Everytime i get errors "Cant load module".

Old 32bit plug-ins should be avoided, There are plenty of free 64bit plug-ins.

The cause of this problem is a combination of old plug-in design and security changes the OS.

Installing these plug-ins in a folder that everyone may write into often solves the problem IOW, do not install these plug-in in "Program Files" or "Program Files (x86)."

While adding these plug-ins to a folder that everyone can read and write may be the best solution, running the DAW as administrator will overcome the permissions problem too.

I can open the projects in safe mode by declining all plugins (rather than one by one). 

That's a start and suggests an issue with one or more plug-ins.

Check the Windows Event Log

See if there are any dumps in %appdata%\Cakewalk\Cakewalk Core\MiniDumps

Run the project in safe-mode (hold down the SHIFT key while loading the project). It may be enough to load in safe-mode. If not, it may be plug-in related. Safe-mode allows control over loading each plug-in instance.

Factory supplied ASIO drivers tend to be the best for performance.

In Win10 WASAPI is usually the best when manufacturers do not make an ASIO driver or the ASIO driver is faulty.

In older OSes WDM  is usually the best when manufacturers do not make an ASIO driver  or the ASIO driver is faulty.

Generic ASIO drivers are never a replacement for real ASIO drivers supplied by the manufacturer unless something is severely wrong. They can be used in place of WASAPI or WDM. 

Some manufacturers support multiple devices with the same ASIO driver but I am unaware of any manufacturer that allows multiple devices from different manufacturers.

The one driver at a time limitation is part of the ASIO specification.

Cakewalk supports other driver modes such as WASAPI shared and WDM which do not have this limitation.

Generic "ASIO drivers" (such as ASIO4All) do not have this limitation because they work with WDM drivers and present them to the host as a single ASIO driver.

ditto

Or save all your cash and only grab their free Kee Bass plug-in (email address req'd)

ASIO supports one I/O driver at a time.

To change ASIO connected devices, clear the current input and output selections and all the devices will be available.

Is it several instances of BA or one instance with several threads?

The later is normal for programs built with the Chrome Embedded Framework.

Assuming this is a new project with nothing but the soft synth (IOW no other plug-ins in the project) double check preferences and make sure the DAW is set to ASIO driver mode

If there are ANY plug-ins (other than the synth) in the project, bypass them using the FX button in the Mix Module. If the latency goes away, it is caused by one more plug-ins in the project.

CbB installs as an upgrade to SONAR.

IOW, the DAW, Cakewalk Content, ProgramData and User directories are version specific with Platinum and CbB having their own separate folders.

The "Shared" folders are all updated to CbB which is backward compatible with Platinum. This includes the PC modules, DX plug-ins, utilities such as the plug-in manager and VST scanner.

There are two DAWs offered by BandLab Technologies

• BandLab - a web-based DAW
• Cakewalk by BandLab - a Windows only program

This forum was created for Cakewalk by BandLab

You may want to contact support@bandlab.com or the Facebook group

There may be other avenues for BandLab support but I am not very familiar with the product.

ThankYou  Tonemangler  ,  yes it was the 0 +enter  in last ver to enable nudge, but juz seems its gone, and tried all keys without luck,  cakewalk is pretty good at hiding stuff

The default numpad behavior was/is nudge.

Numpad 0 used to toggle the Enhanced Keyboard Editing mode.

This used to be a source of confusion as some trying to use nudge would accidently invoke this mode instead by hitting the numpad 0.

As a result, the keyboard shortcut 0 was removed in CbB 2020.04 leaving it up to the user to assign the shortcut.

For now use the Notes Browser

Do you mean like this?  I wondered if that part of the screen was "reserved".  I felt the Icons were a bit redundant as they are already present just to the right of the track number.

The large icons may be easily modified to something more meaning.

By default, they are a larger version of the image to the left of the track name.

The small images to the left of track names for instrument, MIDI tracks and their associated audio double as buttons to open the soft-synth UI.

Packing all the controls, buttons and dropdowns (all could be called widgets if you prefer) in the minimum amount of space possible makes it difficult to create and find hotspots for menus.

set Record Bit Depth for recorded audio

set Render Bit Depth for clips created by DAW processing

Most of the space in the red brackets is reserved for track icons which are turned off in the image posted.

It depends. This is a pretty common problem when migrating projects to 64bit hosts.

Pretty sure Cakewalk  Home Studio 2002 was 32bit.

If the plug-ins are VST format, they will load into CbB.

If the plug-ins are DX format, they will not load into CbB.

My guess is they are DX plug-ins.

You could install Cakewalk Home Studio 2002 load the projects in it and swap out the plug-ins for 3rd party VST plug-ins, hopefully new ones that have both 32bit and 64bt versions.

Keeping a 32bit host around while transitioning to 64bit is handy.

Turn on the scan log too.

Set the Record Bit Depth to 24

The company that made SONAR (Cakewalk) was shut down by Gibson in 2017.

BandLab purchased the Cakewalk IP from Gibson a few months later.

Cakewalk by BandLab (CbB) is a free 64bit DAW based on SONAR Platinum.

CbB is actively supported and maintained by BandLab (some of the Cakewalk staff were hired by BandLab when they purchased the software).

It installs as a free upgrade to SONAR Professional.

Once installed both SONAR and CbB will be available and CbB can use all the plug-ins and content bundled with SONAR.

Here are the instructions for installing CbB using BandLab Assistant

Does it matter?

As far as the DAW is concerned...no.

Some prefer the extra control Pro offers over Win10 features and policies.

I have used Win10 Home since 2014 without any problems.

My new machine has Win10 Pro. I expect it will be equally drama free.

That's for you to decide.

Try it and see if it meets your needs.

At least you know what the software currently offers.

Yet another company that does not advertise updates.

Grab the full installer if you have any of their other plug-ins.

They were all updated in Oct 2020.
