It may be a bad driver. It may be a bad driver install. Does the driver show up in Cakewalk as an option in preferences when ASIO driver mode is selected?

I fully understand the request, do you understand the impact the request has on the signal flow in the DAW? The meter you are asking for must reside before the panner regardless of the hat the person behind the console is wearing.

The device is an audio interface only. There is no mention MIDI on the store page or quick setup guide

Having what separate? By the time the signal hits the meters, mono and stereo tracks have a left and right output. This is what the meters show. Screen resolution has nothing to do with this.

The meters show levels after the panner. Until the meters are moved before the panner, they will always show the left and right side levels regardless of the interleave setting. If the line between the left and right channel is a problem, turn off segmented meters in preferences or create a custom theme with the desired images. Of course, the meters will look the same regardless of the interleave setting and still show the levels after the panner.

Not true. Setting interleave to mono causes the meter to show Left and Right at the same level. Setting interlevel to stereo causes the meter to show the Left and Right channels separately.

What would the switch do?

More information is required Which audio interface and driver are installed?

The is not a feature in Logic or a limitation imposed by Cakewalk. It is unlikely Logic is using ASIO. The restriction of one I/O driver is imposed by the ASIO specification. All the other driver modes supported by Cakewalk do not have the limitation.

Currently the shortcut is ALT+P,Enter,R using the menu navigation Shortcuts for the Process menu items may be assigned in preferences, however; "R" in the global area (where this function resides) is reserved for Record. It cannot be reassigned.

I have never seen a blank program browser in the SI Suite plug-ins. If the programs are actually missing, the plug-ins will be silent because they rely on these programs for which sfz files and samples to load. The program folder for the plug-ins are in "C:\ProgramData\Cakewalk\Studio Instruments" For example, the SI-Bass programs are in "C:\ProgramData\Cakewalk\Studio Instruments\SI-Bass Guitar\Programs" Note: ProgramData is a hidden folder. If the programs are missing the plug-ins will need to be re-installed.

ASIO4All or any generic "ASIO" driver can be a problem when a real ASIO driver is present. There should be at most one ASIO driver for each audio interface attached. CbB looks in the registry entry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ASIO for installed ASIO drivers.

The best place to report and check for problems with the current release is the feedback thread create for the release. There is a know problem with SoundToys plug-ins. Here is the post from the 2021.01 feedback thread

Also make sure the Record :Latency Adjustment drop down shows the correct device.

Make sure the DAW and Windows are set to the same sample rate. This also holds true for any program that can set it sample rate independently from the OS such as Melodyne. Make the programs are not setup for exclusive use such as WASAPI Exclusive drive mode in CbB. Here is one way to check and set the sample rate in Windows

I suppose we will find out when it happens. If it ever does.

That's right, it is often called a time-based selection. The second method mentioned in my post. Some prefer to bounce the entire project to a track in the original project before performing the export.

Not a CbB bug. Turn off Always Import Broadcast Waves at Their Timestamp Could ask the supplier of the audio clip(s) why they created broadcast wave files instead of regular wave files.

No because freeze is non-destructive. Although it is possible to freeze a track one time and re-enable the PC and FX rack for additional processing. To retain a frozen track and enable freezing again requires copying the frozen tracks somewhere before thawing the track to re-enable the freeze option. One may repeatedly apply effects which destructively applies effects in place.

It is called freezing a track

Not sure how often MIDI Guitar goes on sale. IIRC, they did a promotion when v2 was released. I bought it at the early adopter price of $70 in 2012. Don't think it is has ever been close to that since. Nice to see they have added a functional VST to the demo.

Or click in the SI-Drum plug-in UI and press the F1 key to open its help. The MIDI notes used by the plug-in are documented in "Using the Drum Pads" and "Using the MIDI Patterns" sections. This covers a little more than the basic GM note info. There are three ways to make the MIDI note assignments: In the hardware - as suggested above by reviewing the hardware manual In the PC before the DAW - there are tools such as MIDI-OX that may be used to intercept and remap MIDI data. In the DAW - CbB provides a plug-in Transpose MFX and drum maps. Both can create translation tables to transpose MIDI data. There are third party plug-ins that can do this too such as Code FN42 NoteMapper. Some drum plug-ins have their own mapping tools too. SI-Drums is not one of them though.

The point of my post was to explain how the current solution works. There is always room for improvement. Moving from the Media Foundation library is a possibility. I believe this is Noel's most recent comment

Instead of mute consider archiving hidden tracks. Muted tracks still processes data; archived tracks do not.

For now try MIDICSV. The direct link to the Windows zip is here.
