When you say “Cakewalk Freezing”, can you be working away, and then the mouse and keyboard stops responding, and you’re left with a static image of what ever is on your screen, cakewalk session and all?

That, to me, sounds like a hardware issue.

As far as the “There is not enough memory available”, check to make sure nothing else is using the Axiom 61 driver.  I have seen other posts that indicate that Google Chrome might be a culprit here.

If you are using Google Chrome

1. In chrome navigate to 'Settings > Advanced Settings > Content Settings'.
2. Locate the 'MIDI devices full control' section.
3. Enable the 'Do not allow any sites to use system exclusive messages to access MIDI devices' option.

Personally, I would also disable some of those background tasks tat you don't need to be running.  (like Avidappmanhelper, GPUtweak, Monitor, etc)

ASGT.exe is a ASUS GPU Tweak  used for over clocking your graphics card.  This should not be required on a DAW PC.  In fact, I would remove this.  In fact, overclocking  too far can lead to freezes.   Personally, On a DAW PC, I would set everything to stock and not overclock anything what so ever. (CPU, GPU, RAM).

If none of these help, and if you are confident,  maybe open up your PC and remove and reinsert your ram modules.  Also, if you have a graphics card, try the same with that.  Remember, only if you are confident getting to this level.  Otherwise, get someone you trust as certified to do this for you.

Thanks for this! trying the Chrome thing now - error be gone!

got tired of it and just got movavi - simple, fairly cheap, and has simple enough audio edit options.  was able to import the clip I edited in CW and beat matched it.  render time seems longer but long is long so no big deal.  i think CW just was crapping on the 6 hour length

checked out ffmpeg.  seems a bit cryptic.  It looks like a real bear bones opensource utility.  I actually need to edit 2 min of audio in a 6 hour file.  I just tested a 10 min sample in CW and it worked.  then a full length - zero audio.  am I maxing it's capabilities?

I will try that.  just exported audio-only, and the output is fine.

Just to make sure, have you opened the resultant video in a video editor to confirm that the video file indeed contains a silent audio track?

Hi Promidi - the closest thing I have to an editor is the Windows photo editor - of course it does not give you that detail.  Any recommendation for a freeware or low cost editor? I don't have a sophisticated need.  Thx

I just managed to open one of the exports in a converter tool.  it shows no audio.  somehow either the audio mixdown is "blank" or it's just not being included in the export.  hm... I could manually mixdown the audio and then try..

totally stumped.  I imported a long video into Cakewalk so I could add some effects to one short segment (about 2 min) of audio.  plays perfectly within Cakewalk with effect automation, etc.  here is the stumper:

no mater what options or formats I try, when I export the video with the new edited audio - the resulting video file is totally silent - no audio at all!  I managed at one point to export a version with 10:10 min of audio but the rest of it is totally silent.  have not been able to repeat it.  

I have tried  "edit / select all / export / video"

I tried not having anything selected.

net result is a silent movie.  in every case. you see it mixing down audio followed by encoding video....ideas? gotta be something simple! 

(FYI: i did notice Cakewalk had created a "MX1mtbyi4.WAV" file in the project audio folder.  i checked the properties and it has size of zero bits.)

Thanks!  I noticed the new Cakewalk Audio folder (C drive) has many more sub-folders than my old one on my D drive.  Is it OK to copy the additional folders to D and then change the settings in Cakewalk?

With my Sonar Platinum installation, I spread files across 3 drives - Program & plugins on C, Cakewalk content & samples on D, project, audio, and video on E.    Cakewalk bandlab does not let you chose the locations during install (greyed out).  

Can I move the folders and change it?

Is there any risk to doing this?

Why does it not give you the option to customize?
