As usual it's right under your nose if you right click the track header.

That doesn’t work for me. I have to use Safari. Both Chrome and Edge have never shown images from the documentation for me for years on all my computers. I tried all the suggestions offered. The web site is funky and that’s all there is to it.

This is why for the longest time I’ve used only 48. 44.1 should be mothballed. It serves no purpose in recording anymore. And don’t tell me because of CD’s. I drag and drop my 48/24 wave files into Nero and it converts and burns them no problem.

I think you’re right and I should shut up and stick to making videos. Just finished another a few minutes ago. So thanks! you just did me a big favour. Ah the things I can now do with the spare time I’ll have.

I do believe that is what has to happen because the original audio has not changed in it's folder, but is held in limbo by the tool that has altered it. So it is not accessible to any other editing functions until you render it. This is true of all editing tools , like Melodyne and even with the step sequencer you can't edit the data until it is rendered . Bounce to clip only takes a half a second so I wouldn't be too upset about the necessary extra move.

Before I had the Motu my workaround was very clunky. I had to use a small mixer and could only use WASAPI shared mode. That always sucked to have to change from ASIO and reconnect my mike etc. The loopback is a simple solution to bring Cakewalks output back to other software without leaving ASIO mode or making any changes to you whole set up. There is always a possibility that the software you are using is limited in features and the loopback can create a feedback loop. This hasn't happened to me in OBS. And looks like Zoom fully supports my Motus features.

Whoops, good catch I guess I didn't follow closely enough what was said. Looks like Tom has it covered.

Update: I got a PM from the OP @Robert Hale I will apologize for above statement but only to a point. This is the internet and I'm allowed to get grumpy with people who don't follow through with being engaged in the threads they start when asking for help. This is because I felt like us "helpers" are being ignored. All you need is one Thread. Ask for help and you will get it. It often might take 3 pages to resolve issues but the folks here will keep trying BUT- that is only when the poster remains actively involved. We can see that you have actually visited the forum but for some reason did not respond to further questions. Starting new threads with different titles might fool a few people but many of us actually do pay attention. Seems where we left off in the other thread(s ) was the Behringer interface is one of the rare models available that does not come with ASIO drivers. This put you in a unique and awkward position. Our standard advice for people without Audio interfaces using Computers audio system is use WASAPI mode and do not attempt to record audio unless you are willing to adjust the timing offset. WASAPI is all you need for DAW playback and editing loops etc but needs to be manually synced so tracks will be in time. Recording audio, specifically the Overdubbing new tracks, requires ASIO drivers which 99% of the audio interfaces available will have. You were just unlucky and bought that 1%. It seems you did watch my videos, so good, all this is covered as well as what you will do when you trade the Behringer for an interface that does come with ASIO. Your currant issues are directly related to drivers and basic understanding of how to record audio in Cakewalk. My videos as well as dozens of other excellent videos will help with that. And if you prefer to read the documentation is a very good way to learn just about anything about Cakewalk.

??? If you don’t install the sample library there’s probably no sound from the VST!

I don’t normally get too grumpy but this is at least the 5th thread about this. Sort of waisting our time.

Funny you posted the same thing in 2020. I can only wonder if you are still using the same computer?? I've never owned a Presonus but I do believe they have very good ASIO drivers and it should not be the cause of your problem>>>> Unless you have the issue I had with my Motu M4. I needed more USB power. I had to add a PCI card with up to date USB 3.1 drivers because my computer was so old. I actually still have some minor issues so I just bought a USB C PCI card and will be installing later today. Bus Power has always had it's down side. Did you ever run the Resplendent latency test as recommended back then?

Thanks for your support. I don’t get a heck of a lot of that.

The last update was over 6 months ago and I have probably done a lot of copy and pastes in the that time period with out issues. Possibly a few details of exactly when this is not working would help clarify your issue. Saying that restarting Cakewalk fixes the issue points at something you are doing is different than normal.

