Audio guitar track not responding to Guitar Rig 5 pro.
scook replied to Gerry 1943's topic in Cakewalk by BandLab
Keyboard shortcut "E" bypasses all FX Racks. -
It is possible today. I wrote a utility called Tools Editor to make it easier to add any program including audio editors (and almost anything else including pdf and html documents) to the tools section of the CbB utility menu. It is available on my google page. Help is built into the program and there is a readme pdf with illustrations including the setup for adding a version of SoundForge. Once added to the tools menu, to edit a clip, select a clip and launch the audio editor from the menu. Not sure if Audacity will work as an audio editor though. For a program to work, it must be able to take a wav file as a command line argument. That is how CbB (and many other DAWs) send files to external editors. There are quite a few free and paid editors that do take wav files on their command line.

Yes it is possible to uninstall but since there is not enough information in these posts to determine the cause of the crashes, it would be best to work with support. If they feel a re-install is needed they will suggest it.

Dotted lines around plugs in the FX bin..

VST3 support was added to SONAR X3. Versions older than X3 do not support VST3 plug-ins. -
Spiking CPU Core Despite Load Balancing Active
scook replied to Neil Cummins's topic in Cakewalk by BandLab
Also, keep in mind, even with the load balancing option enabled, it may not be used if the latency is set below MinPluginLoadBalancingBufferSamples in AUD.ini. The help goes into some detail about when load balancing is useful. -
Dumps sent from inside the program go nowhere. The Cakewalk server that collected dump files was shutdown in Nov. 2017. BandLab does not have an automated process to collect dump files. The current process relies on the user uploading the files not the program Here are the plug-ins included in CbB. BandLab recommends that those who own Platinum leave it installed when installing CbB. This way CbB can take advantage of the plug-ins bundled with Platinum.

Xpand!2 in Cakewalk with pad controller?
scook replied to SynthManDan's topic in Instruments & Effects
Record a little using both the M-Audio Hammer-88 and Akai MPX8 Then open the Event List View and compare the data This may help show the difference between the MIDI sent by the two controllers -
Yes, the drum replacer works with audio to replace/reinforce the existing audio or extract MIDI data.
-
There is no reason to use the drum replacer when working with MIDI drum data. Use the cymbal MIDI data to drive a different synth. Either break out the MIDI data to a different track or use a Drum map to drive AD and what ever is playing the cymbal samples.

Why does only one of each pair of outputs show in preferences?
scook replied to Dave Maffris's topic in Cakewalk by BandLab
Cakewalk lists what the driver reports. -
Audient iD 14 Not Showing In Device Manager
scook replied to bayoubill's topic in Cakewalk by BandLab
If the interface works outside of Platinum, try renaming %appdata%\Cakewalk\SONAR Platinum\AUD,ini and starting SONAR -

Ask Jim again and write down the solution -
VST scan doesnt find STL Tonality plug in
scook replied to RICHARD HUTCHINS's topic in Instruments & Effects
Yes, it does make sense. Thanks for coming back and adding the resolution. Glad it is working for you now. -
Sounds like an activation issue. This is the type of behavior the plug-in shows when trying to run the version bundled with Samplitude. Although that version is locked to Samplitude, it passes the CbB scanner OK but crashes the DAW when loading it into a project.

There is only one preference setting to toggle the Start Screen. If Show Start Screen is enabled, the start screen should launch regardless of the On Startup Load the Default Template setting. When the start screen is running there should be three entries "Cakewalk Start Screen" under "Cakewalk Applications" in the Windows Task Manager. To the OP, it might be interesting to see what support@cakewalk.com has to say about this problem. I have never had any trouble with the program launching but one thing to try is Shutdown CbB Make sure no Cakewalk processes are running in the Window Task Manager Rename the %AppData%\Cakewalk\Cakewalk Core\StartPageCache Start CbB The start screen will recreate the StartPageCache. If the problem was a corrupted cache, this should fix the problem. While waiting for a resolution, you could try Cakewalk Launchpad. It can serve as a start screen replacement albeit not as tightly integrated as the CbB start screen. The program is available on my Google page.

The Cakewalk Command Center required installers written for the application. The Command Center was rolled out in 2015 along with SONAR Artist/Professional/Platinum. Only a few products released prior to 2015 had installers updated for the Command Center. Z3ta+2 and CA-2A were two of them. DAWs released prior to 2015 were not updated. All products with downloadable installers including the ones that show up in the Command Center should be in your old Cakewalk account.

Try increasing the Playback using nnn Millisecond Buffers setting in preferences from 250 to 500 or 750. Some use much larger values. If that does not fix the problem consider supplying more information such as Hardware details - PC and Audio interface Software details - OS and DAW version info MIDI - whether using a third party MIDI file or entered manually.

Crackling using 32-bit VSTs (BitBridge)
scook replied to Sylvain Martel's topic in Cakewalk by BandLab
Cakewalk bought the source code for Bitbridge. That said, there is a limit to how much time a company can/should spend supporting third party software, in this case 32bit plug-ins, that the manufacturer no longer supports. Bridges were not intended to permanently extend the life of 32bit plug-ins. The main purpose was to allow manufacturers and users time to transition to 64bit. Continued reliance on a few pieces of software that are no longer maintained or supported while updating everything else is not a recipe for success. -
This did not happen unless you manually sent the dump to BandLab support. There has been no automatic process since Nov 2017. Sometimes, it is helpful to know if a factory DP preset was used and if so, the name of the preset.

I prefer Drum Maps with the Drum Grid Pane instead of the step sequencer for drum programming.
-
One way to have all instances of the step sequencer load a custom set of rows is route the MIDI output to a drum map. Alternately copy/paste/unlink the clip to create a second instance with the same row setup then clear the pattern or Save an empty pattern with the step sequencer setup as desired then load the pattern after creating the new clip. This is sometimes referred to as a step sequencer template. A difference between using a drum map and step sequencer templates is drum maps affect the whole track, step sequencer templates affect one instance of the step sequencer.

Yes, the re-save should be a one time event for each project. At least, there is a process to move forward without losing data. Since you are saving them under a different name, it is possible that BandLab may benefit from seeing one of the failing project files. They may be able to address what ever is causing the problem.

The synth rack is a separate view and may be added to the project at any time from the view menu or keyboard shortcut ALT+9. When I open projects in safe mode, the browser is not displayed, keyboard shortcut B will toggle the browser display. Save the project under a different name (you can save it in the same folder if you wish) and see if it will open without running in safe mode.
