bayoubill 756 Posted August 12, 2020 (edited) This morning I tried to play back my tracks and I get an audio dropout window. I've checked everything I can think of but nothing has worked. I ever did a system restore still the same problem. I can't think of anything that may be causing this problem Please help!

tonemangler 48 Posted August 12, 2020 Is this happening to all your projects or just one? Did you try bypassing all plugins? Try archiving all tracks except one, if it runs fine unarchive tracks one by one to see where the problem may be? Maybe uninstall then reinstall CbB? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jon White 11 Posted August 13, 2020 I updated yesterday and my projects opened with audio dropouts. My solution: Start using Sequoia and Nuendo for all of my important DAW projects. And I've been with Cake since 1988. I'm done. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
studioguy1 9 Posted August 13, 2020 Start freezing tracks once you get them where you want them. It will lighten the load on Cake. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Garage Rodeo 4 Posted August 13, 2020 Freezing tracks helps. Lower buffer to 1024 when mixing, turn off all plugins, (especially waves stuff for me). If a track needs a lot of plugins, I now mix it in Studio One 5, then export it back to CW. I got in to the habit of constantly bouncing stuff, so there is only a couple plugins working at a time. I had to record guitar last night to a project with a lot of stuff on it, to battle latency, I just turned everything off temporarily. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bayoubill 756 Posted August 14, 2020 I think my data storage drive is failing. Problems reading files from that drive which is where my project and audio info is Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bayoubill 756 Posted August 14, 2020 I’ve run the disk defrag and it’s working better now. I’m going to back up all the files and folders on a flash drive that I need just in case It fails Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bayoubill 756 Posted August 14, 2020 (edited) Special Thanks to Jim from Purrrect Audio for helping me find out what's going on! It appears to be a losing battle here. Funding is a problem at the moment so I'm saving what I can while the pc in running. Edited August 14, 2020 by bayoubill Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