For me getting out and playing my originals in front of totally unknown audiences and getting a good response makes it all worth it. Locking yourself in a studio is not how you get known or any appreciation. There is still a whole world out there that loves to hear something other than those same old cover tunes. And they seek it out as live music, not recordings. Try it, you'll like it. With the zillions of recording I've made both of my own and clients very little of it went beyond a small handful of people listening to it. I've think it's the nature of the beast. Without a proper record label behind an album or song release it will be doomed to obscurity for sure. And now the game is changing and instead of record labels we have a new type of Vulture asking for money to make your song a hit. Ya right. I bet they get enough suckers to make it profitable. $22.95 x 1,000 suckers =$ 22,950.00 not a bad annual income.

How many threads are you going to start about this same topic. You have been given very clear advice on what your issue is. Your Audio interface is your problem. If you hope to move forward and record any audio you ( as we all keep telling you) will need an audio interface with proper ASIO drivers, you have even received some excellent recommendations as in the Focusrite Solo would be a huge step up for possibly on a few more dollars than you paid for the Behringer. And I'm not sure if you have followed my Tutorials which would also clearly explain all these questions. We all would truly like to see you get this sorted out, that's what this forum is for. But starting threads and abandoning them and starting new threads is not going to work well here. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL7YqVth30eGt7K5L5fUIUF_UjCsdAVCbd

If these are audio tracks what I do is to export the tracks from the first project. Make sure the range is starting at zero. Leave the export location open afterwards.( a Second monitor is handy) Now open the other project and simply drag and drop those tracks to that project. Of course the tempo will have to be identical. If it’s midi I drag and drop with the 2 open. just resize to fit screen. Another option is copy paste as mentioned above. both audio and midi. The reason I prefer to export audio as a track or stem is it will be starting at zero. And if the track was split up then there’s no weirdness

Looks like the OP was overwhelmed. Didn’t seem to read or understand anything posted about the fact the interface is useless.

Yes as @mettelushas said get rid of all other audio devices. Open windows settings/ sound / manage sound devices and disable all but the Motu. The only other issue might be is that Zoom is not set up to recognize ASIO. I’ll try it later. Just off to set up for a gig.

If all the tracks are routed to a bus and all the buses are routed to the Master bus and in your case the master bus should be routed to headphones as that is you main out source being used for export. Check each tracks output and then check the buses. If a bus is not going to the master that might explain why.

For pre recorded clips that fade out the easy way would be to first turn up the gain to max and then turn down the fader to get it so it is not in danger of clipping. Now simply automate the track and push the fader back up during the fade out trying to match the slope in reverse. Edit the automation so that there is no noticeable difference in level. Now bounce this to a new track. Im not sure how you can deal with clipping if the meter is small? Do you use a third party meter? The Gain only adds 18 d b . If that was not enough you might have to do this twice.

It might depend on the streaming app but in OBS the Motu Loopback is an option as the desktop audio input. There’s a Loopback and a Loopback mix. Try each one.

Ok I now actually get it. Selecting “ Entire Mix” should ignore any highlighted tracks. Only selecting “Tracks” should export stems. I guess we learn the work around and don’t even notice we are doing it.

I just read this whole thread and at no point did anyone mention the existence of the infamous hidden view that clearly shows you what you have selected to export. It's another example of Cakewalk like to hide important features so as not to overwhelm the new users with more than 2 items in a view. I just about spewed my coffee when I read a post the other day where a user couldn't figure out how the change the Start screen back to icons??!! Not possibly their fault as the toggle is kinda small and not a giant Smiley face. But in the Export dialogue the default is to hide the track selector you see on the right in the Source view. Why it is hidden is the cause of many a thread like this. If the OP used this view they would no longer , like me, require to use Select all or none as in the past. I always use entire mix but I took this screens shot to show someone how to also use the arranger to export alternate versions of songs. Once you open this view and I think save the workspace later it always will show. The Export dialogue is amazing in my opinion and once I took the time to explore all the features I have never had a screw up unless I wasn't paying attention. My only gripe is pre sets don't save export locations. Those apparently are per project.
