Hi my friends,

The problem is fixed. It was the soundcard.

For some reason Scarlett Solo 3rd gen does not work with Cakewalk by bandlab 

and the other stuff that I am using.

I know this because I have tried everything, driver, update, cables and more...

 but still it does not work.

I borrowed Scarlett 2i2 from a friend to see if that would work,

and it did.

So obviously,  there´s something wrong with Scarlett Solo 3rd gen.

I have tried these solutions but still the same.

I also updated Scarlett Solo 3gen.

Bad distortion in KONTAKT and ADDICTIVE KEYS.

But not when I use Real Guitar by Music lab !?

I tried to figure out why,

but I have no idea. 

Any suggestions ?

Btw...I might sound like someone who is new to this but I am sure not,

it´s just that I never had any of these problems before.

I have to run some errands but I have one last suggestion. Reinstall your Kontakt software if you haven't already. If you installed Cakewalk by BandLab while Kontakt was already on your system Cakewalk may not not be using it at optimum performance. I hope you can get this problem resolved because I know how frustrating it must be. Ah, one more thing... if you have access to another audio interface you could try using that to see if you still have the same problem. If not, the problem might be in your hardware.

Ok, thanx for helping me my friend.

i will try those things 

Have a great evening there

Nothing jumps out as being out of the ordinary. What I would do, as part of the elimination process, is to move the Buffer Size slider all the way to the right/Safe position, just to rule that out if it isn't the problem. Also, do media files you play on your computer also have noise when played?

I tried to change the buffer but no change.

Wav and mp3 files sounds good, so seems no problem with headphones or Scarlett solo ,right ?

But when I load any instrument in Kontakt it has rattling distortion. Same when using Addictive keys.

I have talked to those people but they didnt know.

Would it be possible for you to post a screencap of your audio driver settings?

Sure my friend

It is pretty difficult to diagnose "noises" that "sound like shit" from the verbal description alone. You apparently have a trained ear and a lot of experience, so it is surprising that the vocabulary you use to describe the audio situation is so limited. Late versions of SONAR were not so different from Cakewalk in terms of the audio reproduction, and there are many people who do find instrument plugins usable in Cakewalk. If you are new to Cakewalk, then presumably it was installed with different settings or even on different hardware than SONAR was, which further complicates the issue. Getting technical help from peers or technicians is an onerous time-consuming and often frustrating exercise, but on its face this seems to be more of a case of venting than soliciting assistance.

Whatever, who gives a shit 😋

I have used Sonar Cakewalk since the -90s.

Like I said who gives a fu... 😉

Anyone who have same type of  sounding problems using the new bandlabcakewalk ?

I use ASUS ROG STRIX 64 bit, (2019)

that is supposed to be one of the best for music making.

Ah, forgot. I have tried 32 and 64...same problem

I have used Sonar Cakewalk with samplers and many, different programs for years and years, Native, Addictive, Real Guitar etcetera,  without any problems, top notch.

But now it's called Cakewalk by bandlab and I got no idea what the hell happened, it sounds like shit, yes it does.

For example, when I run KONTAKT with some instrument I have used for years, it sounds so bad I can no longer use it.

I have been mailing here and there for months, but no solution...

 How the hell should any user know how to fix these sort of problems when not even those technicians know how to fix it ?

I use Scarlett solo 3 gene and all drivers are updated.

Does anyone here know ?
