I’ll only add this observation about Zoom and the ASIO ?? driver they supply. I own a Zoom G1 stomp box that has USB connection to PC. I’ll put it in the same category as my Blackstar amp and USB drivers. It sucks. They both are just what seems to be a modified generic driver. Cakewalk doesn’t like that. If you would rather be making music that fighting a loosing battle with badly written drivers then do your self a big favor and buy a proper audio interface like a Focusrite. Maybe your Zoom R8 driver is different than other Zooms drivers from the past, that would be great. All I can say is you hook up a Focusrite or any name brand audio interface and install the driver and everything works. Every time.

You should start your own thread. The OP for this thread disappeared from here in December 2021. I doubt he'll answer. So please start a new thread and supply details of what you are trying to do and how. The more details the faster the solution.

Possibilities: Roland Gi-10 - This is for sure part of the aforementioned devices in use. It is a pitch to midi device that doesn’t generate audio Only Midi. There’s only Midi jacks and no USB. Korg X50. It has a USB midi port as well as a Midi in and out ports. In the manual page 39 it explains how to pass Midi in to Midi out. Roland X50 ? Possibly meant the Korg. The Roland E X 50 doesn’t have Midi ports. Only USB. Korg X10? Possibly meant the X50 but got mixed up with Gi10.

It’s a bit fussy how it works but I explain the basic stuff you need to know in this video https://youtu.be/W0xsfLUtYM4

Follow the instructions in this video and you will have sound. I guarantee it.

Little confused as first you mentioned a Roland x50 which I see is a Keyboard workstation but then you are also mentioning a Korg X10 which I don’t see as existing? Where does that fit in. The Roland Gi10 I see only generates Midi data via standard Din connection. The only image I could find of a Roland X50 back panel doesn’t seem to have midi jack’s? So is it a Korg or a Roland used To connect the Gi10 to? It seems is what you need is an Audio interface with Midi jacks. Otherwise the Keyboard Workstation needs to be Midi Thru capable.

Generally with daisy chaining Midi we go from Device 1 Midi OUT to Device 2 Midi IN and then Device 1 will be sent to the Midi Thru port of Device 2. To have the signal from Device 1 show in the Midi OUT of Device 2 you would need to set that up from within device 2 settings. Which model of Roland Guitar Synth is this? Does it have USB or just the 5 pin Din.? Also make sure you download and install any Roland Drivers if available. Even if it seems to work as plug and play, I find it best to use the drivers from the Support page.

The wave form clearly shows a export that was clipping the Master bus. Do you have any limiters or analyzing tools on the Master? You might want to watch my tutorials on how to export and master a finished song. Maybe it will help. #22 & #24 for sure and there are a few others as well like #28&29

Funny he said he didn’t do this but anyone with long time Cakewalk experience has done exactly this a dozen times. There’s really only that one way I know of to make the Control bar disappear. It’s most certainly nothing to do with an update. As far as I can tell the latest update is that much more stable than all the previous versions. It’s a shame when there is pilot error involved and peoples first reaction is to re install Cakewalk or roll back. It’s 99% of the time totally unnecessary. As far as accidentally typing when the dialogue box looses focus, When I do this I always re- type the word to re toggle the stuff back to where it was. If that doesn’t work I just reload my workspace.

Dang I can’t believe I had that so wrong. Of course it works just like every mixing board I’ve ever owned. The effects send is post and the auxiliaries are pre. Sorry about that I guess I better delete that so as not to contaminate the internet any more than it already is with bad info.

I don’t use midi volume. I use either the volume control of the instruments GUI or the instrument track Gain. My volume sliders stay at unity unless the track gets automated. Things are always plenty loud and most times it’s a matter of turning track gain down so they are around-10db to -6db.

I see what you mean. I just re read the post and originally I thought the OP was referring to the project was not playing through the master bus. So you might be right and the bass was the first and only instrument. But the metronome should have still be using the Master bus. The 6i6 is getting old and that’s why I bought a newer interface a few years ago. But they seem to keep updating the drivers and for me the 6i6 outperforms the new Motu M4. I’ll see how this new driver does I can always roll back.

This is not the issue as you use your direct monitoring and not the input echo. I have never used input echo on an audio track. The Op seems to have just had a minor glitch in the Scarlett driver.

I think those are the ones that a lot of the stuff is outdated now. They are based on Sonar.

Interesting thing about the driver. I just went to the support page and there's a new driver listed as being released June 2022. Cool, That's nice they are still releasing drivers for a device that is almost 10 years old now. But the Driver number is now a lower overall number. As you see mine was 4.65.5 but the new driver is 4.102.4. I downloaded and installed it anyway and nothing seemed to change, including my list still looks different than yours. You sure your using the correct ASIO driver??

Your list looks different than mine? Which Driver version are you using? But otherwise Mon 1 is the correct output. Sometimes when I get no audio I reset the Mix Control to Factory Defaults.

Wrong again! ?fixed.

I vote for this as well. I’ve tried a few times and always hit a brick wall with something that you think should be easy but isn’t.

Hmmm, a hearing impaired Audio Engineer! I thought our solution was to just turn it up to 11. ?

The typing names in the box has gotten many people over time. You “think” the name box is in focus and you start typing. But your not typing a word, you are typing keyboard shortcuts and Cakewalks screen goes bonkers. You obviously typed “C” which hides / shows the control bar. Close the project and reopen to reset or change your workspace. Your other issues might be related to what ever other keyboard shortcuts you typed.

It would be much easier to help you if you actually told us what and how with details. I don’t even know if this is midi or audio tracks so can’t even begin to guess. Audio interface? Are you using Cakewalk or ProTools?

I learned more about Cakewalk than I had over the last 2 decades when I started making the tutorials. I needed to explore all the options and make sure I wasn’t missing anything obvious. Then as I picked topics I dug in to ( that’s right) the documentation as well as exploring every little button and menu item. Things I never would have touched I tried just to see what happens. Boy did I quickly make a quantum leap in understanding exactly how Cakewalk is glued together. Things I thought were useless features I now include in my daily workflow. So in some ways I really don’t care if anyone ever watches them, makes no difference to me, because if anything was worth while it was making the videos was a very good learning experience just for me. I do hope I’ve helped a few others along the way. I certainly get thankful comments daily from Google. And it does mean a lot to me even the small bit of support I get from the forum. Big thanks to those of you who take the time to post the links etc.

Try my tutorials on setting up midi that will get you there a lot faster than guessing ?

The notes might be out of the range of the instrument you are using. Example I always have to raise up by +12 ( 1 octave) to use Ample or SI Bass. Always open the instrument GUI and test it with the preview option first. I have tutorials on using midi
