It should work fine. Pretty easy to test too. Rather then use the import dialog for clips already in the project audio folder I use the media browser and drag them into the project.

Sure copying files into the project audio folder works but the files are not known to the project until they are actually referenced in the project either by using the import dialog or dropping the files into the project from the OS or media browser. Copying a project folder at the OS level will copy everything in the folder but the "Save As" in the DAW only knows about the files referenced in the project.

CAL isn't the only way, one could select and drag notes or use the Event Inspector but the OP specifically asked about key binding. Alternately one could use autohotkey to script a solution.

Yes, a CAL script bound to keystrokes is one way to perform the task. Here is a simple shift up 12 script (do (forEachEvent (if (&& (== Event.Kind NOTE) (< Note.Key 115)) (+= Note.Key 12) ) ) )

Yes, I added a little more info after your post.

You know you want it VCV Rack Community Edition will be GPLv3 (free/open-source). VCV Rack Studio Edition will be $99 ($149 after release sale) and include VST2 plugin support (+more plugin formats later) and professional support. Available November 2021. Announcement thread on the VCV Rack Community Forum https://community.vcvrack.com/t/vcv-rack-2/14027

This may answer some questions. My BandLab account has it's own user ID and password. Never had any issue with activation running on Win10. I have no experience using alternate methods to access the account such as Google.

I do not run CbB as administrator

I just downloaded and installed Freak v1.1.0 It scanned and works OK in CbB 2021.09 build 123 on Win10 Pro 21H1 build 19043.1165

The area in the red square is the right channel of a stereo clip. The clip was recorded on the left (or odd) channel only. For mono recording the track interleave should be set to mono. In this case, it was set to stereo. Your current config is hiding the track interleave button. This could be due to the workspace or track control setting. The interleave button is also in the track inspector regardless of the workspace and track control settings.

CbB has all the routing needed to capture MIDI from MG2.

Try the WASAPI driver modes in preferences.

Import the file back into the DAW and check the levels.

CbB includes extra instrument definitions including some for Roland. The default path is "C:\Cakewalk Content\Cakewalk Core\Instruments"

Preferences > File > Initialization File is a graphical front end to edit Cakewalk.ini values. The per-project value Zero Controllers When Play Stops may help too. This is set in Preferences > Project > MIDI

Looking at the MT Power Drum VST it mostly follows GM MIDI note values for drums by default. Most drum plug-ins support GM mapping even if it is not their default. In general, when drums don't map to the same MIDI notes there are a few of ways to address the issue: modify the map in the plug-in apply a different map in the DAW (this may be done using MFX Transpose or Drum map) move the MIDI data to the note values expected by the new synth Of course, there may be other differences that go beyond note mapping such as how the plug-ins respond to velocity, different articulations and instruments.

Whether a simple zip file or executable installer, when possible this is always a good idea. Some manufacturers allow repeat downloads but keeping backup copies does not depend on their continued generosity.

Finally belatedly pulled the trigger on the book, and within 5 minutes, mind blown. This is from someone who has been using Cakewalk almost daily for 3 1/2 years. I'd love to see an update or addendum with the Arranger Track and Articulation Maps. @Craig Anderton 's book is a great resource. It started as a collection of posts on the old forum. There are more tips that came after the original SONAR book still on the old forum site http://forum.cakewalk.com/Friday39s-Tip-of-the-Week-167-Behold-Dual-Mono-Becomes-Stereo-m3074655.aspx

The free metronome from SoundBytes may be a solution. Here is a short writeup and download link. On reviewing the writeup probably not. Unless one wants to toggle the track on/off while the transport is playing archive may be better than mute and if a synth is involved disconnect the synth too. Because mute may be toggled while the transport is running, whatever resources a track uses are still used when the track is muted. An archive track on the other hand is ignored by the DAW and a disconnected synth is unloaded from memory. To disconnect a synth, in the synth rack click the power button or if the synth rack docked in the browser click on the synth in the synth rack use the synth setting menu.

You must install the samples before they are available to the DAW. If they are delivered as a zip file, they must be unzipped into a folder before use.

It is common to see ,DS_Store files in zip files made on a Mac. Zip files made on Macs unpack just fine on Windows.

2x is the default. You may set the oversample rate as desired either by modifying Aud.ini see http://www.cakewalk.com/Documentation?product=Cakewalk&language=3&help=Mixing.25.html or use the Upsample Editor in my CbB Tools suite. Link in

After playing around a bit with file I think it may be related to the file names. If the files are unzipped in an uncompressed folder and If extensions are turned off in Windows Explorer and the files are only visible in the Cakewalk media browser when "Show All Files and Folders" is enabled - it is likely the files actually do not have the appropriate file extension. To see if this is the case enable "File Name Extensions" on the View tab on Windows Explorer. My guess is the file names will not change. IOW, they will not show the .wav extension. If the files are really wav files adding the extension will make them usable.
