Not sure this is correct. My understanding is the bigger the buffer the safer it will be for rendering the data. Would be interested to understand this better.

At around 10 minutes I show how to use clip gain. Once you have it set up it’s super easy to edit the whole track. Way faster than treating each clip with a CPU hungry plug in. And it’s non destructive

Buffer settings have zero to do with export. Is this an ASIO interface or On Board system audio?

I guess the default is the box is unchecked as here in my screenshot. I have never used these settings on this computer.

All this is easy to fix with any audio interfaces that have midi jacks built in. Even a used one. Or a midi interface with up to date drivers. Did you contact the company and ask if they were planning on updating the drivers? Worth a shot.

You always install from oldest to newest to avoid overwriting certain system files with outdated code. There’s hundreds of threads here on best practices for new installs. It’s always a lot of work. A time saver for me is to copy the CCC download folder from the old drive.

FYI. If I want to duplicate a midi track I either insert a new instrument track or a new midi track. I highlight the original and hold down CTRL to drag the data to the new track. This copies the midi without fuss.

You probably know most of this but it will rule out an issue with your settings. You don’t use input echo on audio tracks. Use the direct monitoring system. Also open Mix Control and reset to the default set up to make sure that is correct

You either know how to write songs or you want a computer to write your songs.

This ! Behringer designed this one for the lowest price point. No ASIO driver, end of story.

Not fair! Your the one being rude to someone who is trying to help! I put a smilly to show my tone which was trying to be jovial. All I saw in your screenshot was a lock beside the Workspace icon. So I assumed this was on the track view. I found it, and I opened the help module and it told me what it was, The scroll lock, and it sure made prefect sense to me as to what it was. I google the term and found this. From the documentation: Auto scroll lock in Clips pane While editing, you can prevent the Clips pane from scrolling horizontally during playback. This allows you to focus on the edit location without worrying that the screen will eventually scroll away from the edit location. When the Left Click Locks Scroll option is enabled (default behavior), the Clips pane will not scroll if you click any object in the Clips pane. When you are done with the edit and want the Clips pane to scroll again during playback, click in the background of the Clips pane to clear auto scroll lock. To enable/disable auto scroll lock Click the Track view Options menu, point to Click Behavior and choose Left Click Locks Scroll on the submenu. This works but Now I don't see that icon? It's replies like this that make me realize how much time I'm wasting here. See ya later.

Zombie Thread-- This is a 2 year old thread the OP is long gone and hopefully found what they needed 2 years ago.

Yes your double posting. That is not cool and it’s confusing to follow. With issues like this you should always add the version you’re using. You say the latest but there’s 2 Possibilities the official release and the early access

Try my video on using midi tracks in Cakewalk let me know if it helps. My goal is to make these tutorials for people just like you and any feedback is welcome. This is #12 of a whole series so you might benefit from watching them all if your new to Cakewalk.

Did you watch the videos? It’s very clear on both audio and midi connections.

Yes it does take more than a week. It’s taken me 20 years ? I don’t have time to do a point by point for your list of things you think Cakewalk doesn’t do but it actually does if you know how. I think the only item on your list is the chords or whatever your using. Sounds like an interesting feature. I have Audacity, I’ve had it since early days. It great software but very basic in features compared to Cakewalk. I consider it more of a wave editor than a DAW. I also have Wave Lab which is not free and it’s not really any better than Audacity. But as with any software you developed a workflow and it is hard to change. And in the history of all software there’s never the perfect one. Cakewalk does 97.3 % of what all the others do. And each does it differently which is why everyone will choose the software that seems to fit to their workflow best. You should probably stay with Audacity and just live without the missing feature if they don’t hold you down.

Change the time signature in the Transport module. You should have done that at the start so you timeline , metronome and other features would be correct. Then you quantize to a 1/4 or smaller but not a whole.
