ProChannel isn't just a pretty face on a dolled up FX bin. It basically replaced the EQ section of a track channel with far more versatility.

Yes. Save regularly while working. Also, Save As a copy at days end because, tho very rare, it IS possible for a project to completely disappear when certain crashes happen.

True

Not sure, but if not you can add a dead note or CC at each end to maintain length when bouncing.

Cakewalk Utilities maintained by "Elffin" has a few.

Yes. However, the Hold (TAB) key requires a key stroke for each ON and each OFF. Would be better if it was a "momentary" switch - press down for ON & release for OFF like a pedal.

SI instrument sustain is working as expected with my pedal controller here. Not all MIDI devices behave the same. 1st try changing your Input to the Focusrite > Midi Ch. 1 instead of All. If no change, disconnect the 2nd keyboard and try playing the SI-EP using only the Roland & pedal. Then vise versa using only the 2nd keyboard & pedal MIDIed directly into the Focusrite. One minor "bug" I notice with all keyboarded SI instruments is the GUI's inconsistent key velocity when playing with a mouse. Velocity increases the closer you click/play to the front of a key - softer as you go towards the back of a key. White keys play - as expected Black keys play - not as expected. Since black keys are half the length of white keys they can't reach full velocity with the mouse. Apparently a one-velocity-range-for-all-keys approach is being used. Addictive Keys suffers the same.

Set up your controller in Preferences MIDI then select it and only it in the track Input. Not a fan of using All Inputs when recording MIDI but occasionally CbB/Sonar likes to select them all.

Gotcha. Since they're only file libraries it won't hurt to leave older ones intact in the event some app may need them, tho.

As mentioned, hover your mouse over the Inspector and scroll up or down with the wheel to find hidden areas. Works in Console View also.

Lord knows what you'll find there...

Double left click does this also with Smart tool. Right click notes opens menu. Use Draw tool for one click repeat notes. Touch any note (cursor changes to glue bottle) to duplicate it's size on next note drawn.

You have to set up your sound source in Preferences. Then you will see Hardware Outputs (E) to the far right in Console View.

Interesting. Just did a search if ok to remove older ones and found most recommend not to. Maybe older apps need them? I donno. Will reinstall the latest for kicks.

Appears I have the latest and always have. Don't they install with CbB? Seems they did with Sonar. I have 25 versions plus "Tools for applications" dating 2022 back to 2005.

Yep. How often do I end up with a sliver so small I can't see it, save for the dots. But if someone wants 'em gone, who am I to ask why??

Just opened a fresh instance of CbB, clicked File. clicked New, clicked Basic, clicked OK. CbB started to open the new project then disappeared off screen without a trace. It did the same a few hours before after working a while in another project. This happens occasionally without warning for no apparent reason at any time in any place.

Ooopsy, you're right. But in my theme they are the same. I haven't found a way to turn off ellipses but you can turn off Track Separators in the Views > Display menu.

That is the traditional way. Not likely to change within this century. You can use a tool like KnobMan or WebKnobMan to avoid repainting each frame but they have a learning curve.

The dots appear before the beginning of a clip. They do not appear when a track has no clip. You can paint them to match the Track View Clips Pane Background. Preferences = Customization > Colors > Clips Pane Ellipse Theme Editor = Track View | Clips Pane | Clips > Clips Pane Ellipse

Yeah, forgot I had dxshell. Removed it & cleaned the registry so it's gone now and all the 32 bit VSTs are no longer listed.

The DX doesn't show in those layouts or the right-click menus, only in the Sort by Catagory = Uncatagorized > Cakewalk > Time/Pitch Stretch 2 layout here The Cakewalk Time/Pitch Stretch 2 VST shows in all my layouts and menus but does not load or work as it's 32 bit [Program Files\Cakewalk\32 bit plugins\dxshell.dll] BTW my menu layout is different than msmcleod's

Typically used for organ vibrato but depends on the voice/instrument being played as they can be programmed for a variety of effects. Some voices don't use it so the wheel will do nothing for them.

Install the programs & deselect all but the FX. Should probably reinstall CbB last. Most will work minus a few 32 bit and DX types like StudioVerb2. I have all X series 32 & 64 installed so I can revisit older projects w/o incident.

No.
