Maybe ripple edit is enabled.

I do not use Win11. Both VST2 and VST3 versions of Pigment run fine in CbB on Win10. While it could be a CbB issue, given that other synths run fine in CbB, I suspect this is an issue with the plug-in versions of Pigment on Win11.

Chances are it was installed but the dll is not the CbB scan path. Open the Arturia Software Center Right-Click in the top right where the Welcome button is Select Preferences In My Preferences, Click on Folders. The plug-in dll should be installed in the VST64 folder path. Verify the plug-in is in the path. Verify the path is in the CbB plug-in scan path in Preferences > File > VST Settings.

this answers the question posed above Try the VST2 version of Pigments.

This could be because the VST2 is not installed or the VST2 is installed but "Hide Related VST2 Plug-ins" in enabled in the VST3 migration section of Preferences > File > VST Settings.

This does not matter; did you try replacing the Pigments with any other synth? This is a quick way to help troubleshoot issues with the track. Does the VST2 version of Pigments work?

Right click in the track header, select the Replace synth option, choose another plug-in and see if it works.

Is input echo enabled on the instrument/MIDI track (the button right of record in the track header)? Does the plug-in make sound when using the plug-in UI?

You may be able to get a dump by setting ExceptionHandlingSeverity to 7 in Preferences > File > Initialization File

Use the Cakewalk Installer at the bottom of this page

Yes, that was the motivation for the change.

Not since build 25.09.0.68 hotfix (2019-09). Quick grouping is disabled until a track selection is made. Documented in the release notes available here.

1. yes, in fact that is recommended so that 2. yes, the plug-ins from Platinum may be available in CbB 3. no, there is not a lot of wasted space, in fact adding CbB to a Platinum install takes up a little more than 500 MB. Are you sure the wav is not importing correctly? What leads you to that conclusion? While updating to CbB is a good idea, I doubt the import issue will be addressed by the upgrade.

Near the bottom of http://www.cakewalk.com/Documentation?product=Cakewalk&language=3&help=0x22B07 is a section about Recycle Plug-in Windows.

All of the settings in Preferences > Project are stored in projects and project templates. To create new projects with different per-project settings, modify the project templates used to create the projects. In order to prevent the templates from being overwritten, make sure to save the templates with names that do not clash with the included templates or setup a custom template folder in Preferences > File Folder Locations. CbB installers will not write to a custom template folder.

Looks like a heavy edited version of the Split Channel to Tracks CAL bundled with CbB but unlike the original script nTrk is not getting incremented along with nChannel. This seems like an important step so that each channel resides on a separate track.

To display multiple PRVs, after opening the first PRV, right-click the tab at the bottom of the PRV in the multidock and "Lock Contents". Repeat as needed.

AFAIK, Boz still includes the PC format for these plug-ins. PC modules are modified VST2 plug-ins. In fact, some PC modules actually use the same dll as the the VST2 plug-in (ex. CA-2A). It is highly unlikely BandLab is going to purchase licenses for these plug-ins and give them away with CbB. Cakewalk never did. The same goes for the paid Softube PC modules.

If you cannot find the PC2ALevelingAmplifier_64.dll in a backup, you will need a full CbB installers to get the file back. AFAIK, unless the plug-in is modified, the dll is not part of an update installer. If you do not have a full CbB installer for 2021.04 or newer, you will need to perform a simple uninstall/reinstall or rollback to 2021.11 and update to 2022.02 (the full installer is downloaded when updating from 2 releases or older).

The Mix workspace hides the channel drop down in instrument and MIDI track headers. To see the drop down either change to a workspace that displays the control, create a custom workspace or set workspaces to None. The channel drop down (betweem B and C in the image below) is always available in the track inspector.

Are you saying the file name entry in the Export dialog does not work?

The +10 dB PC plug-ins are still available. They were never free but are paid plug-ins from Boz Digital. Both the +10 dB and Hozer XT bundles regularly go on sale. Currently both bundles may be had for $59.

The default path for the PC2A is "C:\Program Files\Cakewalk\Shared Utilities\Internal\PC2ALevelingAmplifier". This folder should contain the dll, chm and a resources folder. If the files are there, try running a VST reset from preferences. Make sure "Generate Scan Log" is enabled. If the plug-in fails to appear after the reset review the scan log for information about the plug-in. May need to reinstall the MS runtime libraries. See
