Music Creator Pro went ASIO in 2004 or thereabouts.

The input level for recording is set by whatever interface you're recording through. It can't be set in Cakewalk. Set the Input on track 5 to None.

Many of us use Paint, which comes with almost all Windows machines since the Flintstones were painting on cave walls.

Right. In CbB, it's under Process. Was using SHS 6.

Imagine the heat! There is a movie called Wind Talkers with Adam Beach and Nicolas Cage on this episode in American history. I liked it.

😄 It's in their signature. I was looking all over in their posts to see what they were using and wondering the same thing you were, then I saw it.

If this had been available in the '80s, I'd be a millionaire by now.

I believe the big 'monitor' knob adjusts the sound from the computer and the sound of the input so you can balance the two.

I've been trying to imagine a scenario where this would need to be done. The only thing I can come up with is if a track had an effects tail, such as echo delay or a pedal event that you want to extend into the new, inserted gap. I would split that track beyond the end of any events, then drag its new end point to the left so it's not in the Insert zone, then Insert>Time/Measures the desired amount (I don't think it's in the "Insert" menu anymore?) then drag the end of the other track to where you want it to end.

What device do you have set to play the metronome sounds? A lot of the "bugs" you claim to be experiencing will probably go away if you return to using an external interface, although many folks have used the WASAPI drivers (pilots) with success. I don't use the metronome at all, instead using a drum track (click track) through my external Yamaha keyboard. I'll take a look at it. For the record, Cakewalk by Bandlab has fixed hundreds of bugs that were in earlier SONAR versions.

I remember something like this from 1972. A cartoon in Creem magazine, I think; "101 Strings Play Grand Funk".

I don't ask my food its philosophy before I eat it.

Way back in 2000, I got my first computer and knew nothing about them (a dummy). So, I bought the Windows for Dummies book and one of the first things it says is to close the book and don't open it again until you have a problem.

Cool.

But is that the Presonus ASIO driver included with the Universal Control software from this page? https://www.presonus.com/products/AudioBox-USB-96/downloads Or some generic ASIO driver, such as the RealTek driver included on many computers these days?

And then hit W to rewind, then R to re-record.

Those other guys need nicknames. The ones without nicknames, craigb (ITYRN).

Guitars have fingers?

Don't use plug-ins (VST). 😒 But seriously, more info on your computer system, sound card or audio interface and what plug-ins you're using would help us help you. Plus, this thread is 2 1/2 years-old, and the OP never came back to tell us what happened, so starting a new thread with the pertinent information we need to help you would be better.

There are none. You can contact a mod and see if they'll remove it for you if the post has no value to anyone. But if you solved your problem, posting your solution may help others done the road.

Just a reminder that "opening" and "importing" MIDI will behave differently. What happens if you open those files instead of importing them? Is MIDI chase a part of the GM spec?

Cool! Epic! Even with my bad ears. I just turned it up! Good job.

There may be some confusion in terms here, too. The Main outputs Mark is referring to are the sound device's outputs, not the Master Bus output. In this image, you can see the Master is routed to the Mains, my Focusrite audio interface, and that is set to 0. What do you use to make sound? Your computer sound card or an audio interface designed for recording?

Or, were they zipped and haven't been extracted yet?

Welcome to the forum. It looks like you may have had the TTS-1 General MIDI (GM) soft synth opened by default. Or perhaps the Microsoft GS Wavetable GM synth in your computer. It depends on what the defaults were when you first installed Cakewalk by Bandlab and what you did to it subsequently. Open a project and go to Insert at the top, Soft Synth and select TTS-1. Once it's open, check out the patches in it. There are sounds like Fantasia, Ice Rain, etc., which I believe are standard GM patches.
