Hi! Haven´t find the way to change the width of the Select module... I go as far as to find the Control Bar /Modules / Select / Background (large) within the Theme Editor, and get stuck. Should I edit it in Photoshop? - thanks!

... and a snapshot of the export video configurations that always works for me. H.264 codec is the best I came across. Using this configurations I manage to work really smoothly with video inside Blb.

... All the video related tasks described above refers to using a video editor to prepare your personal copy before importing into Cakewalk.

I work a lot in projects involving video and syncing music to it. No problems at all, providing that: 1. the video is encoded with mp4 codec and you have your windows codecs up to date. 2. You add a blank space at the beginning of the video to provide room for any pre roll you need for your music. 3. The exported video is not too heavy (for your computer configuration). 4. The other thing, for accurate frame syncing is to reexport your video file with as little as 1 frame in the Keyframe distance option of your video editing. This ensure that when advancing your video frame by frame (in the video window of Cakewalk) , the video doesn´t jump several frames. Once you get the video right, just import it, and it should play smoothly, using little resources. If you get it right once, to get it right for ever. For the music composition task, I find useful this: 1. Lock completely the audio track imported along the video, to ensure that it doesn't change position when you change your tempo. 2. Mark your video syncing spots using the markers feature and lock them, for the same reason. Sure, it would be nice if someday this wonderful DAW could just move the video in the timeline and lock it...! Hope this helps!

Also, you can select all the notes and drag with your mouse until you get the desired length. All notes will be shortened.

I have problems too with Bandlab Assistant updating itself. Doesn´t work. I had to download directly from Bandlab website. https://www.bandlab.com/products/desktop/assistant

...and to access this menu, press I or open the Inspector Tab, usually located at the left side of the track View. You should select your instrument track on the Track Pane to see the corresponding controls.

Wow, that is good news Noel! Thanks for the work involved. --- Glad to help!

Hi Noel: Here is some additional info: the crashes occurs using the VST3 versions. Apparently with the VST2 there is no problem - Good luck!

Hi, Noel. I’ve got some new information: The crash occurs only when deleting an instance of the Vienna Synchron Player Plugin AND USING IN ANY WAY IN COMBINATION WITH TRACK TEMPLATES (Save track template / load track template), as long as there are TWO instances of the plugin loaded using track template commands, and deleting the second of any of the instances - WEIRD! When inserting the plugin from the Insert/Soft Synth menu, it works fine, no matter how many instances are loaded in the project, as long as Track Templates are not involved. BdLb crashes in the same way when Saving Track Templates, as I reported in another post. To reproduce the crash: 1. Insert Synchron Player 2. Create (save) a track template Close BdLab, Re Open 3. Insert Synchron Player track template Instance #1 4. Insert Synchron Player track template Instance #2 5. Delete one Instance of Synchron Player 6. (sometimes Bdlb crashes here) 7. Delete second instance of Synchron Player 8. (More Often BdLab crashes here) Enclosed a new mini dump file. Untitled_09122020_145435.dmp

Hi Noel, thanks for your answer. Good to know that there is an explanation! The crash happens every time I delete a Synchron Player instance, no matter if it's a new project or not. It happens every time, so it's very easy to reproduce. In the meanwhile, I'll try the VST2 plugin instead of the VST3, as suggested by other user.

I have 32 Gb RAM. Some plugins, like Omnisphere, use a LOT of RAM. Others, not so much, so it depends on your particular setup. If your setup is full of VST's, the extra RAM is a blessing. Anyway, when I upgraded to 32 Gb, I really experience a big leap in terms of speed and reliability. Now I can load a LOT of VST's without struggle.

This a professional grade DAW. Yes, it takes time to learn it. If you do so, you probably will find it extremely easy to use.

Yes, same here with the arranger hanging. Haven´t tried with the latest update. It's supposed to be fixed.

Sure! ... sorry, how do I send a PM? didn't find the link - Untitled_09102020_191231.dmp

Hi! Despite the last update, Bdlb still crashes when deleting an instance of Vienna Synchron Player. Only happens to me with this particular plugin. Enclosed the minidump file. Thanks!

I got it: the PNG is created when pressing (with or without intention) the [Impr] computer keyboard key that saves an image screen, AND afterwards saving the cwp file. It creates a PNG file with same name as the cwp file, in the same directory, and yes, Bandlab uses the PNG for preview purposes on the start screen.

... first time I see it. And now it´s gone.... it´s not been saved along the file now. Weird-

Thanks! Didn't know that.

Hi, Lately, every time I save my project, I find a PNG file of the track view saved along the cwp file. Anyone having the same bug? Thanks -

Hi, thanks for your answer. I narrowed down the problem to Vienna Instruments Synchron Player plug-in. I contacted them, and say that it is a problem with cakewalk code... mmmm ... --- Cakewalk Bandlab 2020.08 (built 100) Vienna Instruments - Synchron Player 1.1.19.54 Win 10 Home Edition 32 Gb RAM Processor AMD RYZEN 5 2400G

Hi, Recently, every time I try to save a track template, BandLab crashes. The track template is created and saved, but the program crashes and closes. Anyone experiencing this behavior? Thanks!

Create Sections; Select Section on the left pane; Rename Section. I did this in a blank project and didn't fail... I'll check next time it happens the configuration the plugins loaded. Thanks!

Hi: I'm experiencing troubles when renaming a section: Blb hangs for ever.

I love this instrument too: I use the Vienna Instruments Harmonium: is fantastic - https://www.vsl.co.at/en/Special_Keyboards/Harmonium
