I can't believe your still using it. Just find something that works, there must be 6,000,000 kick drum samples kicking around.

A related issue with this is I find that the first synth in the rack will be automatically associated with a new midi track. This is a not a problem if you are inserting a new synth as you can add the associated midi track then by checking the bo. But if you add a new midi track you want to use with an existing synth then you have to remember to change it's output. Being able to drag the synth to the top of the rack first would defiantly be one solution to that issue.

Not sure if this will work, I used to have times that after a lot of midi edits the program would become slow to respond, but if I saved the project it would perk up again. Sort of like you can only stuff so much into the undo function or? Just thinking that I haven't had this happen for a long time now.

If you have an audio interface with a loopback feature, you simply add the Loopback to as your Desktop audio input in OBS - This brings your DAW or any app that is playing sound into OBS. The beauty of this feature is you don't need to mess with your ASIO driver set up. I found it a huge PITA to change to WASAPI shared just to make a video. I'd often forget I'd done this which causes problems when just using Cakewalk. Now I never have to change drivers or devices or anything. And I can fire up OBS in 2 seconds and start recording. For Narration I add my Interfaces Input 1/2 as a the Mike channel input. For the DAW playback you add the Loopback as the desktop audio input to OBS. It gives me 2 audio inputs and 2 level controls so I can mix the balance between DAW playback and narration in real time as I record like I see you did in the video. I'm not sure, but I think that FL studio ASIO driver is sort of like the Steinberg or asio4all drivers which can take over your proper drivers functions. If you use it, and then switch back to ASIO, make sure to double check in Sync and cashing that your interface is the device for sync. I highly recommend getting your hands on a interface with a loopback if you want to do hassle free live streaming or just screen capture and not have to change driver modes to do so. Otherwise this seems like a good solution for those who don't have a loopback option.

This is not a cakewalk issue it is a audio interface issue

So you don’t believe in external drives just because 1 in a million died on you.

I don't understand? The space bar will do this? I use the W to rewind to start. I use the space bar for playback control and the behavior is to always pause or start. If I open a new project I might have to change this but it takes 1 second to hit Ctrl W, -- I do it without even thinking. I even have a USB footswitch that is programed to use Spacebar/ R and the W keystrokes and rarely have to reach for the keyboard while tracking. I use other programs, Wave editors, Movie editing, movie and audio players and they all behave the same. It's just automatic for me to use the space bar.

I just looked up your interface because you never did say if it uses a software mixer,, I notice it has a loopback feature. Are you choosing this as your input source? The other possibility is the loopback circuit is leaking into the channel input circuit. But this is odd that the headphone jack would be involved. No matter what, I think it's either a design flaw or defectives. You should really contact Adient as this is clearly an issue with the interface and not Cakewalk. Unless you are using the loopback as your input to the tracks which I doubt.

Yes but Overloud was very good to us and if you contacted them they handed out activation licenses for all our Overloud products. I still get e mails from them so they treat me as a paying customer. The question is.. do people who only have Cakewalk by Bandlab have Breverb and TH3? To get a activation code you send them a screen shot of your Sonar About screen showing your serial number.. if they are still doing this.

DO you have another set of headphones? It's certainly a weird one as in my understanding of how things work I would not figure on a output device leaking via the internal circuits into an input device. It should make no difference if the headphones are plugged in with interfaces circuits. Unless like I asked- is there a software mixer involved here?

OK, so your interface is leaking playback into the newly recorded tracks. You will need to do some tests. With nothing plugged into the interface. Turn up the gain to at least 3 o clock. Set up you monitoring same as you did before. Now arm and record a new audio track. If you hear the playback in the new track your interface is defective.

Sorry I missed the fact you were refering to a song that you had re arranged using that feature. I just thought you were recording out of sync. This does sound like a possible bug with that new feature.

OK that narrows it down Normally there should be zero crosstalk between tracks in Cakewalk. My first troubleshooting would be to outside of Cakewalk, go to the audio folder for the project and find the tracks with the crosstalk. Play those tracks , you can usually just double click and Media Player will play them. If there is crosstalk still then you have somehow managed this durring the recording process. It could be a defect in your interfaces signal path. So question what make and model is your audio interface? Does your interface have a software mixer? If there is no crosstalk present in the wave files then you must have a signal path issue in Cakewalk, like an aux send etc.

Are you using an audio interface or on board audio. Watch these videos as they explain https://youtu.be/iAeqy0nW5uY About on board audio https://youtu.be/Avtw7dOb0fM About keeping audio in sync with ASIO

It looks like you used VST instrument for drums and then played guitar and bass. How did you record those this is what is important. Did you use an audio interface? If using on board audio how do you connect your instruments? Did you plug them in direct or use a mike? If you used a mike that explains the leakage from your monitors or even headphones if they are loud.

Ctrl W toggles the spacebar behavior. If I hit the space bar the song starts, hit it again it stops the song in place. If I toggle Crtl W it now rewinds to the beginning. I just tried this and it works ( of course) W will always return to the beginning. Ctrl Home will also go to beginning.

Storage is cheap. You can get a 2 TB External drive for $100. No need to zip. I have 3 of them as well as my Daw pc has a 1TB drive for most of my CWP files.

This seems the most probable device in question. I was assuming it was the modern version but there is references to UA-4fx2. @Erden Mensch Is this your interface or the one at the bottom?

@scook I'm looking again at the screenshot and I'm seeing on the midi track #4 output 35MDSP4 which Google does not bring me any results. Your good at this. What output device could that be? I was expecting the output to be to the UA-4FX midi port. Might this be a device like a midi sport? To make it even more confusing the midi #3 track about shows 15MDSP4

It’s not recording midi if what I assumed about your connections is true it's recording the audio from the Korg which was created from the playback of your midi track #4. You didn’t answer or explain anything at this point still, so I still have to guess. The audio from your Korg is being mixed with your Guitar input. This is the design of the interface as those inputs are shared. You either need another audio interface that has 4 individual inputs or a small mixer that you set up just for monitoring. You don't need to buy anything if you change how you are doing this-- ( workflow) Insert the VST instrument SI drums and use that as the drum sounds. Set the output of the midi track to the SI drums. Not the UA-4FX. It would be best to disable midi out put of the UA-4FX. This might even be what your question was about. If you uncheck all midi outputs this will " deactivate midi " going to the Korg. If you ever want the sounds from the Korg then you would just check the box again and record the audio. I don't have a interface hooked up to this computer. The midi output will probably say UA_4FX.

Like @Kalle Rantaaho I have see a lot of posts where corrupt bundle files were involved. So I have also assumed that they can become corrupted because of this. At no point on this forum has anyone explained otherwise that I am aware of. Seems all of us who have been here a long time when the word bundle comes up cringe, and this is why. So now we can further assume that those threads involved older bundles made before the fix. See why we need Staff to monitor us @Noel Borthwick ? Thanks for the clarification about bundle files we will add this to the common knowledge database.

You should stick with cakewalks Normal or CWP files. They are what are stable ' Save as a CWP file and Cakewalk will create a folder with everything inside. , and very easy to back up whole project folders.

Ctrl W toggles this between rewind to start and rewind to last start position Do your self a big favour and print off the keyboard shortcuts they are a lifesaver and speed up your workflow 100%
