Yes I got your pm and will be glad to help. There are possibly some of the songs there but those are mostly from my solo act. As I said in my pm I will also share my other files which have some of those song as well.

What buffer settings are you using. 256 should work for your system. Are you using the ASIO driver?

My video was about on board computer audio. It was not about using an interface. If you had told us what you were using I would not have waisted time explaining about that. But I had to assume on board otherwise. I have stated the correct driver mode twice already.

I think we are on to something here. That's not right that the Tascam is forcing back to 48. What I'm thinking is every time you do something the Tascam is jumping back to 44.1 and then when the Audio engine starts it goes to 48. ` I think I'll hook up my us 1641 and see what it does. I think the drivers are very similar for all Tascam interfaces. OK I hooked up my Tascam and it showed 48 when I turned it on. I loaded Cakewalk, still 48, I loaded a 44.1 file and it quietly switched sample rates. I had put the Tascam Control Panel on my second monitor to watch it. So I closed Cakewalk and it stayed on 44.1 I opened Wave Lab and It stayed 44.1, I But I opened a you tube and it quietly changed to 48. And I had my monitors on pretty loud just to listen for any glitches. So I turn off the Tascam and turn on the Motu M4 and it's at 44.1. I played the same You tube that my Tascam changed to 48 and the Motu stayed at 44.1. ? I manually changed the rate to 48 and I got that POP. ITS LOUD>>> I leave it at 48 and open Cakewalk then the 44.1 Project and no pop. Does your control panel look like this. Notice you can't change the sample rate it either says automatic or internal. Thats for the SPDIF.

Audacity supports all formats I do believe.

I hope that Tascam takes note of this as it's surprising how far flung posts like this can go on the internet today. Your title to the tread is perfect as it contains 2 keywords for Google Search. Problems- US us 4x4HR. People with issues or better yet people doing research on what interface to buy might find your post. Hopefully they will be getting other complaints and possibly update the driver. What is odd is Cakewalk and Tascam were working together at one point a few years ago... both owned by Gibson?? If it makes you feel better my Motu M4 also does exactly what you are saying from time to time. My other interfaces never did that. It's got something to do with changing sample rates I figure. Ha- I was right I didn't even finish typing 4x4 And check it out

Not about Melodyne but I was a little worried about your method of using Reverb. I made a quick tutorial which I was going to do anyways.

Audacity is the best place to proof because it will play any audio file. When you open them in Audacity is there a visible wave form ? Do the VU meters move? If there is no wave form then something was wrong with your export. If there is then something is is wrong with your playback system as above.

I'm not sure what the Transfer method is, but I use the Regional effects and work with only short clips. I then render them ( you can also use Bounce to clips) and they are now just regular audio clips and melodyne is gone. The clips will be marked as Melodyne but it is no longer active. But even with Melodyne active on a track your effects send to your reverb or delay buss will still be on line. Unless you are making the mistake of Applying an effect?

Yes that's why having a master is important. Each track might not be peaking but they are summed to the master. Just turn your tracks down equally until the master is OK. Or do like me and put the BT Brickwall on it and slam it! Turn up your studio monitors. A lot of people mix too hot because they have their monitors turned down.

Did you know that TTS-1 can play 16 different instruments in one instance- And it's easy to set it up using 4 different audio tracks. I have more tutorials on using TTS_1 posted here that if the OP ever returns might find useful.. https://sites.google.com/view/cactus-studios/cakewalk-videos

@Starship Krupa Hey did you get that Home studio for free. I remember I started this thread. http://forum.cakewalk.com/Free-copy-of-Home-Studio-m3718860.aspx If you follow the link on my post the web page is still there! https://thesoftware.shop/cakewalk-sonar-home-studio-giveaway/#buy-now Everything seems to still work so I followed through using a dummy email- but here is the dead end for people who never had a Sonar Account. http://www.cakewalk.com/Redeem?kl=16&promo=CM250 There will be no response. But I do believe IF you have a a sign on there's a chance you might get lucky and there will be a backdoor to CA 2A and Rapture. I got this far using my sign in

