I'd like anyone that reads this thread to know that I had a hard time having the theme editor saving the file. It doesn't seem to want to save it as the same name. I had to move the file from the folder and rename it "old" and then it saved it fine. The Theme editor apparently doesn't want to overwrite the old file in case we use an old version of CbB that's expecting the old file.

I installed 2021.04 and it says Custom Theme incompatibility. The Theme I have is old and needs to be updated. I assume I need to download the new Theme Editor. I've searched all over and can't find it. Any clues on what I need to do Thanks,

This is great info I just did an experiment, I'm using 2020.11 and I chose to download the update, after it downloaded I opened the folder and saw that this is a different path from the way Bandlab did it. I chose not to run the file and closed Cakewalk. The file was deleted. In the future should i immediately save that file to a different folder, because Cakewalk will delete the file after install? Or is that file saved?

You said installers downloaded using CbB are stored on disk - can you tell me where? I used to open the downloads folder and if I was fast I could select it and copy it to a different folder before it was deleted, in case I need it later. But I stopped doing that and don't see the download >>Without the 2021.01 installer, one way to re-install the current version is rollback to the previous version. Then BA and CbB will both make the update available.<< thank you this is a great idea and would have prevented my debacle. At that time I was not aware of the rollback feature - live and learn - ha ha. >>Links to the rollback installers are provided in the release announcement.<< cool, I saw it and now know how to do all this better next time

I agree totally in order to keep multiple versions of Cakewalk installed and switch between them, that the safest way is always run Cakewalk from Launchpad. The thing is for me I only ever run old versions when I run into a bug in the current version. When I ran into this bug (that I've reported already to Cakewalk email support) I did some testing and used launchpad to test other versions. When I ran into this problem I posted the bug under 2011.01 Feedback. You saw this post and Noel said my mini-dumps were caused by the wrong CW130Auto.dll. For some reason the check mark on restoring the current version of CW130Auto.dll didn't work in my case and caused the crashes. He suggested I reinstall 2021.01 Since the install files are not saved, the only way I saw of doing this was first uninstalling CbB and then reinstalling 2021.01 Well that turned out to be a big mishap, because then my export presets were gone. I didn't hear of any way to restore them, so I used the rollback installer and after that CbB would not open at all saying there was an error in with ttslame.dll not found. This is when I decided to just revert my C drive to the image file I made right after installing 2020.11 So in retrospect I think I should have instead put the 2020.11 CW130Auto.dll into Shared Utilities and only run it and not run 2021.01 anymore.

Need some clarification on Launchpad I've had a problem with 2021.01 so I wanted to only use 2020.11. I can use launchpad to run 2020.11 and if I understand correctly the only thing Launchpad does it to place the correct CW130Auto.dll into this folder. C:\Program Files\Cakewalk\Shared Utilities\CW130Auto.dll Is that correct? if so then once I'm 100% sure which CW130Auto.dll is correct for 2020.11, I can even manually place that file in that folder and as long as I only run 2020.11 from it's shortcut, I'll be fine. Yet if I try to run a different version from it's shortcut without running launchpad then I'll be using the wrong CW130Auto.dll Is that correct? If all of this is correct then I could also run 2020.11 using launchpad and then the correct CW130Auto.dll would be in place and I could then run 2020.11 from it's shortcut and it would be fine as long as I didn't run any other version from it's shortcut only.

I was having problems with 2021.01, so I decided to use the Cakewalk rollback. it didn't work. I got this error message while trying to open CbB, which never opened cakewalk.exe system error code execution can't be found ttslame.dll not found reinstalling program may fix I assume it means to reinstall Lame and not reinstall 2020.11, which I was trying to rollback to. The setup files for 2020.11 are never saved, so I can't reinstall that version. if it's referring to Lame. I don't use the old Cakewalk MP3 converter from about a decade ago, I use a custom version of Lame that's integrated into CbB when I export files.

Noel suggested to always use the official rollback installer if I need to go to a prior build. I've looked all over and can't find it. Any suggestions?

While trying to test a bug in 2021.01, It was suggested that I reinstall CbB since I may have a faulty install. I didn't see an obvious way of doing this without first uninstllling 2021.01 and then reinstalling it. When I did this, somehow it deleted all my Export Audio presets and Bounce to clips presets. Where are these files stored? I can revert to a previous image file of my C drive to find them or I can look in my Deleted files folder that saves all files that were deleted. I also have quite a few older versions of CbB that I can run using Launchpad, but those older versions don't have these lost presets either. I wondering what else I may have lost by uninstalling. Any help will be appreciated

I would be nice if our cut, copy, and paste function had this feature that Arranger has: "set the Overlap Threshold to 1/16 and copy a section with overlapping notes by using Ctrl+Shift+Mouse drag,"

Man it's good it was a test project. If I ever try to use it, I'll rename the cwp, so I don't lose anything. Either Arranger is buggy or we need help in understanding how to use it

I love the ripple editing. It's a huge addition. I guess using the 1/16 or 1/32 before the spot it'll be good especially if I set the nudge to 1/32. Then it's easier to find the beginning spot and find the target. I think I'll try that next time. I just installed the new 2021.01 update last night, it lists several improvement to the Arranger. Maybe it'll work better for you. I hope some one else replies that has had success with it.

