I found a workaround... I have to load a song with no audio (only midi), then I have to set NEW songs at 48Khz, and this set this song at 48.... (all ok for now). Now I can create a new song at 48 (CTRL + N) or open a song already at 48 khz..... Very strange: as said this was not happening in the past, and this is not happening in Platinum. What goes on??? thanks Giorgio

Hi to everyone, I am experiencing problems opening 48 Khz project in my system. It seems that there is a difficulty for my audio card (Midas VeniceF 16 Firewire) to set itself at 48 Khz, while using 44.1 khz projects it is fine. (loading the midas software I can see that it tries to set the board but it fails, and it keep trying and trying..... endless). Opening the same project (same computer) on Sonar Platinum works fine, but with Bandlab Cakewalk (latest release) the program becomes irresponsive. Also, if I set 48Khz for new projects, and loading a blank song, the problem is there. Can someone help me for this? Can this be connected with a problem of the new Threading Schedule system? Thanks, Giorgio

Fine, all clear, thanks again! bye, Giorgio

Thanks a lot scook and msmcleod. So, if I understand correctly, to change the "audio track input" into an instrument track (when using more than 1 output) the way will be to split the instrument track to the "old way": 1 midi + 1 audio track. Thanks again, Giorgio

Thanks a lot. Found it! (and I inserted SupportedProjectVersion=26.01.0.xxx) Giorgio

Dear all, I have a question regarding the new Multi-timbral soft synth enhancements feature: once the tracks are created (let's say 4 tracks if using the TTS-1) using this method how can I decide which track are associated to a particular output of the synth? I mean: the 4 tracks are correctly created, OK, but where can I select which output synth is working with a particular track if I need to change something? (using the "old" audio track way there is the INPUT dropdown menu that allows to decide which synth output the track will listen to...). Thanks, bye, Giorgio

Hi, I am unable to find the CWAFtool.ini file in my "C:\Program Files\Cakewalk\Shared Utilities\" directory (but this is the directory where I have the cwaftool.exe file...). Where this file should be located? Thank you. Giorgio

Mmmh, I see and there is indicated that using an MCI message into a midi track the song will stop. Interesting, bye, Giorgio

Found the solution setting the Input Echo to OFF (before that disabling Always Echo Current Midi Track into the preferences). Thanks again, Giorgio

Thanks a lot. This seems very good and I will probably try this solution too. Regards, Giorgio

Hello, I tried this solution and YES it works. Thanks a lot. One only problem: if the computer has ONLY 1 MIDI IN / OUT, and I need to use a cable on those midi ports for loopback, as soon as the the song reaches the midi note for the STOP command, I can see that the midi track seems to go in a midi loop state or something similar (the midi vumeter starts blinking and never stops). In my system I managed the problem assigning the midi track to a DIFFERENT midi in port, but what can I do if the system has only 1 midi in/out? BTW I also managed to insert a second command into the ACT module, to jump at the end of the measure, so simply pressing the spacebar the song starts again from that point!!! Bye, Giorgio

Mmmm, thanks to you all, I will try this evening!!! bye, Giorgio

Does anyone tried with the Control Surface trick? I had some success but not 100%. I have a Frontier Tranzport and I noticed that the STOP button sends a midi note A7 with value 127. In my system it seems to work (adding a second Frontier Tranzport in the Control Surfaces, setting up a midi track with a A7 somewhere, setting this midi track to "hear" a different midi in, and using a short midi cable for loopback). Problem is that I need this function in another computer without a Frontier Tranzport installed, so I tried other options in the Control Surface menu but without success. Thanks, Giorgio

I would like to suggest - if possible for a future release - to add the ability to have a STOP command in one or more points of a song. Please take a look at: Probably this could be done in several ways; maybe adding a STOP command into the markers... Thanks a lot, bye, Giorgio

I noticed the same. I also was thinking to set something into a marker... Thanks, Giorgio

Dear all, is there a way to tell CWB to stop playback automatically in a particular moment of a song - not at the end? Thanks, Giorgio

Just installed 2019.07 and tried for a very short time (till now), but I am very happy with this new version. Thanks to all! Bye, Giorgio

Hello. Is this small issue fixed? Thanks a lot, Giorgio

Hi James, I didn't test what you're saying, but I thought exactly the same. It seems that Cakewalk Bandlab, when does not have the focus, does receive but does NOT send the messages (via midi) to control sufaces. Let's hope that the bakers could reproduce and fix the problem. Bye, Giorgio

Hi guys, I got an answer from the techincal support, and they are now investigating!!! bye, Giorgio

I did it using the page: https://help.cakewalk.com/hc/en-us/requests/new Is it correct? Regards, Giorgio

Ok, I tested and I found that in Cakewalk Bandlab if the application doesn't have the focus (if you "see" another program) the display does not follow the song in the display (the bars should go on, but becomes "freezed"). Then, you press ALT+TAB and you go back to Cakewalk Bandlab and the display immediately runs as expected. So, I tried the same thing using Sonar Platinum and this problem is not present. Should someone inform the bakers for a correction for the future? Should I do this? Bye, Giorgio

I can check in my system what happens with my Tranzport, but in my setup this is the only control surface that I have. So, to "replicate" the problem I should maybe start a different program (like notepad) while sonar is running and see if the display is showing correctly? Bye, Giorgio

Thank you!!!

Thank you Noel, Giorgio
