Hi all, I now hear a dry signal and wet signal when tracking guitar with a 3rd party gtr plug in (never happened before w/same plug-in). I first noticed this after installing thunderbolt. I also noticed that in preferences/ mixing latency, the buffer slider is grayed out yielding to making such changes in ASIO. Some of these observations may be irreverent. The guitar is recording only the wet sound but I'm not digging hearing the wet/dry mixture while tracking. Ideas? thanks, Kawika

Is it possible to bypass all audio FX (using fx button), except the the track you are recording? There have been times I wanted to free up resources by bypassing teh FX, but I wanted them (FX) on the track I was recording and monitoring e.g., a guitar plug in. thanks, David

I'm all set...thanks!

Thanks...yea, that is the problem :Only USB is an option in Windows....must be some extra moves in installing the TB driver. thanks

I have installed thunderbolt software and hardware. It seems as though Cakewalk-BL is not "seeing" thunderbolt: When I click Cakewalk's Audio driver settings/Asio Panel? I see " Antelope Audio Goliath USB ASIO Control Panel" Also... USB rather than TB are asterisked in Antelope control panel's DAW in and DAW out. any suggestions? Thanks!

rfssongs, I hear you regarding feel. Sometimes just a few ms loses the attack, or perceived as such by me. Although not as inspiring, I have had good results with going direct and applying the FX afterward, example solo on David Gale, False Hope.... just released.

Base 57, Yea....I guess they had to be talking about their (Anteope) FX. I have another email in to them for clarification. That's good to hear re: the guitar FX are happening. I was wondering about all of the Antelope FX. Truth be told, I have just used Goliath like a analog machine. I was able to do basic mapping in their control panel, and I 've been using miked guitars through fenders and Marshalls, or apply soft-gtr-FX afterward.. Ok...so input/FX/out "ish" to use Antelope FX. thanks man!

Thanks scook, I am contemplating your info... Rfsongs....so you are not using Gtr software while tracking? thanks!

Ok, thanks Base 57. Yea, I was talking about 3rd party VST FX. I should have been clearer. Regarding your last line, the "round trip/T-bolt" idea........ Does that line- up with Antelope's remarks? I was able to get the following feedback: "I'd suggest monitoring from the control panel of the Goliath, instead of the DAW, " I'm not sure what that set-up exactly entails? Do you know? thanks, Kawika

Thanks, All good information to consider

Hey B57, Route to one of the FX?....Even though I'm not using an Antelope Effect? thanks, Kawika

Thanks guys, but I'm not mid-project and therefore have the luxury of experimenting with min variables: Just one track with a midi instrument or one track with guitar plug i.e., S-gear. How do I monitor via the interface thus not engaging the input echo as stated in the Cakewalk help module when you hover over the input echo "Many audio interfaces have an option to do this (input monitoring) automatically at the hardware level" ? thanks!

thanks!

Hi, Back on a quest for least latency. On my antelope Goliath there is a choice between USB and Oven. I don't know if this is relevant to latency, but I noticed with Sonar I was able to use "Oven". With BL it kicks back to USB (and then back to "oven when I'm out of Cakewalk (on youtube for example). Does anybody know what "oven " means in this context? thanks, Kawika

Oh, oK.....didn't realize how small the files are.......yes, both, (makes sense)....Thanks!

When I have a choice downloading a plug-in, should I choose both VST2 and VST3 (eating up HD space) or just VST-3. What is the conventional wisdom here? thanks, Kawika

Thanks on the higher sample rate!

I may be getting greedy, as there are no issues, currently, but I was wondering : I have 2 buffers chosen in "buffers in playback Que".....and after clicking ASIO Panel I noticed I am in the "safe" mode. Should I keep both as is?

Thanks rsinger. I'll be watchful. Jim, No I was not using headphones. I have wondered about the zero latency for Goliath, as it is printed on their hardware. So it is when monitoring via headphones (good to know)? I think I'm good now: just sliding the buffer all the way to fast worked (from RT 23.3 ms to 3.9 ms).

Thanks guys. It is ASIO (Goliath interface). I decreased the buffer in Cakewalk Driver settings to fastest. I will see if that helped. The roundtrip is 3.9 ms 170 samples. Clicking the ASIO Panel states: Safe mode engaged (which makes a big difference in output latency). Thanks

When using a guitar plug-in and echo -on, there is a very short delay, almost imperceptible, but there. Easiest to hear when I can hear the guitar acoustically and the plug-in sound at an even level. Where or what would be the first place to look to correct this? thanks!

Winkpain, I'm in a similar related boat. I have an Impulse 49. Are you able to assign CC# to any of the features (e.g., tremolo) of your soft synths? thanks, Kawika

I have a drummer in Nashville and I am in California. He uses Logic, and I will be mixing on CakewalkBL. What is the path of least resistance. I'm thinking he can just send me a dropbox folder with the separate tracks e.g., hat, snare, tom..... Yes? thanks, Kawika

ED, nope. Dad was a professor at UNC. take care....

Thanks Grem. I may have just went direct on the solo, I'll check tomorrow; however, at 2:25 I bring in some distorted gtrs----That is definitely S-gear, and ,I think, a good example.
