Hi all,
I own a Positive Grid Spark amp, which allows you to connect over usb and hook up as an audio interface with an ASIO driver.
When I try to record this in Cakewalk, it sounds terrible (bitcrushed and pitched). When I try to record the same in windows 10 voice recorder it sounds fine, which makes me think it is *something* specific to Cakewalk.
What I did:
- Installed the Spark audio driver
- Created a new cakewalk 'basic' project
- Selected 'Spark L/R/S' (tried all 3) on the input of channel 1
- Hit record
- Results sounds like absolute trash
- I double checked that both my project and driver are set to 48khz sample rate. Buffer on driver is set to 512 samples (default).
- Within windows voice recorder the same set up sounds fine
Be warned! I have attached a recording of the terrible result, for all that is holy do not play this file on loud volume you will blow your ears and speakers.

Fixed! Thanks everyone for thinking along, the issue could easily be fixed by changing the driver mode in preferences. I simply didnt know where to look. Changed driver mode from WASAPI shared to ASIO and now everything sounds like it should
