Assuming input echo is enabled on the audio tracks, it seems everything has been verified except audio from the interface to the PC. Does the interface have a software mixer? It may help to know what audio interface is in use.

Skip installing the add-ons if you wish. They may be added at any time. Since you are have the Melodyne 4.1 installer there will never be a need to to mess with the one bundled with CbB. No news from Celemony.

None means what it always has, no MIDI input selected. The problem some run into is the interaction of input selection and input echo. When an instrument/MIDI track input is set to None and input echo is enabled the DAW, in order to echo something, changes the input to All Inputs > MIDI Omni. Once the input is changed it will not automatically revert back to NONE when input echo is turned off. This is why some prefer to take complete manual control of input echo by disabling Always Echo Current MIDI Track in preferences. By default any synth capable of sending MIDI data has "Enable MIDI Output" turned on. There are a few places where the "Enable Synth Output" option may be viewed and edited: The insert synth options dialog The VST2/3 drop down in the standard header (see the "To enable VST MIDI input and output ports" section near the bottom of the page And in the synth rack where the option is available from the synth settings menu and the context menu for each synth found by right-clicking the synth in the rack. WRT the second issue. By default, the PRV displays all notes whether they have been muted or not. There is an option to hide muted clips in the PRV View menu but muted take lanes will appear regardless of this option. The fact the the drum MIDI data was muted at some point suggest that the kick may still be muted which may not be obvious by inspecting the data in the PRV.

Importing MIDI into CbB strips tempo information. Imported MIDI data follows the project's tempo map. Opening MIDI files in CbB preserves tempo data.

Sounds like the OS or graphics driver needs an update.

A driver issue is a good candidate. Cakewalk may appear to be shutdown because the UI is closed but the program is probably still running and waiting on a reply from a driver. The program should still be visible in the Task Manager.

Yeah, if running Melodyne 4.2, the first thing to try is rollback to 4.1. If you do not have the 4.1 installer, contact Celemony support. They have been good about supplying the old installer.

When the start screen was first released, I did not care for it so, I wrote a replacement. Mostly still use it instead of the start screen.

You are correct. The setting was moved to a new location. It was pretty late last night when I first replied and only compared the SONAR preference page referenced in the OP to the current CbB page.

Correct. The option you refer to is the one I linked in my post and it affects the Start Screen. The splash screen does not have a preference setting. AFAIK, it never has. There are some who rename or hack the Splash.dib to suit their needs but this is not recommended. Splash.dib in in the same folder as the executable, just like SONAR.

The option is no longer in CbB. While I would not exploit the following... In SONAR Platinum when Show Start Screen was unchecked in preferences. ShowStartPage was set to 0 in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Cakewalk Music Software\SONAR\Platinum adding a REG_DWORD ShowStartPage set to 0 in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Cakewalk Music Software\Cakewalk\Core still works like Platinum. The option was moved, see

See Recycle Plug-in Windows in preferences

Don't think so. There were quite a few threads when the feature came out and like this one, Noel posted the solution All, I did was reword his instructions and add a screen capture.

Did you read my PM to you?

It is a 32bit plug-in. I won't install it. Have you tried the 64bit 5 band Sonitus Multiband bundled with CbB?

Your problem may be different, I sent you a PM.

It is a little too subtle. I sent Jesse a PM suggesting he add a post the thread so that it stands out a little more. Usually when a hot fix comes along some one in one of the problem threads posts about the fix. Has yet to happen for this fix.

no

Not sure about this I have no problems running X2a, X3e, several versions of Platinum and CbB on the same machine. What they all have in common are the shared utilities including the scanner. That said, there are a lot of PC setup permutations. Most are sufficiently similar to run relatively trouble free but there are exceptions. Often a hang on startup is a driver problem or a hidden windows dialog. The most recent thread on CbB hanging is here but your problem seems to be happening before this message.

The value is stored in VSTScanScheduling under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Cakewalk Music Software\Cakewalk\Core The default value for VSTScanScheduling is 0 for "Automatic Background Scan"

IDK, just ran the XLN installer and it did not update anything. The last modified date for the XLN installer on my system is 13 Feb 2019 5:29AM, file version 2.1.0.0, product version 2.1.0. I do not have the United Pop Pak.

Rapture Session should have activated if installed using the Command Center. I am not sure if the remote activation process still works - the process is described here but the best bet is reinstalling using the Command Center.

Plug-ins signal the host when they have been changed, otherwise; the host would not know about the changes. The change could be a user action or something automatic in the plug-in. The host has no idea what caused the plug-in to send the signal. This information is used to set the project dirty flag and trigger auto-saves.

Here is how a just applied a mix scene from one project to another: Open the project that needs the mix scene(s) Using the media browser navigate to the MixScenes folder in the project that has the mix scenes stored in it Drag and drop the mix scene file(s) into the project When adding multiple mix scenes use the "Save As A New Scene" between each one to save them in the new project. The names of mix scenes and the relationship to the numbered mix scene files are stored in the project. The file names on disk are the project name and a sequential counter. This is done to prevent name collisions between multiple projects stored in the same folder. If there are a lot of mix scenes to choose from and you only want a particular one, re-save it as a new scene in the donor project and the scene will be the one with the highest number the project's MixScenes folder. In the video below, on the left is the project that needs the scene. Its media browser is already open to the source project's Mixscenes folder. On the right is the source project. The video shows creating a new mix scene "Mix4" in the source project and dragging the mix scene file "Empty-Mix(4).cwm" from the browser into the other project. Note: While all the mix scene data was transferred, the order of the automation lanes may not be preserved.
