As Scook said, latency with midi is due to certain effects, mostly seems the heavy hitters like the LP Multiband type that use "look ahead" buffers. This causes the playback to be delayed even more than the reported latency of your ASIO driver. There's actually no delay of the incoming midi data but it seems like there is. Always bypass all effects while tracking both midi and Audio to avoid this issue. Also lower your audio buffers to 256 or 128 ms. Higher than that you might still "feel" a lag.

Not sure about why your password doesn't work, you need to get in touch with support. but it's pretty easy to just log in using a different name and email. You will see this as they just changed to the new system where you no longer need the Bandlab assistant. You log in directly in Cakewalk. But the first time you open Cakewalk after the update it will ask you to sign in. I just did this this morning.

All audio interfaces have support pages with videos and instructions on how to set them up and get started. Every interface is different. Start buy following the manufactures instructions and learning how your interfaces works. Example it might use a software mixer that you need to set up. There are lots of getting started Tutorial's you should watch as well. Good luck , it won't take you long to figure out the basics if you watch the videos and most certainly post here when you get stuck. https://discuss.cakewalk.com/index.php?/forum/35-tutorials/

The settings in the track inspector will over rule the GUI patch settings. Set Bank and Patch to "none" in the track inspector when you use the GUI to make patch changes. Also check the event list if this is a downloaded midi file. I cover this in my tutorials found in my signature.

Woops, I was refering to Viocemeeter- There's been a few posts about it so I downloaded it and fired it up. It really didn't seem to do anything Windows already does if you know were to look. But that said I bet the solution would be an audio interface with loopback. Most new interfaces have this feature and it's big asset is either live streaming or using stand alone synths. Anything Windows can play becomes an input to your DAW. You can get an interface with Loopback for $100.

The trouble is that things like effects pedals are not proper audio interfaces. They give you the USB option and it is almost always poorly implemented. Obviously the headphone monitoring system is also feeding the USB output. Your incoming signal ( the DAW playback) is being mixed with the output via USB. This is not a Cakewalk issue but is a question for the manufacture of the effect pedal. Read the manual or go to the user forum.

How's it going, good to see your still around. Cakewalk by Bandlab is Sonar Platinum with 1,000 bug fixes. They just changed the name. Most of us will run Command center to grab the goodies. I haven't opened SPlat for a few years now.

You shouldn't need a buffer that high. It actually might cause an issue, not sure. Mine has always been at 256 day in day out. Did you try bypassing izotope?

Glad you got it sorted. As for information, the more details the faster the solution. Otherwise you see what happens is like user 905133 more questions.

This is most likely due to you have a midi loopback happening. The VST instrument is set to output midi data. You can disable that in the VST setting, but the best way is to go into Preferences/ Midi/ Devices and uncheck all outputs. It's a good idea to give us more information about your set up for trouble shooting so I'm having to assume your using a USB keyboard controller.

The best solution in this case would be a proper audio interface. On board audio is very limiting with DAW's. Not only that but if you are recording audio then an proper interface is essential. You need the better quality A/D convertors etc. My computer is very similar to yours. It's an off the shelf HP Pavilion I inherited from my in laws and might just be 2011 too. i7 , 12 GB RAM. My projects never get crazy big as I use it more like a 16 track tape deck. I made a video about interfaces. If your needs are simple it might only cost you under $200.

If your going to do a lot of this I highly recommend getting a simple interface with Loopback. I found this one around $100. https://www.steinberg.net/en/products/audio_interfaces/ur_series/models/ur12.html

Why bother? It doesn't do anything your interface needs to work. There's been a few posts where people were using this and so I tried it myself and came to the conclusion it's more or less useless.

Just to add for what you were doing there, you can also use the fade in and fade out feature. That’s how I normally handle clips. It’s faster than drawing nodes.

Goodness I suffered the MT 32 for 5 years! It was my band. I had the editor made by Jeff Koftinoff . http://www.jdkoftinoff.com/main/Historic_Projects/Atari_MT-32_Editor/ He lived here in our town and later worked for Roland. His family owned the first Computer store here and sold Atari's and Roland. I bought my GR 50 and the MT 32 from them. I had 2 of those things as later a friend gave me there's. I actually chucked them both in the trash a few years ago as I figured not even a collector would want those terrible sounds. I think TTS_1 a little bit better. Edit: thanks to Terry I got the download sorted out . Will try the my 32 VST tomorrow

And you end up with that Generic Driver that you have to delete in the Registry.. I have Cubase 5 so I have Halion and it's not much different than TTS-1. Just a little bit better effects which is easy to rectify with TTS-1 audio tracks. I have never managed to access it in Cakewalk. Haven't tried very had ?

Open the tempo view and manually change the tempo. Not sure if it's possible to use tap tempo as the song plays but not hard just enter new tempos. You might need to read the new release info on Tempo track because everything is different now. You used to be able to draw it and now this is done with envelopes.

Export of a 3 minute song takes less than a minute. If it takes any longer than that stop the process. The most common cause of this would be the song is way longer than the 3 minutes. There was another thread about this the other day and I can't remember the solution. You could try opening the Audio file info box found under "project" and see if any audio tracks are way to big. This is a 4 minute song. You can try this- in preferences change the split point to select "right" as in my screen shot. Go to the end of the project and use Ctrl A to select all, then use S to split at the point you want the song to end. The right portion should remain highlighted. Now use delete.

Yes its actually bad advise to use input echo for recording audio. Its good for midi but with audio you will defiantly hear your round trip latency which in your case 24 ms. Always use your audio interface direct monitoring system to balance the DAW playback with your input signal. If you watch the tutorials found on the Focusrite site they give lots of information about setting this up. Sorry I'm not familiar with their new control panel. Most interfaces have a mix control on the front panel but this is done in the control software for your unit. Here's the support page that will explain how to set things up. https://focusrite.com/en/get-started https://customer.focusrite.com/en/getstarted/begin/P9

Are you using the digital output? Probably not. Because that is the only box checked in audio device outputs it will be the default in your master buss and you won't hear anything from your speakers. Cakewalk goes to the top of the list and will select that as the master buss output. I show you all of this in this video if you haven't watched it yet do so.

It always says that so pay no attention. But your screen shot shows a medium activity which is fine. How long did it run before you took the picture? It looks like only 1 minute. Did it go into the red when you run it for about 10 minutes? There’s lots of info about optimization of W10 for audio. It’s mostly over my head too? The easy things are to go into the windows apps and disable stuff Check task manager to see what’s running

This can be a DPC issue with background applications and interruptions. Down load Latency Monitor https://www.resplendence.com/latencymon Run it and see if there’s an issue. Sometimes you have to disable useless apps and tidy up a few things. It probably would be a good idea to think about getting an audio interface with better drivers. Some on board sound chips just don’t work that good

All of this is covered in my tutorials which are found in my signature.

I have used OBS for a few years now . I always have it on my second monitor and the pre view is always on. The audio part has been the only difficult aspect and I had to use WASAPI shared. But now with my Motu M4 and the loopback I can keep Cakewalk in ASIO mode and I have a volume slide for my mike and for Cakewalks playback. The above video is redundant if your interface has loopback which is for anyone doing screen capture of a DAW almost a must have feature. Sure it's a complicated program. It's actually, when you think of it, just like Cakewalk,, free and fully featured. But there's lots of videos on how to use it. But that's only half the battle. You will also want to purchase a movie editing software and for that most of us are using Vegas Movie Studio. There's lots of great tutorials on that as well. What I like is I can use my VST plug ins on the audio track.
