Also, normally when you select multiple tracks and hold down CTRL key, you can send them all to a Bus at the same time (or change the in/out). However, this does not work when these tracks are in a folder. You have to go through each track in the folder and set it, which seems strange.

This does seem strange and I am unable to reproduce the problem

Common problems when using the internal PC chip are

• running Windows and CbB at different sample rates (audio devices run at one sample rate at a time)
• using the Realtek ASIO driver (bad driver)
• using small buffer setting (trying to achieve low latency a small buffer setting may cause distortion)

If the Realtek ASIO driver is installed adding ASIO4All can be a problem because there are 2 ASIO "drivers" installed for the same device. If both are installed consider removing one or both of them.

When running Win10 try using the WASAPI driver modes.

Paths should be unique. In the image below, c:\program files\cakewalk\vstplugins\cakewalk sound center is redundant and should be removed. The plug-ins in that path get scanned as a result of c:\program files\cakewalk\vstplugins being in the scan path.

Need to make the track headers a little wider in the track view to account for the new WAI display.

All tracks/buses will be aligned because they will be padded with silence starting at 0.

If you prefer you can export broadcast wav clips but full tracks/buses may be easier to work with.

Very old ones - eg. the DirectX mono delay that still ships (I think) with CbB.

The last reference to a mono delay was in X2. Here are the plug-ins included with CbB.

The onboarding dialog is relatively new.

Is there any way to get around this?

Split the MIDI clip and create two step sequencer clips.

Clean install instructions

By default project templates are installed in C:\Cakewalk Content\Cakewalk Core\Project Templates

The template path used by the program is setup in preferences.
 

The bundled Sonitus Compressor and Gate also have sidechain inputs.

decent free Plutec plug-in http://www.igniteamps.com/#pteq-x

Make sure CbB is not running WASAPI Exclusive driver mode and the sample rate is the same as Windows.

Is the device in Control Surfaces? If so, all the MIDI data may be going there instead of to the tracks.

LoopBe1 gives you up to 16 channels of MIDI data coming out of JJazzLab or ChordPulse directly into CbB allowing you to make instrument assignments in CbB using regular synth plug-ins.

Once setup, CbB can record the MIDI in real time or just use it as a sound source while composing in JJazzLab or ChordPulse then export the a MIDI file to use in CbB.

If deleting everything to the right of the "end" of the project does not fix it, it may be a problem with the project template.

This has been reported once before, rebuilding the template seemed to be the only solution.

Remember tools like this do not lock you into their sounds. They can send MIDI directly to your DAW using a virtual MIDI cable such as LoopBe1.

Might be too low a buffer setting in preferences.

With SONAR X3 and older, any plug-ins bundled with 64bit SONAR may be added by running an Advanced install of a SONAR version containing the plug-ins and selecting them from the advanced install pick list.

Newer versions of 64bit SONAR did not offer an advanced install option. Instead the plug-ins were either part of the core installer or bundled in separate installers. In this case, plug-ins not part of the core installer may be installed at any time by running the appropriate installer. If a plug-in is part of the core installer, it will be necessary to re-install CbB after running the SONAR installer.

Keep in mind old DX plug-ins that were not ported to 64bit will not run in CbB.

MIDI > Devices > Outputs

Defines hardware outputs only. This includes the MS GS Wavetable Synth because it resides outside the DAW in the PC hardware.

When the DAW does not have any MIDI devices defined in preferences, opening MIDI files will be automatically setup to play with TTS-1. This and the better performance of TTS-1 over the MS GS Wavetable Synth is why I recommend deselecting it from output devices.

TTS-1 and SI Electric Piano are software plug-ins that run inside the DAW. They will never show up as MIDI hardware devices. You have already found one of several methods to add these plug-ins to a project - Insert > Soft Synth another is the add track menu. (see the "To create Instrument track" section about midway down the page).

Plug-ins may be added as needed to a project and once the project is saved, the plug-ins will be there when the project is re-opened.

It is possible to create a project template containing the synths already setup if you wish. For now, it may be a good idea to add them as needed to get familiar with the process.

To have snap always land exactly on the measure set intensity to extreme.
