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

Nomad Factory Blue Tubes or Blue Cat? The Nomad Factory Blue Tubes Bundle is in the Studio Mixing FX Suite under SONAR Platinum in the Cakewalk Command Center. Go to the Blue Cat website for their software.

In April 2017 patent royalties associated with mp3 encoding expired. CbB has always included an mp3 encoder.

By default, CbB sends MIDI data, as is, to the plug-in. Channel is a note property. It is possible to force the channel assignment in all the notes at the track level using the Channel drop down as show in the image above. There are a couple of ways to change the channel assignment for some notes in a track. Here is one, make sure the Channel drop down in the track is set to None select the notes to change set the channel in the Event Inspector

Yes, Dimension Pro and Rapture Classic are separate full installers. Most legacy Cakewalk plug-ins may be installed without installing the DAW, but it is impossible to install all the bundled plug-ins with SONAR without installing Platinum and a version containing V-Vocal. Legacy Cakewalk DAWs and CbB run fine on the same machine at least through Win10. I have not tested Win11. Regardless of the OS, there is nothing in a properly installed series of Cakewalk DAWs and CbB that can affect the stability of CbB . Nothing has changed since

Just like Cakewalk before it, BandLab does not publish their release schedule. A week or so before the official release they post an Early Access version here https://discuss.cakewalk.com/index.php?/forum/36-early-access-program/ For a long time now, a rollback installer to the previous production release is provided in the official release threads posted here https://discuss.cakewalk.com/index.php?/forum/33-product-release-info/

@OrvilleI am just glad to see someone from Eventide on this forum. The deals forum is https://discuss.cakewalk.com/index.php?/forum/34-deals/ AFAIK, every Eventide sale already gets posted in the deals forum. This is the post for the current sale

Presets stored using the Cakewalk Preset Manager are written to the registry. The Cakewalk Plug-in Manager provides tools to import, export and manage these presets.

I do not have the plug-in but every vocoder plug-in I have whether it scans as an FX or synth gets setup the same in CbB. Place the plug-in in the audio FX rack of the track to be modified Verify "Enable MIDI Input" is selected in the VST2/3 drop down above the plug-in UI. In the case of Waves, this should be the VST3 format plug-in. Add a MIDI track with its output set to the vocoder plug-in, its input set to your controller and input echo enabled (this may be disabled when MIDI data is in the track).

Time spent learning AutoHotkey can save a lot of time and keystrokes in the long run.

Inline PRV

This function toggles display of the ProChannel in the console view not the Inspector. CTRL+i toggles PC display in the inspector.

I don't believe so. Not all functions are exposed for (re)mapping. That said, AutoHotkey or something similar is a skill worth picking up. For example, here is the AutoHotkey script that maps the (currently unbound) F2 function key to CTRL+i in CbB (and only CbB) When CbB has focus, press the F2 key and CbB receives CTRL+i.

The short answer is No. There is no way to alter the default track to either preload PC settings or swap it for a track template in CbB. I created a shortcut using AutoHotkey to load a specific track template, in this example, a template for guitar. The script, bound Windows+Space, opens the template import dialog then navigates to my custom template folder then loads the guitar track template.

To clear the Recent File List in CbB (which also clears the Start Screen) from the Windows command line enter reg delete "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Cakewalk Music Software\Cakewalk\Core\Recent File List" /va Store in a bat or cmd file for reuse. Or for those familiar with AutoHotkey, I wrote a simple script with a GUI to perform the same task but never bothered to port it to CbB. The script is in this thread on the old forum. Here is the original code for SONAR Platinum bound to the shortcut Windows+R #r:: ;HKCU path, modify for your version of SONAR recentFileList := "Software\Cakewalk Music Software\SONAR\Platinum\Recent File List" varCount = 0 ; count of registry entries with data totalCount = 1 ; total count of registry entries Gui, New, , SONAR Recently Used List Gui, Add, Text, , Check items to delete then click OK ; loop to create check list of projects from registry Recent File List Loop, Reg, HKEY_CURRENT_USER\%recentFileList%, V { RegRead, value If ErrorLevel { MsgBox, 16, Error, Unable to read %A_LoopRegName% Goto GuiClose } ; only show checkboxes for keys with data if value { Array%A_Index% := value Gui, Add, Checkbox, vFile%A_Index%, %value% varCount += 1 } totalCount += 1 } Gui, Add, Button, w60 default xm Section, OK Gui, Add, Button, x+80 ys w60, &Cancel Gui, Show Return ButtonOK: Gui, Submit Gui, Cancel keyCount = 1 ; used to create registry keys ; loop to write out unchecked projects Loop, %varCount% { variable := File%A_Index% ; checkbox variables element := Array%A_Index% ; registry string values IfEqual, variable, 0 { RegWrite, REG_SZ, HKEY_CURRENT_USER, %recentFileList%, File%keyCount%, %element% keyCount += 1 } } ; loop to delete extra keys While keyCount < totalCount { RegDelete, HKEY_CURRENT_USER, %recentFileList%, File%keyCount% keyCount += 1 } ButtonCancel: GuiClose: GuiEscape: Gui, Destroy ExitApp It looks like this At a minimum, for CbB change recentFileList := "Software\Cakewalk Music Software\SONAR\Platinum\Recent File List" to recentFileList :="Software\Cakewalk Music Software\Cakewalk\Core\Recent File List"

Most drum synths do not implement the appropriate VST2 opcode to display instrument names. AFAIK, only BFD, Session Drummer 2/3 and Sitala implement this. I built an instrument definition file for SI-Drums see this thread. This may be used to display instrument names in the label pane left of the note pane in the PRV.

Chances are the plug-in UI has cell H selected and the cell below it (the infinity symbol means loop forever) also selected in the Drumkit view. At a minimum, deselect the infinity symbol.

Copy and paste should always work. If the prompts are not in a separate window, click the keyboard in the upper right on the standard header above the plug-in UI.

Try File > Export > Audio and select one of the Tracks presets in the Export Audio dialog then select the track to export from sources and click the export button. This will create and export one consolidated clip from all the clips in the track. Duplicating a track does not consolidate clips. What gets duplicated depends on how the Duplicate Track Settings dialog is configured. To copy clip(s) from one track to another and have the clips land at the same point on the timeline, select the clips then CTRL+SHIFT+drag the clips to the new track or to the empty space below the last track to create a new track with the data copied into it.
