"In my thirty FIVE years of using Cakewalk I have also never run into this." - one forum user "In my 35 years I have encountered this issue many times, and it's come up on the forum many more times." - another forum user Whether you do or don't seems a regular consensus on this forum and pretty well sums up Life with Cakewalk... or life with computer. Anomalies can happen to anyone, anytime, anywhere, and for anyreason. Not to brag but I have a 100 page memoir to prove it. If there's something wonky going on under the hood or with your routine, seems Cakewalk will be one of the 1st to protest. ...I'm usually the 2nd.

"Too much information"?? Many of these pages come up in a Google search and not always clear to the viewer which ones are current or defunct. Even gaga.cakewalk and taylor.cakewalk pages still come up on occasion adding to the confusion. The last page shown above stating "We're sorry, this part of our website is currently undergoing maintenance" is misleading and only leads to confusion and frustrated forum posts like this one.

1. Right-click your desktop 2. Select Display settings at bottom of list Do you see 2 screens? If so, how are they oriented and are you dragging to #2 in that direction? - you can change the orientation by dragging #2 around #1 - if you don't see 2 screens then you haven't set them up 3. Scroll down Multiple displays and check that Extend these displays is selected

Workspaces?? You can hit "F" or "Shift+F" to bring it all home or make a Custom Module button for it.

In my case it didn't create artifacts but actually damaged and distorted the wave form. I figure some algorithms have trouble "crunching" the numbers accurately when shrinking short clips like this one.

Thanks Mark. This is a 4 sec clip shrunk 65.25%. Radius worked but I would expect none of them to ruin it.

Don't know what "round" means but themes for Cakewalk by BandLab can be found in the Forums > Community > Content > UI Themes forum.

This will bypass the entire PC rack even if some modules in the rack are left "ON".

Since you posted, I'll update my post above here: Not true since a complete system reinstall. 32 bit- StVX64.dll v1.0.3.0 (2012) 2208 KB (StyleDial) VX64_VocalStrip.dll v1.0.4.0 (2014) 1954 KB 64 bit- StVX6464.dll v1.0.3.0 (2012) 3041 KB (StyleDial) VX64_VocalStrip_64.dll v1.0.4.0 (2014) 3041 KB I remember reading about it or maybe had an issue myself awhile back but don't have any details. I was just offering as a maybe why they're hidden.

I've always used Elastique for bouncing clips with good results until today. Bouncing should clean up audio distortions. But today it actually created them. 4 sec vocal clip before bounce: audio looks and sounds fine. after bounce: audio looks and sounds distorted with popping noises. I tried bouncing this clip with a bigger one with the same results. I switched to Radius and got much better results. They each work better for certain tasks - as outlined in the documentation, but none of them should create distortion or artifacts damaging a clip beyond use. So just wondering what might be going on here.

Sonitus plugins have been around forever now and still no way to automate them ON/OFF? They all have a BYPASS button so can it be added to the automation list? For instance, when using the Equalizer, I have to separate sections of a full length clip and setup 6 automation lanes for those sections. Or put the sections on a separate track, or... It would be simpler to automate the Sonitus BYPASS button.... or even the track FX Rack ON/OFF button.

Only me & only once.... Either way looks like I misread it, but they were already renamed so I wasn't going to rename them again. I just finished using the method I posted in bold above and didn't take so long. Took longer to create this thread tho you helped get me on the right track.

Yes I renamed them in the folder. The quickest, most common, traditional method used by normal people everywhere. Thanks for that info Canopus. but simply loading and Saving As to the same name does not work. I located the STRING names in a resource editor and found the names had not changed. This method only works if you're renaming it differently than the name it already has. What does work is, opening the theme, double-clicking a color, clicking OK and hitting SAVE. Now... does doing that to 40+ already renamed files sound like a good use of time? I love the T.E. but the renaming thing sounds like a bad way to code.

I just cleaned up my theme folder of unwanted/unused themes. Then I renamed several. After a system reboot CbB still lists all the old names in Preferences. Not sure which is which now. Since Theme Editor is no longer updated is there a way to fix this on my end? Theme Editor itself sees the new names as expected.

Something wrong with the Browser when Audio FX is listing MIDI FX instead. Try removing and reinstalling Cakewalk as administrator.

Well it does change the track icon as it should but doesn't change the sound or Pan of the output. Something disabled the Pan function permanently locking the tracks in the hard panned state they were in. I could post before and after screenshots showing this.

I was curious if I had done something to cause it but now I don't think it's something that can be reproduced intentionally and may have happened during one of CbB's frequent crashes or hanging in Background Processes. AAR the offending tracks are replaced with new ones in the latest saved project... so far so good. Turns out I had saved several sequential projects that have the bad tracks but they will lie dormant until deleted.

... something interrupted my train of thought.

Easily confused with Interruptibility.

Same track with Pan set 3 ways resulting in same left output. Bus plugin is stereo Sonitus Equalizer. The other track panned hard right affected the same way.

Depends on the effect you want from the track. It's common to use a stereo plugin on a mono guitar track.

dxshell works great but has some odd side effects. I put it in the TTS-1 folder so VSTHost will see and load it. Since it's in the TTS-1 folder, Cakewalk/Sonar lists it twice: Does the same for Dimension LE dxi and Roland Groove Synth, only the dxshell versions load in Cakewalk with a blank GUI and no sound. VSTHost gives me a mile long list of other "dxshell.dll" with no clue what plugins they are. Not sure how it finds it's way outside the TTS-1 folder but all hosts seem to let it go wild.

Tracks were deleted but appeared as any new track would, Pan knobs simply didn't work. I finally traced the issue to a 2020 project that was saved in x32 SPlat. The last good project was also saved in x32 SPlat. The problem is there when opened in SPlat so SPlat is to blame. I haven't worked on those particular tracks since then so didn't notice the issue until now.

In my case it's possible the Metronome was going thru outboard FX so the last note's tail was recorded. I try to avoid this... most of the time.
