all good stuff. I actually just did this with the computer that now freezes -it is my backup, and just like you my old computer runs better. It took me off and on a few days to install everything on the new computer but since its done, I will fix it. Thank you

excellent. I really appreciate the time you have taken.

Thanks Bristol. I have a tech coming in 24 hours. I will get it working and give the WINDOWS 11 thought 10 months to brew.

my MOBO is ok. Think its better to swap out the CPU and then I'm good to go? This is homemade Desktop. How will you be careful?

thanks. How does one be careful? Use a third party security system?

so what will you do?

I am and have been a music producer for many years. I assume I will have to get a new computer as after October Windows 11 is in the house. My backup computer is freezing a lot (Windows 10Pro) 64G RAM, 17-7700k 4 Core 4.20 GHZ and a tech is coming to look at it and is telling me to buy a new computer instead as it is not compatible after next October. My main computer is an i5 and has been working daily for 12 years -new SSD Drives, RME Interface. I am here in Japan with nobody to talk to and would love to meet with someone in Zoom soon to see/hear my options. I toss these two good machines? Keep the best as a backup and don't go online and buy one new one? I have "read the manual" but my backup computer is very good with 64GB RAM and if there is anyway to avoid moving forward to 11. The techs concern is if I have to get a new computer in only 10 months, why put money into this incompatible one. Finances are a big concern as I do a lot of things to help people for low budget so need the cheapest professional way out. I have all the best VST's money can buy and some of course CPU extensive. To reiterate, I am a musician and not a geek and no longer work for labels who take care of these things for me so could use some help and am willing to pay for the time as well as help you with your mixes, keyboards, backing vocals, etc. Would be wonderful if it could happen soon as the tech is coming Japan time Saturday 28th 5:00 which is EST Friday 3:00 am. Hopefully yours, Michael

Hi. This is most often when I have a lot of tracks especially (only when) using Omnisphere ann some heavy processing programs. The song sounds ok but the measures are kind of stuttering. If you close Cakewalk and go back in it always fixes it. Is there another way? I tried toggling FX, PDC master buttons but doesn't help.

Bristol Jonesy you have made my day -and saved me so much time. I use keyboard shortcuts all the time and saved them all in a file, but adding a new one is often daunting. Please message me if you need any help with music, keys, mixing, your dog. Much appreciated.

I'm not catching this. How to I get to those places you are talking about? I have a shortcut the volume envelope on/off toggle but I can't find clip gain. Where is Toggle Track? Where is the edit filter? Where is Track View Area?

I did it in the registry twice obviously with the other computers. I'll see which is easier. Thanks. yea I have that. Looked kind of foreboding but I'll look again.

Hi. I have done this fix a few times over the years but don't know how to do it now. I have the old manuals how to do it but was wondering if there is an easier way than going into the registry and typing everything in? If anybody has any recent news (like in the last 10 years -Ha -it would be much appreciated. Its crippling not having this as I have to export and import out of Cakewalk into SoundForge and back.

what it says in the title. I try to open Cakewalk on the new computer and it says to sign in to my Bandlab account. I am there, I see my profile pic. Even open Cakewalk from the Bandlab app. Opens -get the same prompt. (not activated -please sign in to your Bandlab account to activate Cakewalk.) It wasn't like this before -meaning setting up the new computer is an ongoing project and up until now when I opened it was fine.

Lost. Is this a new forum and is Sonar $49.99 a month? I just looked it up online. Can you point me to the already-started discussions on this? I do a lot of pro bono and very low budget productions and the expense would kill me. Thanks
