USB ports and cables also play a small role in this, so try a different USB port. I think the DUO is use USB2.0 ports. You could also try this with your TASCAM. 

Were you recording vocals? 

Thanks.
Yes I record vocals and the virtual instruments with my keystation 49es keyboard. I only get "zero" latency when turning effects off.
This on both interfaces.
Both interfaces are connected to USB 2.0 ports.
I don't know if in fact it's not a matter of Cakewalk integration with the Asio drivers of each interface.

Thanks a lot for the help.
Yes I have the M-track drivers correctly installed.
The video you attached is excellent and a tremendous way to get the interface installed.
I don't really know what's going on.
I thought the latency when recording instruments via my midi keyboard would be improved, but it remained the same as it had with the Tascam.
I don't agree that the issue is just the price of the interfaces, because if the equipment establishes that it can record with the settings it says it has, there shouldn't be many of the problems I found.
I don't know if it wouldn't be a matter of Cakewalk's own "relationship" with the Asio drivers of the interfaces. This is beyond my technical technical knowledge involved.

Basically you have gone from a $400 interface to a $70 interface and you’re finding a difference in quality .  Seems to be expected to me 

 

Thanks for replying, but do you think that's just the explanation: price?

I have a Tascam US-600 that has already been discontinued and I purchased this interface. I did some tests and comparing with the Tascam and I came to the conclusion that the Tascam, even discontinued, is much better and has much more features than the M-Track DUO. I have resumed using the Tascam in the studio and am using the M-Track Duo only to record external work and respecting the simple specifications of the equipment.

Some problems I found in the comparison:

1) When commanding the recording of a track, a click is inserted. That's why I couldn't command the recording at a time closer to where it will start. I had to command before and after to remove the click from the recording.

2) In the middle of recording using a condenser microphone SAMSON - C01 Studio Condenser, noises are generated at random times, as a kind of saturation (all care with proximity, cables, etc. has been taken). It seems to be something from M-Track, because when I record with Tascam it doesn't happen.

3) I had a lot of problems recording instruments with my Keystation 49es due to latency when recording with effects. I was only able to "zero" the latency when recording without effects in the project. On the other hand, I started to verify that when recording MIDI, several Pitch and Modulation commands are inserted without me having moved any of the controls on the equipment.

Anyway. I know there are several related situations, but they all appeared only after I installed the M-Track Duo whose hope was to overcome a discontinued interface like the Tascam US-600 to which I returned and resumed my projects.

I appreciate if the friends of the forum can bring their opinions.

I was know about this notice. How is the opinion the friends this forum.

Today, when opening a project with HOFA IQ-Reverb v2.0.5, Cakewalk build 27.12.0.102 completely crashes. I checked it several times on different projects, specially created an absolutely empty project without any other processing, added this plug-in to the tracks, to the BUS, save the project, reopen it - the result always crashes. The project normally opens in safe mode when this plugin fails to load, but it always crashes with it.  I have already sent a report to the Bandlab support center, but just in case, I'll post the same here. I am attaching a error screen and mini-dump file, I hope for some clarification.

I know this is not the best solution, but you might be able to overcome these crashes if you work with the error handler initialization variables. I think it's this one: ExceptionHandlingSeverity

Oh ! Ok.

When docked with the browsers using the synth rack, click on a synth then click "D" in the image to open the menu with the connect/disconnect option.

For more info see http://www.cakewalk.com/Documentation?product=Cakewalk&language=3&help=Browser.11.html

For me, when I click "D" what appears is the screen to the side.

Likely plug-in related.

Disconnect the synths one at a time until the spike goes away.

Connect/Disconnect toggle is in the synth rack menu (D in the image below) when docked with the browsers. When undocked or in the multidock, use the power button next to each synth.

Thanks for your help.

Can you attach the image where I can disconnect the synthesizers?

Why on my installation Cakewalk performance monitoring always puts one of the most demanded cores as shown in the image below?

Is there a way to identify why the application is saturating only the same core always?

I enter this topic because I believe that a doubt about performance/CPU can also be clarified here. If not, I apologize and will create a topic of my own.

