I had an old MAudio Fasttrack that did that. The inputs on the back continued to work fine. The ones that didn't have preamps. But the ones on the front that had preamps went bad. Took a number of years and heavy use. I continued to use it past that point, but the writing was on the wall. Could be the phantom power. Have you tried using mics that do not require it so that you disable the phantom?

I think it is in your preamp in the interface.

Idk how to use it as both controller and instrument at the same time. @Noel Borthwick? @scook?

So if you have a separate midi track from the synth track (I recommend this), you see level on the midi track bouncing but no level on the track with the synth on it... Then I recommend checking properties > Midi > control surfaces and make sure no surfaces are checked. This will route the midi to the controller not to the instrument track you thought you were routing it to.

Can you post the recorded file? It might help us understand what the issue might be.

I'm suspicious of the sample rate solution. If you have distortion and it isn't digital clipping then it is the Mic or the preamp causing the distortion... Assuming you aren't using compressors or eqs before digitizing. So if the distortion is mic or preamp driven, increasing sample rate cannot help resolve it.

You can save templates with fx in any order.

Wow. I remember lusting after that gear when it was new! Very generous.

The duration of saves for Cakewalk are mostly driven by the amount of midi in the project.

Anyway, F*, I'm sorry you lost your gear. If I was rich, I would fix it for you.

How do they know?

Did you move on to something new you prefer?

I use an fcb 1010. Got mine used. There are tons of videos out there. This gives me stomps for 100 fx and 20 expression pedals. I keep one bank for controlling the Looper. Basically, you check the midi input on the thu vst. Then, you send a midi device to it. Last, click learn in thu, stomp your midi pedal, click ok.

Happened to me last night. 😁 The previous night i ended my practice rolling of the volume on my guitar. So, i turned the guitar back up and problem solved. I'm not meaning to be glib. Check your signal path. Where are you getting signal? Where does it stop?

It's interesting. I use a midi pedal to trigger it. If you use an array of th3s, the same pedals work all of them, allowing you to loop many tracks together.

Mic the instruments first. Not critical but a suggestion.

Touch is so much fun with synths... Especially xy boxes and like in rapture pro... Ooh so fun!

The main answer is that touch isn't much used by active users. I'm one of the folks who has a touch screen and folks do use it for various things. Many of us let them track what we use touch for. I guess it proves to be not all that much. 🙂 I have liked touch for silently making adjustments in the room with the performers. The ten finger touch thing is kinda cool where you can move more than one fader at once. Still, I don't use it often. Most of the touch stuff I do is one or two touch points at a time. To tell the truth, it has fallen from my attention. I have no desire to try to modify envelopes with touch.

He's selling preamps from Ukraine.

I record jazz with tube mics and ribbon mics. Nice pres, but not tube.

look in event viewer just in case.

Typically no. It would help if you give us more info.

I got my ucx at a local gc. Lots of odds and ends. My rack. Strings Pedal board Pedals I like the place.

Only what you have recently played through.

If you can tell visually, you have to play through the track. Cakewalk is not great for this purpose.
