Install worked without add-ons.  Interesting....

Manual install?

It seems as though it might be win10 security not allowing programs to autorun after downloading.

Cakewalk is already permitted in firewall so I tried to add bandlab, but even in %appdata% I didn't see a bandlab.exe anywhere so it must be running with a different relationship to the OS?

You might want to install only Cakewalk first without Add-ons. There are case in which this is works.

Yes. That may help too. My early attempt gave me two of the extras but both corrupt...

I’m wondering if the last Windows update is causing problems.  I had it on my laptop before, but recently did a major clean up and reinstall of a few things, but Cakewalk isn’t wanting to install now.

Did you try what I did? I left it downloading showing zero progress for near an hour before it changed back to the install button, then manually launched the update which did download to the %appdata% area during that.

I can’t get Cakewalk to reinstall.  I uninstalled and redownloaded the Assist App on my computer.   Logged in, went to install, and it just sits there saying “downloading 0/2” and doesn’t download the program.

I did an uninstall of the DAW prior, but now even the Assist App after reinstall is acting up.

Thx!

Hi Dan...

Second win 10 machine I ran into this. On both machines, i waited long enough and tho the progress bar never appeared, BA eventually showed install again, but the file did downloaded to the bandlab assistant download folder in %appdata% and running it manually installed fine though I had to run BA again to get it authorized.

Someone must know which setting to change so that win10 allows it to run as expected?

Could check

%appdata%\bandlab-assistant\Downloads

to see if the update installer is complete.

If it is, it may be run directly from there. If it is incomplete, it likely will not run.

Thanks again Steve!

It was there and waiting. Update ran easy...

...but I still don't know why this was happening. Using win10 windows defender I was unable to add bandlab to the exceptions list. Cakewalk is already there both local and public.

I'm sure I can deal with it but my friend is not that computer savvy...  so I will continue to look into this each opportunity I get...

Could be the Anti-Virus software getting in the way too.

Thanks!

Good thought. I didn't think of that as I only use windows defender these days which doesn't seem to interfere the way McAfee & Norton often do. I don't know what he's running, but I will check that as well...

[edit]

I was just thinking...

When I originally installed on his machine, it worked fine. Maybe a win10 update issue?

You're always here with valuable info and ideas.

I'll ty this tomorrow if I can get access to his machine or later if not...

I did think of looking but didn't...

Today I ran into a problem while helping a friend. He had not updated in a while.

i updated Bandlab assistant then clicked the Cakewalk update button. When it reached 100% it did nothing and the update button still said update. I repeated the update with the same result then rebooted and tried again. Same result...

What might be happening here?

Win10 machine just updated prior to doing this update.

Any info or ideas would be appreciated very much...

Thanks!

Cool!

I think I remember needing to download (or authorize?) kits other than install the plugin...

Check your account on xln...

If Noel mentioned the Hotfix for the Hotfix the other day, then why wasn't that included in the update I installed yesterday?  I still don't get it.

?JB

Timing is everything!

I imagine the second hotfix (build70) was not released when you performed the first update.

He mentioned it a couple of days ago but it wasn't available until sometime last night/this morning.

Hotfix for the hotfix. Noel mentioned it the other day.

Wow! Am I dreaming or has the zoom on lanes been changed? I just zoomed some lanes and was delighted to find the comp track reasonably smaller than the zoomed lanes....

I hope this is real! ?

Thanks Bakers!

Not sure if this was broken before: ALT +Z is not working in the PRV. You can use the Zoom tool (Z), but you can not undo with ALT +Z. 

 

 I believe this has been true for a long time ...

no idea for sure, just speculating... but for example, if it did rely on some dll installed by chrome, that wasn't up to date (eg, user not letting chrome auto-update) with the latest bla requirement (that uses the lastest version of that dll), one might experience such odd issues

btw, if you don't use chrome, uninstall it, it's just a data-mining tool, no reason to have unless you want to share your data with google

I see what you're thinking. Could be.

Honestly I installed chrome only to checkout bandlab. Which seems very cool though I don't use it. Not enough hours in my day...

just wondering if the bla relies on some chrome dll (cf, the multiple instances showing in task manager when it's running)

 

I guess not?

@Keni do you have Chrome browser installed?

 

Yes

...but I don't use it.

is there no log file that might give a clue as to why? for an "on-line" company this seems a bit amateurish...

Don't know. But it's not a show stopper...

 This was the second update in a row that failed for me and I was forced to do it manually.

 Not a big deal. Just saying 

I posted this issue just a little while ago too.

Works fine on my pc...

I added firefox to my ipad and it wouldn't work either.

Finally managed to connect via firefox/ios this time and post this reply...

Something is wrong since the website update the other day.

This is getting frustrating...

The other day I was stopped by a notice re:site being updated.

Since then I've been having a lot of trouble. Pages won't load, sometimes buttons don't work...

I replaced the old link I was using and that helped a little, but something is wrong.

Is anyone else experiencing this?

Thanks!

BTW... It's working fine via Firefox/Windows

I would go with the Vol 1 and Vol 2 method and just be done with it. There's no use stressing over it Keni.

Thanks Leadfoot...

Exactly the current (new) plan.

I discussed this with CCBaby and they have no problem with this.

So I'm thinking to name the 2 registrations the same but with "part 1” and "part 2” to differ them.

My next concern is the naming on the disk. Can I leave out the part1/2 info in it's titles? How will yes/no affect legal coverage? Currently I have added "Parts 1 & 2" to the booklet cover, cd, and tray. Wondering if this is enough or must I add it to the CDBaby registered title as well. I would love to leave it out completely, but.........

@Keni Do you or anyone else know what this means or pertains to under the new GRUW law?

"exception will be made for eligible sound recordings and the underlying musical compositions, dramatic works, or literary works embodied in the recordings, bringing that to a maximum of twenty (ten sound recordings + ten recorded works)."

I don't know. I also don't understand the duplicity of sound recordings vs. recorded works.

I've received my first replies from copyright but they only say the same things via links... I await further info and will post if/when I receive any...

Change your genre to Progressive Rock.  Four songs and the album is done! ?

I could easily make longer songs, but that's not what I want...

I know, I'm fed up with the ever changing copyright laws too. The last filing I did they actually called me at home because they couldn't understand my previous registration addition on the form. I've done it many times in the past & for over 20 years yet the person still couldn't understand it.

Now the per usual increase in fees plus more restrictions on the artist, very discouraging.

Your 2 file method might be the way to go.

Good luck!

Thanks
