What is the model number of the Behringer? Some interfaces have more than one set of outputs like my Tascam. It has a monitor and then 1/2 and 3/4 outputs and I think only the monitor out is controlled by the level knob. You might be using the wrong outputs jacks if there’s more than one choice.

And this is probably the root of the problems! USB powered interfaces have a long history of issues. If the unit also has a power supply option you should use it and see if the problem goes away. Computer USB ports are all over the map as far as supplying a dependable source of power. 5 volts is marginal and there's so many other factors involved like USB 2 and USB 3 etc. My Motu will only run on a totally dedicated PCIe card USB 3.0 port. And even then it has way more weird issues than my Scarlett that uses a power supply. I often have to totally re boot my computer when it stops working. I will never buy another interface that doesn't have at least the option of using a power supply again.

Somehow I knew my answer would not be well received. I was going to move on but thought I could help but I would need clarification on a few things first. The point is I try and help anyone who comes here and it’s often we have to guess what is wrong. Miss information is a huge problem when trying to troubleshoot something. Terminology might not matter to you but it makes a big difference to me and other who are regular “ helpers “ here. So the whole point of my break down was to get some clear information so we can help you. And ya, I could only assume by how you described your issue that you were either a part time or new user. Sorry if that offended it was not intentional. But once again I can only assume that a user who doesn’t know about basic stuff like that hasn’t used the software much so might not understand how a lot of things work too. Glad you got it sorted.

Was just reading all the documents regarding mix recall. I was unaware that you can totally customize what it saves. Example in my case when working with multi song live recordings each song will have different track automation. So you can tell mix recall to not load that. I think this calls for deep research and a tutorial topic. Interesting what Noel said later in this thread I started exactly 2 years ago about possibly updating it.

Don’t feel bad. I didn’t know that tiny button was there until last year. You need a magnifying glass to see it!

I only just noticed it as I was editing and had it soloed . First thought was my Yamaha NSM10’s were starting to die. But it was worse in the headphones. Haven’t had a chance to figure it out and then I read this thread.

OK lets break down your question for some clarification; This implies you have a midi or audio track used for a click and not the metronome. The metronome doesn't need a track. So this is unclear. This implies you have enabled the count in feature of the metronome for record but have not enabled the play metronome during recording in the transport or the metronome settings dialogue. ( see @Lynn Wilson comment only Control panel I think he meant Transport module ) You said you are a long time user but this statement implies a very basic starting level with Cakewalk. And just to enlighten, its a Bus not a channel. This implies an incorrect routing as the metronome bus by default, along with tracks or sub buses, should all be routed to the Master bus by default. The Master Bus is then routed to your Audio interface. Your Soft synths are either routed to the Master or to a sub bus that is routed to the master. Check all your outputs, tracks and buses are correctly routed.

Yes this is totally true. And the more knowledge you have of the software the easier this becomes. I can work 10 x faster in Cakewalk than I did only 4 years ago. Simply because I decided to try and learn how it works from the ground up instead of my original method of blindly pushing buttons and doing things the same way for 20 years. It does take time but it's time well spent. I even watch the first few videos I made and see things I have improved upon since I made them last fall. You never stop learning when it comes to software and music and video.

Now you got me thinking and actually a bit concerned about this. I’ve been converting all my old projects over from 44.1 to 48. I wasn’t at all concerned about the midi tracks and instruments. But one thing I’m hearing is Ample P bass lite is all of a sudden sounding grainy if you solo it. I’m going to try a listen to it at 44.1 again!

I feature the LoudMax in a few of my videos. I even use it in my video editing software so my You Tubes are under control. Did you watch #101? https://youtu.be/w24ZQIkY4fw It a very simple overview of using it. If it makes your mix sound bad then you are over compressed and might need to lower your overall output using the master bus gain control or lower all your sub buses. I have a few other videos that explain basic mastering. #15, 22&24 as examples https://discuss.cakewalk.com/index.php?/topic/36057-cakewalk-2022-owners-manual-tutorials/ If you have any questions please ask glad to help

Tutorial # 17

This one is about Importing a midi file into Cakewalk but it's title should be " How to OPEN a Midi file" How to Import a Midi file into Cakewalk and play it with TTS-1 - https://youtu.be/lKDfq-hTb7U You can then simply change the midi tracks to Instrument tracks of your choice. Here is the rest of my tutorials and Tutorials # 12, 13 & 14 also go into details of managing Midi tracks.

