When the computer crashed the picture cache may have been corrupted. Select all the clips with CTRL+A Right-click in the clips area Select "Associated Audio Clips..." from the bottom of the context menu Click "Recompute Picture(s)" to redraw the images.

Studio Instruments are not installed with CbB. They have their own installer. Run the Cakewalk Web Installer and select Studio Instruments and any of the additional installers you want to run. The extra installers are also available in BandLab Assistant under "Install Add-ons..." on this menu

Instead of installing with BandLab Assistant, try using the Cakewalk Web Installer.

Yes, it could be plug-in delay compensation. Either way, it has nothing to do with updating CbB. If this is the case, the FX button in the mix module will bypass all plug-ins in the project. If the delay goes away, one or more plug-ins in any FX rack or ProChannel are the cause. The PDC button in the mix module may help in this case.

Check you audio preferences. Verify the driver mode and mixing latency settings.

To open the plug-in UI click on the small icon between the track number and track label in the track header. Also there is an option on the Insert Soft Synth Options Dialog to display the "Synth Properties Page" (aka the plug-in UI). This will open the plug-in UI when it is added to a project. If the Insert Soft Synth Options Dialog does not appear, it is because "Ask This Every Time" at the bottom of the dialog was unchecked at some time. This dialog may be opened using the Synth Rack View ("E" in the image below) and the option reset. Plug-in UIs may be opened using the menu "D" in the image above too. A soft synth requires at least one instrument track or an audio+MIDI track pair for a complete routing. Simply pointing a MIDI track to a soft synth is not enough. There must be an audio track to capture the audio from the plug-in. An instrument track is nothing more than a presentation layer above an audio+MIDI track pair.

Try the Cakewalk Web Installer

This is a pretty old thread and a lot has changed since its creation. The only time BA is necessary is activating CbB on machines not connected to the internet. The Cakewalk Web Installer can perform initial installs. CbB has a built-in update process.

If it is a plain MIDI track, it will also require an audio track with its input set to the synth too.

What sample rate and mixing latency buffer size is the project using? What driver mode?

If you have a license for Platinum it should automatically get activated when installing using the Command Center. If you have a license and did not activate using the Command Center follow the manual activation steps here All content and plug-ins installed with any 64bit version of a Cakewalk DAW may be used with CbB. VST plug-ins must be in the VST scan path. DX plug-ins must be registered with regsvr32.exe (this is normally done by the installer).

Yes, the Cakewalk Command Center link still works. Make sure you are logged in to your account. Platinum not only has plug-ins not in X3, some of the plug-ins have bug fixes. Compare the X3 and Platinum documentation plug-in sections to see the difference.

Drum Replacer is bundled with CbB too.

Is the plug-in installed in the same path on both machines?

Could there be plug-ins missing on computer 2?

Create arranger sections from the markers Set source category in the Export dialog to Arranger Sections

What is the theme setting in Preferences > Customization > Themes

ditto

Yeah, the big push before VCV Rack pisses in all the modular plug-ins cornflakes

Yes, how MIDI data is interpreted is up to the plug-ins.

The exception that proves the rule

yes Except for this one
