I am completely new to the world of DAWs so apologies in advance for sounding clueless.
I have just installed Cakewalk and I essentially cannot use it at all due to extreme lag with the UI. Anytime I click anything or even try to adjust the window, there is a 4-5 second delay before the action is registered. I am not sure how to fix this or even what settings I should begin to look into. To the best of my knowledge, all settings are at default, and my audio drivers are up to date. Does anyone have any idea what I might try to fix this issue?
In case it is helpful, here are the relevant specs of my PC:
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 2700
RAM: 16 GB DDR4 3200 MHz
Like I said before, I am completely new to this stuff so please let me know if there is any other information I can provide to help diagnose the issue.
