Hi!

I am running CW 2022.11 build 021

I think that a new bug in the staff view has cropped up, it wasn't in the previous build (CW 2022.11.013)

The snap function doesn't seem to be working correctly.  Whatever SNAP TO note I choose, with the snap icon turned on of course, it fails to snap to its default position.  It looks correct in the notation editor, but the event list shows it's  not snapping properly.   This was a very old bug that was fixed years ago but somehow has reappeared.

Thanks!

Jerry

UPDATE!   I am not 100% certain this is a bug.  It may be a misunderstanding on my part.  I will continue to investigate and if I think it's a bug I will update this...

There haven’t been updates recently because as Lord Tim mentioned there have been both application and back end changes that we have been working on for many months that need to complete before we can

Thanks for a brilliant update! The new "Delete all" effects option is very useful, but I find it very unfortunate UX design and counter-intuitive that it's the new top option in the FX bin.

I would like to report a severe latency issue with Cakewalk since the 2022.11 update. Before this update I never had a problem with latency. I could record multiple takes on any live or midi instrument and they would all be synchronised and at the the correct time.

Now it is entirely intermittant with varying amounts of latency and Audio and Midi. I tried rolling back to the prior release, but that didn't fix it. I thought my UA25EX had finally given up, so I replaced that, it still does the same thing. What is odd with the fault is the fact that midi is also out of synch when recording, as well as the audio. The midi is from a USB keyboard and has its own driver and interface to cakewalk.

I've used Cakewalk since the Pro Audio 9 days and through Sonar and know the software well.

Its a little frustrating when your recording and have to drag all the clips back to the correct time, but never by the same amount. To check the system, I've tried another DAW and it all works and synchs as it should.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

I'm going to try a full reinstall of cakewalk to see if this fixes the issue. I'll post the results when I its done.

I doubt if re-installing Cakewalk will help.  Your issues sound more like an audio device configuration issue.

Assuming you haven't changed your audio configuration settings since the previous release, the only change that may be affecting you is the MMCSS setting.

This was effectively always on in prior versions, but now defaults to off as some drivers were crashing when trying to set it if they'd already set it internally.  Have you tried setting it to checked?

Tried all iterations of the MMCSS settings, no difference, other than making it worse with no playback at all. I thought that maybe a clean install would resolve any corrupted files from the multiple updates. Sometimes a fresh install fixes a silly bug. I thought it was worth a try. I believe the cause of the issue is related to the MMCSS settings, and I did update all the Audio drivers in case there was a problem with those.

First check View->Display Resolution settings and confirm that it isn't this that is showing un-snapped notes in the wrong position.  Try setting it to 1/32, and also turn off the "Trim Durations" and "Fill Durations" so you can see exactly what the notes are set to.

Other things to check:

UseGlobalSnapInStaffView hasn't been set to 0  in your cakewalk.ini file.  Make sure this is set to 1, e.g:

UseGlobalSnapInStaffView=1



... or remove it altogether ( it'll default to 1 if it's not there ).

If the problem still persists, can you send a project demonstrating this issue to @Jonathan Sasor ?

Hi msmcleod,

I'm still experiencing this bug but it's intermittent.  Of course the snap icon is on and the display resolution is always kept at 1/32.  I'll check my trim and fill duration as well.  I've never added UseGlobalSnapInStaffView so it's defaulting to 1 but I will double check that too.

It's almost as though CW seems to forget that the snap function is on.   At first I thought it might have inadvertently gotten turned off, but it's always on.  When I refresh the snap function note value, i.e go from 1/8 to 1/16 back to 1/8, it seems to start working again. 

I'll keep paying attention and see if I can learn more about when it stops working.

Thanks,

Jerry

After further investigation, what seems to be happening is that CW "forgets" that the snap function is lit (on).  If I click on the square snap icon on the toolbar to turn it off and then turn it back on, the snap function resumes working normally.   I will send the file I am working on now to Jonathan Sasor. 

Thanks!

Jerry

Hello, I have an issue. When I open a new project on Cakewalk, I hear a piano sound. Then after that when I pause and play, I hear a piano key. I dont know where it is coming from because nothing is indicating that audio is going through. This happened out of nowhere. Here is a video of the issue.

I see you've got MackieControl set up as a control surface - check the MIDI ports you've configured for that are correct.

CW syncs incorrectly to external device.

Go to Edit / Preferences / MIDI

Set MIDI Sync to the device you want to send midi sync to...

1553786539_SendMidiSyncPage.JPG.aedf46030137d331c97816e40d32887a.JPG

 

Start CW.

Result:  CW starts device and device and CW sync OK.  Now...

Go to Edit / Preferences / Metronome

Set the Record Count-in: to 2.

Enable a track to record then start CW.

Result:  CW delays start then sync the external device incorrectly.

Personally, I've found not all devices respect record count - some do, some don't.  My Alesis SR-16 and DataDisk work fine with record count, but we've had a few emails from support from people who's devices (mainly more modern ones), that don't.   

Transmitting SPP is important for count-in, which I see you've got unchecked.  It's important that the device knows it's starting at a negative measure number.

If this doesn't work though, the only way around this is to move the project along a couple of measures and start at zero.

Hi, 

I'm using cakewalk/sonar/bandlab for many years. I love the program and will continue to use it, but with latest version came one problem:

When I'm using a sustain pedal,  MIDI  not stopping/resetting when I hit stop button and it continuing to sound until I restart the audio engine/program.

It's happening to all VST instruments and its very annoying. I've checked "reset on stop" option, but with no success. I have the old SONAR X3 and there is no such problem.

Please help me resolving this issue. Thank you in advance. :)

Unfortunately SPP isn't helping with that.  But THANKS for the call out.....  CW now just ranks at 9.6 instead of 10.0 with that minor little niggle.   Of course if they could get that working it would easily be an 11.9 out of 10! ?

Hi. For me it's constantly crashes at some point of my work when I stop the playback, faced it with different tracks and different plugins included. After a few tries it crashes and that's it.

Also why there are no updates since november? Any possible updates in the future or is it finally over after so many years of support?
