For about 3 months now, adding Drum Replacer to a track crashes cakewalk.  Multiple systems, Intel and AMD, and last 3 versions of Cakewalk.  I sent a request to support.  I uninstalled and reinstalled and still crashes all my systems.  Anyone else seeing this?

Let me see if I can help.

  1. Open your project in Cakewalk and start it playing . While playback is in progress mute the master bus. Is it then silent? If you don't have silence there is a routing problem. If it is silent then...

  2.  Adjust the master fader so that the volume never peaks above  -1  (at this point most people don't go above  -3).

  3. Instead of exporting the mix, bounce it to a new track (Select all, then click the Tracks tab in the Track View header and then click the Bounce to Tracks option - the Bounce menu will open - in the source category  choose buses and then highlight only the Master bus then click OK).

  4. When the bounce is complete, solo the resulting track and route it's output directly to the hardware output. Play it back. It should sound exactly the same as the mix (if it does not come back here and let us help you figure out why).  If it sounds right trim any unwanted time from the beginning and the end, add fade in and fade out, then bounce the clip to itself (If you want it to play back a little louder you can Normalize it to -1).

  5. Select your finished clip (rename it now from the right click menu if you wish) and export it (don't use the Export button- instead use File/Export/Audio - in the Source Category choose Clips - set your desired sample rate, bit depth, and dither). When exporting clips there is no need to enter a file name. The clip name will be the name of the resulting file.

 

I hope this helps. FWIW I never export mixes. The above method may seem complicated but once you have done it a couple of times you will see the logic behind it...

 

Or not.

 

I was noticing when I exported my audio, the final track didn't have the same level as the master bus - your post finally showed me how to do it and gt the levels I was wanting to see.  You rule!!!!!!!!

Here is a version of Rainbow in the Dark by DIO I recently produced in Cakewalk.  We used the original drum track and had 4 guitar players play 8 outro solos.  This is our 6th virtual collaboration for International Metal Coalition.

Here is a couple Covid-19 virtual collaborations I participated in.  Mixed in Cakewalk.  Addictive Drums 2 for the drums via a Roland kit.
