Change the output on the tracks to an aux track or bus.

If "N" is a problem, it may be disabled by setting the shortcut to "Do Nothing" in the Global Area in preferences.

No, audio and MIDI driver modes operate independently ASIO is an audio specification and has nothing to do with MIDI.

Click on the expert button and try switching the precision to non-linear.

The only documentation I know about is https://www.cakewalk.com/Documentation?product=Cakewalk&language=3&help=Mixing.39.html

Patch points are not necessary for recording unless you want to record effects applied to tracks in real time. They are definitely not needed to record soft synths. For recording audio in real time using soft synths see https://www.cakewalk.com/Documentation?product=Cakewalk&language=3&help=SoftSynths.27.html For now uninstall ASIO4All. Pick a computer and interface. If you decide to use the soundcraft mixer then setup CbB to use its driver and the appropriate driver mode If you decide to use the internal pc sound chip use one of the WASAPI driver modes. When you have settled on a computer and an interface provide details about the hardware and images of Preferences > Driver Settings and Playback and Recording. Start with a simple project using the Basic project template with one audio track and no plug-ins. When the transport stops unexpected, if there is a toast message with a drop out code. Please provide the code.

Is input echo enabled? This is the button to the right of the record button in the track.

ASIO drivers have nothing to do with MIDI. The interface uses a different driver for MIDI.

Unexpected changes that happen after the transport stops may be the result of the per-project setting Zero Controllers When Play Stops

This video shows auditioning a loop in BA click-dragging the loop from BA and dropping it into a CbB track downloading a different loop in BA click-dragging the downloaded loop from BA and dropping it into a CbB track

what options are on the menu?

Depends on the synth. Some expansion packs were rolled into the regular installers some were not. IIRC, the Dimension Pro expansion packs were added to the latest installer, the Rapture expansion packs were never added. Traditionally all the expansion packs were available through the knowledge base. In the past I threw away the programs and samples for Dimension Pro and Rapture installed on new machines and copied over the files from my previous machine. Now the samples are integrated into Rapture Pro so going forward, I will only copy the ProgramData from Dimension Pro and Rapture and copy the Rapture Pro sample set. This level of detail depends on the level of customization performed on the installation.

I found this on another site from a developer of TriplePlay. It is from 2013 so I am not sure if it still applies The option 2 referenced in this quote is

Does the TriplePlay plug-in have the ability to send MIDI data? The option is in the VST2/3 drop down above the plug-in UI. If so, the plug-in may be used to drive multiple synths using one instance of the TriplePlay plug-in by adding the synths to the project instead of loading them in the TriplePlay plug-in and setting the inputs on the synth tracks to the TriplePlay plug-in.

That is not how the program works. It seems to me one could wire the keyboard as they choose rather than remap the data in software. That said, there are a couple of ways to translate MIDI note data in CbB.

Once downloaded, loops in BandLab Assistant may be dragged directly into CbB from BA. To download a loop either audition the loop or click the download button in BA Downloaded loops are stored in folders in your Documents\BandLab\Sounds folder The files may be dragged into the project or imported from there too.

ASIO is an audio specification. If one interface is used just to connect MIDI devices to the PC, it does not need an audio driver at all. Here is a little more info about ASIO drivers in general. There should be at most one ASIO driver installed for each interface. If a generic "driver" such as ASIO4All is installed it can be a problem for interfaces that have a real ASIO driver installed because the generic driver serves as a driver for all audio interfaces. Some manufacturers do not supply real ASIO drivers instead relying on generic drivers. Some DAW manufacturers such as Steinburg, MAGIX and FL Studio install generic ASIO drivers. CbB uses the registry entries in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ASIO to determine the drivers on the PC.

At the top of the plug-in is the most recently used section. It really has nothing to do with what plug-ins are available at the moment. It simple shows which plug-ins were last used. The section with the plug-in categories is built from the currently available plug-ins and EZD is not there. I doubt running as administrator will make any difference. EZD should scan and work without admin rights. At least it does on my machine. Hopefully the 64bit version of EZD was re-installed and where ever it was installed is in the VST scan path. The 32bit version of EZD does not work in 64bit DAWs. Assuming the correct plug-in is installed and in the scan path, from preferences run a VST Reset with "Generate Scan Log" enabled. If the plug-in does not show up review the scan log.

This is how it works today. Double-clicking on a row in Drum Grid Pane header opens the row in an editor.
