USB mikes are a waste of money because you can’t use them like a proper mike with professional audio equipment. No XLR cable. 
And most have no audio driver so  your system will never be working properly. 
Your actually better off using the little jack but then you waste more money on adapters. 
 

Yes Mikes video is telling people to use asio4all instead of WASAPI mode. I guess he’s never looked into how on board audio works in W10 now. And the cheaper Behringer interfaces use asio4all so don’t buy one.

Ah, but they do go there if you record/import audio to a project before saving it with an actual path set up.

Yes which is is exactly why you shouldn’t do that. One should be in the habit of always naming and saving before adding anything to a new project when using templates 

Thats one point against the start screen. The old dialogue box accessed from File/New  allows you to name your project and choose the location. It seems the start screen was not well thought out. 

There’s also possible the ability to take the sample and manipulate it in a wave editor 

Roland or Yamaha.  Or are you lusting after a new QWERTY ?

I live in Grand Forks BC. We have a huge Russian population here. The alphabet uses different letters sort of the same as Greek. 
When we were in Greece I could actually read the signs because of my understanding of the caricatures.
  Canada is very multi cultural and although English is the main language  you certainly need to respect other dialects. In My community hearing Russian is sort of a day to day thing  just like hearing Spanish in LA  
Personally I can not even understand what some people ask in English because they have zero language skills these days. ?

The op has  the controller correctly set up there is no need for the M audio cable  The Casio is recognized by Cakewalk so that shows there’s a proper midi driver present  

The op needs to set the Casio as the input to a Simple instrument track and it should be fine  

Good question and if someone has a easy answer I’m waiting 

Project audio should not be going to the global folder if you do things properly. 
In preferences under folders set your project pathway to your new drive and folder. 
Always make sure you check the copy audio box when saving new projects 

I just watched Mikes video and he has people using asio4all. Shame. Can’t recommend that one. 

If you are using your laptop sound system then do not use ASIO. Use WASAPI. There are known issues with Real tech ASIO driver. 

Yes look at the screen shots. It clearly shows Casio USB as input device so the driver is properly installed. I think this is a simple matter of not knowing basic set up for audio and VST instruments 

Your keyboard is correctly set up. Only select that as your input. You can disable all midi outputs if you’re not using those.

I see you had that properly set 

What I see in your screen shot is the VST is output to +1. This should be set to your master buss

Do you have audio from your master? Play the metronome to test set it to play on playback and hit the space bar.

That link is pretty outdated info must have been windows 7 era.  |With W10 it's a 2 second trip to Settings/Sound/ Manage Sound devices to disable any unwanted sound devices.

It's one of the first things any DAW user setting up their audio should have done. This keeps Cakewalk and all audio apps focused on your interface. I never have conflicts and especially when I stay with 44.1. 

 I only have the on board enabled right now because I am making tutorials to demonstrate how to set this up. This immediately seems to cause problems for Movie Studio and VLC player. If I disable on board everything always works I have no need for on board sound output.   Pretty easy to toggle on and off if you need it. 

Here the where you set windows clock rate-  Settings/Sound/ Output device/ Additional device properties. 

Not be rude but all you need to do is use Google. There seems to be a lot of info 

 It must be something to do with how you choose to insert the synth get this with all choices of Simple instrument track.

I get this when I choose a split instrument track.

For smooth sailing best to choose a sample rate and stay with it. 
Go into windows sound settings and make sure the same sample rate is set there as was set in Cakewalk  

Well that's a good report from the latency monitor so seems your PC is not the issue. To make sure run it while your working in Cakewalk for a few hours. Most times it just internet stuff causes issues. 

At this point it looks like you need to run the correct audio driver. An Audio interface with a good ASIO driver will ultimately be the best solution, But for now you should be able to use on board audio with WASAPI mode. But as I said just make sure none of those other drivers are conflicting. Make sure your computers sound card is the only device showing in all the audio preferences and especially in the Sync and Cashing - Device box. 

You are correct. I just clicked the link from my iPhone and it says it was not for this device and seem to be for iPads only. 
It didn’t get a very good review anyway. 

You must mean for auto panning right? 

For trimming songs try a wave editor. Better workflow and this is what they do best. 
select - delete- save as. Done

Have you tried to figure out if this is caused by a certain VST? From what you have said this would be the first thing I would try. It could be an effect or a instrument

Also you don’t say if you’re using an audio interface or on board sound chip. If using on board totally get rid of ASIO4ALL and Real tech ASIO drivers and use WASAPI shared or exclusiveThe Real tech ASIO driver is a well known issue  

You create the track layout you want including it being in a folder and you save that as a template.
