    PROBLEM SOLVED. You can call me a jack@$$ if you like. But I have NEVER seen any command that combines clicking on something while pressing a KEY. Keyword here is KEY. I am been expecting to see a drop down of sorts with a delete button but I have just realized after looking through all these comments, it has dawned on me to press the DELETE KEY ON MY KEYBOARD. Sorry, but that was not obvious. Yeah, "press" is different than "click" but I don't focus on such trivial semantics *sarcasm*. I need to see the word KEY!!! Press the DELETE KEY on your TYPING KEYBOARD. Thanks yall.

    Ooh! It was checked. I unchecked it. What does that mean? What is zero crossings? Am I not going to be able to cross fade now? Thank you.

    Thanks errbody. I guess there is something wrong with my Cakealk since the delete option does not appear for me when I left click the marker. And while we're on the subject of markers, as a new user, I was a bit disappointed that you can't color the markers.

    Thanks Jose. Are you telling me that is the only way to delete a marker? I looked at the Marker module and wow, surprise, no delete option. Maybe Cakewalk secretly does not want its users to delete markers? Maybe that's how they make their money? Marker royalties.

    I don't know what I'm doing wrong now. It's taking me HOURS to do simple edits. 1. I realized that when I zoom in to maximum level, the beginnings of my clips are not snapping precisely to the grid. I have my snap setting to almost max extreme. 2. For some reason, I can't get the end of the clip to snap to the grid. It either passes it and crossfades into the next clip or it doesn't reach the grid. It's only a tiny amount probably not audible and I can just turn off snap and get it there manually but why is it doing this?

    Why in the world would I have to consult the User's Manual to delete a marker? I mean how hard could something like that be really? You left click and the box pops up and maybe there's a delete button in there? Nope. Ok, You right click on the marker and there is a delete option. Nope! Hmm... Double click it maybe? Nope! Just *****ed up all my track heights. Gotta go redo all those now. Ok, I give up. Let's check the manual. To delete a marker 1. Press and hold the left mouse button while pointing to a marker in the Time Ruler. 2. Press DELETE, and release the mouse button. Ok so....... how long do I hold the left mouse button? 5 seconds? No. 30 seconds? Hm. No. 5 Minutes? ***** THAT! OK, I GIVE UP. HOW DO YOU DELETE A FRIGGIN MARKER????? Is there a special class I have to take? Marker Deletion in Cakewalk 101? SMDH. 😡🤬😠

    Hi I think this post belongs here. Apologies if I misunderstood. Regarding the menu: The "Project" menu item has 9 items under its menu, 5 of which start with "Insert". Wouldn't it be more intuitive to put those items under the "Insert" main menu item so it doesn't take newbies like myself a half hour to find something that should be easy to find? *Thinking to myself, "I want to INSERT some extra bars into my project; why isn't it under the INSERT menu item??"* Also, since Aim Assist is something that you VIEW, WTH is it doing under the Edit menu????? Sure, a newbie will eventually learn all these things, eventually. But until then, if they have to struggle to get going, it can leave one with a bad taste and if they are not patient, they will just move on to another DAW.

    Thanks all. A lot of interesting stuff here. Mark, I have recently made the switch to Windows 10 (kicking and screaming) and I think this problem likely started since then so you might be on to something here. Aw shucks. I'm looking at my Device Manager before I install the link you sent and it appears I already have this installed. Unless it's an old version? Should I still install it? siordan, This unit has USB2 out in the back. You think that will be faster than FireWire? Bob, I have one instance of Alterboy, 3 x TH3, one AUX track with Soundspot Nebula, and one with Arturia Rev Plate 140. Wow, I didn't realize how light I was on plugins! I am using the Prochannel on many track though. Only 30ish tracks total. Something for sure isn't right here.

    Sometimes it's just easier to smash Ctrl D a bunch of times instead of lassoing stuff and trying to drop it a precise area. Ctrl D is supposed to duplicate the item right after the copied item rather than to a further location.

    Error Code 1 Audio processing took longer than the buffers allotted time slice. Increase the Buffer Size value in Edit > Preferences > Audio - Driver Settings. When I tap the space bar to play I have to wait about 2 seconds for it to go. My buffer is at 1024 with 65ms of round trip latency. Obviously, you can't record audio like that. Four MIDI tracks and I froze them. And not a ton of plugins. My project is 48k/24bit. MY computer specs in my signature. Memory/CPU: Appx 60%/30% I've had this same problem in my previous project as well. What is going on here? I have had WAY more stuff going on in other DAWS like Reaper and Waveform but not this bad.

