![]() This almost seems like an anxiety dream: I'm up on stage to do a set and I look down at the screen and it's Cakewalk 9!Īnd I forgot to put on trousers before I left home. ![]() Even if you got it to the point where it seemed stable, there's no way you can test it under every condition you might encounter on stage. I suggest you not even bother trying to get it to work under Windows 10. Which will be during a gig, after which you will then be forced to learn a new program in time for the next one. The only other thing I can suggest is, in addition to running it in compatibility mode, make sure CWPA9 is running as administrator.Īll I can say is.bring a laptop with the entire set on it so that you can mime to it when your Cakewalk Pro Audio 9 setup finally packs it in for good. VirtualBox by Oracle is free, and I run an XP virtual machine to run old 16 bit patch editors, and also CWPA9! You could also try running Windows XP as a virtual machine. You can install it on a separate drive and have a dual boot with Windows 10 if necessary. Personally, I'd stick to Windows XP if you can for running CWPA9. If you've got a 32 bit version of Windows 10, it may behave better. I don't know if there are any 16 bit components to CWPA9, but if there are, they definitely won't work in Windows 10 64 bit. ![]() The 64 bit versions of Windows can only run 64 bit and 32 bit programs. So it's not surprising that CWPA9 doesn't quite behave as expected on Windows 10.Īll the 32 bit versions of Windows can run both 32 bit and 16 bit programs. Since NT, there has been Windows 2000 / ME, Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 10 and now Windows 11.Īlthough CWPA9 uses standard Windows API's, those have likely changed over the past 23 years - and certainly in the case of security, significantly so. Windows 95 & 98 were 16 bit, and Windows NT was 32 bit. If you really like Cakewalk Pro Audio 9 and want to continue to use it, maybe someone else with detailed knowledge of Windows 10's Compatibility Modes can tell you how to get it to open the file or can suggest an alternative.Ĭakewalk Pro Audio 9 was designed for Windows 95, 98 and NT. I had to tell Windows 10 to associate *.wrk files with Cakewalk, but once I did that, it continued to work. PS: I just opened a *.wrk file from a Windows file listen. If so, and if you haven't tried Cakewalk by Bandlab yet, maybe you could try that. ![]() If I understand correctly, you are saying Cakewalk Pro Audio 9 opens but the *.wrk files is not in the program. I have properties open with Cakewalk Pro Audio 9.Īnd I click on a file If I close Cakewalk and go to that folder I select a folder with *.wrk files pick a MIDI file. ![]()
