saxon1066 Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Hey, listen. I am sick of having to go online to re-activate my free copy of Cakewalk, which seems less frequent but still necessary with this release. I do not want to have to connect my music computer to the Internet, and re-activating by signing in to Bandlab is just damn annoying. Next release: stop making us re-activate free Cakewalk periodically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmmatt1 Posted Saturday at 08:33 PM Share Posted Saturday at 08:33 PM I've had major issues (in this version) with buses no longer sending output to upstream buses. The audio just 'stops'....while other tracks/buses continue to work fine (no muting or anything, buses just 'stop working'). Bouncing Cakewak usually helps but sometimes I have to do a full reboot. In one case I had to create a new stereo bus and reroute tracks to it. This made finishing my final cakewalk project very difficult, but I got through it. This is a massive song file with 300+ tracks and 70+ buses. So maybe I pushed it too hard? I also just did a full uninstall/clean install a few weeks ago. Somehow, Sonar Platinum still continues to run everything I've created in the Bandlab version! My thanks to the awesome developers for 30 years of great times using Cakewalk. I hope this 'free' version stays around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be interested in seeing a copy of this project saved as a Project Template with no MIDI/Audio content to see if I can get it to misbehave as described, and also just to see how and why one might use so many buses.

The buses are used to manage extensive cascading 'echo tracks' (left/right pairs and 1-6 overlapping echos). I could have used less tracks/buses for sure, but its very easy to just add tracks and buses. I don't know if there is an upper limit. Or if this caused the problems. Not everything is playing at once, of course. The large number of tracks/busses is just 'ease of use'. And to keep things separated for mixing/automation/soloing, etc. Edited Monday at 04:35 PM by jmmatt1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
