Cakewalk.com is the old company website. The server is in read-only mode and made available as a service to customers who purchased Cakewalk products. It has been that way since the BandLab purchase in 2018 and created this forum. All the information I provided about support is from this forum. The links are from the Frequently Ask Questions area. There is also a link to support under Help on the CbB main menu

Once "Enable MIDI Input" is selected, the first step in my post above, the plug-in is added to all MIDI track output drop downs. Similar to how selecting "Enable MIDI Output" adds a plug-in to MIDI input drop downs.

There is no need to ever configure an FX as a synth. This option goes back a long way but has not been necessary since 2013. All that effectively does is automatically turn on "Enable MIDI Input" at the cost of removing the FX from the FX plug-in layouts and adding the plug-in to the synth layouts.

If there is no dump in %appdata%\Cakewalk\Cakewalk Core\MiniDumps try setting ExceptionHandlingSeverity to 7 in Preferences > File > Initialization File For more info about the setting see the Improved plug-in exception handling / crash reporting section of http://www.cakewalk.com/Documentation?product=Cakewalk&language=3&help=NewFeatures.024.html If a dump gets created see this reply in your other thread

I do not have the plug-in or hardware to test. To control any FX plug-in that accepts MIDI input. the plug-in requires Enable MIDI Input selected in the VST drop down in the standard header above the plug-in UI. A MIDI track with its input set to the device sending the MIDI data, its output set to the plug-in and input echo enabled. The plug-in may require some configuration too, such as mapping the incoming controller data to functions in the plug-in. Note: Soft synth have "Enable MIDI Input" selected by default, effects do not. Effects that cannot use MIDI data have "Enable MIDI Input" disabled.

This is just plain wrong. There is only one type of instrument track. It is a presentation of an audio+MIDI track pair. The inspector for an instrument track has two tabs. One for the audio track and one for the MIDI track that make up the instrument track. The video does not show It shows opening the MIDI tab in the instrument track inspector. The audio tab has the same FX rack that is shown in the Track View. The MIDI tab has the MIDI FX rack for the instrument track, however; it is not shown in the Track View. This is what the OP claims he meant by In the Track View, instrument tracks also hide the MIDI output so the MIDI inspector tab is handy when adding a drum map to an instrument track.

They are the full installer for 2020-11 and the update installer for 2021-01. Anything from BandLab in the downloads folder may be deleted. I like to copy them somewhere just in case, especially the full installers.

It appears the channel strip 2 and bus compressor have been updated to 1.0.55 SSL 360 is now at 1.2.15.48615

Both audio and MIDI fx racks are accessible in the inspector

review the driver mode and audio devices settings in preferences If running Win10 try the WASAPI driver modes.

The first thing I would try is force CbB to run the onboarding wizard. To do this edit the registry and set OnboardingShown to 0 in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Cakewalk Music Software\Cakewalk\Core Some Dell computers run a program called “Dell SupportAssist Remediation” which has been identified as a resource thief.

Yes, the Focusrite interface should have the ASIO driver installed and the DAW should be setup to run in ASIO driver mode. That said, most of the 200ms may be due to Plug-in Delay Compensation. If see if plug-ins are the issue, bypass all plug-ins using the FX button in the Mix Module. While reading about this also review the help about PDC button.

Turn off controlled folder access https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/allow-an-app-to-access-controlled-folders-b5b6627a-b008-2ca2-7931-7e51e912b034

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.

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.
