When input is set to None and the track has input echo set enabled, the input is automatically set to Omni. By default if an instrument or MIDI track has focus, input echo is enabled. This is controlled by the Always Echo Current MIDI Track setting in preferences. Either setting inputs to something other than None (or Omni) or turning off "Always Echo" helps stops unexpected data from hitting the track input. This and only turning on "Enable MIDI Output" for plug-ins that actually need to send data in the project are all good ideas. By default any synth that can send MIDI data has "Enable MIDI Output" turned on.

Bitbridge is a 32bit VST host. It loads 32bit plug-ins and handles all the communication between the plug-ins and the 64bit DAW. 64bit DAWs cannot load 32bit plug-ins directly. In the long run it is best to follow the lead of the manufacturer and stop using 32bit plug-ins that are no longer sold or supported. That or stop updating. It makes little sense to keep updating the OS if the software running on it is not kept current too. jBridge a paid alternative to Bitbridge may work better in some cases. Bridges were never intended as a permanent solution. Bridging was developed to give developers and users time to transition to 64bit. The transition started over 15 years ago,

Soundfonts are a binary format requiring a special editor to create and maintain. The files contain audio data. Sfz files are text files that may be created using any text editor. Generally the files do not contain audio data instead, they contain the names of the audio files.

Type %appdata%\Cakewalk\Library in Windows search Click on the folder to open it Then rename or delete Library.db in Windows Explorer.

Grace may work too. If one wants to learn the sfz file layout sforzando is another option.

Before answering questions on bundles, keep in mind, bundles are still a feature in Cakewalk for backward compatibility. They are suitable for sharing projects with other users but are not suitable for long term project storage or archiving. Definitely not suitable as the only copy of a project. For years there have not been many valid use cases for bundles. Before the DAW can use a bundle it must unpack it into a regular project and audio files. With the exception of audio snap data which cannot be stored, a bundle stores the project file just as it appears on disk. This includes all the plug-in references. The audio is stored in the bundle is as it exists in the original project. Bundling essentially creates a new file by writing out the project file (less audio snap data) and appends the the audio clips to it. No additional processing is done to the project or audio stored in the bundle.

By setting your audio tracks to go through busses and the busses to a Master bus which is set to your audio interface's output, you would get all of your tracks to play through your headphones. All the project templates included with Cakewalk are setup to do this. Use one of them or get in the habit of creating a bus when starting a project and set it up as the "Default Bus" using the context menu in the bus header. When a default bus exists, all tracks and buses will automatically default their output to the bus. In the bundled project templates, the default bus is labelled Master.

Chances are some of the MIDI tracks are set to omni input and the synths have "Enable MIDI Output" enabled in the the VST2/3 drop down. Open the synth UIs, click on the VST2/3 header above the UI and make sure "Enable MIDI Output" is off.

This would be true if the signal leaving the DAW and the playback hardware are mono. However, mono tracks in the DAW usually resolve to a stereo master bus and out to stereo playback hardware.

It may help to see images of the appropriate sections of the scan log or a link to the full scan log. What plug-in layout are you using?

If it scans without error then it should be a plug-in list somewhere. Have you tried searching for it in the plug-in browser using one of the "Sort by" plug-in layouts? What is the path to the dll?

The keyboard shortcut for bypassing effects was removed in 2020.04. The function "Bypass All Audio Effects" may be bound to any available shortcut in preferences. The old shortcut "E" is available ATM. While there is no way to move buttons from one module to another, "Bypass All Audio Effects" may be bound to a button in the custom module. Collapsing modules in the Control Bar is a way to preserve access to them while leaving maximum space for the other modules.

One reset should be enough, if the plug-in is in the scan path Since the plug-in is not appearing in the plug-in list "Rescan Failed Plug-ins" is the option to choose assuming the plug-in shows up in the Excluded List in the plug-in manager. There is no need to enable Rescan options when running a Reset. The reset scans every dll and vst3 in the scan path except for the dlls in the dedicated vst3 paths. One thing not mentioned in the OP was if a scan log was created. Enabling "Generate Scan Log" when running a Reset or Rescan can be helpful.

It depends on the plug-in developer. A few support VST3 migration. Some update their plug-ins such that even in same format appears to the DAW as a different product.

Please do not cross post

Check the Zero controllers When Play Stops setting.

The large export module shows the current selection length in hh:mm:ss:ff format

Since you have a real ASIO driver, the generic one should be removed. The easiest way to remove it is by deleting its entry in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ASIO If its registry entry is removed Cakewalk will not see it. If you prefer not to mess with the registry, rename or delete the dll.

Fury 800 is made by Full Bucket Music I prefer to source plug-ins directly from the developer.

For multi-out synths I usually click MIDI Source Synth Track Folder All Synth Audio Outputs: Stereo from the Soft Synth Options Dialog

Often when sharing an audio device between a DAW and other programs, if the other programs cannot play audio while the DAW is running it is because Windows is running at a different sample rate than the DAW.

Is the track armed for recording before clicking record on the transport? There is a record button on each audio track and at least one track must have the record button enabled for the transport to start recording audio.

To (de)select an arbitrary collection of notes in the PRV using the smart tool in the PRV - hold down the CTRL key and Right-Click the notes in hotspot "C" see figure 207 and table 17 below it in http://www.cakewalk.com/Documentation?product=Cakewalk&language=3&help=Tools.04.html Holding down the CTRL key and Right-Click drag toggles the select state of the lassoed notes. In this video, I select 5 notes by holding down the CTRL key and Right-Clicking the notes, then I invert then revert the selection by holding down the CTRL key and lassoing the notes.

Often old urls such as the one linked above https://www.cakewalk.com/Documentation?product=SONAR X3&language=3&help=EditingMIDI.15.html can be modified to show the current documentation by modifying the product. In this case changing "SONAR X3" to Cakewalk like this https://www.cakewalk.com/Documentation?product=Cakewalk&language=3&help=EditingMIDI.15.html The Event Inspector is another way to modify MIDI data including velocity. Another way uses the velocity bars in the controller pane. Enable the controller pane by selecting "Show/Hide Controller Pane" in the PRV View menu. There is an option in the PRV Note menu to "Show Velocity on Selected Note Only". This option makes manipulating selected velocities a little easier. Select the notes and click-drag the velocity bars.
