External Insert Port Allocations being lost

[norfolkmastering]

I have found an issue with Cakewalk losing all external insert audio port allocations in a project.

I create a project and allocate audio port allocations for those inserts.

Then I save my project.

So here is the problem:

If I ever accidentally open that project with my audio interfaces not powered up OR if Cakewalk does not recognise one or more of my audio interfaces, then all of the audio port allocations to my external inserts are lost and cannot be recovered.  The external inserts all show 'none' for the send and returns.

This only happens with external inserts.  Audio Port allocations to track inputs and bus outputs are never lost.

Has anyone else had this issue and is Cakewalk aware of the problem?

Regards

Robert
