When I saw the title and then the date of the OP I right away thought- Oh I bet the new tempo track will do this.

Pro Studios will have both PC and Mac machines. They also have to keep the machines loaded with most of the popular Daw's including Cakewalk. Sure the mega studios are different but who really cares what they are doing, that's another world outside most peoples dreams. I'm taking about the 1,000's of working studios which are trying to survive in this DIY market. Lately I've run across more interviews with the people running these studios and they do mention using Cakewalk from time to time. Of course Studio 1 has become sort of the standard, and most people might use Pro Tools but it's rare you'll hear them say it's there favorite DAW. Musicians are starting albums at home and then they pay the studio for certain parts like drum tracking or vocals or mix down. Gone are the days of albums being recorded live in a proper studio. Very few will be done that way these days. These musicians are just like us and they eventually try all the daws and some might settle on Cakewalk. It's not much talked about in interviews with the bands because why would the fans care. And you still will see lists of the 10 most popular DAW's and Cakewalk isn't on that list but the internet has more way more false information than it has facts. And ya Cakewalk is free and therefor has no advertising budget and therefor you won't see it reviewed by the magazines.

I’ve always had mixed results on this topic. The 2 choices for creating a tempo map of a live recording are Audio Snap or drag to the timeline and see if Melodyne can sort it out. Audio Snap can take 4 -8 hours per song so not an option for 30 or more songs In the end it’s just fine to work with out having the tempo and the grid matching the songs. No difference then back before we had a DAW. I have to have a solid reason for the map before I spend that much time making it work. But to answer your question it seems to make less of a mess if you use the Musical Time for live clips. But as I say, I get mixed results. Someday I will figure this out and I bet I can get it to work once I do that.

I just checked.. I have never touched the configuration settings because I have no clue what any of that is for.. both my machines are set to 2. I defiantly didn't do this. Cakewalk must figure it all out somehow.

And if you’re talking about midi notes then those you use Quantization in Piano Roll View. Watch the tutorials on editing midi.

Just so others reading this don’t get wrong ideas. You can absolutely use on board audio as long as you are aware of it’s in ability to sync overdubs properly. And for sure Cakewalk and Windows like WASAPI modes best I use on board audio with out issues on my office computer. You can do a lot of stuff like editing and midi. But if you’re future plans are to record audio you need an audio interface with ASIO drivers or you will have sync issues.

You should watch the tutorials on the subject of working with audio clips. There’s a lot of them.

This is the second time that the forum has moved my post up the page?? It belongs as the last post. Is this only on this Question and Answer forum? Weird

Myself if I start an export of a 3 min song and the progress bar isn’t trotting along at the expected speed I stop the process and investigate what’s wrong. I know that’s not much help but it has happened many times to me that a 3 min song has extra info past the end and yep 99% of the time it is due to a volume envelope. A big huge marker that says “ End” would be a nice feature.

Yes that's pretty important. Why on earth would they update to a broken driver? And how would any body know that as like @Larry Jones I can't find that info. And is this for your device only or for all in the series? But it might explain the OP's issue if they are using a bad version of the driver. Behringers drivers have always been a bit of a quandary. Like they even are recommending ASIo4all which is totally not needed any more because Windows uses WASAPI. Are they that out of touch with Windows? It would be a shame if they can't supply a good ASIO driver because the Hardware seems to offer the best bang for the buck in features.

Did you install the ASIO driver from the Behringer's support page under downloads? Sometimes it helps if you read the instructions or watch the video supplied with the products. Even the Sweetwater page has a ton of information about this interface. https://www.behringer.com/downloads.html

I missed that line.. But then I also missed that they have So while your waiting for Cakewalk people to help you could try looking in your Passwords in Google Chrome if you have it and it will have saved the correct password. Here you see the Cakewalk.com is the one you need.

Out of curiosity- Did you try logging on to Command Center? That's what works for me. It's not your Bandlab password, its what every you used as your Sonar Sign on for the forum etc. I think it was called Single Sign In. I Install Command Center and before I run it, I copy all my files from my CCC Download folder backup to the new Download folder. This way CCC installs everything real fast.