FYI my videos are short and to the point. I don’t even have intros and I don’t beg for subscriptions. That would waist time. People just need the facts. I made them per topic. If you do watch the ones I listed you will be miles ahead in understanding how to produce a top quality master. There’s much more to understand about Mastering than what I cover, but for most new comers this is a great starting point. I can totally understand not wanting to waist time on yet more videos but mine are different. I only made them because I got tired of typing the same answers over and over in this forum So the sort answer is it seems you have not set your Master bus section up properly. Only the Master needs to be at Unity. It's all about understanding Cakewalks signal flow. All this is covered in detail in the ones you didn't watch. The Video's about Exporting is NOT about mastering. It assumes you've got that under control. You shouldn't be messing with Windows volume setting either, unless you don't have an audio interface. We normally adjust monitoring levels with Hardware. You also might benefit from Tutorial # 1 about setting up your audio system correctly.

In the steps in my video-- once you have deleted all the audio at the old sample rate you have to use SAVE AS and to a new location. You still check copy all audio with project even though there is none so Cakewalk will create a new per project folder with a empty audio folder in it. THEN you drag and drop the exported audio track back to the clean project. Otherwise the old sample rate audio will be all mixed in with the new sample rate audio. Please watch the video again and carefully follow the steps.

I always pay attention to the file size of the sample if available. Like in Dim Pro. I assume that the larger files might be better quality but then ?

The Juno with that midi adapter box was the very first synth I used. It belonged to the music program teacher. He later bought the one with midi built in. I got him set up with an Atari ST and the kids learned a bit about midi , synths and sequencers. I still have some recordings we made with the kids ( now in their 40,s) and that Juno is a big part of the sound.

All volume settings need to be at unity if that is the source for your export. I have tutorials on exporting and mastering projects that will clarify what you are trying to do. #15, 22, 24 and 28,29.

It wasn't a big stretch for me to sort it out when first introduced years ago. I had been recalling Mixes on my Yamaha 01V since 1996. I most certainly wouldn't have expected it to know if I had unplugged or added a new input. I used to store Masking tape Channel naming strips of bands and 8 track recording projects stuck to the bottom and sides. Just recall the mix and stick the matching tape strip on the front. Most mixers now have a little name window per channel. So saving a snapshot of a mix has been around along time. Digital mixing desks all do this. That's why the big shows can travel the world and ask for a certain FOH and monitor desk and just show up, load their show from a USB stick and go. I think it's great Cakewalk adapted this same workflow. I'm not sure how other many DAW's do? One of the most brilliant uses of mix recall is for live multitrack recordings. Say you have recorded a whole night and have 30 CWP project files of audio tracks. They will all probably be mixed about the same. Get song #1 dialed in and save the mix recall. Now from the browser, drag that mix recall from song #1's mix recall folder and drop it on the other projects. Bingo and Cool.

Yes mix recall has its place for trying out different options for mixing a final version of a finished project but it needs the tracks to keep same numbers etc. You can swap out effects and VST instruments but it will freak out if you delete a track. There are many options for saving alternative versions of projects. “Save as “with a change to the name is easiest and will share the audio folder if you “save as “in to the same project folder.

You should either read the documentation articles about PVR or watch the many tutorial videos on the topic. That’s how we all learned how to use advanced features of Cakewalk. The hard way is to blindly poke at buttons. Go to the tutorials here https://discuss.cakewalk.com/index.php?/forum/35-tutorials/ I have my ow series as well https://discuss.cakewalk.com/index.php?/topic/36057-cakewalk-2022-owners-manual-tutorials/

No Rx is not a regional effect so is not on the list. Not sure what is involved but it is something to do with the ARA integration that Melodyne uses that allows it to work in any DAW that supports ARA. An option is to open the wave file directly in RX and save it when done. The project would need to be closed. And then another idea would depend on if RX is considered a wave editor, if it is then one could add it to the Tools menu. @scook wrote some software for making this easier. Example I added Wave lab to my tools menu so I can highlight any audio clip and open it, edit and save the changes. I close the file in Wave lab and return focus to Cakewalk which asks me if I want to save the change made to the clip. So it’s different than an regional effect but the process is the same as you should render Melodyne too which is the same as saving.

Please start a new thread with new questions this is 4 pages long nobody will make it to the end.

Same for me, Tascam , Focusrite and Motu all seem to share as long as the sample rate matches. That’s why I now use 48 because most Videos are 48. I will often open Cakewalk to grab screen shots while using both Chrome and Movie Studio ( Vegas) without issues. I also might have Paint open. Lots going on never a problem. It’s most always been like that for me. I’ve never had to use my on board audio like some people report is their solution to the sharing issue. So possibly that is an alternative for the OP. Use on board for Windows stuff.

I do believe only the budget Behringer interfaces use asio4all. The rest have proper ASIO drivers like all interfaces. I just looked and there’s a driver download https://www.behringer.com/product.html?modelCode=P0B2J
