The old  LP plug-ins were dropped from the Engineering FX Suite when the L-Phase plug-ins were introduced. Try Engineering FX Suite installer version 1.0.0.13.

If I wanted to do this today, I would use aux tracks as buses

Aux tracks like other tracks may be duplicated.

The company stopped that promotion years before they went out of business.

It was a 32bit DX plug-in so does not load into 64bit DAWs.

A copy of the plug-in will do you no good without a serial number.

Loading themes that have incorrect image sizes messes up the graphics.

There is no need to reboot but it may be necessary to restart the program with a properly sized theme or Mercury (the original resource file) to restore the correct image sizes.

In short, use a theme designed for the release being run.

Rarely do image sizes change but when they do, user themes must be updated.

FYI, 2021.01 requires updates for the Select Module.

Celemony provided me with a link to version 4 with instructions to uninstall any installed versions from my PC and to install version 4. After following their instructions and running the VST scan again, Cakewalk still isn't showing Melodyne as a Region FX nor seeing the VST3 version.

After verifying the vst3 plug-in is physically on the disk, the default path is  "C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3\Celemony\Melodyne", run a VST Reset from preferences with "Scan in Sandbox" and "Generate Scan Log" enabled.

Then if the plug-in does not show up, there is a scan log to review.

Tuncury

Tuncury Light Green

Mercury Light Green

All may be found on my Google page

edit: updated for 2021.04

edit: Tuncury and Tuncury Light Green themes updated for 2021.04 Update 1

edit: added 2021.12 Early Access themes

edit: Replaced 2021.04 with 2021.12 theme, removed Early Access link

There is an additional medium background (the old large).

Most themes will need 6 updates to the Select Module.

1 large background

1 medium background

4 new buttons

After importing, select the track and use Bounce To Track(s) with the "Split Mono" channel format to create two new mono tracks from the original clip.

You're using WASAPI Shared as per your screenshots. Change it to ASIO.

The screen shots are from the documentation

The OP is posting from memory.

In regards to # 1, Yes, all imported music tracks sound fine when played outside of Cakewalk (or within Cakewalk on a different driver than ASIO). However, with ASIO set as the driver, imported tracks sound metallic when sent to the AI output AND Master output. The recorded track from the AI input sounds fine regardless of what output device I set it to. And like I said, audio sounds fine when the output is my laptop speakers (although I only have the option of setting my laptop speakers as the output with a WASAPI driver (not the ASIO), and my AI only works properly with the ASIO driver.

Please post images of these preference screens on your PC

Double check the sample rate setting in the software supplied with M-Audio Interface and make sure it agrees with the sample rate set in CbB preferences (the last link above)

In regards to #2, the USB/Direct knob seems to act purely as a volume knob right now. It doesn’t blend the two tracks together whatsoever. It either decreases the volume of both when turning it one way, or increases the volume of both by turning it in the opposite direction. And this is the same regardless of what output I have both tracks set to.

The USB/Direct Knob will act as a volume knob if there is no signal at the M-Audio inputs. This is because, the knob mixes the signal from these inputs with the signal coming from the PC. All the way counterclockwise is 100% USB (the signal from the DAW) and 100% clockwise is the signal from the M-Audio Inputs.

Reboot, check preferences again and verify the middle image only contains the Presonus driver.

If there is still a problem, post the images of these preference pages from your setup

So ASIO is the driver mode set here

and Presonus is the only device and it is selected as both the input and output here.

and nothing appears in the time master drop downs here

What does CbB show in the timing master drop downs?

Other than the Presonus driver are there any other audio device entries in preferences?

The simplest video capture tools are ScreenToGif and LICEcap

While uploading directly to the forum is possible, there is a 50MB user quota.

Rather than dealing with the user quota, I prefer to upload images and videos to an account on imgur.com and link the images in my posts.

Once uploaded to imgur, clicking on the file displays a screen with a variety of options, I click the copy button next to BBCode and paste it into my posts like this

My guess is the track is being summed to mono. This results in a 3db boost. See https://www.cakewalk.com/Documentation?product=Cakewalk&language=3&help=Playback.19.html

Rather than work with 2 mono channels in one track bounce the track using the "Split Mono" track format to create two mono tracks. Then throw away one of the tracks and work with a single mono track.

So for the second step "close all apps using it" how would I know which applications on my device are using WASAPI.

Any Windows program capable of sound is a candidate including the OS.

WASAPI Exclusive driver mode may help as gives the DAW exclusive access to the sound chip while the DAW is running.

I have not had a machine with the internal sound chip enabled for some time so have no recent direct experience with it.

By convention, on 64bit Windows

64bit software goes in "C:\Program Files"

and

32bit software goes in "C:\Program Files (x86)"

There is nothing requiring a user or developer to follow the convention though. 

Since we are having such a basic discussion, I would not recommend simply moving software around.

While it will work for some things, software installers typically do more than copy files into folders. This often includes writing registry entries based on the install location. 

That is an unusual path for Cakewalk by BandLab to use as it is a 64bit program.

The default path for CbB Shared Utilities is  "C:\Program Files\Cakewalk\Shared Utilities"

Even if there was a 32bit version of SONAR or other 32bit Cakewalk DAW installed, CbB typically does not install or look for shared files in the "Program Files (x86)" folder.

One could directly edit 

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cakewalk Music Software\Cakewalk Plugin Manager

but there are several registry keys created for items in the "Shared" folders and given this one is messed up makes the rest pf the install suspect.

A simple uninstall/re-install does not fix registry problems.

A clean install does. 

The instructions for a clean install are here

These instructions remove CbB and all old Cakewalk softeware. 

If third party plug-ins are installed in the default CbB VST folder "C:\Program Files\Cakewalk\Vstplugins" they will be deleted too. This may be avoided by temporarily moving the folder out of the Cakewalk folder before performing step 8 of the clean install instructions.

Platinum did not ship with Essential 5

If you upgraded in error, Celemony may be able to help

Otherwise it may be time to upgrade the OS

It is hard to keep one piece of the software static and upgrade everything else.

Just now, MisterGreen said:

One thing on the VST scan: Melodyne appears under the VST category but not the VST3 category.

Run the  Celemony modify option from Windows  Apps & Features to install the VST3 plug-in
