Keith Wilby Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 Hi all. My Cakewalk application was updated today via the Bandlab Assistant, and since then all of my hitherto working projects have terrible distortion on playback. I'm at a complete loss, can anyone help please? The version it update to is 2019.11 (build 54, 64 bit). Many thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Wilby Posted November 29, 2019 Author Share Posted November 29, 2019 Well ... I seem to have fixed it but I have no idea why. Out of sheer desperation I was changing settings, and changing Driver Mode from WASAPI Shared to WASAPI Exclusive did the trick. 😮 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might have been in the feedback thread for the 2019.11 release. I believe there are comments posted in some of the various threads that explain some aspects of the distortion, noise, crackling, etc. problem(s). They might help answer the "why" question (i.e., why switching audio driver modes helps in some cases). I am just a plain old user (i.e., not staff or even a power user) and couldn't explain it, but I remember seeing explanations. Not sure if someone can tag the posts/threads posts with "distortion," "noise," "crackling," etc. so they might be easier to find than just doing a keyword search of all the times those words are used. This might interest you. It includes a link to the feedback thread, too.

Noel Borthwick Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 There is a hotfix that was posted yesterday for an issue with WASAPI. Please keep comments about the 2019.11 release in the main feedback thread here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
