Do you have custom layouts? If so, are they listed under Plug-in Layouts in this menu? Also check effects if you created custom layouts for them.

I am running out of ideas It might be time to email support@cakewalk.com Working in Preferences > File > VST settings Remove everything except one scan path and run a reset If it does not show up in the "Sort by Categories" try different paths one at a time running reset each time If it does show up in "Sort by Categories" add another path to the scan path and run a manual scan

Try inserting a ProChannel Module - here is how http://www.cakewalk.com/Documentation?product=Cakewalk&language=3&help=ProChannel.02.html

Is the PC modules menu populated?

Is any part of the drive compressed?

Is your user folder compressed?

feel free to rename the database just like the ini files, the database gets recreated if CbB does not find it.

It can get corrupted but usually the program will say so. Library.db is a SQLite database and holds the category info Removing/renaming the database causes the program to create a new database with the default categories in it. Does the main VstScan.log indicate the scan ran to completion?

That is an individual sandbox log. There should be a main VstScan.log too.

BandLab Assistant still sees the registry entries. Removing the Cakewalk registry entries should restore BA's ability to install CbB again. From the Clean install instructions

Depends on the version SONAR

The "Sort by" layouts are built on the fly from the registry. CbB does build temporary layouts for the "Sort by" layouts. They are stored in the plug-in layout folder. The default location is %appdata%\Cakewalk\Cakewalk Core\Plug-in Menu Layouts. The path is specified in Preferences > File > Folder Locations. After the reset did the message appear saying it created a log? If so, make sure you are looking at the current scan log. Does it indicate it ran to completion? What paths are in the scan path? What version of CbB are your using? What version of the VST scanner? The default path to the Vstscan.exe is C:\Program Files\Cakewalk\Shared Utilities

BandLab Technologies has several commercial ventures. Click the product logos near the bottom of this page for info about them.

This is useful. Was the scan log a result of a VST reset? If not, run a VST reset from Preferences with "Generate Scan Log" enabled.

It could be a bad plug-in layout make sure you are using one of the default "Sort by" plug-in layouts

Could be the PAUSE/BREAK key - see http://www.cakewalk.com/Documentation?product=Cakewalk&language=3&help=Troubleshooting.32.html

Unless you use 32bit plug-ins BitBridge does not matter at all. I doubt the MIDI prepare buffer is the issue. Usually this is an audio buffer not getting flushed until the transport starts up again. It is normally buffered effects like delays and reverbs. Of course, many synths have those effects built-in.

Get a video editor. Cakewalk cannot edit video. It displays video and the associated audio track(s) for audio editing only.

Could it be plug-in specific? The problem of some effects plug-ins buffers not flushing is not new. It goes back decades. Not sure this is the same as the OP. Their problem may be driver related. Another reason SONAR and Cakewalk hang during shutdown is plug-in related though. Some plug-ins get stuck in memory. This is most often caused by 32bit plug-ins loaded in BitBridge but not always.

Maybe, all of the plug-ins in that image are not part of CbB but were bundled with some versions of SONAR.

Did you have an active user account on the old Cakewalk site? Or are you trying to install DP and DPLE from disks purchased around the time of SONAR 7?

Just tested AutoGainPro v1.2.3 using the process described above. The VST3 does not record automation The VST2 does. I am not aware of a threshold setting in CbB.

Just verified the link this KB article. https://www.cakewalk.com/Support/Knowledge-Base/2007013364/Setting-up-a-Drum-Map-for-Addictive-Drums-2-in-SONAR

@Noel Borthwick I got the impression from another post these may be FX Chains. IIRC, some of the bundled FX Chains reference plug-ins not included with CbB.

I don't use ASIO4All but I know there is setup software that comes with it. Here is the documentation for it http://index-of.co.uk/Audio/ASIO4ALL v2 Instruction Manual.pdf
