Thanks for the reply. I do have a Realtek card but I disabled it immediately (with a lot of other stuff) because I use ASIO ADAT to communicate with multiple systems in many channels and timing in my studio So WASAPI won't do it for me. I could uninstall the Realtek driver, but I'm afraid everytime I reboot, Windows will find it and automatically reinstall the driver and I have to go uninstall it again!!!!! I'm not even sure that will fix things. I seemed to have narrowed it down to the Console window. Any changes to it's size, after the project loads and it is undocked, kicks it in. This only started happening with the latest release and projects created with it. I've seen no problems with projects created with earlier releases. Now I know this may seem like a strange theory but I have proven it over and over again. I think their is a video related bug that slipped into the console view with the latest release. This is when it first happened. It is especially nefarious with multi monitors. I have always had a track view on one monitor and a console view on another with nary a problem. I tried both the built in GPU (Intel HD 600) and the GeForce GT-770M with no difference. As of now I am thinking that if I rollback a release, things should go back to normal, I hope, But as you know, I can't do that through the Assistant, and legacy releases are just not available. I kind of wish I downloaded earlier releases standalone and not via Bandlab Assistant which apparently deletes them from the download folder with no option to roll back. At least then I would have a back-up. I could go to a back-up I have, weekly, but I would not know which files to restore without screwing things up. Would restoring just the Cakewalk Core files I mention here, in file folder work? The Re the only files seem to be changed recently: Cakewalk.exe (4/24/2020) TTSImage,dll (4/24/2020) TTSRes.dll (4/24/2020) The latest file before that is libsndfile-1.dll (4/2/2020) Thanks for your help, Ron

At the top left of the track strip ther is a tiny double arrow that looks like a fast forward or rewind button. That will open or close a column on the left that has the controls you want!

Transport suddenly had slow or no response. It can take several seconds to repond to transport controls (via keyboard or control surfaces. In fact this is true of any function such as mute, solo, etc. I have not changed anything on the machine. Tried reloading, restarting to no avail. Freezing VST tracks and deleting the VSTs (Groove Agent and DW Drum enhancer) However, it seems to day, I loaded a previous version of the project that had lesser tracks, which always worked. Closed that, loaded thelater version wthat has more tracks and it seems okay! Any ideas about why this can happen. I am running 8.1 Pro, Intel i7-4700 MQ, All drives are SSD. 32GB Ram, all extraneous services disabled. I closed Cakewalk and later reopened and the same behavior with responsiveness occurred. It seems that the further into the playing project it gets so bad as to be practically unusable. Thanks in advance. I tried increasing playback buffers and that seems to work. Keeping fingers crossed. Oh boy started happening again.
