Hi;
 
I remember in Sonar X3 when I deleted a synth track I also had to go to the browser and delete the synth too if I wanted to reclaim the memory it used.  I took notice in CakeLab the only synth listing in the browser is where you can select them to insert.  So, in CakeLab if I delete the synth track am I also deleting the synth or is the synth in some other directory if I want to delete it to reclaim the memory?
 
Thanks.
John B.

Views > Synth View

You are deleting the synth as well when you delete the track

I just wanted to make sure, and Synth View works.
 
Thanks!

Be cautious about the " Delete associated tracks " switch when you delete synth. You must un-assign any midi track assigned to the synth when using this - or - you will delete the assigned midi track. This has bugged me for awhile. I think you should never lose a source data track through this dialogue. This should just delete the generated audio tracks from the track view - You can instead REPLACE synth from the synth rack to keep from chancing losing your MIDI track.

They changed the way things work. Example, Home studio does not even have a synth Rack view.
So yes you can just delete the instrument track. 
It will ask if you ant to delete associated tracks. If no midi track is outputting to that synth at it this is safe to do.  
There is also the Replace synth option if your just trying different sounds
 

I always uncheck the delete associated tracks because it has "got me" too many times.

As per how I work, I delete the associated track first, then the synth.