I saw this feature in 2021.01 "Arranger section inclusion of outlying MIDI notes. When dragging sections or committing arrangements, Cakewalk has logic for dealing with leading/trailing MIDI notes that overlap section boundaries." Sometimes I want to copy a midi piano from Verse 2 to Verse 1. If it starts on or near the downbeat of the selection, I quantize beat 1 so the piano is exactly on beat 1, because if I don't and the piano starts even 1 click before beat 1 it won't copy. Apparently the Arranger feature solves this. I've never used the Arranger, so I'm not sure if I should try to use this in this situation or if there's a way to copy a piano track with leading/trailing MIDI notes that overlap the selection boundaries and paste it to Verse 1.

When I found out I couldn't use an ISO file I thought like you that Nero could problem do it and I could send the client my free copy of Nero for him to install along with the Nero file. I noticed your file was a NRA file. That sounds more like audio. Here's maybe part of the problem, I used CD Architect to create my original CD I then uploaded it to Oasis CD Duplicator and created a test CD. I first put the test CD in Nero and chose "Copy CD" it then created an .NRG file in my E:\My Documents folder. I then copied the NRG file to a different computer in E:\My Documents folder. I Opened the NRG file in Nero and everything looked ok until I hit "Burn" then instead of prompting for a CD I got this "Save Image As" window. My situation is different from what you outlined, because I'm forced to burn the test CD from Oasis. Weird things can happen with an upload due to the internet and various computer problems, so I felt he needed to check out the test CD not my original. I do have a 2nd CD to do with him, so do you think Nero would work in my situation?

I was certain that exactly how I could do it, until I tried and then started reading articles saying that an audio CD is different from a data CD and the ISO image won't work. If you've successfully done this let me know. Maybe there is a specialized ISO that will work with audio.

I'm not wanting him to get separate wav files from a zip file, I wanted to send him 1 file like a ISO that he could easily burn an exact copy of the audio test CD from the upload I did to the CD duplicator

I sent him the wav files with wetransfer and walked him through the upload and he burned the test CD. I'm surprised there's no ISO type file for audio CDs. DDP is what the duplicator uses, but they didn't have any solutions for getting the client a file to burn the test CD

I've done a CD project for a client and we're trying to save time by uploading to the duplicator. I uploaded it and made a test CD of the upload and thought I could just make an ISO copy of it, send it to him and he could burn an audio CD from that. But ISO files don't work for audio CD's. Does anyone know how I can send him the exact copy of the test CD?

I just tried Aim Assist and couldn't get it to do it. So I think it's something else that's causing this. The selection is following my mouse curser with no buttons pressed down. If I hold my left button down, I can get the selection to follow my curser. Maybe my left button is sticking. If any one has any clues about this, or has experienced this, please chime in.

I'll try that next time. I can see how easy it is to accidently press X. I think I'll disable that shortcut for X. I never use aim assist. Thanks

For a long time I've been seeing some strange behavior In the clip pane if you left click and drag the mouse from the top to the bottom and then to the right or left you have a dark gray selection. But sometimes I have a dark gray selection follow my mouse without me dragging. I think if I click somewhere in the clip pane I can get it to stop. To me this is a strange quirk or bug, maybe it's a feature, but I don't like it. Does anyone know what this is?

Thanks John, that's sure a good cheap solution I can pass on to some of my other clients. It turns out this guy does have a decent mic and a Focusrite interface. He called it a Focusrite Fate, but I must have misunderstood him. I didn't find that one. But regardless I know Focusrite is a good product so he should be in good shape.

It turns out he does have a decent mic and a Focusrite interface. He called it a Focusrite Fate, but I must have misunderstood him. I didn't find that one. But regardless I know Focusrite is a good product so he should be in good shape. On my DAW I do use my Realtec audio to playback Win Media player. It's very convenient and doesn't cause conflict with my AVB audio interface. And the playback quality seems fine. I agree about the mic inputs. I'm so glad he has the Focusrite that should do it and that eliminates the possibly of syncing issues and not needed ASIO4all or WASAPI Thanks everyone for the excellent help and suggestions

I have a Singer/Songwriter who has a laptop which is 1.5 years old with a Celeron processor + 4 gigs of RAM and onboard Realtec audio. He installed Cakewalk. All he wants to do is to import my stereo music track and record a few vocals. I know it's not great quality, but will this work?

I have Melodyne assistant, but still prefer to use V-Vocal. For me to prevent it from crashing, I have to disconnect all soft synths. Then save and close the file and double click the file to reopen it. You can't go from one file to the V-Vocal file, you must close CbB first then reopen it by double clicking the file. Doing this seems to clear out the RAM. Once I do that V-Vocal never crashes. It seems to have something to do with RAM. My template with the soft synths uses 3.5 gigs of RAM. After I tune a clip I bounce it to track to eliminate V-Vocal. I only work in small clips and it never crashes working this way with CbB.
