Thanks! I appreciate it.

In the photo below I highlighted where it shows that there is only one plugin per track, when there are actually several plugins on those tracks. How do I make all the plugins visible?

Thanks!

This is a little off topic. I apologize. But I'm trying to uninstall a program. In the photo below you see on the left a program called Phil Speiser Control Center. When I click on it, it gives me the option to uninstall, but then it sends me to the window on the right. But the program isn't there. So how do I uninstall the program from my computer?

Update: It took me a while to figure it out. For whatever reason, I had a hard time in Windows 11 finding the sample rate so I could change it. It was set at 48 and I changed it to 44.1. When I played the song back, it was still out of sync. I had changed the driver to ASIO yesterday, but it changed back to something else. So I worked on everything in Windows 11 and Cakewalk to get all the sample rates and drivers and everything else to what they're supposed to be. Finally, it works as it's supposed to. (I hope nothing changes back.) I'm always grateful for the help everyone on this forum provides. Thank you!

For whatever reason, I can't get to it. I'm going to keep trying later today, because that just doesn't seem right.

I finally switched it to ASIO, but the instruments are not in sync. When I press Play, the cursor moves past where the music is supposed to begin before I hear anything. Then none of the instruments are aligned.

For whatever reason, Windows 11 does not allow me to change it on my computer. But CbB works perfectly, so I don't know why Sonar wouldn't.

It keeps changing the sample rate to 48, even after I set it to 44. I included a couple of screen shots so you can see how Sonar automatically set it up. As for audio drivers, I can't access them. I don't know if it's set to ASIO or what. After tinkering for a while, I finally got sound out of it. However, nothing is in sync. The sound is late overall, and the instruments do not align. I'm thinking of uninstalling it then reinstalling it. I can't change the buffer size, and the bit depth is now set to 24. Thoughts?

No. The only DAW I have open is Sonar. I don't even have CbB open. When I open Sonar I get that message every time.

I downloaded and installed the new Sonar free tier. But when I opened it a few minutes ago, I got the message below. I'm not very knowledgeable with computers. Anyway, everything works fine with CbB, but not with Sonar. It will not recognize my interface. I went to Preferences and checked, and Apollo Twin is there for the output. So I do not know why I'm getting this message and why there is no sound during playback.

I went into Preferences and clicked on Disable input monitoring. Problem seems to be solved. I tried recording vocals and they sounded normal, not bright at all. Thanks, everyone, for all your suggestions!

Gswitz: Thank you! Not quite sure what you mean though about using a figure 8 mic sideways with no headphones.

Hmm...A lot to check out. I even got a new usb cable because I used the same cable for each interface. Breaking it down one by one. As far as direct monitoring is concerned, wouldn't that be an interface issue? Ive gone through two and I have the same problem. Thanks.

Yes, phantom power is on.

Sock Monkey: i don't use the 4k on my SSL 2. I've used several mics. Wil: I've used about 4 different headphones. DeeringAmps: Thank you. I'm just going to have to do as you say and going through everything piece by piece. Thanks to everyone for your comments!

No, it's not my hearing. The music sounds the same through my headphones. It's just the vocals when I'm recording. I built a little vocal booth with packing blankets. So that's fine. The vocals, during playback through the monitors, sound harsh at points, and even too dark at other times. This is something I never had a problem with before.

The Pro Channel is not on my vocals channel, especially when I record. It's dry with nothing on it. The level is way below where I usually record. So I've checked that. Thanks.

I've been recording the way I have for years. Nothing has changed in the way I record. This just happened all of a sudden.

I'm using condenser mics. As far as my interface adding fx, there are no fx on the track when I'm recording vocals. If i listen to the song through headphones while not recording, it's not harsh. The vocals are only bright and harsh in my headphones when recording. I've tried another headphones preamp and going direct into the interface. It doesn't make any difference.

I've been having an issue and I cannot for the life of me figure out the problem. When I record vocals, the sound in my headphones is really bright and harsh. But the vocals themselves are more dark. I can't sing directly into the mic because it sounds like it's distorting. I record at a really low level because of this, but it doesn't help. I've gone through 2 interfaces (Apollo Twin X, SSL 2), several mics (Stam, Dachman. Warm Audio), a Warm Audio preamp as well as through the interfaces themselves, different headphones, and nothing helps the problem. When I would record a while back, everything in the headphones sounded good. But now all of a sudden it's extremely bright and harsh - so much so that it's hard to record. I can't figure out what the issue is. Could it be the last CbB update? Could it be something within my computer? No clue. Any guesses?

So for CbB to continue to work, this new update is necessary. Thanks!

Just curious as to how to roll back updates. I installed the latest update, but I've read where several people have issues with it. So if I decide to get rid of the latest update, how do I do it?

So far so good. Like I said, not sure what caused it so I don't know if it will happen again. But "hopefully" it will continue to be ok.

Well, I turned on my computer and fired up CbB, opened the project, and no pop. It did it ever single time and now, for reason, it stopped. I appreciate everyone's comments. It not popping anymore is a little annoying in a way because I don't know what caused it or why it stopped. So it may decide to start again (but I genuinely hope not). Anyway, thanks again for everyone's input. If it decides to start up again I'll be back.
