There is a way to disable all fx. My bet is you have accidentally done this. https://www.cakewalk.com/Documentation?product=SONAR&language=3&help=Mixing.30.html#:~:text=In the Control Bar's Mix,active project are temporarily bypassed.

Don't give up. We all struggled when we first started recording with computers. Play some music. Feel good. Revisit later.

did it help?

Yes on high performance setting mentioned by @msmcleod. If your network card isn't WiFi, it is usually sufficient to disable power saving setting. When it is WiFi, the Wi-Fi part can usually be disabled. But you know how to disable it... I was just trying to help. What happens if you disable the network monitor thing? Or some of those other items under the network card?

If you go to device manager, find the device and double click it, click power management tab, you can control whether the device can be switched to save power. For some reason this action kills dpc performance. So, change it to not save power.

Well, cpus are complicated. They can overheat. So when things get hot, they auto slow. While this is good for protecting your cpu while gaming, when recording audio it may not be necessary. For now, i think you're biggest problem is your wlan. I think your wlan device is still configured to save battery power. Go into device manager open the device and disable the power saving choice. I show how to do this in my video.

Hi. I had some confusion myself around items set as midi controllers. If your midi device is assigned as a controller, when you set it as a track input, the level will not bounce and the notes with not play. Delete the midi controller entry and now it can work as a midi instrument driver.

Obviously you can re-enable it after you check latency monitor. The fact that you use a wired connection doesn't mean there isn't some part of your network card causing an issue. If you disable it and get a pass from latency monitor, you next try changing settings on it so it doesn't mess you up.

Cakewalk pretty much never crashes on me.

No. I mean open device manager and disable the network card. I thought i remember showing how to do this in the video.

This is gonna sound weird, but sometimes I put up winamp on a big monitor and feed input to it from the microphones in the room. Then it does animations on the screen in time with whatever we play and sing.

Perfect... now go to the drivers tab, sort descending as I do in my video and tell us which drivers are taking the longest to respond and what the latency is. Then we can advise you what the problem is. Sometimes the drivers aren't obvious, but they often are. The other thing you can do is monitor your system while Latency Monitor is running. What happens when it turns red? A move of your mouse (I had that problem once and had to switch the driver I used with the mouse) or some other thing that happens concurrently? Post the image of the drivers tab so we can see. We need to see the highest execution time in milliseconds. In my video you see dxgkrnl.sys and usbport.sys are the slowest at 0.35 and 0.28 milliseconds respectively. From reading the image, it looks like disabling your network card would be the first thing I'd try. Then re-run LatencyMon and see where you stand.

I believe you have an issue you haven't identified that may continue to plague you until you resolve it. I think latency monitor is the best tool for you to do this.

You can download latency monitor tho find out what problems you have.

@Noel Borthwick have you met her?

Happy bday!

I found it hiding under the couch in the living room.

Happy bday!

Interesting problem. I would probably do it with key strokes. I think i have ctl+shift+h as go-to end of selected clip. I would use this and just click fast. If i had to do it more than once, I'm not sure what I'd do. What happens if you drag multiple clips from widows explorer to a single track?

And latency monitor says your system is good for real time audio?

No, I'm serious. You can install and run latency monitor. It is free and will point to your problem. Once you get it to stay green, you should be all set.

You all are so strange. @kennywtelejazz wb
