    The sound chip in your MAC doesn't support ASIO. As suggested, get an audio interface with drivers written for audio production. Even if you get it running with the on-board sound chip, your performance of your MAC and DAW will suffer and the sound quality will suffer as well

    Do you have boost 11? or any other limiter? just insert the effect at the bus level in the effects bin. If you do no have a limiter, set up a compressor with a ratio that is at least higher than 10 and the attack as short as possible. Threshold and release you ca play with until it catches all peaks

    Just for the sake of doing it and ruling it out real quick, raise your ASIO buffers (if you are in asio) and try again. if you are at a buffer of 128, raise it to 512. If you are at 256, raise it to 1024

    Maybe you are looking for something like a pitch wheel. You can automate a pitch shifter's knob that controls the pitch and you can get an even rise up to the 12th or down to the 12th. If you have Melodyne, try it with that.

    If it was input echo, it would happen all the time. I'm thinking it may be something electrical, if its happening intermittently.

    I really never chosen a tempo. When i write a song, the tempo is there already. When i pick up a guitar and start writing a song, as soon as I find the verse, intro or even the chorus, the tempo of the song is the tempo i am playing it at when i wrote it. Its all feel for me..

    Im a Windows 10 user and the only thing i did when i installed the PVC with win 10 on it is to make sure all my USB hubs never go to sleep. That's it! with today PC's, there is no need to tweak PC's and turn off things. They are plenty strong enough to handle it. The days of turning off antiviral software and disabling things have been gone for a decade,if you have a semi newer PC

    Maybe this program is a casualty of the past events. I cannot get mine to register and work either. I loved it for converting files. Thats all i used it for.
  9. CJ Jacobson
    Just make sure you install the most current drivers for your OS and make sure the M Audio Oxygen has the latest firmware. It hooks up via USB and then you just define the MIDI ins into the DAW and it will work

    I would get a dedicate audio interface. Always keep your signal chains simple stupid. Also, you need an audio interface from what im reading... This is bad! Trumpet /flugelhorn are mono and mics are mono, with a few exceptions. You need mono paths. Listen, your weakest link is that you are using a Realteck integrated sound chip. There good for listening to Youtube and and other apps, but for audio production, they are not built for that. so you will always run into problems using it. Even if you solve this one, you'll run into another one very soon..

    That looks like a que mix to me, all audio interface mixers are like that. That one is pretty straight forward. its nice!
  12. CJ Jacobson
    For that, you will need a headphone amp/mixer like the one i have, the Sampson S Phone 4 channel headphone amp/mixer, if you want more than 2 headphone mixes to be heard by more than 2 people at the same time. Audio interfaces only come with 1 or 2 headphones connections and most just come with one. Then you would rout each headphone mix from your DAW and sound card cue mix

    To avoid any problems, such as the ones you are having, its in your best interest to use a audio interface made for music production and not use the on-board sound chip. The line out of your on-board sound-chip, is prob stereo. a dedicated audio interface will have 2 main outs that can connect to a mixer. But the question is why are you connecting a mixer to line outs? Studio monitors go to line outs of your sound card in most cases..

    Careful!! They test these things on very very powerful computers with awesome motherboards to get the lowest possible latency. Be careful what you read and believe. a lot is marketing hype disguised as facts. You are more than likely going to get a higher round trip latency then what they report.

    I ran into this in the past with a few files that were sent to me and i did the same thing you did, but i used Pyro to convert the file into a wave file. I never figured it out, as all my settings for importing were checked and doubled checked. Pretty sure its a bug

    Cakewalk hangs

    CJ Jacobson replied to Eve Ripper's question in Q&A

    Your laptop specs are not good in my opinion. A 5200 RPM hard rive is below the minimum requirements and 4 gigs is below it also. this is why it hangs, it cannot handle the work-load. To fix it: Get a dedicated hard drive for all your audio that spins at 72000 RPM and load more Ram into your laptop, if you can

    I would try adjust the loop end/start point just be a few millisecs. Maybe its stopping at a non-zero crossing and this is why its pooping.

    You have some tools that you can use. Melodyne and audio snap. With Melodyne, you can create a tempo map with it. This might make it 90bpm, instead of 89.893 bpm. With Audio Snap , follow this: This will sync an audio clip to the project tempo 1. Select the audio clip or clips that you want to follow the project tempo. 2. Press 'A' to open the Audio Snap palette. 3. Click and select the 'Clip Follows Project Tempo' button The clip is synchronized to the project’s tempo map. This is just one way, as audio snap has many ways to do things like this

    You may have your manual offset set wrong. I would re-profile your audio interface and make sure to try all driver modes to see what works best for you. ASIO driver mode is mostly the best, Also, it could be a plugin effect, if you are using it for recording, as some have hidden buffers and those are not meant for recording, just mixing and mastering.

    Strange MIDI Behavior

    CJ Jacobson replied to sjoens's question in Q&A

    MIDI tacks are just data. The MIDI tracks are always associated with an audio track that outputs the sound. Otherwise, you get no sound. Now if you have been using instrument tracks for your MIDI, mutes would have worked.
  22. CJ Jacobson
    For the silent bus, that means that the master bus has not outputs to any active main outs. Is your audio interface profiled in cakewalk. So the master bus needs to be outputted to the main outs 1/2 of your audio interface. You may need to define your audio interface first, then hook up your MIDI Keyboard to Cakewalk/sonar/DAW

    Auto-save doesn't save instantly. Pressing 's" when its key-binded after every edit would have saved it, not auto save. Autosave doesnt save it instantly.
  24. CJ Jacobson
    What he said above You should always save every minute or so when doing anything that changes the project. This is what i do, I key-bind the 'SAVE' feature to the letter 'S' and i press it after i make edits. I never wait until the end of a session to save, unless the session is 10 seconds...

    Its probably using a different algorithm for playback and rendering. A lot of those types of Time-stretching plugins do that. check the internal settings of the Time-stretch plugin.
