Hi there, I'm trying to learn the new Cakewalk. I am using version 2021.12 Build 102, 64-bit on Windows 10 (winver reporting version 21H2 OS build 19044.1466) I have previous experience with a version from 1993, but the UI has changed too much. When I open an existing MIDI file, I can play it just fine, but I'm having trouble with getting audio when composing something new. I'm not sure if I'm using all the correct terminology, but here are steps I am doing:
* Launch Cakewalk by Bandlab (Cakewalk Start Screen appears)'
* Select New Project, Empty Project.cwt ("Project Successfully Opened" and "Keep up the momentum" appears in blue box)
* Insert->MIDI Track (Track 1 appears)
* Double click the Track 1 row below the timeline (piano roll view appears with "Double-click or drag to add articulation")
* Audition the piano roll (I'm expecting audio here but hear nothing)
* Draw notes on the piano roll timeline (blue rectangles appear)
* Play Track 1 (bar graph VU meter lights up with green about 80% high when the timeline cursor passes each note, but still no audio)
