dotonemanband Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 Can someone explain why I suddenly can't save projects? I can't save in Demo Mode. Not sure how I got to demo mode. Possibly I need to upgrade to the latest Bandlab assistant? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dotonemanband Posted February 4, 2019 Author Share Posted February 4, 2019 Where am I able to download Bandlab assistant. I can only find an option to download the whole cakewalk program. Do I have to do that in order to get the latest Bandlab assistant upgrade? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Walsh Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 For the sake of folks who may at some point in the future find themselves in a similar pickle, perhaps you could share how you resolved the issue? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

david40 Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 I have a friend who cannot get Cakewalk to work. With the track armed for recording, etc., the transport doesn't move when he hits the Record Button. It will not record no matter what he tries. Can you record audio in Demo Mode?

Kevin Archer Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 done all of the above - still locked in demo mode.................... what a nightmare Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexLeKid Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 yep Same here ..... Bandlab team seems to struggle more and more... Already a Boat load of error messages and they are always unable to solve the troubles..... Freeware.... I think this seems to be the new problem. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicolas Guzzo Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 me too, I had to reinstall my OS today, and cakewalk refuses to activate. I tried reinstall as admin and logout-login and nothing.... crap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexLeKid Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 (edited) The ''Run as admin'' is nothing but a scam as well as the log out / re-login..... it's definetly something wrong happening to the installation tool . I ' m waiting some ''official'' answer from their support team . They don't seems to realise that many of us use this software FOR WORK !!!!!!!!!!!!!! not a hobby or stuff like that. I will have to consider to move away if they continue their ''random'' decision like if this software is a toy .

Nicolas Guzzo Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 I agree, I too use it for work, it's a shame because I really like this soft now, I don't want to have to go back to sonar x3 (wich I paid for) o another soft but this kind of problems are ridiculous, why a free software has a demo mode anyways? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waldemar Pawlik Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 I'm a long time user of SONAR and now Cakewalk by BandLab since the change over. Over the last 18 months or so of CbB I have seen many frustrated users post of their problem with that damned BandLab Assistant and counted myself lucky for not ever having encounted any problems with installation or operation. Yesterday that all changed! I needed to do a fresh install of Windows 10. All was well until the installation of Cakewalk. Cakewalk loads well enough but now insists on validation via BandLab Assistant. After numerous attempts of trying, I don't know what else I can do. The problem is, after loading BandLab Assistant and attempting to active, nothing happens. No notification or progress bar appears. Just sits doing nothing, then when closed it can't be restarted again without a reboot! After a complex program like CbB you'd think the programmers could get a simple installer to work properly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waldemar Pawlik Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 For what it's worth. I completely uninstalled both CbB and BandLab Assistant, rebooted and downloaded the whole works again and patiently repeated the whole process of installation again and this time........Voila! It works. Go figure.? I hope this is the last time I need to do this. For a while, at least? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexLeKid Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 You are lucky .... did this around 11 / 12 times and nop .... still the stupide ''demo'' . I'm now trying it on another complete computer to try to figure it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicolas Guzzo Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 finally it activates, lost a day's work , no need to reinstall though, must've been their server was down or something, great engineering, at least should display a message or something!

Nicolas Guzzo Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 I just opened the assistant, (as admin) then clicked refresh activation and this time it worked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holly Cow ..... me too ! Lost my day too .... they definetly got something wrong since we're all de-bugged at few minutes appart . I missed the time when this whole Cakewalk was stable and reliable. I'm out . Good night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david40 Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 After my buddy finally got Cakewalk activated, everything seems to be going OK but then he needed to move the audio in a track over a couple of measures for a count-in and discovered he can't move it. I thought he was just messing up so I did a TeamViewer remote support session and got to try it myself. Sure enough, after selecting the audio in the track, when hovering the mouse pointer over the track header it doesn't turn into that four arrow pointer that indicates you may now drag the waveform. That's one hell of a serious glitch. Seems like Windows 10 has brought a whole host of strange issues. Glad I stuck with Windows 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
57Gregy Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 If I ever have to move a track(s) I use the Insert>Time>Measures command. Just place the cursor where you want the move to occur, set 1 (or more) measure and it will move everything the specified amount. Measures are easy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Vere Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 (edited) You friend had probably toggled a different mouse feature. look in the control bar , on my screen its to the right of the export module. Make sure the smart tool is selected, or you can select the move tool like in the past. Cakewalk is complicated and it's real easy to toggle a feature your un aware of that make things weird. Pay attention to your control bar settings. Edited May 14, 2020 by John Vere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