I was thinking about that as well. I broke my own rule of never reply until the Op responds to first reply

Are you writing original material or just making projects of traditional versions. As said, there are lots of free midi downloads of almost every traditional bluegrass song. It’s well covered in the midi world I have played both progressive and traditional bluegrass as well as I have a lot of original songs in that style. if you are a guitar player then an easy option is play the part on your guitar and then drag that track to a midi track Melodyne will convert to midi. if you need certain songs PM me I probably have it. ps. I hate what Band in. Box puts out. Sounds like a Mall Organ

Easier to do this with a video. Have you watched the tutorials yet?

QL spaces is an East West reverb Did you use this in the template and no longer have it?

This is what quantize does. If none of the settings work then all I can think is your using a none standard time signature To figure out quantize settings take an perfect example of your fill, zoom in and then keep changing the grid settings until you find one that lines up with the notes. Set the grid to triplets and keep going up 1/16. Etc I’d be surprised if it didn’t line up at 1/32 triplets

It’s pretty rare that re installing a DAW will fix audio issues. tell us what is happening and details about your set up. And to answer your question CbB does not trash Sonar. at it’s safe to un install or re install other versions of Cakewalk as each is separate. Your goodies are mostly in the VST folder which is not uninstalled. Most weirdness in audio is caused by the audio driver or a VST’s

Your trying to combine consumer grade gear with pro. Pro gear would have balanced inputs. But the workaround is obvious, Use the headphone jack of the interface.

Just a note about this. I have put the link to my Web Pages in my signature. This way you can easily find this stuff later. This thread will disappear in a few days. And the reason I'm putting the link to One Drive on my Web Page is so I can control the situation better moving forward. I might change the delivery etc. Also I plan on adding more folders so the web page will be a one stop and shop source for all my midi and CWP files. Update: I just added a MIDI file folder with possibly 500 files in it. Sorry about the abbreviation file names but that how we had to work back in the early days. 8 letters per file name. I will honestly try and fix that someday but I think if your going to get stuff for free you have to work for it You might just figure out that HIDOUGH = Blow at High Dough by the Tragically Hip. have fun... Oh and don't expect full tracks from my midi files... Bass and drums mostly badly done on a keyboard. So happy those days are in the past... But the download collections will run the gauntlet from lame to not bad at all. For those who have never played with midi files do this Go to preferences MIDI/Devices and uncheck any output devices. Now just OPEN the midi file and Cakewalk will play it with the TTS-1 WARNING- my Atari files are NOT GM--they will use patch 96 for bass which is like tubular bells I think, It was the Bass patch on my Korg 05/RW

Thank you for the feedback. I made the video because I couldn't actually find one that was up to date. And Cakewalk is just a tiny bit more picky than some other applications that use your sound chip. It is one of the most commonly asked questions from 1st time users. " I can't get any sound!! please help!" In the past most Cakewalk ( Sonar) users always had an Audio interface but now because the program is free there is probably a lot more folks who can't afford real Studio gear but want to try recording. It is amazing that it was not that long ago that any type of recording ( and sequencing) cost a minimum of well over $1,000. Example I now have a FREE VST that replaced my $1,400 Korg Poly 800. Sounds just as good if not better. But as you progress you most certainly will want a good audio interface and studio monitors.

OBS is set up to podcast and recording and it’s easy to add audio tracks with different inputs. You have one set to speakers( desktop) and one set to mike and it will record the sound. Use a small mixer to the mike jack. If you want to use Cakewalk then you will need an interface with loop back like my Motu m4 it think you would need to be in WASAPI shared mode. Not sure what happens if you patch the computer speakers back to the input of you interface

Cubase arms all the tracks when you open a template or insert a new track. Drives me nuts

There’s a 2 page sticky thread about this pretty hard to miss
