Cakewalk won't play more than the first note

[Gary Wheeler]

When I push play, cakewalk plays the first note only from the cursor position. Some files play correctly, others only the first note at cursor position.  Also if trying to record, same thing. First note then stop. It's like Cakewalk thinks the end of the song is at the beginning. Anyone know why?

A bit more information is going to be need. What audio interface and driver mode are you using? Is this a midi or audio track?  A screen shot of your tracks might also be useful.

Make sure that Stop at Project End button is unchecked under Options.

I'm using Windows 10 and cakewalk version 2020.08 64 bit.

I don't know where to find the audio interface and driver that you are asking about. It is all Midi. And as far as a screen shot, it happens with almost all .wrk files from cakewalk 9 so I'm not sure a screen shot will be of any use.

I don't know where to find the Options you are referring to. If under Preferences, I'm unable to find that option, but I think you are on the right track. Is there a similar option in cakewalk 2020.08?

If it's all MIDI then your audio interface should not matter.  (Unless you're routing MIDI to a VSTi)

Have you checked in Preferences | Project settings.  Thinks like Clock settings (not set to MIDI sync) .  

When I load a Cakewalk Pro Audio (WRK) file from 2001,into Cakewalk by Bandlab,  it plays properly and does not stop until the end of the file.

In my CbB Preferences | Project | Clock the clock source is set to "Audio" with a "Ticks per quarter note" of 120 (I usually change this to 960 if updating the file for Cakewalk by Bandlab).

Out of curiosity, are you trying to play old *.wrk files created on Cakewalk Pro Audio 9 basically as a MIDI sequencer controlling external MIDI gear?

um, yes. But I am trying to do this within Cakewalk by Bandlab as that will give me much more flexibility and functionality over Pro Audio 9.

I load heaps of "MIDI only" Cakewalk Pro Audio 9 WRK files into Cakewalk by Bandlab 2020.9 build 006. Never had an issue.  They all just load and play to the end.
