Try toggling the 64bit Double Precision Engine in preferences If that does not make a difference, bypass all plug-ins either with the FX button in the mix module or the shortcut "E" If the problem goes away, it is related to one or more plug-ins. To narrow it down, enable all plug-ins using the FX button or "E" and bypass individual FX Racks.

Two possible causes - waiting for the audio interface or waiting for a plug-in to shutdown, often a 32bit plug-in running in Bitbridge.

By default, Cakewalk installs audio loops in folders under C:\Cakewalk Content\Audio Library but third party loops may not follow the Cakewalk default. It really does not matter where they are installed.

Could use the Matrix View to loop the original 8 bar clip then while the Matrix View is playing the original clip record on another track. Here is one way to do it... Assume the original 8 bar clip is on track one. Make sure CbB will loop the clip as expected. To do this, turn the clip into a groove clip by selecting it and typing CTRL+L. The clip should completely fill all 8 bars. If it does not, open the clip into the Loop Construction View and adjust the beat count until the clip fills all 8 bars. May want to rename the clip in clip properties and drag it to the browser saving it for future use. Create a new audio track (track two) Open the Matrix View Drag the clip from track one into cell(1,1) in the Matrix View, set the row to play on track two and set Follow Transport on. Click on the clip in the cell. The clip should be flashing. Archive track one Create a new audio track for the new solo and set the track up for recording Start recording The 8 bar clip in the Matrix View should play as long as the transport is running.

Have to go back to the last SONAR documentation for this info

This message is displayed when opening a project created with a version of SONAR prior to X1 that offered per track EQ. The EQ used to implement per track EQ prior to X1 was the Sonitus EQ. The message is displayed in order to provide an opportunity to replace the per track EQ in the project with the ProChannel Quad Curve EQ.

R-Mix is not a Region FX, it is a regular VST2 plug-ins. Maybe you are confusing it with V-Vocal which does appear in Region FX. If R-Mix installed in the 32bit plug-in path, you may have installed the 32bit version. Feel free to uninstall X2 and re-install the 64bit version. By default, 64bit R-Mix installs in C:\Program Files\Cakewalk\Vstplugins\R-Mix SONAR Edition

When making an announcement like this please include the name of the software and the release. AFAIK, the current version are: BA - 5.0.4 from Jan 25 CbB - 2019.01 (25.01.0.27) from Jan 23

no Use "Replace Synth" after the MIDI file is loaded. The Replace Synth function is on the track header context menu and the synth rack synth settings menu.

This depends on the Stop At Project End setting. Because I often need to run the transport without any clips in a project, I leave this option unchecked.

According to the details for C:\Program Files\Cakewalk\Shared DXi\Pentagon I\Pentagon I.dll, version 1.5.0.0 was bundled with X3. Not sure what was bundled with SONAR 8. Version 1.5.0.0 loads OK in CbB 2019.01 on my Win10 PC.

If installed following the instructions above, V-Vocal should appear as a Region FX in CbB. Pentagon I is the only plug-in bundled with SONAR X series requiring administrator access to the registry. This may be done by either running the DAW as administrator or modifying the registry as shown in this post. Allowing for the permissions issue should Pentagon fail to load the problem is system specific.

https://www.cakewalk.com/Support/Knowledge-Base/2007013086/Using-Pentagon-I-as-a-Vocoder Usually Pentagon I requires the DAW to be run as administrator unless the registry has been modified. See this post for details. Pentagon I is a 64bit DXi plug-in (of course, there is a 32bit version too). Pentagon I was bundled with SONAR Producer 5 through X3.

Set this drop down to All Keyboard shortcuts are SHIFT+left and right arrow keys

Note the dates on the assets files. These files are part of Gobbler integration in X3. There is a preference setting to suppress creating them in X3. The feature was only in X3. Since Gobbler changed it service years ago, the assets files serve no purpose and may be deleted.

The two programs look similar. That familiarity is a good thing when trying to learn a new version. That said, there have been quite a few bug fixes, enhancements and new features in the years since X3. Whether they are meaningful to you depends on your workflow and if you choose to take advantage of the changes since X3. Here are the SONAR and CbB update notifications. For the most part, it is possible to ignore all the changes since X3 and use CbB just like the 6 year old SONAR X3.

Which version of CbB are you using? Do you use lenses?

If you did not create a single sign on in 2014 or forgot your SSO ID, email support@cakewalk.com. They may be able to help. Of course, all the products you mention were delivered on physical media so all you may be missing are registration codes. All the upgrades for those products are still available in the knowledge base.

Great. Please make sure to click the check mark next to post that provides the answer to your question. This way others may benefit from this thread. Thanks.

So, the internal chip is set as the Windows default and the sample rate for Windows is set to 44.1k. After verifying the sample rate in Windows using Windows Settings > Sound > Device Properties Advanced tab. Remove or rename Aud.ini in the %appdata%\Cakewalk Core\Cakewalk\Cakewalk Core folder Then follow these directions https://www.cakewalk.com/Support/Knowledge-Base/Audio-Hardware-Setup-Guide?productId=CSPT100&audioDeviceId=135 If MME driver mode works, then try the other modes selecting the one that performs best for your machine.

Make sure some other media player makes sound. Make sure Windows and Cakewalk are set to the same sample rate.

I am not aware of any demo projects specifically designed for Cakewalk by BandLab. Could provide a link to the project giving you trouble? It might be helpful for others to look at the project before making suggestions. Other than load and try to run this project, have you tried more simple tests such as creating a project, add an audio clip to it and try to play the project?

The setting is in preferences. CbB must be run as administrator to change this settings.

No, Beatscape was dropped starting with X2. Like the "Loops and One Shots" installer, the synth has nothing to do with Platinum. I just checked the Command Center and my account, the loop libraries are gone. IIRC, they were removed during the shutdown in 2017. support@cakewalk.com may be able to help.
