Question: 'Why is Cakebirth is greyed out when I open it'?

If you experience Cakebirth is 'greyed out', you need to select track 16 in Cakewalk (in the track view), then change the track properties to Channel 16.

In the panel, the default setting for Cakebirth is track 16, channel 16, but you can change both these settings if you wish, by using the dials located on the right hand side of the panel, in the 'master section'.

You will need Hubis loopback device or similar installed. Details are included in the readme.txt included with Cakebirth
