I was pretty frustrated that I could not connect my M-Audio Keystation 61 Mk3 to Cakewalk on  new Surface Pro 7.

 

Generally a midi keyboard must have a connection with  an audio interface's midi in and the interface midi out is connected to a computer. Asio driver has nothing to do with the previous connection.

Drivers use is for the functionality of hardware, software, plug ins and things like that.

Central Viet Nam is a very good and interesting place. I've been there 25 years ago..

Because many times there is no hidden automation, no hidden track or no hidden note and none whatsoever and because it is a very long trouble for us all,  I expect that Cakewalk bakers give a gift to choose an end point when and where we want.

I have always toggle the  global FX off when doing any recording, both midi or audio. 

I think it's a good idea. Thanks.

Many little issues  that suddenly appear in Ckewalk, I have to close the project and re - open.

Dowload owner's manual.

The plugins run additional delay. It's fairly common depending on the plugin. They require extra time to do their processing, so in this case that latency is giving the plugin time to fix those clicks before you hear it. You can either freeze those tracks to record, or temporarily disable them to get around it. 

I don''t think so. Playing Dim Pro previously, before adding RX7, was OK.

After adding RX7 in some FX bin, when playing keyboard with Dim Pro, I hear a delay.

Aftert removing RX7 everything is again all right.

Same exact thing in the case of Adaptive Limiter.

I had EZ Drummer and Addictive Drums 2, both good drum sequencers.

Recently I bought Toontrack Superior Drummer 3 that is fabulous.

Lately I added a Dim Pro instance to an already recorded song. Playing the keyborad  I could listen to notes with one second delay! Sob!

I have tried numerous attempts to solve the issue, but of no avail.

Finally at last I''ve found that delay was caused by Izotope RX7 De - Click.

In another song the same issue, but this time was caused by the use of  Adactive Limiter on a bus.

Why those issues happened? Maybe the last november updates?

I can't understand why that happened.

Session Drummer 3 is a very obsolete soft synth which dates back to more than 10 years ago.

With not so many bucks you can afford to very fine and modern vst drums jewels like Xln Addictive Drums 2 or Superior Drummer 3 that surely make you happy.

Have you ever used Control panel and Programs and Feautures?? It is possible that you can find there the Magix driver and remove it.

As anyone can see on your first  photo, Cakewalk says  that the silent bus detected is Master Bus.

On the second photo Cakewalk says that playback timing master is "none" as it is the record timing master.

This clearly says that your DAW is not connected to an Audio Interface.

I think that normalize is not  the real tool to use.

As you can read in the "Mastering" topic in this forum, this kind of result is obtained  with mastering.

The final step of mastering in fact is the use of limiter.

By limiting each song at the same volume level (brick wall), the level of each song will be identical.

If you want some technical details, Sound on Sound did a writeup that should satisfy your curiosity.

Thanks bitflipper. But unfortunately this article is about mix and remix. Not mastering,  that it is a completely different affair.

In the start screen view under New Project there are the Project templates that you find in Cakewalk Content/Sonar Platinum/Projects templates.

When you open one of these Project templates and save as template and send it to Folder Project Files, then this template appears in your Start Screen.

I expected some partecipations with more technical comments. Instead I've found much musical philosophy.

Hello everybody.

I think that it's interesting that every forumist tells his own way of mastering.

Of course UA soundcards are good with CbB...given the price.

First of all I would change your mike lead with a real mike lead.

Done this, I connect the mike directly to the Steinberg interface.

This is the way to start to record a vocal in a professional way.

You don't tell us how high  you hear your voice in the headphone during recording respect to the others tracks.

I swear that since exist the new forum I read the strangest problems i ever heard.

But after you saved your project did you listen if everything was fine?

Or the issue has appeared the next day?

 a USB connection to the computer, but Cakewalk does not seem to recognize the connection. 

I think that rather than  a driver issue is something that has to do with the connection of the audio interface with the DAW.

Because every properly  connection from an audio interface to a computer has to be visible to CbB software.

I think that  currently we have many reverbs more performing than Lexicon.

In my case

 every time I introduce a new VST, launching a new instance of  CbB the program immediately scan the new entry.

From the birth of the new Forum I really read the most incredible things.
