Nevermind, I found the issue (looks like Audiostudio160.exe should have been Audiostudio16.exe).

Strange, I'm not sure how this would have changed.

For anybody interested, here is the article I found that helped me fix the problem:

https://www.cakewalk.com/Support/Knowledge-Base/2007013099/Adding-third-party-audio-editing-software-to-SONARs-Utilities-menu

When I select a track or clip and try to open it in Sound Forge via the Utility Menu, I'm getting the following error:

Tool not found: 'C:\Program Files\SOUND FORGE\SOUND FORGE Audio Studio 16.0\Audiostudio160.exe'

Does anybody have instructions for fixing this?

Thanks

I swapped out the Steinberg UR28M for a Zoom U-44 which appears to have resolved the issue, but I'd prefer to use the Steinberg UR28M.

Any suggestions for troubleshooting late buffers?

I've recently migrated my studio onto a new HP laptop, and I noticed I'm getting the occasional crackle sound which corresponds to my late buffer counter climbing.

I noticed that even when Cakewalk is sitting idle that my late buffers are climbing.  My laptop specs are 11th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-1165G7 @ 2.80GHz   2.80 GHz, 32.0 GB, Windows 10 Home version 21H1 and I'm using a Steinberg UR28M interface.  

I tried switching the MaskDropoutDetection setting to True, but it doesn't seem to make a difference.  The crackle sound isn't terrible, but it is frustrating.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

What's the timing reference and routing of MIDI and audio?  Are you saying the sound from an external  hardware synth is sounding ahead of the Cakewalk's audio metronome when enabled on playback with the synth output monitored through Cakewalk? And is the MIDI quantized to the grid in Cakewalk? If you're direct-monitoring the synth and your audio buffer is high, you might conceivably hear the synth a bit ahead of Cakewalk's audio metronome and/or audio tracks playing back, but usually MIDI transmission and synth response delays would mostly cancel out any output latency, and the typical 2-3ms discrepancies would be pretty hard to hear in any case.

Cakewalk has a Timing Offset setting to sync MIDI-driven hardware synths with audio, but usually it's used to do the opposite - delay audio to sync with the delayed synth response. In any case, you'll want to understand exactly where the sync error is being introduced before you go tweaking anything. Timing Offset can have undesirable effects in other contexts, so I'd start be making sure it's 0ms.

Preferences > Audio > Sync and Caching > Timing Offset (msec)

If we're talking about soft synths the above is all irrelevant.

Thanks, it was an offset setting that must have carried over from Sonar.

I'm having some issues where the midi notes seem to playback a hair earlier than when I feel like I recorded them.

The midi playback seems a hair early.  I think I had to mess with this in Sonar X2 once upon a time, but can't remember how for the life of me.

Any tips for tightening midi recording/playback would be greatly appreciated!

probably your workspace setting

Either create a custom workspace with "Control Bar Layout" not loading from the workspace or set workspaces to None

X2 did not have workspaces.

 

Perfect, thanks!

Hello, I'm new to CbB.

When I choose which control bar modules I want open (only a few), Cakewalk does not save the setting and the next time I open the project all modules are open.

Any way to change this behavior?  I think Sonar X2 remembered this setting.

Thanks!

I'm not sure if this forum supports older Sonar versions, but I'll throw it out there.  I'm upgrading my laptop and migrating my Sonar X2 from my old Windows 7 to a new Windows 10 environment.  I've installed Sonar X2 32 bit version onto the Windows 10 laptop and copied my 100+ VST .dll files onto the new laptop.  Sonar doesn't find the bulk of these VSTs when I use the Cakewalk Plugin Manager utility.  I've moved the .dll files to the default VST folder but it's still not working.  I seem to remember this being a straightforward process last time I did this, but that was years ago.  Is there something I'm missing?

Thanks.
