When a plug-ins has an installer, it is best to run the installer.

This will insure the plug-in, its supporting files and registry entries are correct.

I found the registry entries in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cakewalk Music Software\SessionDrummer3

There is no space between Drummer and 3

The default Content Folder entry is C:\Program Files\Cakewalk\Vstplugins\Session Drummer 3

This entry causes the plug-in to look into C:\Program Files\Cakewalk\VstPlugins\Session Drummer 3\Contents

The default Resources Folder is C:\Program Files\Cakewalk\Vstplugins\Session Drummer 3\Resources

Workspaces are global. They are stored in %appdata%\Cakewalk\Cakewalk Core\Lenses

Screensets are stored in project  and project template files.

That's how it's done.

But work safe until you are sure about what you are doing. Move the folder to a different location.

Usually a project folder contains:

• one or more related project files
• an Auto-save copy of each project (if auto save is enabled)
• versions of the projects (if versioning is enabled)
• an Audio folder containing the project audio
• a Melodyne folder containing RFX Melodyne data
• a MixScenes folder containing mix recall files

The project will still show up in the Start Screen and recent file list until it gets bumped off the lists.

Cakewalk does not have a delete project function.

It is pretty easy to use the OS to delete projects as long as they are created one per-folder.

Use paste special with only Track/Bus automation enabled

OK, I spot checked playback from Platinum 2016-12 through current and it works the same.

It appears that playback does merge stereo signals to mono, record does not. I have filed a bug report for this.

Currently to get playback split takes two sends, one panned hard left and the other panned hard right. This will not merge the channels on playback.

Rather than mess with patch points, I would use bounce to trackss) on the original track to create mono tracks or record the two channels as mono tracks from the start.

After creating a track with two completely different sounds on each channel

I changed the track output to a patch point

Added new tracks w/ with one with input set to left patch point, the other with right patch point

Recorded the new tracks.

Each track recorded the appropriate channel from the original track.

Here is an image of the result of recording the mono patch points into two new tracks.

Verify the track interleave (the button just above E in the image below) on tracks "Left" and "Right" are set to mono

ProjectOpenNotification.txt file goes in %APPDATA%\Cakewalk\Cakewalk Core

Note: the file is not part of the default installation. The default notifications are built into the program. Create the file for custom notifications.

The default sample rate for new projects is set to 8000. Is this intentional?

If not try setting it to the same sample rate as Windows audio.

Generally this should be at least 44100.

Email service for the old Cakewalk servers was shutdown when Gibson closed the company.

Password reset must be performed by support@cakewalk.com

looks like an issue for support@bandlab.com

Click the Reset button in VST preferences

Seems to work OK here

Prior to release 2019.09 it was possible to quick group all tracks without selecting them. This is no longer available.

Effective with 2019.09 quick groups only work with an active track selection.

I was unable to increase the buffer size (it was greyed out) .

This is normal.

WASAPI Shared buffer size is fixed.

All the other driver modes have an adjustable buffer size. Depending on the manufacturer some ASIO drivers also have the slider disabled so their buffer size must be adjusted with the software supplied by the manufacturer.

Assuming the plug-ins are in the scan path, run a VST reset from preferences with the scan log enabled. If the plug-ins do not show up, review the log.

It has nothing to do with CbB.

I searched for "instant replay" and found an instant replay mode in software bundled with NVidea cards. Is is possible this is installed?

if you could see all the plugins from one track / buss in a tab for example with all controls accessible from one place.

It is almost there if one converts an FX Rack to an FX Chain and docks the FX Chain.

This places all the plug-ins for a track/bus into a single tab. The effects are displayed at the bottom of the FX chain. From there one can open the plug-in UIs, reorder, add or delete plug-ins.

Check the tempo view. There may be more tempo settings than expected in the project.

Noel has recommended running scan from preferences over the PIM for years.

The new sandbox and log options are not supported in the PIM.

In the past scanning a plug-in could corrupt memory affecting plug-ins scanned after it resulting in messages like the those described in this thread. Scanning with the sandbox option prevents one plug-in's scan from affecting others.

For now, instead of using Windows minimize try docking plug-ins in Multidock.

Docked effects have a tab with the plug-in name and track hosting the plug-in.

Docked synths have a tab using the name from the synth rack.

For now either create a category at the top of the Sort by Category layout or create a custom layout with a favorites section to hold your most used plug-ins.

There are no Win10 drivers for the VS-700 but here are instructions on using the Win8 drivers on Win10
