Unfortunately, the RAM is not upgradable.

Dumb question i am sure - do i have to run the cakewalk project and the LatencyMon at the same time?

Regarding the VST/effects you've listed, as per the OP I am having the issue with complex projects aswell as very simple ones.

Here is the report - I have changed the preferences->driver settings->mixing latency to the following

Buffers in PLayback = 2 (can't alter this)

Buffer size - 5.3ms, 513 samples

and Asio reported Latencies are

input 4.6ms, 440 samples

output 6.6ms, 536 samples

Yet, i am still having problems with it

MEASURED INTERRUPT TO USER PROCESS LATENCIES
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The interrupt to process latency reflects the measured interval that a usermode process needed to respond to a hardware request from the moment the interrupt service routine started execution. This includes the scheduling and execution of a DPC routine, the signaling of an event and the waking up of a usermode thread from an idle wait state in response to that event.

Highest measured interrupt to process latency (µs):   546.10
Average measured interrupt to process latency (µs):   10.702668

 REPORTED HARD PAGEFAULTS
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Hard pagefaults are events that get triggered by making use of virtual memory that is not resident in RAM but backed by a memory mapped file on disk. The process of resolving the hard pagefault requires reading in the memory from disk while the process is interrupted and blocked from execution.

NOTE: some processes were hit by hard pagefaults. If these were programs producing audio, they are likely to interrupt the audio stream resulting in dropouts, clicks and pops. Check the Processes tab to see which programs were hit.

Process with highest pagefault count:                 microsoft.photos.exe

Hi all,

Im running 2022.02 on windows 10.

Cakewalk seems to have developed an issue recently where it won't playback properly, and it seems to do this on both complex projects with lots of audio and vsts running as well as simple projects with just a simple loop or suchlike - way i'm getting at is the content of the project seems to bear no influence on the problem.

The issue is, sometimes I will load a project and press play, the transport bar will not move and it'll play the first second or so and then the audio will stop suddenly.   Sometimes shutting down cakewalk and starting again will fix it, other times it won't.  I have also tried running Cakewalk as admin, but that doesn't seem to help the issue.

Anyone else seen this issue?

Hi all, first time poster here.

Ive been using CW for a while and really like it, however a recent issue is really stressing me out.

When I go to add track > instrument > advanced, the instrument Track Per Output option is greyed out.  This has only happened recently and I've no idea why this has happened (bug in update?) The button does not work, but I still have option to create folder or split instrument Track.

I can work around it using insert > soft synth, but why has this happened?

How can I fix it?
