Is this related to all your other posts where this seems an ongoing issue for you? One thing comes to mind is a hidden tracks or buss. Open the track manager and look for hidden tracks. Another troubleshooting tip would be to bypass all effects in the control bar. mix module. If the issue goes away then it's defiantly created by an effect your using.

You need to perform a loop back test Follow my instructions in the video I posted above. And download the RTL utility app this will give us some clue as to what is not right.

Actually looking at your specs I'm wondering why you need to freeze anything? My computer is 1/4 or less the horsepower of yours and I have never had to freeze a synth? How many tracks you running? Is your CPU meter showing it's maxed out?

Also I hope your using direct monitoring . Do not use the Input echo or you will hear the latency.

The Bandlab Assistant continues to be an issue. Even though I'm used to it I often have to re try updates and uninstall and re- install the assistant most times. It must be developed by someone other than our Crack crew at Cakewalk because they would have fixed it long ago.

I should have caught this earlier. You do not want to use internal sync. Not sure why that is working because technically it shouldn't. From the documentation- sync type. Select the sync type. The following sync types are supported: Internal Sync . Timing is determined by the clock on the computer motherboard. MIDI Sync . Timing is determined by the clock on an external MIDI device. SMPTE/MTC Sync . Timing is determined by a time code signal (in SMPTE or some other format) recorded on some external medium or generated and sent by Cakewalk. Audio Sync . Timing is determined by the clock on the computer’s audio interface. Here are some screen shots of what your audio preferences SHOULD look like. And you always use the audio sync because that is why we use ASIO drivers. Notice that the Focusrite MUST show as the Playback and timing master as well as for Recording Latency adjustment Device . I explain in detail in my Why ASIO is important video. I have a feeling it isn't your Focusrite being used for sync.

Did you watch my tutorials? In my signature. If that doesn’t work let me know. But I cover most of your issues in the using on board sound video which I assume you must be using

You have nothing to loose if you make a backup of the original

Removed for updating.

Are you sure your in MME mode? That's not really supported anymore. My Motu only supports ASIO and WASAPI shared. It won't run in other modes. My Tascam will run in WDM. But if your using on board audio that's different. I prefer to set my interfaces in ASIO and just leave them alone. They seem to work in all situations. Movie Studio seems to prefer ASIO too. I can open the audio tracks in a wave editor which they also like asio mode. The only app that seems to bobm out is VLC player. I alway have to switch from default to Motu. Stupid thing is the Motu is the default and only audio device. All others are disabled.

Did you watch my tutorials which are in my signature. I clearly explained all that you are trying to do. It’s a 5 part series all on my web site. https://sites.google.com/view/cactus-studios/cakewalk-videos - All the midi ones are worth watching even if I'm using a downloaded file. It’s been a month here I made you new tutorial, I was going to do this one someday anyhow.

Yes I just used it yesterday. Of course the old computer is completely compatible and once it dies the card will be useless. I think it’s more about the MOBO than the OS. The driver was last updated for W7 64 bit. But as you see in the screen capture it’s perfectly fine. Only does 48/ 24 but so do I. It was from a radio station set up. I was hesitant about updating the computer to W10 but it’s a home built system and I didn’t have a W7 disk anymore. The OS drive died. My son had one of those $30 Amazon W10 pro licenses and I had a 120 SSD drive so all was good I used the analog in/ out for the loop back test but I have it hooked up to my Yamaha 01v via SPDIF. Rock solid vintage system that performs as good as anything new. It is too bad that nobody makes these cards like that anymore.

Hold the phone. I just read this again and what I think you’re saying is your watching the wave form as you play and it is out of sync. Yes this is the way it works. If you watch my video it might make more sense to you. As you can see in you settings there is latency that the DAW has to calculate and adjust for. In your case this is 20 ms. That is probably exactly how much you’re seeing. Don’t quote me on that I’m only taking a long shot. And I’m not sure about graphic card latency being part of this equation but it probably is. I know for sure my wave is always drawn late and then pops into place when I stop.

@AndyB01 @Robert McClellan just an update. I was setting up to make a new tutorial and I noticed in OBS audio input list my Motu loop back inputs. I can use ASIO Now without issue. Most of the new interfaces have a loop back function now. So I really like not having to change driver mode just to do the capture. The other thing I just did was I recorded the narrative into Cakewalk. I edited it and applied processing. I then used this project as my tutorial example by starting screen capture, starting playback of project and then tried to follow my narrative with actions It turned out ok but still needs some editing I posted it anyway it’s the one on adding effects

By his response I don't think he read the other posts.

You didn't say which driver mode and audio interface you are using, Syncing issues are common if not using ASIO.

Yes really well played and overall a good sound but will agree the snare is possibly the most out front which might be OK if the. Guitar came up to match it. and yes there very little bass. I could hear the kick OK. it's a nice squeaky clean sound that suits the style.

You need to turn it way up. Compared to the other posts here I couldn't hear it very well.

I think this is just perfect . I'm a big fan of the Combo V and Combo F organs. My first band we had a guy with an Acetone we played Light my Fire. What software do you use for that very well done ( in its funky style) animation. It's exactly what I was looking for.

I have this Card deluxe PCI interface I keep in a old 2010 computer and it still runs fine with latest Cakewalk and W10. I think it was made in 2001. It's RTL is about the same as any of my newer interfaces.

One of the features of my new Motu M4 is a Loopback feature. It seems to be a new trend with interfaces. I guess a common complaint was it being hard to copy audio directly from the internet. Probably copywrite law issues. I've been mucking about with screen capture with OBS and I would always have to use WASAPI shared to get OBS to record Cakewalks output. I noticed the Loopback channels as options in OBS and sure enough this works. So I can stay in ASIO mode for screen capture recording as well as using the interface to adjust the balance. And then today I found a second use which is what I think most people were after. A friend posted a song on Reverbnation but he is a paranoid so didn't allow downloads. I wanted the song file so I could analyze it with things like span and Youlean. Ha- just set an audio track in any DAW or wave editor to the Loopback channel and record in real time. Anyhow just thought I'd share as many people are always shopping for new interfaces and this just might be a feature worth having.

First I do believe the TTS-1 is more or less identical to the Sound Canvas as far as GM midi goes. In other words there's not much point in using the Sound Canvas anymore. And most folks use the Sample based instruments like the Studio Instruments that come with Cakewalk or the 1,000 of free VST's available from places like https://plugins4free.com/ But your title say's Roland Sonic Cell? So is this what you are using? If so, the answer will be in the user manual. Possibly there's a setting that allows for PG changes and they are being blocked. A downloaded GM midi file will show it's Channel, bank and patch in the midi track header, check there to see if the patches are correct. In my signature is links to tutorials for all this stuff to do with TTS-1 and using downloaded midi files.

This sort of belongs in the Songs sub forum. That’s the best place for advice on mixing which is what this tread is about.

Updated video and added better instructions.

It's also a design flaw with a lot of interfaces. The 2i2 lacks a blend control so you can adjust the difference between input direct and DAW playback. You see the Tascam has the input/Computer blend control but the Scarlett doesn't. Little details on interfaces make a huge difference. SO now the OP has to turn down the MAster in the DAW.