    Oh cool. I'll try that. Thanks @SteveC!

    So I'm editing a MIDI clip. I wanted to copy a note in front of itself to have these two notes in a row so I clicked the note to highlight it and pressed Ctrl D to duplicate it expecting the note to duplicate on the same clip, right? NOPE! It copied the note, and put that note on its very own tiny little clip so now if I want to move the clip around, I realized I'll have to bounce everything to one clip. Never had this issue on other DAWs. I was very confused at first wondering how those random notes showed up UNDER my midi clip but I then realized what happened so now I'll have to manually ctrl drag the notes I want to copy. Not a big deal in this scenario but it might be cumbersome in a different scenario if I wanted to duplicate many notes. I guess I'll have to Ctrl D them and boucne right after. Sorry but none of this seems intuitive or a streamlined workflow.

    Sorry, I just realized I can edit my posts. DUH. And I also just realized I can't delete my posts. Sorry.
  14. Helos Bonos
    Sorry. I can't delete this post. I'm new here.

    I'm following the instructions from page 679 in the manual to a T from what I can tell. I click delete and nothing happens. What am I doing wrong this time? Edit: Interesting. The part I wanted to delete was a different time signature. When I created a new time signature 4 bars earlier, it removed the time (and audio clip) from that space. Now it's the way I wanted it. Maybe that's why it wouldn't delete the measures? Because of the time sig change? BTW, why aren't we able to change the measure number in the meter/key window? I had to delete one and create a new one where I want it rather than just changing the measure number. Seems a bit cumbersome. Edt #2 Oh I forgot to mention. I think the reason I had those extra measures to delete was because when I tried to paste in some clips using Ctrl V, it added the extra measures and not the clips. It happens every time I try to paste using Ctrl V. It just doesn't work. It only works when I right click> edit> paste. I always have to undo but I think that time I forgot to undo and then not long after, I see these extra measures that I know were not there before.

    I guess I'll have to keep a look out for this notification. I've done this more than a few times and never noticed a notification.

    OMG maybe CbB just isn't for me. I'm struggling with one thing after another. Now I dropped a one shot snare onto a track. I created a few bars worth and I bounced them all into one clip. Now I want to loop it across but every time I try to turn it into a Grooveclip, it stretches itself out of sync with my project. So I tried bouncing it while it was elongated and then Grooveclipping it but it just unchecks itself when I try to drag the edge to repeat the loop. SMH.
  18. Helos Bonos
    Thank you for your response Kevin. It is already checked.
  19. Helos Bonos
    Sometimes I open up CbB before I turn on my audio interface. So when I I look in my preferences, my AI doens't show. Is there any way to refresh this so that it shows up after I turn on my AI without closing down CbB and reopening it? Never had this problem with other DAWs.
  20. Helos Bonos
    Thanks Chuckebaby and Scook. I didn't see your responses until after the fact. Very well explained and exactly the case (A or C).
  21. Helos Bonos
    Hey Kenny, yes. Thanks so much. So the red fader channels have to do with one's soundcard outputs. Not busses. I'm just used to using Reaper which has a designated master track that is locked hard right or left on the console depending on how you set it up. After reading your response, I ended up creating a master bus and went to each track and redirected the outputs to it. Easy peasy. I think what I did when I created the project was just deleted the 3 busses with the intent of not wanting to mess with them on my first CbB project to keep things simple. So much clearer now. Thanks again. BTW, what's the purpose of the preview track?
  22. Helos Bonos
    Can someone please explain to me what those two channels are on the right with the double red faders? I thought it was my master bus but I am unable to add any plugins to it and cannot figure out what to do with it!
  23. Helos Bonos
    Thank you Scook for the explanation. Ok, I've updated CbB. Now I can hear all my samples! But on some of them there is a pulsing stutter. And when I drop in in the track, it plays somewhat normally but the sound drops out randomly. Any clue what is happening now?
  24. Helos Bonos
    Thank you Chuckebaby and Scook. I will update CbB (Why not CW?). I never heard of acidized. Maybe that is the issue?
  25. Helos Bonos
    In the media browser, I'm clicking on each sample. Some play, some don't. Doesn't matter length, sample rate, bit rate, or bit depth. Also, I was trying samples in another folder and the ones that played back all had a stutter, the same speed. Is there any view of the waveform of the sample to show a visual of the length and transients? UGH, I have a feeling I'm gonna have to go back to Reaper. I was really hoping this was going to work out but right out the gate I am having so much trouble.