My question:

Why in my installation Cakewalk's performance monitoring always puts one of the cores being most demanded, as shown in the image below?

2. You can't, although I'm sceptical as to the usefulness of this in practice.  It's unlikely you'd use exactly the same fx preset for any significant number of tracks.  If you do want this, you can CTRL + drag the effect from one track fx bin to another track's fx bin.
 

Thanks,

1. You can only do this from the FX Browser, not the console view.

------> It's a shame, because I think the operation in the console view would also bring a gain.

2. You can't, although I'm sceptical as to the usefulness of this in practice.  It's unlikely you'd use exactly the same fx preset for any significant number of tracks. (...)

------->  Because improbability happens to me in some situations. I have a preset that handles VOICE recordings, for example. They are different recordings of voices/vocals that I prefer to apply the preset to each TRACK than to put it on a BUS that will receive all the voices and whose mix I sometimes don't like.

2 (...) you can CTRL + drag the effect from one track fx bin to another track's fx bin.

-------> that's what I've been doing.

You can also put an effect on multiple tracks by dragging from the browser, then holding down CTRL before you drop. Just remember to press CTRL after you've started dragging:

Very good tip.
Questions:
1) Can this operation be done only with the FX Browser? Not directly in Console view?
2) How could I do the same operation using my FX PRESETs?

I encouraged the user to look inside themselves and their own system for the cause of the problem.

Hmmmm. In fact, most of the performance problem solving starts there, but, not always, that's where they are.
In my case, in fact, I see a drop in performance in this version.
I followed some msmcleod tips...

"
‎Try it‎
‎follow: 1. Disable waveform contour drawing in Display Strip Menu, display >Display->Show Waveform Contours‎

‎2. Turn off "Display Clip Attenuation" inside Perferences->Customization->Display OR... Reduce the envelope attenuation display resolution by setting ClipGainWaveformAccuracy=4 inside Preferences Startup File->File->Initialization. This controls how often the waveform envelope is “sampled” to reflect the clip gain/pan automation in the waveform display. A value of 1 is the greatest precision (most CPU), while a value of 8 is the least precision (less CPU). This does not affect playback, only the display.‎"

These tips from him within the application itself improved performance.

Such problems did not exist in the previous version.

Even so, thank you for your kind response. Thanks.

I wasn't giving guidance, I was answering a specific question.

I'd have thought that after buying a piece of equipment you'd at least read the user guide that came with it.  

And if you'd bothered to read the Cakewalk user guide, you'd have found the answer I posted as well.

 

 

Hi, I appreciated your reply. At no time did I criticize what you answered. On the contrary, I complemented the information you brought with another one that seemed to complement the operation sequence.

Regarding the documentation, we know that, even though it is consistent, often the approach brought is not understood by all users. If that were the case, there would not be the existence and survival of FORUNS like this one.

Could you give me the direct link to the part of the documentation you refer to?

Thanks. Its help is always present and constant for users who, even if "bothering" to look for information in the manual, sometimes do not find what is present in detail by the application developers.

Note that the information contained in the Manufacturer's Manual the only information that appears on installation in SONAR is the one below. I have not found any that indicate I should access the Korg Control Center for this. If you can help me by indicating where this information is, I would like to thank you once again.

On the nanoKONTROL 2,  you can use the Cycle button as a shift button:

Hold down Cycle then press Track " > "   to switch to buses
Hold down Cycle then press Track " < "   to switch back to tracks

FYI - all of the shortcuts are as follows:

Thank you, but some details were missing from your guidance that I ended up discovering.

It is necessary to enter the Korg Control Editor and activate the general configuration of Nano Kontrol 2 in order for it to be used by SONAR !

Certainly it should be simple to configure to set or "position" the Nano Control 2 for use on MASTER buses, etc.

Jumping between tracks from 8 to 8 tracks is simple, but I couldn't figure out how, instead of jumping between tracks, position yourself on the buses and skip between them.

Initial setup is for the tracks.

Moving between tracks and sets of 8 tracks.

How to configure so that the movement cycle starts to be in the buses?
