Gunwoo Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 Hello, I just downloaded the cakewalk DAW by following the youtube tutorials and as the video said, I tried to add an instrument but it only showed me the "Cakewalk TTS-1" and nothing else. I searched up why this is happening but non of the solution that was suggested from the internet worked. I did install the add ons, I did check the cakewalk plugin manager and I deleted and redownloaded the DAW 3 times and even made 2 new accounts and it still has the same problem. I noticed that on the plugins menu, the instrument section only shows Cakewalk TTS-1. Why is this happening and how can I solve this? Thanks.

Byron Dickens Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 (edited) Did you run a VST scan? Edited July 19, 2021 by bdickens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunwoo Posted July 19, 2021 Author Share Posted July 19, 2021 I don't think I did the VST scan thing. How do I do it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gunwoo Posted July 19, 2021 Author Share Posted July 19, 2021 I went to the VST scan and fount c:/program files/cakewalk/vstplugins and c:/program files/common files/vst3. It should function normally if I have those right? But it still doesn't work for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nigel Mackay Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 Did you let it install to the default folders? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abacab Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 The Cakewalk instruments are a separate download from the main DAW download. Look in BandLab assistant under the Apps tab. Click the dropdown arrow in the Cakewalk section beside the word "Open". Select "Install Add-ons". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gunwoo Posted July 21, 2021 Author Share Posted July 21, 2021 I did do the whole VST scan and checked it over and over and I did also download all the add-ons but nothing seems to work out. I think something's wrong with my computer in general. I tried to use other DAWs but they showed the exact same problem. But thank you guys for the help.
