Your choice. The name field is not critical to BandLab. Username and email are. I left the username at the default.

Why not use your forum name in the BandLab account?

Any plug-in that scans as a synth must be associated with an audio track even if it is incapable of generating audio data (ex. sequencers). Most also use a MIDI track to receive MIDI data. An instrument track is a wrapper around an audio+MIDI track pair.

WRT the name change issue, I found this thread in the FAQ section

This forum is moderated just like the old forum. Most of the old forum mods are mods in this forum along with a couple of additions when this forum was started. I delete a lot of threads marked for deletion. The name change thing is something running in the background. I have no idea what triggers it.

To bounce multiple tracks into one use a bus (Master is already setup on these tracks) or the entire mix as the source.

There may be entries in the Windows Event log that may be helpful.

Clean up the registry. Here are the instructions for a clean install. After removing everything, consider using the Cakewalk Web Installer rather than BandLab Assistant to install the DAW and add-ons.

Review the signal flow diagram Hardware audio inputs are after the gain control and Audio clips are before the gain control.

An instrument track is not an audio track. How does an audio track record MIDI data? An instrument track is a presentation layer above an audio+MIDI track pair. IOW, an instrument track is not a basic track type. It is neither an audio nor a MIDI track. It is a term used to describe a wrapper around a pair of tracks. Splitting an instrument track removes the instrument track wrapper to reveal the audio and MIDI tracks that make up the instrument track.

Yes Test it for yourself using Save As or Save Copy As with "Copy all audio with project" enabled.

I am not sure bundles corrupt at a rate higher than any other large riff files however, when they get corrupted the project is lost. One can recover the audio, but it is a real PITA. The bundling process does not compress the data. It just concatenates the project file with the audio clips. I have not used bundles much since per-project audio folders were introduced 17 years ago.

The Legal button should show this

It would not be in Program Files. It starts out in C:\ProgramData\Cakewalk\Cakewalk Core\XSRoboto-Regular.ttf and is copied to the CbB user folder. So, yes there should be a copy of the file in

Cakewalk_by_BandLab_Setup_27.11.0.018.exe is a ~560MB full installer. Try running this installer as administrator.

yes Are you using BandLab Assistant or the Cakewalk Web Installer?

Is the 177KB C:\ProgramData\Cakewalk\Cakewalk Core\XSRoboto-Regular.ttf installed?

Seems the audio image files got corrupted. Select the clips Right click in the track pane Select Associated Audio Files... at the bottom of the menu In the Associated Audio Files dialog, click Recompute Picture(s)

Try the Cakewalk Web Installer

Only Noel can answer this definitively, but my assumption would be that from the engine's perspective a frozen track appears identical to any other audio track. The only difference is that the original track is preserved and linked to in the frozen track. That linkage should not impact performance, as it's only referenced when you un-freeze. Freezing makes the track work just like an audio track. Freezing a synth track, unlike bounce+archive, disconnects the synth, unloading it from memory. Of course, it is possible to manually disconnect synths using the synth rack menu or the power buttons next to each synth in the synth rack view when the view is in the multi-dock or undocked.

An image of the large Snap Module may provide a clue. The medium Snap Module does not show the Snap To/By switch setting

Sure, install the current version using either the Cakewalk Web Installer or BandLab Assistant.
