Cakewalk 2021.06 update 1 released
In case you missed it...

Update July 13 2021:

2021.06 Update 1 (build 27.06.0.053)

Enhancements for input and output port names

• When using Friendly Names for audio devices (Edit > Preferences > Audio - Devices) , use the vertical bar character (|) to separate left/right/stereo channel names.
• When using Friendly Names, menus only show L/R/S descriptors and not channel numbers. (Channels can be named using the vertical bar character in the friendly name).
• Channel numbers are only shown in the port menu and not in the actual port name field to make the readout more compact.  The full name is always shown in the tooltip.
• Channel numbers in menus are separated from the port name,  using a columnar layout.
• You can choose to display the port channel information as a prefix or suffix to the port names shown in the menu. Set this via the Display Channels as Prefix in Port Menus option in Edit > Preferences > Customization - Display.
• Port names and tooltips for sends and aux tracks have been improved.

Finer choices for tempo decimation

The TempoImportDecimationResolution Cakewalk.ini variable affects how tempo envelope shapes are preserved when opening Cakewalk 2021.04 (and later) projects in earlier versions.

The TempoMapDecimationResolution variable specifies the minimum time resolution for each tempo map entry when creating tempo envelope curves and lines. Both these variables can now be set to values smaller than 60 ticks. The values are as follows:

1 = 240 ticks (16th Note)
2 = 120 ticks (32nd Note)
3 = 60 ticks (64th Note)
4 = 30 ticks (128th Note)
5 = 15 ticks (256th Note)
6 = 12 ticks (320th Note)
7 = 6 ticks (640th Note)
8 = 3 ticks (1280th Note)

Cakewalk responds to PC sleep / wakeup

The audio engine stops if/when Windows tells Cakewalk it is about to suspend/hibernate. If Cakewalk receives a Wakeup notification (i.e. you've awakened from suspend or hibernate), it will restart the audio engine.

Note: Some audio drivers may not respond properly to a wakeup notification, which will cause the audio engine to fail to restart.

Bug fixes

• Not all horizontal grid lines showing on Tempo track when using Tempo Track Show/Hide
• Tempo Track Show/Hide shortcut (ALT+T) is not shown in Track view View menu
• Display All Times as SMPTE does not persist as expected
• Extra tempo node added at end when inserting tempo after last tempo node
• Synth port numbers appear unexpectedly after using Replace Synth
• Spacing in Input picker inconsistent for inputs above 9
• In ASIO mode, the input port menu reported the number of stereo channels rather than the actual hardware channel count
• In-app Update fails to launch if user path has Unicode characters

I love Cakewalk for those small divisions. It is one of its big advantages over S1 for instance.

S1 dev guys cannot understand 1/64 division for audio tracks it completely not good enough .
