Issue resolved. Thank you.

For one reason or other my metronome has gone silent. Everything was working fine yesterday, but all of a sudden today...silence....no PING sound when I press R. Maybe an other one of my stupid omissions ......I can't find it. Please help. Regards.

I am embarrassed.................... For one reason or other, all of a sudden, I was starting to play on the 4th click of the metronome in lieu of the 5th. Everything is now OK. Regards Gerry

Issue definitely resolved. My stupidity all along Thank's to all. Regards Gerry

Sorry for the false hope. Thought I had resolved the problem this AM, but unfortunately not. The first note played is still an issue. Gerry

By, any FX, do you also include Guitar Rig 5 and/or TH 3 that are specific to the guitar? Thank's Regards Gerry

I may not have explained the situation properly. The guitar solo is in the middle of tune....measure 42.... I can start it OK but : A) the sound on the first note is not heard instantly....on the following notes, no issue B) also on the first note, when playing back, the sound level is weaker than on the following notes. Regards. Gerry

Yes I am still using the PreSonus Audiobox. Sorry for my ignorance but what would the mix knob have to do with my problem? What settings should I be looking at? And what should they be? Regards Gerry

was recording with MME at one point and seemed to have less problems. Presently everything is under ASIO.

Thank you scook. Gerry

I purchased Wave plug-in once...never worked on my system and was told that Wave did not support Cakewalk. That was it never Wave again.

I am currently working on a project in which I am recording guitar on an audio track. However I am having issues with the 1st note that is played: A) it is not heard immediately ...but the following notes are B) the sound level is weak....but again the sound level of the following notes are OK. What I am doing wrong? As usual thank's for any help . Greatly appreciated. Gerry

How can I indicate that a problem/situation has been resolved. I see a lot of posts indicating this. Thank you.

Thank you ALL. Took a little advice from a few of you and because of this, this issue/situation seems to now be resolved. Everything is now running through my PreSonus Audiobox USB. Realteck is out. Increased my buffer to 512. Have not had a dropout event in a couple of days. By my handle you can guess my age...so thanks for your patience and support. This is more than a hobby. To me I could not live without music in any way shape or form. I'm not good ..I'm not an expert but......I enjoy. Thank you again. I am posting an other issue...ha..ha

Thank you everyone for your input. Like a good little/old boy I did as I was told and am now in ASIO. However the issue of Audio Dropout has not gone away. It is still there. So I guess MME vs ASIO has nothing to do with the issue. I guess I will have to live with the problem! Regards and thank you to all for your inputs. Gerry.

My speakers are presently connected into my computer. Are you saying that my speakers should be connected directly to my PreSonus Audiobox rather than directly into my computer? If so, what will happen when I want to listen to music or anything coming from the computer, ie......music from YouTube? Thank you Gerry

In reply to Straship Krupa ( by the way any relation to Gene the great drummer? ) her goes. I am using Windows 10....Intel core i3-6100t cpu...3.2 Ghz ...8.00 RAM...system type 64 bits. Sound card..Realteck ALC 3661 Cakewalk by Bandlab 2019-05 B31 Presonus Audio box USB 3.1.0. As mentioned before I only get sound when using MME nothing else. And by the way, when recording the guitar, I am still having the issue that the 1st note played......A) is not heard instantly and....B) is not recorded at the proper level. All following noted played are heard instantly and at the proper recording/recorded level. As this is my first attempt at recording guitar, I am wondering what I may be doing incorrectly. But as I said above it seems that it is only the first note causing the issue. The dropout issue is also still there. Thank you in advance for any help. Greatly appreciated. Gerry

Also for one reason or other, don't know if it is a sound card or Presonus issue, but I only get sound when using MME. I seem to have resolved the recording issue by following Robert's advise and reducing the buffer form 256 to 128.. The dropout issue is still there. Thank you Regards Gerry.

In my previous post I was referring to the Cakewalk version/builds, not the Presonus versions... Regards Gerry

Thank you Bob an Scook. I will try these solutions. However, I seem to remember that this problem started happening after I installed the latest version/build that came out a mount or two ago. Is this possible? I have kept the previous version/build. So could I revert back to the previous version/build? Thank you guys again...much appreciated. Gerry.

No, I have not tried WASAPI. I have two..which one should I try.....Exclusive and Shared. These are also other set-up that I have noticed: I am running Cakewalk in 64 -bits. However the MME indicates 32-bits and also my audio drive indicates 64-bits. An other issue that came up yesterday in recording the guitar: when I strike the first note of the guitar I do not hear it instantly....but all subsequent notes are heard properly. But like I said earlier, this thing about the Dropout just started happening in recent weeks.....never had it before? Thank you in advance for any help......getting frustrated...I am not totally new at this but definitely no expert either. Regards Gerry

Unfortunately my system, for one reason or other runs on MME not ASIO. I am mainly using Toontrack EZ Keys and EZ drums as Midi. PreSonus audio box USB unit. Two guitar audio tracks. Still having the problem. Thank you for any help. Much appreciated.

I am presently working on a project with both Midi and Audio tracks. 2 audio guitar tracks the balance, midi tracks. In the last couple of weeks, after working on the project for a period of time I get an AUDIO DROPOUT. This has been happening on a regular basis. How can I remedy the problem? As I mentioned this is only happening recently but on a regular basis. What could be the problem? Am I doing something wrong or is it the system? Thank you in advance for any help. It's getting frustrating. Gerry

Thank you all. Problem solved. We learn something new every day. This had never happened before and/or I had never noticed. The BYPASS RACK was turned OFF.......turned it ON....everything is now working fine. Regards Gerry.

Thank you Craig, but when applying para #2 I get " MIXING DOWN AUDIO " going on for ever. Maybe to solution would be to include the plug-in at the start..find the right tone..and record . Thank's again...by the way I have your book on THE GUITARIST GUIDE TO SONAR....maybe I should go back and read it again? Regards Gerry
