Midwaythrough working on a project I stopped being able to hear any audio unless the track/s were solod. Basically if I want to hear the entire mix I need to toggle global solo or solo the master bus. There is no audio being detected by any track unless it's solod. I have tried restarting but to no avail. It must be something simple but I can't work it out. Does anyone have any experience with this?

I am on the latest version ( 015.) A buddy tried to play a song I did on this newest version and just ran into this problem. He had to update to 015 to get it to play without soloing. His version was a couple of months old and I asked him to try and remember. All he remembers is is was a a June version.


There are major changes to the solo logic in 2021.11 so its not surprising that older versions may have issues with solo.

The solution is not to use new projects with soloed tracks with older versions. There are bugs in the old versions that didn't handle solo properly.

Yes, I sent him a bundle, he opened it and it wouldn't show any meter activity on any track that wasn't solo'd. At first we thought it might be some hidden track (as suggested here) or something with the master buss. He toggled the global solo button several times. He also rebooted a couple of times. After messing for around 30 minutes I told him to update since I knew he was behind a bit on updates. Bang, it worked. He was on the 2011.06 version.


@Terry Kelley your issue appears to be caused due to an internal sidechain bus being left in a soloed state. I cannot reproduce anything that could cause that problem the latest release. Is it possible that you started that project in an early access release that had that issue?

In any case it can be fixed by simply turning on exclusive solo and toggling solo on the master bus and resaving your project.



If you or @Michael Reynolds have any way of reproducing this in a project from a fresh project created in the 2020.11 release let me know ASAP.


Any way you can tell me where this solo in the side-chain is? I'm looking at the project and I have the bass side-chained to the bass drum but nothing shows any soloing. Maybe that's what you mean by "internal" - I can't access it.


I'm not sure I know enough to recreate it at this point. Since it works in 2021.11.018 I'm not sure what to try. But hey, I'll try anything once. I might just need to chalk it up to a fluctuation in the aether.


I found the way to recreate the problem.

It was the Bass track being soloed that leads to the issue. It internally soloes the sidechain bus for the sonitus compressor.

Older versions don't handle this properly and think that some other track is soloed when its not, which is why they play silent even after unsoloing the bass track.


I do not believe that the legacy version of Cakewalk used Melodyne to make the audio to midi conversion. I installed Cakewalk Bandlab without Melodyne and the conversion works fine. I have an upgraded version of Melodyne on a different machine that the error occurs. Does Cakewalk by Bandlab have a way of choosing the app to use for the audio to midi conversion and can where might that selection or choice to change it be?


Thanks, SCook! I've never used Melodyne, but I had read somewhere that all u had to do was drag an audio to midi, to have the conversion done. Guess I'm gonna be reading up on V-Vocal, AudioSnap and the DrumReplacer.


I've never had a use for an audio-to-MIDI conversion, but because of reading this thread I dragged a bass track to an empty MIDI track, and it "worked," in the sense that it got all the way through the conversion and presented me with a MIDI track. But it also completely sucked. Note durations were off, ghost pickups were converted to quarter notes, and so on. I got a track, and with a couple of days of editing I might have been able to use it, but -- based on my one experiment -- this is not a very useful capability. Is anyone using this function successfully? (I have Melodyne Editor.)


When I installed Cakewalk Band lab, I chose NOT to install Melodyne because I already had Cakewalk Plat on my machine along with melodyne ASSISTANT installed (which is a step up from essential which commonly comes with both versions of cakewalk.


My Melodyne software either as a stand alone or vst within cakewalk bandlab works properly. It is when I drag a short audio clip from an audio track to a midi track - I used to do this all the time and it worked fine.


I did reach out to Melodyne folks and they confirmed that it is an issue with Cakewalk by bandlab. Both developer teams are aware of issue. It was also sated that the region FX method is recommended work around as Melodyne tech stated that the issue is also with Cakewalk and Melodyne 4.1


I just dragged an audio Bass track to a midi track and it worked like it has always worked for me. Sorry to hear it didn't work for you Larry. I think it depends on how the bass was played. It certainly doesn't like any fancy picking and slapping. I find the only bug is the note durations are all overlapping, The fix is to highlight the whole track and drag them back until they don't over lap. It does take a 10- 20 minute run through to fix minor glitches. I also have to raise it up an octave. But I have now converted probably 80 bass tracks. This has been over the last 5 years I guess and using all versions of Cakewalk.


What's cool is for my bluegrass songs to now have access to an acoustic bass. And for my backing tracks it gives me a dependable quantized bass line that sound almost as good as what I can get with Audio and a complicated $$ rig. I use the Ample P bass freebie.


I came to the conclusion that it was sort of built into Sonar. I tried it once on a simple guitar one note melody and it didn't work at all. It only seems to work on bass for me. Someday maybe I'll try and sing out of key and see what Melodyn can do for that!


Originally for DOS, starting with version Cakewalk 1.0 in 1987,[1] and, beginning in 1991, for Windows 3.0. Cakewalk, until version 4.0 required an MPU-401 MIDI interface card operating in intelligent mode, while 4.0 and later versions relied on the dumb UART mode only.


Cakewalk was delivered in two versions, Cakewalk Pro and Cakewalk Express. The latter was a lite version limited to 25 tracks and 1 MIDI output port. The Express version was sometimes bundled with hardware such as a sound card. Cakewalk was a purely MIDI based sequencer: Although it could trigger WAV files at certain points, more comprehensive audio support was not incorporated until the advent of Cakewalk Pro Audio when true support for digitized audio was added.


The last version of the product featured a piano roll editor, support for limited music notation and a built-in scripting language called CAL (Cakewalk Application Language).[2] Cakewalk was a predecessor of SONAR which had nearly all of the same features, including support for CAL, and was the only major DAW on the market supporting a scripting language.


Please can someone tell me if what I want to do is possible and if so how to do it.I would like to be able to send the midi pattern from cakewalk to VCV rack, which will play the noises and send them back to cakewalk as audio.I can get the rack (when using the computer keyboard or the midi keyboard) to send the audio back to cakewalk fine, but I am unable to get any midi signal into VCV from cakewalk.I may have set something up wrong but cannot for the life of me work out what.


Development on VCVBridge stopped some time ago. The best solution for using VCV in a DAW is buying the VST plug-in version of VCV Rack when it is released. At least, that is what I an anxiously awaiting.


If you really want to mess with it, here is a post I made on the old Cakewalk forum about using VCV Bridge. While you cannot post on that site, feel free to ask questions here or on the CbB forum. I will do my best to answer.

I am trying Cakewalk (free) as an audio editor for the time being and have been trying to set it up as an external editor both in Vegas Pro 18 and Movie Studio 16 Platinum. When I try to open a copy of an audio file in an external editor (Cakewalk), I get the same results for both programs. Cakewalk's response is "Could not open file. The file may be damaged or incompatible with this version of Cakewalk."
