior requires it to be inside last folder. If you want to move a folder to be first or last, it goes directly to the folder that occupies that position. When you remove the track from the cursed folder - you don't have any say where it pops out. But I can tell you this - if you want to continue with your project, you absolutely better NOT touch track locations. So, 1. Is there a way I can keep this change from being so aggressive? 2. Can I disable the function? 3. Can I roll back to a previous revision until CW addresses the issue? 4. As incredibly difficult this has made my work, how is that I seem to be the only one struggling here with this update?

Hello. Just wanted to move a single track to a different position to organize my project. It's forced into a different existing folder no matter how I try. Removal of the track from the folder puts it nowhere where I need it. Same occurs with folders. No matter how you move it goes to an existing folder as a subfolder. Half the time when I remove the (sub)folder from the folder, it removes the folder but keeps a duplicate. Point: there is no longer user control over your tracks/folders. As a pro, I can't work like this and I'm in a production time crunch. How do I revert to previous rev that works?

HELP!!! This new feature is trashing my project. I can't move singletracks or folders without them going everywhere into other folders and even duplicating and creating more folders! There is no control. 30 minutes trying to untangle my tracks and it's hopeless. Can I turn this feature OFF????? I love cakewalk but I can't do business like this. I've got more than 50 hours into this project and will have to abandon it. Please respond asap

Updated. Open screen & update deleted my tool bar (workspace) setup. Can reset, but cannot save because that save function is greyed out. Only option is APPLY WORKSPACE ON PROJECT LOAD. Special feature? How do I fix this? DATABASE ERROR - Database connection failed. Assigned plugin categories and names unavailable. Special feature? How do I fix this? Had to rescan VSTs because most disappeared. Special feature? I can play about 1 second of audio and it drops out - error 5. Latency checker shows ok. Raised buffer, still the same. Wasn't happening before. How do I fix this? Can't send minidump, no file or file location. Glad I don't have a session scheduled. This would cost me out of my pocket.

Craig is absolutely right. I'm old time bassist and Modo Bass is far superior to anything else I have used. Customizations are awesome. Use the Melodyne trick to get guitar to midi. I use it dailey. Cheers

Using Toontrack EZDrummers and Superior Drummer 2. Load up 1st instance, works great, maps great, sound great. Load up 2nd instance (for percussion), while Cakewalk mapping displays correct, and files pointed correct, sounds being played are not. Rechecked map manager - correct - checked Toontrack prog pointed to the correct folder - correct. So, everything looks good, audition the groove file in Toontrack, sounds good, copy midi to Cakewalk and won't play correct sound files. Any thoughts? I have to be overlooking something simple.

Saving in .mp3 allows the input of metadata. Is there no way to do this for a .wav?

Thanks for the reply Mark. Might be just as simple to export tracks & clips, import to Audacity, change tempo and export tracks. Just thought as sophisticated as CW is, you would have a simple way to do this. I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one this has happened to. Oh well . . . (sigh) . . . . .

Halfway through my project I find the overall project is too slow. I have both audio and midi tracks. Midi no issue, it's the audio doesn't change. Audacity allows to change easy and doesn't ruin the audio. Is there a process to do this or am I doomed to start over from scratch?

Don't know about everyone else, but . . . I have been using asio4all for 10+ years and never had an issue. Set my friend up with Behringer & asio4all - works fine. Sound install in 4 churches using asio4all with no issues. I use Win10 - Presonus Firestudio Interface.

It's been longer than a year since I have logged in to visit Cakewalk Bandlab. Now it looks like everything has to be purchased. My products don't exist and my serial number is no longer valid. So - is Cakewalk no longer free?

A question about mapping: I know drum mapping pretty well and use it faithfully. Absole necessity when writing drum parts. I'm not a keyboard specialist. Every prog has it's own articulations and requires a huge learning curve to use adequately. Could there be such a thing as vst Instrument mapping similar to drum mapping? I can see a vast need for a self programmable map to view all the articulations. TIA King Burton

Plugin Mgr has DimPro as an effect instead of softsynth. Ideas how to change. Would love to know how to edit SoftSynth categories if possible. TIA King

Editing a track with lots of pops (extreme clipping). I can slice the pops out, move tracks together, bounce, BUT an artifact is created that is as bad as the pop. No matter how far back I edit it won't go away. So artifact zoom in looks like no matter how exact I slide the tracks together, after bounce there is a significant space at the join with a -3db peak and very loud. Tried all the tricks I know. Any thoughts?

Using Melodyne 3.2. Using cakewalk vst utility scan - it always locks up the scan when it reaches the cre83.dll. Has there been a fix/workaround yet? Sucks to have to locate it on a different drive. Thanks in advance for any help. King

So - to land the plane - The truth is Melodyne HERE is only a LIMITED trial version that could have been downloaded direct from Celemony and is just a carrot to DL Platinum. I would be better off reloading full feature Studio 3.2.2. Pity. Lot of wasted time.

Don't see anything related to Melodyne activation. Is this just a trial version? Shame if so. main reason I moved from sonar + Melodyne 3.2.2 was for M4

How do I activate Melodyne. It would be a shame if it is only a trial. I could have stayed with my old daw and M3.2.2.

AWESOME guys. Worked fine. Still couldn't install sections to where I needed them but moved manually. I appreciate the help. k

Advertised as not affecting any other product installed. NOT TRUE. Corrupted Sonar x3. Tried 4 different times. Meticulously gone thru registry to try to get as clean an install as possible three times. All support says is that they don't support Sonar x3 and sales blurb about how wonderful this product is. To me if it won't install, it's not that wonderful. Always the same failures: Install Errors GroovePlayer.dll CW130Auto.dll MackieControl.dll Arpeggiator.dll ChordAnalyzer.dll EchoDelay.dll EventFilter.dll Quantize.dll Transpose.dll Velocity.dll All state - "Unable to register the DLL/OCX: RegSvr32 failed exit code 0x3" Also "Code execution cannot proceed because VCRUNTIME140.dll was not found." "Code execution cannot proceed because MSVCP140.dll was not found." "Code execution cannot proceed because CONCRT140.dll was not found." "Re-installing may fix this problem" – DID NOT FIX CP will not boot Not a beginner. Does anybody know the reason/fix? King Burton Win10 Presonus Firestudio

I use Sonar x3. Everywhere I looked people stated Cakewalk Platinum would NOT affect that install. So I decided to dl to evaluate. Installed separate drive for that process. DLed Assistant and Cakewalk with all features. Turns out that yes, you can install the main prog to wherever you want. HOWEVER Stuff went everywhere!!!!! VSTs and other stuff were sent to my Sonar locations on another drive (the option to change this was greyed out) and a huge amount of stuff sent to C:. This install takes up three drives!!!!!!!!!!!!! That's OK because Install Errors GroovePlayer.dll CW130Auto.dll MackieControl.dll Arpeggiator.dll ChordAnalyzer.dll EchoDelay.dll EventFilter.dll Quantize.dll Transpose.dll Velocity.dll All state - Unable to register the DLL/OCX: RegSvr32 failed exit code 0x3 Also Code execution cannot proceed because VCRUNTIME140.dll was not found. Code execution cannot proceed because MSVCP140.dll was not found. Code execution cannot proceed because CONCRT140.dll was not found. Re-installing may fix this problem – three times DID NOT FIX CP will not boot. Sonar boots but missing half functions Work now at a complete stop.
