Ok that’s different when you said remote room monitoring I bought a set of Sony Bluetooth headphones from Costco a few years ago. $75. My wife stole them and won’t give them back. Paired with her laptop so she can listen to her art lessons without the cable to trip over. Always worked. I was disappointed with the latency for studio use.

So it’s not clear what you want? Do you want to use it as an input device? Did you follow the instructions in the video on how to set this up? It’s under manage sound devices

I just noticed this I'll assume this is a iso booth for recording new tracks. ? If so your best bang for the buck is a small mixer with at least 2 balanced inputs. The Client ( or you?) then can have full control of the headphone mix. How I do this. Run a balanced cable(s) from output 3/4 of my audio interface to the mixer. It needs to be balanced if the run is 10' or more. Depending on the mixer routing you should be able to set up a mix of the vocal or guitar amp mike and DAW playback in the phones. Sometimes you have to use a mike cable splitter ( XLR Y cable or Radial box) to send half to your interface and the other half to the little mixer. This system will have Zero latency because it's analog.

You made me nervous until I spotted this. Gear= Enough mikes, stands, mixers, speakers, monitors and lighting to do a small stage with up to 10 musicians performing or recording. Multiples of Guitar, bass and Keyboard amps for backline. 3 drawers full of adaptors and weird thing I forgot why I have. 5 Audio interfaces. 5 mixers, 4 desktop PC'S 5 laptops, processing hardware? lost count, , 3 sets of good studio monitors and various power amps, bunch of miscellaneous passive home stereo speakers, 12 sets of headphones. 4 suitcases full of audio cables. I won't even count how many guitars, Basses, banjos, mandolins, keyboards, drum stuff, percussion. ITS GOTTA GO! All the live stuff for sure. And I'll keep only 6 guitars I think, 1 bass.

And of course the issue is easily solved with proper audio settings

Just be aware that Bluetooth has over 30 seconds of latency. It’s not exactly the best system for overdubs. Fine for playback if you don’t mind the audio degradation Just Google “ Bluetooth Latency “.

Yes this is true for many. $1,000’s worth of guitars, pedals and amps and all it takes to get that connected to a DAW correctly with no hassles is a $100-$300 audio interface. Peanuts ?. But there’s these $20 USB to 1/4” cables on Amazon that never seem to work because they don’t have a good driver. There’s even a Behringer interface that’s like $75 that also never works because it doesn’t have a proper driver. So from experience here on the forum the best advice is to please spend a few bucks more and purchase a proper interface that comes with good ASIO drivers. But we are bashed every time we say this here so it’s a bit of an in joke.

Normally you use track templates to copy settings from project to project. Get a track set up with everything you want including effects and icons and save as a track template. It will also include any buss it was directed to

I’m seeing your video card as the audio driver. Go into Windows sound settings and disable all output devices except the one you are actually using

?Shhh. We’re not allowed to state our opinions about gear. The Furry guy will bust us.

It's not clear why you would ever need to do this? It's generally not a good idea to mess with Cakewalks utility folders. Is there a reason you need to even go into these folders? You can do everything needed from within the Workspace drop down menu. Use the Workspace Manager to make changes and you can delete your own custom spaces but not the factory ones.

Thanks @bdickens for posting my video. You get credit for being the first person here to do that? Edit: November 26, I just updated that video and will leave it posted for a while because it has a lot of views. But here’s the new link for those who find this thread in the future But to the OP , in the video I show you how to check devices in Windows settings. This is we’re your issue will be. Make sure the device shows in inputs not out puts. And use WASAPI. I don’t think those usb cables come with ASIO drivers. And don’t use the Real Tech ASIO driver.

I can this might happen to someone coming from Sonar 7. The start screen shows by default might throw you off

I just updated this to include new info

Ripple editing is a common tool found in both audio and video editing software. In all of those I’m familiar with the cross fade needs to already be there. It’s purpose is to keep everything together when you remove or add a section to a multi track timeline. And it doesn’t always work perfectly no matter the software. To add a cross fade automatically is beyond the scope of the purpose of the feature.

1. Exactly. With the way Cakewalk works any further editing requires you unfreeze the track first. Takes 2 seconds. I can see you might have a workflow you were using in another DAW but this is always an issue if you change between any software as each is different 2. There is 18db of headroom for audio tracks you can use either the gain control or clip gain if it’s just a clip. If that is not enough then use Process/ Audio/ Normalization and set it at the desired max peak level.

The reason is in Cakewalk instrument tracks are audio tracks. If it is a simple instrument track that you freeze Cakewalk renders the midi to Audio and the tracks midi data is not physically present in the track anymore. It is stored as part of the project for retrieving when you unfreeze. So you need to do all your editing when it is midi. There’s no real reason to freeze track unless your maxing out your system and trying to lighten your load.

Your situation only verifies why most peoples workflow with Melodyne is as follows 1. work with a copy of the original 2. work with short clips 3. Render the clip when finished This solves all of your issues. First if you don’t like what Melodyne did to a clip after rendering it’s a 2 second deal to grab a copy of the original and try again. There’s no reason to be afraid of committing a clip. If that isn’t working because the issue with that clip is not fixable with Melodyne then easy to re record that one clip. I think you’re workflow is not very common so therefore the developers won’t be to excited about fixing it.

@Elton Wilson Don’t feel bad What’s happening right now is the developers are working on a proper installer for Cakewalk. Right now we are still stuck with a system that rarely works for new users. There is a secret beta version of the new Web installer that only someone with very high levels of searching the internet would ever find. So congratulations you found it. Thanks to MrCook you now found the secret installer and so you should be good to go.

Absolutely Dell are notorious for bloatware. Are you saying it’s only a duo core and only 2.2 ghz? That’s not very much these days. My HP pavilion I would love to replace because it’s only i7 4 cores @ 3.5. It’s struggling with working with video.

FYI if there are VST 3 available you really don’t need the VST 2 version. Noel just mentioned this in another thread.

Snares need compression to keep them on top but not peaking. There’s one built in to AD you can try but I tend to create 4 outputs for it and 1- kick 2- snare- 3- cymbals 4- every thing else. You can have all 12 outputs but 4 works better for me. I then use the pro channel EQ and the PC 76 compressor for each output

Hey, leave the guy alone, it's best we keep all this great stuff we have a secret?! But ya gotta sort of laugh when you see these threads. Sorry Mr Bit for poking fun at you but truthfully, you need to upgrade.
