Hi guys. For some reason when I click on a dot on the tempo map automation line, it's one column out of sync with the tempo values view on the left of screen. IOWs, when I click on a tempo dot and look to the left column, it's highlighted one column below where it should be. So in order to type in a new tempo value in the column, I have to always click one column above where the highlight is showing. When I first downloaded Cakewalk it worked correctly but after a few months this problem started. Is this a bug, or is there some setting I have set wrong? Thanks!

Hey Terry & Gregy, I just wanted to tell yall I got it. The kick drum is now routed to a diff track. Man it's amazing how I had built it in my head to be a difficult procedure and it turned out to be a snap. A cakewalk even ?. Sincere Thanks Guys!

Wow, it routes to an audio track. That actually makes sense to me. I'm still pretty green to the routing stuff but I'll give it a try tomorrow. Thanks so much guys!

Hi guys. I'm using the Slate Drum vst. Can yall please refer me to a video that teaches how to assign the diff kit pieces to diff tracks? I really just need to send the kick drum to a separate track as the rest of the kit. Im also wondering, once the kick is routed to a diff track, will I still see the kick drum midi notes on the same track as the rest of the kit in piano roll view? IOWs, will I have to keep switching between the two tracks to move notes around between the kick and the rest of the drum kit or will the whole kit still show on one track? Thanks a lot!

That makes sense Promidi. After all, the performance tab showed I had plenty of CPU & memory to spare with Modo Drum yet I still got pops & clicks on ASIO (regardless of buffer setting). But with WASAPI it worked perfect. Well I don't have access to another interface but I'll def start looking online for a good deal. I know the Focusrites also have a lower noise floor than my Audiobox. However, this means I have to start sucking up to the ol lady again ?. Unfortunately, she pops & clicks too.

Thanks John. Btw, I did find this info in a Modo Drum ad saying it requires high CPU. It really does feel like it bogs down my little computer. I'm thinking for now, I'll just stick with these Slate drums. At least they give me no problems(at all) and they don't sound half bad. Hopefully I can upgrade my system sooner than later and give MODO Drum another go. Thanks again John & all you guys for the kind help. I've learned a lot. Cheers!

Thanks Tim, I got it. It was already set according to the directions.

Thanks HIBI but when I launch Cakewalk, I don't see anything that says "Options". Can someone please explain how I get to that?

Yeah John, In Registry Edit> ASIO>Audiobox ASIO Driver is listed. But again, that's good to know.

Wow, thanks for the extra effort John. Alright, I just ran that latency mon and it says, "Concl: Your system appears to be suitable for handling... without dropouts". So that's great to know. Btw John, Have u given any thought as to why Modo Drum worked perfect for me on WASAPI but is having problems with ASIO? Keep in mind, I'm still pretty green with Cakewalk(despite watching all ur videos ?). So for all I know, it's a setting on Cakewalk or the computer that I'm overlooking/ unaware of. Like a format setting or something...(?)

Cheers John! Yeah, aside from MODO Drum, ASIO works great for my VSTs and audio. I'm really starting think Promidi is right that my computer just isn't quite up to snuff.

Thanks. I know ur right that I could use an upgrade and Im glad to know about the graphics card thing. (Still weird that it worked fine on WASAPI though). Yeah, the buffer size is usually on 46.4 msec, 2048 Samples. For tracking though, I speed it up to 11.6 msec 512 samples so there's not much latency.

Thanks Andres. Just to make sure we're on the same page, it popped worse the further to the right/safe I set it. But it basically acted up regardless of where I set the buffer size. Man, I don't understand why Modo Drum worked perfectly when I had the driver set to WASAPI. I only switched it to ASIO because WASAPI wouldn't let me record audio. Just midi.

Interface is an Audiobox 96. "Graphics adapter" is a bit over my head but it says under Device Manager> Display Adapters> Intel(R) HD Graphics. It says it's the "best driver" and is up to date. (Is that open GL2 compatible?) Fwiw, I think u may have something with the graphics issue cause MODO Drum is much higher detailed visually compared to the SS5 drums. Btw it was odd, with the MODO drums, the clicking and popping got worse the slower I set the buffer size. Like it had the opposite effect. Don't know if that helps shed some light.

Hi Promidi. Sample rate is set to 44100 Bit depth is locked(grayed out) on 24 Buffer size is full safe(46 Msec) Computer is Intel Core i5-2400 CPU 3.1 Ghz RAM 16 GB Running Windows 10 Pro It only has one drive(Solid State)

Hi guys. I was using the free Modo Drum vst(which I love) but it started giving me bad clicks and pops. The prob started when I switched from WASAPI to ASIO. Note, the performance tab showed plenty of memory available. I'm now having to use the Slate SS5 free drums which gives no problems at all. Could the prob be that Modo Drum file size is much larger or could it be I need to download it again with the right driver? I'd love to use Modo Drum again so any advice is much appreciated. Thanks!

Oh, my bad. You prob said Windows update in the video and I misunderstood. And great to know the midi info is there to stay. Thanks for the help and all ur videos John. (When I win my Grammy award, I'll give u a shout out ?)

Got it John! In preferences > midi> devices>inputs, i had my interface unchecked(don't know how I did that). Thanks a lot man! Btw, I really liked the redone videos but u scared me when u said the TTS-1 may become incompatible with a future update. If that ever happens, I assume I wouldn't lose the midi track info correct? IOWs, can I just assign those same midi tracks to a diff soft synth/vst instrument?

Thanks a lot John. I've watched many of ur videos before but I've probably forgotten a great deal. I'll def go watch em again. Cheers!

Hi guys. Ive been laying audio tracks for the last couple months but I just went back to punch record on a soft synth piano track and I have no signal showing. I also tried it in a new project then with diff driver settings to no avail. I'm still fairly green to routing stuff. Can yall please give some troubleshooting tips on how to fix this. Thanks!

Awesome, I got it now guys. I thought they meant to hold left click on the marker and a "delete" option would appear. I didn't know they meant to use the delete key. Y'all saved me. Thanks so much for the help!

I followed Cakewalks directions on how to delete markers but it doesn't work. How exactly do I delete markers? (Thanks in advance!)

Cool, thanks. I'll def try that.

Thanks Scook. Id love to go back to wasapi but it stopped recording audio. It's just letting me record midi. So yeah, asio seems to be my only option.

Thanks for all the responses guys. Btw, I do have a high pass on bass, drums and most instruments so I dont think it's a low freq thing. Also, my soft synths are the same level as my audio tracks so I don't think it's an input recording level issue.
