Are you saying it is too loud compared to the other tracks you have recorded?  If that is the case you should just be able to turn the channel volume down or, at the top of the console strips, there is an input gain you can turn down.

Did you install Cakewalk using Administrator privilege's or do you run it in Admin mode? I

Really depends on what you want to do. If you want to send a bunch of tracks to be processed the same, for example to level out a bunch of background vocals, then send them to a bus and put the effect on the bus.  If you only want the effect on one track then just insert it on that track. There really are not many hard rules, if it gets the effect you are after.

Did you see this in the user's manual? It should be able to do transport control, mute, solo and some other things I would image.

Here is an older thread about it as well.

What are the project settings as far as Bit depth and Sample Rate? Cakewalk will convert any imported audio to the project sample rate. The there is the "double Presicion" checkbox and other things that might affect an export.

from the Manual: https://www.cakewalk.com/Documentation?product=Cakewalk&language=3&help=SoftSynths.04.html#:~:text=Click the PlugIns tab followed,on the pop-up menu.

Hope this is what you are trying to do. It you have a simple instrument track (Midi and instrument combined) you should be able to right click on the track and then select "replace synth" to pick a new one.

Another option is to duplicate your midi to a new midi track, insert a new synth and then point midi track to the new instrument.

+1 on Andy's comments. Either a large diaphragm condenser mic or good dynamic mic through an audio interface is ideal. The Blue Yeti is locked to 16-bit, 48KHz, so another thing to try is make sure the DAW project reflects that before recording, and probably WASAPI shared for drivers settings. You may be seeing mismatch in bit depth/sample rate, but even if this improves you are not going to do your audio recordings proper justice. Andy's recommendations are spot on.

While there are better mics you should be able to get a usable signal and output with this mic without sounding muffled.  Make sure you have the correct driver selected for you mic and that your project bit depth and sample rate match what the mic can do.

First off, make sure that you have the most recent PreSonus Asio driver installed. Also, make sure that there are no other rogue ASIO or ASIO4All drivers on your system.  From preferences in Cakewalk make sure that you are using the ASIO driver model and have the Presonus selected.

If you are still getting clicks and pops on record check that directly monitoring through the Presonus, not through Cakewalk, sounds as you would expect.

If this all fails then you may need to download and run Resplendence LatencyMon program to see what in your system might be causing these issues.

As far a Cakewalk quitting on you, you would need to capture a dump file to send to Cakewalk staff to see if they can determine why it would be quitting. This is usually due to a audio interface driver issue or a plugin.

This is the job of a control surface in cakewalk.  You could try to setup a generic control surface and then map the notes that your pad's send out to move the selected track.  I don't know the details of this but maybe the documentation would give you some clues.

I can't find a way to remove them all but you could bypass them all and then select all the clips and bounce them. That would get rid of the region fx without applying it to the clips.

Sorry, I don't know how to fix what you are describing.  You are saying that the now time scrolls but it not smooth and goes in spurts right?  Could be a graphics issue or a CPU or Hardrive load issue.

Can you create a new empty project, jut put in a single audio file or midi instrument and see if it plays back smooth or does it do the same thing?

Sounds like your guitar's pickups are picking up a radio station?

Similiar question here.

You must be opening a project or a template that contains these instruments. Cakewalk does not load VST's just upon opening.  If you no longer use these instruments then you could try to delete them off your hardrive.  If you still use them but just not in the particular project then make sure you remove not just the track but the instrument themselves from the synth rack.

This seems like an issue you would need to ask Donner about. Cymbal chokes are just another midi note that needs to be mapped to the correct articulation in desired drum software.

You can check what midi note the cymbal choke registers as by recording the midi of your drum controller and seeing what note is recorded when you do the choke.

I know in a midi track you can apply swing by quantizing the midi notes and specifying a swing value. Don't know of any way to do the whole project unless you can select all the tracks and apply the quantize to all of them at once.

Hard to tell why this would happen but it looks like it did create a crash dump. Send that to the developer of the plug-in and they may be able to tell why it is crashing and fix it.  Otherwise, try to re-install your plugin. Completely un-install it and then re-install it.

Are you saying the midi files have some sort of time offset built into them? I have never heard of that. I just grab a midi file and drop it where I want it usually.

Did you record to a removable drive or have a removable drive or thumb drive connected to your machine?  You can use a search tool like "Everything" to search all your hard drives for any wave files. Easier if you know the track names or clip names that were created.

Do you have a backup?

I looked for "Archive"  shortcuts after seeing your post abut could not find any as well.

I'm considering a Nektar SE49 as well.  I'm a total beginner with MIDI and Cakewalk and want to keep the price down for now.  I was wondering whether the DAW features in the LX series give you anything that isn't already provided in Cakewalk itself.  Is it just the convenience of having physical controls on the keyboard itself?  What am I missing?

Thx.

It just give you the physical controls rather then using a mouse. Although you can also assign knobs and slider to control synth parameters, effect parameters etc.

Do you have a midi device show up in the Midi->Devices? I think you have to have a midi interface show up and be selected for you to assign an instrument to it.

https://www.cakewalk.com/Documentation?product=Cakewalk&language=3&help=Dialogs2.059.html#:~:text=Cakewalk lets you assign a,see during your Cakewalk session.

Is this a stereo mix or do you have stems for all the instruments?  Also, you can try different offline rendering methods to see which sounds the best.

PS. When you say 74% I am assuming you mean you slowed the audio down?

This is probably not the sub-forum for a questions like this. You will get more attention in the  https://discuss.cakewalk.com/index.php?/forum/2-cakewalk-by-bandlab/ forum.

When you hit apply it will apply the setting changes but not close the dialog. You have  to hit "OK" to apply and close.

Not that I am aware of. It supports VST2/3  and some older DirectX plugins. I don't know what a *.spp file is.
