Mage_et_lent Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 (edited) Hey, guys. Since the last update, I've been running into problems. Opening a project lasts 10 minutes. When the project is open in the end, all works perfectly. The problem is on loading. Maybe because I'm on Windows 7 ? But I would really like to revert. In the past, it was possible. Is it for this version ? I found nothing about it. All these new updates bring nothing interesting for me anyway. Thank you for your work !!!

Mage_et_lent Posted October 18, 2022 Author Share Posted October 18, 2022 (edited) Thank you very much for your kind help, Noel. I will not update Cakewalk anymore now. It rolls more or less (unfortunately often more less than more more) so. Sorry for saying that... but it's a fact. For me, the best version ever was Sonar 8.5. Since then, of course, there were very interesting new features, I deeply agree. But along, bugs were increasing. Why ? (In my humble opinion, because devs were never caring about the user wishes). I am also a "Blender" (3D) user. And their team are really listening to users. That's really an exception in strong apps (although it's free). A wonder ! When I am working in Cakewalk, I spend half of my time correcting, instead of normally progressing in my work. Fortunately, I know Cakewalk well enough to know how to correct all the wrong (or neglected) tasks. But it's a pity ! I love Cakewalk, that I have been using, paying much, since 1999. I could not use any other DAW, since Cakewalk is the only one with Staff Editor. And I am an old fashioned musician, who writes his music in the Staff Editor. (I have often read that I am not the only one, but we are too few, nowadays). I have of course also given up with the hope that it would be completely reshaped. There's no hope at all now... Everybody knows that it did not evolve, except in complicating things and in adding bugs at every update. I understand that it's not easy to satisfy every user need or wish. I also understand that Cakewalk must be a monster code and that a change in it will have effects in another part, and I do think that the bugs amount grows from that fact. But the bugs I am fighting against all day long (I am working at least 12 hours a day with Cakewalk) are not only in the Staff Editor. They are now everywhere ! The first big one is that stupid garbled magnetism !!!! It drives me out of my head. I dreamt to make a bugs list. But it would be such a huge drag, that I gave up with the thought of realizing it, and I think it would be useless anyway, not being followed by corrections (though hardly needed. Prior Cakewalk payed devs didn't achieve that, free devs won't do better). Nevertheless, I find it pretty nice that coders go on, it must not be that easy... Bravo, then. Thanks again, Noel !!! I am presently downloading the revert you kindly pointed to. Will see if it helps. EDIT : It did help... Loading was not at normal speed, but it was much faster. Yeeppeeeeee !

Noel Borthwick Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 @Mage_et_lentCan you share a link to the project that has the slow load. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Byron Dickens Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 It is probably a problem with your project, not with the CW update. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noel Borthwick Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 @Mage_et_lent Cakewalk no longer actively supports Windows 7. If you continue to use it, it's up to you to ensure your Windows 7 has the latest fixes from Microsoft. As things are bound to break. Not sure if this is related or not but the latest update has code signed dll's using SHA256. Windows 7 did not have SHA256 support by default so if you don't have a fully patched version you may have incompatibilities. This article has some further info.https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/2019-sha-2-code-signing-support-requirement-for-windows-and-wsus-64d1c82d-31ee-c273-3930-69a4cde8e64f Again I'm not sure if your issue is related or not. We're not seeing any problems in our Windows 7 test. Without seeing your project file there is nothing we can do further. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mage_et_lent Posted October 26, 2022 Author Share Posted October 26, 2022 Yeah, you are right, Noel. I apologize giving the guilt to the update, because I just bought a laptop with W10 and it rolls. Must be something wrong with my W7. Sorry and keep up the good work ! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noel Borthwick Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 @Mage_et_lent are you still seeing the problem? If so send the project file and we can try it on Win 7 here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mage_et_lent Posted October 29, 2022 Author Share Posted October 29, 2022 (edited) Thanks again for your help, Noel. I appreciate ! Good news, after weeks of getting mad at looking for a solution, I just pointed that the problem disappears when I deactivate Avira. So here's the culprit ! So please consider my subject as solved. Best regards ! Edited October 29, 2022 by Mage_et_lent 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noel Borthwick Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 @Mage_et_lent interesting so it was an AV causing the issue? Did the issue start with the 09 release? If so perhaps the signing caused it to somehow incorrectly flag the app slowing it down due to excessive monitoring of file loading. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
