Thanks, Michael Vogel, for your tip. I've done so. Sorry, dear Will, we do not sell things. We are not commercially involved in the music industry. We - retired from other jobs, now only musicians - give our productions away for free. Revenues - unavoidable authors- and copyrights - are donated to a charity, the Marijke Foundation, of which I am the founder. The work of the foundation can help to prevent people around the world - most of them women - from becoming more seriously ill because of untreated progression of two rare diseases that are very hard to diagnose. I am aware this may not be the proper place to supply a link to the work of the Marijke Foundation, but nevetheless: www.symptomatrix-eng.eu Thanks for your attention and to all: best regards, Han

No, Dear All, it's not yet next week here in the Netherlands. We took the time, step by step implementing the main part of all your advices and suggestions. A fine result: no more Late Buffers. Moreover we finally went for better latency (till this morning 11.3 ms): now at 128 buffer size > 5,1 ms. It became a combination of 1. adjustments and fine tuning in Windows and the computer system, 2. in Cakewalk. Eliminating a VSTi, replaced by another one, helped a lot from the start. Many thanks to you all for your interest, time and knowledge. Best regards, Han - Cint MMedia, Amsterdam NB. Our small group of musicians, under the name of Cint MMedia, composes and produces music/songs for musicals, documentaries and sometimes, by exception and on request, songs for a local artist.

Good morning (it is in The Netherlands) to all of you advising what to do. Thanks a lot for that, very valuable. It will take time to try out and find out. So I will come back next week. Beste regards, Han - Cint MMedia/Amsterdam

We load a large project, 24 miditracks, 4 audiotracks (vocals and effects). Multiple instances of VSTi's on the miditracks, among them Halion Sonic 3, Magix Independence, Korg Triton Collection, Cakewalk SI drums. Cakewalk VST-efx on a couple of tracks. After loading - and no start - the Late Buffers counting begins. Wait 15 minutes and we read 400 or more late buffers. Playing the project, Late Buffers behaves in the same way. Sometimes Cakewalk's audio engine stops, sometimes nothing happens, sometimes Cakewalk crashes. Experimenting with buffer settings in Cakewalk and/or Asio Panel does not solve the problem. By removing some tracks, one by one, at a certain point the Late Buffer counting stops. Playing the left-overs of the project: zero Late Buffers. All plug-ins, VSTi's and VST's, are 64 bit. System (April 2021): Windows 10 Pro, ASUS Rog mainboard, Intel i9-9900 (not overclocked), 32 GB Ram, 2x SSD 1TB, Motu 624 audio interface on ASUS Thunderbolt EX3, Motu Asio driver. No reports of devices not working properly or missing/outdated drivers. Loaded the project in our second system: same behaviour. System (September 2021): Windows 10 Pro, ASUS Rog mainboard, Intel i9-11900F (not overclocked), 32 GB Ram, 2x SSD 1TB, Behringer UMC404HD audio interface on USB. Behringer Asio driver. Loaded another large project, following same procedure as with the other project: same behaviour. The tests on our second system rule out that there is a problem with the computer system(s) and connected devices. So it seems that Cakewalk by Bandlab is not capable of handling large projects with multiple instances of VSTi's and VST's, which we find hard to believe. Though we are longtime satisfied and experienced users of Cakewalk, there might be a chance we overlook something in the Preference Settings, but that's also hard to believe. Anyone an idea?

Came back from holidays on July 30 inst. and found two sets of updates waiting: a. Windows 10 feature update v.21H1 and quality update KB5004237, b. Cakewalk by Bandlab 2021.06 build 057 #1 and #2. OK, installed the Windows updates first. Restarts a few times. No problem. Next, started Cakewalk and I was notified that the two updates (b.) were available. OK, downloaded and installed. Again some restarts - our habit here after updates are installed. Loaded a project (.cwb) with abt. 8 VSTi's but only two audio tracks I was working on before I went on holiday. Playback crashed immediately with the generator-like sound of CPU overload, quite loudly. Allright, closed the project, closed Windows, switched all devices off. Turned everything back on, started Windows, loaded the project again in Cakewalk and 'hurray': no crash. But when I stopped the project somewhere in the middle, same loud overload noise sounded a second or so (though Cakewalk did not crash). Restaring, reloading and so on: same result. There were no such problems before I went on holidays. So I guess that either the Windows updates or Cakewalk updates cause the problem, as nothing in the configuration and hardware setup was changed. And believe me, quite awfull such repeated noises when working on a project. I am a long-time Cakewalk user (since the eighties of the past century) and 'survived' various updates since, whether or not with tricks or hints or by simply adjusting the usual things like buffers and so on. But this time the magic of the digital en electronic world wins: I haven't got a clue. Any ideas?

Long time user of Sonar 8 Producer. Now on CbB. Used to Sonar 8 themes like XLNNuendo3. Does anyone know where to find thos .sth files in Sonar 8 Producer? Like to use them in CdB. Thanks for tips.

I just did a clean install of Dimension Pro 1.5 on my PC. Opening Dimension Pro 1.5 in Cakewalk by Bandlab tells me also I have 30 days to register. I used the serial # & registration # that still show up on my products list on the Cakewalk site but they don't work. Already tried to get it done through the Command Center, in Cakewalk by Bandlab and in the stand-alone version of DimPro, but no result. Anyone a solution?
