Hi Folks
I recently made the switch from Sonar X1 to Cakewalk by BandLab, aided by the purchase of a new DAW.
I'm an experienced user of X1 and earlier versions but I just can't figure out what is going on here.
When I installed BandLab it suggested that I use the WASAPI Shared Driver mode instead of ASIO.
My new DAW is Windows 11 and I notice there aren't any official drivers for the UA-25EX or ASIO for Win11 but they support Win10. So I installed them.
I have opened up an existing project and when trying to record Audio, either using my Mic or Guitar, it only records "what it hears". I have tried switching between the WASAPI or the ASIO driver modes and neither seem to work for me. I can't even hear the mic or guitar through the soundcard, which made me think that it wasn't installed properly, so I reinstalled it, to no avail. If I tap on the mic I see the peak light on the UA-25EX go red. That tells me the card is registering the audio.
And finally, if I click on input echo on my track, which I sometimes use for tracking vocals to add some reverb, I get this endless loop that sounds like an angry rattlesnake until I turn the option off.
Any ideas at all would be appreciated.