That's a good idea. One trick that I also tried and it worked was use drum replacer. That will filter out all the mike bleed because now you can use a midi VST instrument for the source. Freeze the synth and then use that. Problem is all of this is time consuming so you really need to want that song to make that sort of time commitment.

What is the make and model? If the drum machine is like one my son owns it is an audio interface as well. So the USB is not only midi, but audio too. If you are trying to record it to an audio track and have input echo on, shut it off. This might cause a feedback loop. Otherwise if you are only using midi tracks it is possible to also create a midi loopback so same thing, disable input echo.

I have a lot of older live band recordings I'll mess around with when I have time. And always dreamed of a tempo match up so I can edit and add midi parts. It's funny how the Melodyne trick either works or it creates a mess. I did find it seems to work if you have a hi hat track. It must like that frequency and the patterns. But this is only with a standard boring rock and roll pattern. It certainly makes a mess of anything different like 6/8 time or blues shuffles. I even tried to create a midi click track playing along with the song as close to time as I could and use that... nope always screws the audio up. The audio snap method might be the only solid solution but the time involved is not worth it for this sort of material. So I just add the midi parts like any real musician would and try to actually play in the pocket. And the the shift key was a new one for me so thanks @Kevin Perry for that. I used to just zoom way in.

I wished I had stayed with 48 back when. Now I'm working with video the 44.1 is a PITA. I had to use 44.1 because that's all my Yamaha 01V mixer supports and I was using it for the digital connection. 44.1 also made sense in the making a CD era too. But now everything I do is either a MP4 or a MP3. I still burn CD's for proofing in the car but it's pretty easy to just change Cakewalks export to 44.1 / 16. Anyhow, glad it worked for you.

I think it's more to do with the drivers for your audio interface than Cakewalk. Example I have no issues when using my much older Scarlet interface. I can leave Cakewalk open and go watch a movie. It supports all diver modes etc. But my brand new Motu M4 behaves terribly with sharing. And it only supports ASIO and WASAPI. I have to shut down Cakewalk now before opening Movie Maker or watching some videos. I imagine this is due to sample rates. In other words, Cakewalk is running at 44.1 and you can't do anything else that is running at 48. But I have no Idea why this is not a problem for my Focusrite. You do hear a little click when it switches.

Funny this morning there are 3 threads that all have the same answer- Use WASAPI.

Which video did you watch? I have a bunch and each one is about something different. So I'm not sure what you are saying when you say my video said to use a midi interface? Which model of Behringer did you purchase? Does it have midi ports? And do you need them? as in you are trying to record midi via a midi keyboard that does not have USB but has 5 pin style midi ports.

Well your back after (edit) 7 months Your complaint is kinda odd at least to the majority of us who are used to having to actually put a little effort into our craft. Things like this are just a routine habit.

I only have one gripe about the Tungstun Theme and that is the Black PVR screen. Years ago I fixed this and saved a custom Theme as "My Tungstun" It still shows on both my computers as an option but as most will know you can't use these anymore or your workspace graphics will go nuts. Half of the icons are hidden etc. So after putting this off for a few years I really need to make this one change and I have basically given up after (only) an hour of trying to figure this out. So I opened the theme editor and opened and saved "My Tungsten" and according to directions this should update this theme to the currant format. Nope, Still screwed up. S0 I loaded the default Tungsten theme and tried my best to modify it so the PVR is white.. I get different variations all of which are unusable!! OK so I could use Mercury which solves the PVR issue but now I'm a bit peeved I have a very bright pastel looking track view!! Why on earth do we only have 2 bad choices and are forced to use a theme editor that only a very advanced programmer could possibly figure out. So does anybody out there have a modified Tungsten with a white background on the PVR? I'll send a virtual bottle of Whiskey if you do!

Obviously nobody else experiences this. Even huge complicated projects only should take a minute to export on a modern computer. On the rare time I've seen this issue it was either a weird plug in, ( you tested this ) or as scook has pointed out a song with no end, or your computer is bunged up because the hard drive you are writing to is either full or faulty.
