A VST reset performs 2 operations Clear the VST Inventory in the registry Scan every file in the scan path with vst3 extension and every file with dll extension except for those in "C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3". Dlls in the default VST3 folder are not scanned. They are supposed to be support files used by the VST3 plug-ins. Running another scan immediately after performing a reset is redundant.

Leave all clips as they are, mix and master then dither on the final 16bit export. If you decide to master in a new project, export at the render bit depth with no dithering, import at original bit depth into the new project and dither the final 16bit export.

Yes.

The DAW can work with a mix of different bit depths. You can't do anything to improve pre-recorded clips but you should set the record and driver bit depths the same to maintain the best resolution available for your recordings.

As a rule, Bring clips in to a project at their original bit depth. Set record and driver bit depth to the same bit depth. Use 32 or 64bit render depth. Dither once on export when exporting to 16bit. Do not dither when exporting at the current render bit depth.

Yes this is pretty common for ASIO drivers. None really. Should clips be created at a higher bit depth than the render depth, the default dither will be used during rendering.

Mixing clip bit depths is OK. As a rule record bit depth should be set the same as driver bit depth. Render bit depth defaults to 32. Because the render depth (32) is higher than the export depth (16) dither on export.

The blue star indicates the default template. When first installed Basic.cwt is the default template but any project template may be set as the default by clicking on the star in the upper-left of the project icon.

That is a Win7 problem, use the new Cakewalk Web Installer

what OS?

Been eyeing Blue Cat's DP Meter Pro for years. Not for metering, got plenty of those, but for envelope generation. Finally decided to pick it up. Have to say, their website tutorials could use an update.

follow the links in the post

It's pretty interface and driver specific. Some interfaces have multi-client ASIO drivers although most Windows apps do not use ASIO and those that can often do not really need it. While my RME can loopback, I never have to mess with it when playing audio any number of program while the DAW is running.

To access MIDI CC data directly open the controller pane in the piano roll view. To edit the data in the track view convert CC data to automation envelopes. Keep in mind converting the data to automation may loose some accuracy in the first conversion to automation and when it is converted back to CC data during playback.

Using the Cakewalk Web Installer for the first time and updating CbB 2021.04 or older leaves the full installer in the download directory. Updating from CbB 2020.09 through 2021.04 leaves the full installer in the download directory. If running CbB 2021.09 roll back to 2021.06 then again to 2021.04. If running CbB 2021.06 roll back to 2021.04 IOW, the full installer is downloaded when installing the first time or updating from 2+ versions ago.

Probably the workspace setting. Either create a new workspace with the desired modules or set workspaces to None.

Bounce To Track(s) does not have to bounce the entire track, however; it will create a single clip in a new track based on what is selected in the source track.

The most recent version of CbB is 2021.09 but the importing into a year old version of CbB is no different. The same version of CbB may look different depending on how the user sets up the DAW. I mostly run with workspaces set to None and the default layout and a user theme I created on a single monitor. If you need to preview the clips before importing it may be faster to use the media browser instead of the import dialog. Navigate to the clip folder in the media browser. Click on a clip to preview. Drag clip(s) into an existing track or create a track by dropping a clip to the blank space in the clip pane.

Muted tracks in CbB load the DAW as much as unmuted tracks because tracks may be unmuted any time even while the transport is running. Archived tracks are ignored by the DAW. If the tracks use synths, archived tracks should also have the synths disconnected to completely free up the resources used by the synths. To disconnect synths use the power button in the synth rack when floated or docked in the multidock, otherwise; use the synth rack settings menu "D" in the image below It would be nice if it were that simple.

Just download and installed TB ProAudio MvMeter 2. Tested both VST2 and VST3 formats dropping the plug-ins in a track FX rack and ProChannel in CbB 2021.09 build 145 on Win10 Pro 21H1 build 19043.1237 . Both formats worked OK. If there is no dump in %appdata%\Cakewalk\Cakewalk Core\MiniDumps try setting ExceptionHandlingSeverity to 7. For info about this setting see the Improved plug-in exception handling / crash reporting section of http://www.cakewalk.com/Documentation?product=Cakewalk&language=3&help=NewFeatures.023.html This feature was adding in CbB 2021.04. Compress and forward the dump to support@cakewalk.com For more info about handling crashes see

If it is really a mono plug-in change the track interleave to mono. The interleave button is at the bottom left of the track header and the left most button on the first row of buttons above the pan knob in the track inspector and console view strips.

BandLab Technologies has two DAWs BandLab - a web-base application Cakewalk by BandLab - a Windows program based on SONAR Platinum There is little risk to trying CbB. It installs as an upgrade to SONAR. IOW, the DAW installs in a separate folder with the shared folders updated to support both SONAR and CbB. Even if you decide not to use CbB, SONAR will benefit from bug fixes and enhancements to the shared folders. CbB can use all the content included with 64bit SONAR. BandLab Technologies did not start with a new team of developers, they hired a small group of Cakewalk staff including @Noel Borthwick the Cakewalk CTO to develop, maintain and support CbB. Since then they have added a few new people to the team.
