Phil Methot Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 Hello friends, This problem keeps poping up and I c an't finish a songl Problem: I load instruments such as BBC orchestra, Sample Tank 4, Addictive Drums, etc I can access the panels of each of these instruments, select the paramaters I need, and then I record. After a while and suddenly, I can no longer open the instrument panels. When I click on the icon, the screen does a little flash, but nothing else happens. The track still plays and I can also use the keyboard to generate new sounds, but... I can't make any changes to the original settings. This has happened on several projects. I try to start again on a new project, I lay down several vocals, drums, guitars, etc., however, if I start loading vsts the panels will eventually not be accessable. I'm using windows 10, updates are current, and the latest version of cakewalk as well. If anyone can help me with this, I would be very grateful.

David Baay Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 Sounds like the UIs have somehow gotten moved off-screen. They open as expected for me in your project, but I noticed the Multidock was undocked and minimized. I'm attaching a copy of the project in which I've re-docked the Multidock, and docked some of the synth UIs in it. If you undock them from there, possibly their screen coordinates will be corrected. I had to re-direct where it was looking for audio files since it was apparently using the Global Audio folder on F: so you'll have to re-reference that folder when it prompts for missing files. I highly recommend you switch to using per-project audio. Phil's project - Synth UIs in Multidock.cwp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Methot Posted April 29 Author Share Posted April 29 Hi David , Thanks so much for the help. I see how you have all the synth UIs docked together in the console, which is perfect. I have been opening the synth, making changes and closing it again. After a while they would no longer show up, as you've discovered. Docking them in the console would be much better. I don't know how you did it though. I have the same problem with a few other projects, so if I could beg your indulgence one more time to ask you 'how' you did it, the would be fantastic.

I just thought I might solve it for you by docking them. All you have to do (if you can get them to open undocked) is drag them to the bottom of the screen where a blue overlay/shadow appears indicating that they will drop into the Multidock when released. Most views, including the Console, open as tabs in Mutlidock by default. They can be undocked by right-clicking the tab, and you can also dock FX GUIs by right-clicking the title bar. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Methot Posted April 29 Author Share Posted April 29 Woah, that's cool. I never realized that by right clicking I could choose to put them in the multidock! David, thanks for the help. It was exactly what I needed, plus I learned something new. Cheers mate! Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
