  1. 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?
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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
  6. 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.

    Rewind to landmarks (W)

    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.
  8. 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.
  9. 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?
  10. @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
  11. 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.
  12. 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.
  13. 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.

    Rewind to landmarks (W)

    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%
  15. Ok you just found out why it was free. I have tried 100’s of freebies and generally only 1 in 30 are any good. Some are so bad you have to wonder why they even exist
  16. What's so hard about dragging to the timeline? takes 2 seconds for a short clip. I see it's top of Marks list too. I usually do this with live recordings to see what the closest tempos was in general. But it does depend on which track I use to do this, that's why I said it depends on what the audio clip is from. Obviously sustained sounds won't work.
  17. I remembered the thread because I was going to warn them about penalty's for over use of Smiley faces which is against the forums rules oops a smiley face , I didn't do that, must be the software...
  18. Older thread but I just found this while looking at all the tutorials I discovered a similar trick one day when a client asked if I could add a little bit of reverb while they tracked. I had just changed my set u and didn’t want to re patch everything so I simply put input echo on, set the send to the reverb bus on pre fader and turned down the track fader. The reverb came through the back end with the tiny bit of slap back delay which actually sounded good.
  19. I think if you drag it to the timeline Melodyne should show the tempo but depends on material. Then undo the change. or try opening in Melodyne Some delay effects have tempo detection
  20. The OP is trying to use not one, but two third party audio drivers. Both are totally unnecessary.
  21. Your only making life complicated by using that app. It doesn’t do anything you can’t already do with your on board audio settings. in my signature is a link to my tutorials Watch the one on on board sound and follow the instructions and you will have sound
  22. Are you making a GM compatible file to share on line? As far as I remember any of the Settings like reverb and chorus need be added to the event list. I don’t think TTs 1 settings are saved in a midi file. Pretty sure it’s always been like that
  23. I watched some of those and as I said, some are outdated, the screen looks totally different in most as I guess they are from Sonar Plat. They are a good starting point but I also understand by watching some of them why people will say they watched the videos and still don't get it. Example watch the one on setting up midi and it's real good and too the point but it ends without explaining about how to connect that track to a soft synth. I then couldn't find the follow up. I plan on watching all of the videos just to make notes.
