This is unusual. CbB opens project files created by Cakewalk DAWs much older than SONAR 7.

This is due to the workspace setting. Either create a new custom workspace with "Control Bar Layout" deselected in "Load from Workspace" or set workspace to None.

I am glad you found a solution. FWIW, this is an old thread and there is a much easier method today. Unlike BandLab Assistant, the Cakewalk Web Installer does not keep track of previously installed add-ons. It will permit re-install without editing the registry.

Some Dell computers run a program called “Dell SupportAssist Remediation” which has been identified as a resource thief. See

BandLab Technologies makes 2 DAWs BandLab - a web-based DAW Cakewalk by BandLab - a Windows program based on SONAR There is an early access version of new installer for Cakewalk by BandLab. For many it works better than BandLab Assistant.

It is not a dead spot; the mouse wheel scrolls the FX racks. Add a bunch of FX to the Rack and see what happens.

?Synth Stack 2 is $21.99 for me. A very inexpensive way to get Quadra! ? yep, that is the best price for Quandra and part of the motivation for my original post

And for those still using Pendulate, the free plug-in based on Generate, it too has been updated. Updates to Pendulate are distributed just like the initial release. Use this page to get the latest version.

Cherry Audio Synth Stack 2 - is every synth they make. Keep in mind, the Cherry Audio store discount this bundle based on the products already purchased. Something resellers don't do ATM.

Noel's post discusses how to create a "hang dump"

May want to review the Improved plug-in exception handling / crash reporting section in http://www.cakewalk.com/Documentation?product=Cakewalk&language=3&help=NewFeatures.024.html

Because the AD2 uses a combination of stereo and mono outs, the best solution is a track template. Whether using per-output instrument tracks or midi+audio tracks both require some tinkering to get the layout right. Not much reason to break out the MIDI data into separate tracks. I wrote an instrument definition file for AD2

No problem adding to a cart, "buying" and downloading all BlueLab plug-ins using Edge just now.

The dialog defaults to showing every time a synth is added but the option may be disabled. To re-enable the dialog, open the synth rack view and open the Insert Soft Synth Options dialog, "E" in the image below and enable "Ask This Every Time" in the dialog bottom left To open the synth rack view, use the main menu View > Synth Rack View or keyboard shortcut ALT+9

When using the Add Track menu - Instrument tab open the advanced options and select Instrument Track Per Output, "J" in the image below For more control over the number and type of tracks added with the plug-in use one of the other methods for inserting instruments dragging the plug-in from the browser to the project, Insert > Soft Synth... from the main menu or the + in the synth rack top left These methods open Insert Soft Synth Options dialog. One can always add additional tracks after inserting the synth too. Here is a post with video adding a second audio track for Session Drummer or right-click on the instrument track and select Append Instrument Track from the context menu or append instrument tracks from the synth strip in the synth rack view.

The scanner attempts to load all files with a dll extension unless they are in the default vst3 folder. The scanner attempts to load all files with a vst3 extension too. In the default vst3 folder files with a dll extention are ignored. They are considered support files. This is why it is important not to add folders containing random dlls to the scan path. It is common to have support files in the scan path too. This includes pdfs. Those files are ignored.

Edge looked that way until I made the change noted in the post I linked. This is what my post looks like in my browser Note: this image is on imgur.com. All the images in this thread are visible in my browser. All but mine appear to be uploaded to this forum.

Check the takes lanes for the track

The images are not broken. They are on the Cakewalk static server. See this post about images in from this server

They have always been that way. Here is the feature request area of the forum.

Could use MFX Transpose instead of dealing with the Transpose dialog spinner control. The plug-in works either non-destructively in FX bins or destructively using the clip context menu. Or directly enter values in the Transpose dialog

It is a per-project setting. Change the project templates and new projects will be set by default. If using factory project templates in the default folder, make sure to save the templates under different names or they may get overwritten with an update or use a custom project template folder.

Click the keyboard icon in the top left to open the context menu with the docking options

There are a lot of new features in CbB. Since there is nothing equivalent in Platinum these features are at their default settings. In this case, I am guessing the are Waveform outlines introduced in 2021.04. Read about them here.
