Input echo doesnt seem to work in this case, i got the same issue, sort of, i got 2 instruments going and i can hear both mixed together fine while playing, but when recording, I can only here one, the echo buttons are both activated on both.

I see, well when it comes to certain computer parts, nothing is crystal clear to me anyway. I do have a reliable computer tech who does my upgrades, so I trust him.
There are two choices I'm looking at, and I'm wondering if there would really be much difference between these two processors. I'm just running Cakewalk, but I do use some CPU heavy plugins, and mostly audio tracks as opposed to MIDI tracks. Sometimes I use Sony Vegas to do some small video projects as well.
Ok, correct me if I'm wrong,..... so I'm guessing that pairing the less expensive 5600x 6core/12thread with 32GB RAM and a fast SSD drive would be sufficient for what I'm doing in CW? Or is it gonna be that much difference in performance/speed to go with the more expensive 5800x 8core/16thread?
See, right now I have a 3core/6thread (which I originally thought was just a "6 core" (there's that terminology again!), and CWbB performance meter is showing 6 separate core measurements for it, so I assume the CWbB meter will show 12 for the 5600x and 16 for the 5800x. I could actually keep the processor I have but I'm upgrading everything else, so I may as well follow suit with the processor as well, rather than doing it separately later on.
Any thoughts?
The 8 cores will give you more headroom (more plugins)vs the 6 cores but wont make things go actually faster (mixing down audio), you still can only go as fast as each core is limited to, thats why checking single threaded score is still relevant but probably the most important in judging a cpu, and in that case the 5600x and 5800x are about even in single threaded score, so no performance advantage in everday use but more headroom to do things, and why you should consider the 11700 which is the same as the 5800x but cheaper.. Personally id go intel just because ive read too many issues that involved AMD and stability which i dont want to deal with but im sure isnt the norm,. Ithink AMD handles memory differently so I would be curiouse to see how plugin latency which in part relys on memory speed to lower buffers performs on AMD. But without testing we'll never know and why with intel you know nothing funky is going to happen and with the prices become a better choice imo. With that said your 3core cpu is most likely light years behind in single threaded perfromancethat any upgrade in the cpu to a modern one would be a nice upgrade. The x5600 being a good choice because its up there on the single threaded side, x3700 being a worse choice since its low on the scale, a 11700 being a better overall choice i believe.

Noel's explanation makes sense and it confirms there's nothing fundamentally wrong on my system settings. Render times are not even a real problem. On my new system Cakewalk renders 4 min song made of 50+ audio tracks with 50+ FX in 30 seconds. Finally it feels like being in the future.
Whats your new system?
Hangs on Wave Profiler at start up

I have the same problem , the first response i dont see anywhere onboarding shown in the core part of cakewalk in the registry eidtor, the 2nd suggestion didnt work by disabling all but the audio driver I was using . Maybe there's a file you can edit somewhere to change the driver settings outside the program?`
EDIT: What did work was unplugging my hdmi cable for external monitor. That seemed to let the waveprofiler finish correctly.
