Myriad Rocker Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 (edited) Forgive me if this answer is obvious. I've searched the online manual and the forum. Is there a setting I'm missing on how I can have multiple plugin windows open at once? If I open one and then open another on the same track, the first one goes away. I feel like I should know this but I've just dealt with it and moved on. Workflow thing at this point.

Terry Kelley Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 (edited) Turn off (uncheck) Recycle Plug-in Windows under Edit/Preference/File/VST Settings. Remember to hit Apply. Or leave it on and pin the plugin window to keep it open using the push pin at the top right. Edited August 16, 2021 by Terry Kelley 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blindeddie Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 (edited) Go to Edit -> Preferences - VST Settings and unselect "Recycle Plug-in Windows" Click apply!! Edit... @Terry Kelley beat me to the punch!!! Edited August 16, 2021 by Blindeddie 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andres Medina Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 You can Pin the window of any plugin, so it stays always open. See image - 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myriad Rocker Posted August 16, 2021 Author Share Posted August 16, 2021 (edited) Many thanks all! I wouldn't have guessed "Recycle Plugin Windows" meant that. Edited August 16, 2021 by Myriad Rocker Clarity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Tillotson Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 A few months after the event, but being new to Cakewalk wanted to upvote or what the term is for good tip! Similar problem, switching from reMIDI to Scaler and getting annoyed that the windows kept closing! "Recycle Plugin Windows" - why not "Keep Plugin Windows Open" make more sense ?

Alan Tubbs Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 I just mutidock all my synths and float it. The only problem with this is there is no way to reorder the multi dock windows tabs linearly. If your first window is a piano that you latter add a reverb on it, you have to side scroll through all the tabs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenLight Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 (edited) The keyboard nerd here with an additional tip: If you have "Recycle plugin Windows" enabled, you can temporarily disable it by keeping CTRL pressed while you double click a plugin. ⌨️ ?

Recycling is obviously the future, but it's not self-evident what plugin recycling means... ?
