During install Rapture Session/Pro checks for legacy synth installs and copies their programs into its program folder.

This means Cakewalk Sound Center, Dimension Pro and Rapture Classic must be installed prior to installing Rapture Session/Pro.

If the legacy programs are missing from Rapture Session/Pro, re-run its installer.

I’m on my phone so can’t copy the link but look for the thread Timing issue solved and on page 2 Noel posted an update build 147 which might solve your issues 

2021.04 build 147 has been superseded by early access to 2021.04 Update 1 posted here

It appears to be a separate account.

After completing the support login, I can still access BA, this forum and BandLab website using  my original ID and password created during the migration from Cakewalk.

Don't have much experience with BandLab but based on this post it does not appear to be the case

This forum was created for Cakewalk by BandLab. While there may be a few BandLab users here there is very little information/discussion about the DAW here. 

As integration between CbB and BandLab improves this may change.

Unfortunately, there is no forum dedicated to BandLab but there is a Facebook group and support@bandlab.com

I was roaming the menu and clicked on the support link on the help menu.

It appears there is a new account database for support.

The login screen supports authentication via Google/Twitter and email.

One of the screens mentioned that if I had sent them email in the past my account was already set up  and I needed to request a new password. Otherwise, I needed to create a new account. 

Since I had sent email to support in the past I...

• requested a new password,
• got a link via email,
• followed the link,
• added a password

and the support page opened.

try the 2021.04 Update 1 Early Access release in this thread

In addition to a link to the release is information about Error Detection and its the setting in Preferences > File - Initialization File

Here is info about the plug-ins bundled with CbB. Rapture  Session is not included with CbB.

Rapture Session is a separate installer available from your old Cakewalk account and through the Cakewalk Command Center.

Cakewalk Command Center is the easiest way to install and active the plug-in.

Either way, you will need to use your old single sign-on to gain access to the old Cakewalk site. If you forgot your password, contact support@cakewalk.com to have the password reset.

If your old machine still has Cakewalk Command Center installed consider copying over "C:\ProgramData\Cakewalk\Command Center\Downloads". This folder contains all the installers previously downloaded from Cakewalk. The Command Center checks this folder before downloading installers. It can save a lot of time.

If the last version of 64bit SONAR was not installed prior to installing CbB consider uninstalling CbB then performing a full install of the last version of SONAR. 

If you have a long history with SONAR and want to build a more complete setup from the various versions read this

My studio computer is running the latest version of Cakewalk by Bandlab

issues regarding the "lastest" version of CbB should be made in the feedback thread specifically created for the current version.

That said, "latest version" lacks precision, a better method is detailing the version info in the About screen.

The current production release is 2021.04 build 144. 

As a result of issues with build 144 a new Early Access build was released today 

ASIO4All has nothing to do with MIDI. ASIO has nothing to do with MIDI.

ASIO4All was developed as a way for a user to connect Windows Audio to software that required an ASIO driver.

ASIO4All is not a driver, it is a wrapper for Windows WDM drivers.

The reason ASIO is preferred is a well written ASIO driver provides the audio interface optimized communication with the DAW. This is not the same as using ASIO4All because ASIO4All is just a middleman making WDM drivers look like an ASIO driver to the DAW.

In addition to ASIO, CbB natively supports all the Windows audio driver modes. WASAPI modes are the best choice for Win10 systems when using the PC audio chip. Older OSes should use WDM. MME is the most compatible but the poorest performing, hence, it is the last choice.

WRT using a MIDI keyboard controller with CbB, maybe this thread will give you a few ideas

There are several beginners videos about how to use MIDI, see the tutorials section of this forum for links to them.

It may not be a problem with the export.

It may be a problem with the playback software.

To determine if the problem is the export or the playback, import the exported file back into CbB. If the  imported file sounds the same as the original project when played in CbB, the problem is the playback software. Make sure Windows and the playback software do not have any audio "enhancements" enabled.

Mercury, a theme included with CbB features a light PRV. As do some light and dark user themes mentioned in the link above. For example, all three of my themes use the Mercury PRV.

The theme setting is in CbB preferences.

One tool to speed up simple drum map creation is ins2map.

This tool will convert an instrument definition (ins file) into a drum map for Cakewalk SONAR. (Essentially, any text file with a mapping from midi note number to drum instrument name can be used.) The created drum map uses default values for most parameters and is not linked to a particular virtual instrument, so it's mainly the first step and may require enhancements to be done in SONAR directly. 
Download and Further Information http://dis.sesseler.de/ In the left menu area, click on “Cakewalk SONAR”. Then select “Instrument to Drum Map” to download the file.

Please do not cross post

ASIO limits hosts to using one I/O driver at a time.

To switch drivers deselect both input and output then make a new selection.

I do not know about Zoom devices.

Most audio interfaces have a way to monitor their inputs directly without going through the DAW.

Doing this and monitoring from the DAW at the same time will case an echo because the direct signal arrives at the monitors/headphones before the return signal from the DAW.

Make sure input echo is not enabled on the tracks being recorded.

Input echo is the button right of the record button on track headers in the track view.

This is one of the first posts on the forum

email support@cakewalk.com

it goes to the same place

The errors are coming from the plug-ins. CbB has no idea what files are  used by a plug-in or where they may be located. 

In addition to a corrupted or bad install, one thing that may affect the ability of a plug-in to find its file compression by the OS. Check the disk to make sure the folders and files are not compressed.

Could be an unexpected "feature" of the Beta or the Beta has the same serious bug as 7.2.0 so they withdrew it by updating everyone to 7.2.1.

Only the devs know for sure.

Not sure who is running the BA Beta. 

I guess this would be something to ask support@BandLab.com.

Beta programs generally have some type of communication with the testers, otherwise; why have a Beta program.

Either remove the "empty space"

or 

make a time-based selection for export

Select the start and end times to export

or

place a MIDI event, such as a note with 0 velocity, or automation node where the song should end

current version is 7.2.1
