Maybe this is obvious to everyone here, but I just found out I could record two separate tracks at the same time in Cakewalk. I use a Line 6 Helix as my interface through a USB. I record one track with effects (wet) through input 1. At the same time I record the other track bypassing the effects (dry) through input 7. So when I need to share the STEM with someone I have 2 options from the same take. I thought this may be handy for bass players out there.

I admit, I am very new to using Cakewalk or any other DAW for that matter. I am using it as many other do to record and share ideas with band-mates to further song development. I'm not using Cakewalk to master or engineer an album. I would love to share the issue that was causing me problems just incase it occurs to someone else there will be a solution. I do not care to repeat the error I was having for fear I will lose content and create more frustration. I have no idea what advanced threading scheduling is. As mentioned, I have no issues since I uninstalled and re-installed Cakewalk. It ain't broke, so I ain't fixin'. I appreciate all the ideas and suggestions.

The issue has been fixed. The Line 6 Helix does use ASIO drivers. I did uninstall and re-install CbB to a solid state drive. When I had the issue, CbB was on a hard disk drive. Maybe the HHD was the issue and CbB had issues writing to it?

I should have done a video to show what was happening. The project was set to 110 bpm with a 6/8 time signature. I was recording and deleting tons of takes of the same bass part. I was only using 2 tracks. 1 midi drum track and 1 track for live recorded bass. After abouy 30 seconds the click track and midi drums would slow down gradually. Like a dying battery. It would also playback with the slower down part.

No, it wasn't a tempo issue. I assume it was a hardware or performance issue. I solved the problem by uninstalling Cakewalk (C:) and re-installing it to a SSD drive (D:). I appreciate your reply. Thank you for caring enough to offer something.

My set up: Interface: Line 6 Helix LT to PC via USB PC: AMD Ryzen 5 1400 Quad-Core Processor 3.20 GHz, 16.0 GB RAM, Windows 10 64-bit DAW: Cakewalk by Bandlabs When I record an instrument to a track, the metronome and midi drums slow down a few bpm. It is normal for a few measures, then it slows down. Very frustrating. Any ideas on where to start troubleshooting? I hope I have provided enough info to help, Kelly

Thank you, I will give it a try and reply CalEliteCoach2319

I am a newb when it comes to digital recording. I have downloaded and updated the latest version of Cakewalk by Bandlabs. I use a Windows 10 bases PC and a Line 6 Helix for a guitar interface via USB. I always have issues when I start up with a pop up saying that "no audio devices for your current driver model. " I also have issues with using the drum machine (virtual instrument). I can't hear or record the track. What is the basic set up on my PC I need to enable to record basic bass, guitar, and midi drums with my Line 6 Helix? Very frustrated, CalEliteCoach2319
