https://help.cakewalk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360021858313-How-do-I-access-my-older-Cakewalk-programs- Platinum should be installed before CbB

Depends on the version of CbB. Prior to CbB 2019.09 build 25.09.0.68 depressing CTRL invokes quick group for all tracks. Starting with CbB 2019.09 build 25.09.0.68 quick group is disabled without an active track selection.

Please do not cross post. Continue using While backup is always a good idea, uninstalling CbB does not affect user modified files including project data.

Seems like this guy had the same problem

This type of report should be made in the 2020.05 feedback thread A thread is created each time a version is released. Problems with the current release should be made in that thread. Here are some additional steps for reporting crashes

If I was experiencing this problem, before opening a ticket with support I would try to create a recipe for the failure using plug-ins bundled with CbB. Here is a test I might try. start CbB (if the machine has not been booted today may want to do that too, I turn off my machine every night and cold start the machine every morning, no sleep/hibernation mode used ever.) create a new project with the "-- Blank Project --" or an unmodified BandLab supplied project template. (Make sure to specify exactly which template was used to create the new project when reporting to support) using the add track menu, add "SI-Electric Piano" as an instrument track to the project (I selected this synth because it is supplied with CbB and part of the same family of plug-ins as "SI-Drum Kit", one of the plug-ins reported as a problem) record enable the track and record some MIDI notes using the keyboard controller making sure to include notes in the range documented for SI-Drums (roughly MIDI notes 35-59). verify the notes are recorded and play as expected on "SI-Electric Piano" with the cursor at the end of recorded MIDI, replace "SI-Electric Piano" with "SI-Drum Kit" by right-clicking the small icon to the left of the track name and selecting "Replace Synth" from the context menu then selecting "SI-Drum Kit" from the available synths. repeat step 4 verify the notes are recorded and play as expected on "SI-Drum Kit." If step 5 fails, the problem is not a Drum VST issue. If step 8 fails, this is a recipe to report to support. If step 8 does not fail then try steps 1 though 5 using "SI-Drum Kit" instead of "SI-Electric Piano." Make sure each step is performed exactly as the initial test all input settings must be identical to the initial test. If the second test fails, this is a recipe to report to support Include the info about the test that passed and the test that failed. When supplying information to support include as many details as possible. Include info about the OS and release level of CbB. Details about the keyboard controller and audio interface. Include how the controller is attached to the PC. Include the test projects.

I just checked the google page. The link works and the theme along with everything else I have created for SONAR and CbB is there.

AFAIK, the source code for Session Drummer 3 was part of the IP BandLab purchased from Gibson.

It was never sold separately. The company that made the product went out of business.

yes yes see this thread

How much space does it take? FWIW, should you change your mind, SONAR needs to be installed before CbB so that the parts they share are the latest from CbB. The recommendation from BandLab has not changed since they introduced CbB, install Platinum then install CbB. It is not necessary to install everything but the Platinum DAW itself must be installed to run some of the other Platinum installers. Unlike older versions of SONAR there is no advanced install option to install individual plug-ins. Plug-ins are grouped together into several installers. While one does not need to run all of them, other than skipping an entire installer there is no way to filter what gets installed. BandLab Assistant makes it pretty easy to uninstall and re-install CbB.

see this post for Mbox2 config

You should post this as a new topic in https://discuss.cakewalk.com/index.php?/forum/2-cakewalk-by-bandlab/ In addition to the describing the symptoms, it is useful to know a little about the setup such as the OS, Audio Interface, version of Cakewalk

Properly implemented VST3 plug-ins provide a host bypass option. The button in the upper left of the VST3 standard header just above the plug=in UI. Docked plug-in should display track info in the tab at the bottom

AFAIK, automation is stored in projects and project templates not track templates. Here is the list of things stored in a track template according to the documentation.

yes

Two useful shortcuts for views in the Multidock are Expand/collapse MultiDock D Maximize/restore MultiDock SHIFT+D from http://www.cakewalk.com/Documentation?product=Cakewalk&language=3&help=KeyboardShortcuts.html#1306347

See if the project loads in safe mode. To do this, hold down the SHIFT key while opening the project. This will give you an opportunity to skip loading plug-ins.

The version of Melodyne suppied with CbB is a time-limited trial. Once the trial times out the editor will no longer function but the monophonic audio to MIDI and tempo map functions will continue to work. To access the editor or polyphonic algorithms after the trial period requires purchasing a license for Melodyne.

The Anderton Collection was released with SONAR Platinum/Professional Nov 2015. The SONAR Platinum default path to this collection was C:\Cakewalk Content\SONAR Platinum\FX Chain Presets\Anderton Collection\Processors This collection was removed some time ago. It was replaced with the 30th Anniversary Anderton Collection FX Chains. Here is a link discussing the 30th Anniversary extras https://www.cakewalk.com/30th There are two versions of Monitorizer in the 30th Anniversary collection. The SONAR Platinum default path to these presets is C:\Cakewalk Content\Cakewalk Core\FX Chain Presets\30th Anniversary Anderton Collection As I mentioned above the path to FX Chains presets is set in preferences. Instead of messing with the default path in CbB I copied these along with other FX Chain presets from Platinum into C:\Cakewalk Content\Cakewalk Core\FX Chain Presets

You are welcome

The MIDI note numbers match or the note would not play. Neither the DAW or the plug-in actually work with music notation. They use numbers. What pitches the numbers represent is a display issue and the display is off (IOW note number 35 displays B2 in CbB and B0 in Kontakt). The link I provided above can adjust the display in CbB. I have no idea if Kontakt has a similar feature.
