I had a noise problem that sounded just like you describe it. Except it was almost all of the time, not just when MIDI data was coming from an external controller. I narrowed it down when I realized that the bad sound was not in the headphone mix coming from my audio interface. Replaced my studio monitor cables with TRS balanced 1/4" cables and problem solved! The sound varied with activity on the PC, so I assumed it was electrical interference from either the disk drives being accessed, or my PWM case fans revving up with increased activity.

Here is a good reason to beware of site redirects that were maliciously modified by a hacker. This is exactly how an attacker could lure victims to his exploit kit. Here is just ONE recent example of a vulnerability in MS Edge that was patched for Windows 10 in August 2020. > https://portal.msrc.microsoft.com/en-US/security-guidance/advisory/CVE-2020-1555 Be careful out there!

This thread over at KVR has a response from Uncle E that says he should have a new site up next month. JRR shop is still down? https://www.kvraudio.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=549392&start=150 Uncle E's post about the new site at the bottom of page 11. However on page 1 it seems he was saying that back in July...

The proper forum for posting Cakewalk feedback is here: https://discuss.cakewalk.com/index.php?/forum/8-feedback-loop/ Your suggestion has a better chance of being seen by a Cakewalk employee over there. Glad that you are up and running now!

Did you log into your old Cakewalk account and look at "My Account"? You should have a copy of Dimension Pro there that you can download.

Be careful now since the site is now being redirected. If it is the work of a hacker, there could be code on the new site designed to deliver a malicious payload script to compromise your PC. If you have visited the redirect site recently it might be prudent to scan your PC for malware. Just saying... I've always liked JRRShop, but I'm staying far away until a credible "all clear" is given. ???

Yikes!!!

Chambers is very cool! Check it out...

Now you're talking!!! ?

$29 or shut up! Sorry if that sounds jaded, but I already have Waves Abbey Road Plates, Waves H-Reverb, and the Waves IR1 Convolution reverb. And I didn't spend $199 (or even $99) for a single one of them. Not to mention a few other excellent ones from Eventide, NI, Arturia, and IKM. So just what I need is another reverb... ?

Make sure Windows and Cakewalk are set to the same sample rate.

Based on your latest pics you should be hearing something at the RealTek audio output. Can you hear audio on your speakers when you shut down Cakewalk and play a YouTube in your browser or some other media player on your PC ?

I agree, that's why I jumped back to Adobe Photoshop Elements 2020. I already know how to use PS Elements. It's like switching DAWs, it takes some time to acquire muscle memory and "intuition". Time I would rather spend on something else.

If you like the Korg system, the (virtual) Triton is probably the way to go in 2020. Or if totally retro is your desire, then probably the M1. I owned the Korg X2 workstation (released 1993) back in the 90's. AI2 synthesis. Many of the sounds in the X2 are derived from the T3 and 01/W synthesizers. The larger sound ROM includes a 2MB multisampled piano.

I had some issues when trying to export MIDI from Waveform to Cakewalk. MIDI type 1 export seemed messed up in Waveform at the time. Haven't tried it lately, maybe it has improved. Was trying to take advantage of the pattern generators, and then bring MIDI patterns over to Cakewalk. Ended up having to use Reaper as an import/export middleman to get the Waveform MIDI track where Cakewalk could use it correctly by splitting out the individual tracks. I like how Reaper asks on import how you want to handle the tracks. Reaper is like a swiss army knife.

I've had some version of it on my PC since CorelDraw 3. Probably even before I got started with Cakewalk Professional 6. Windows 95, and Pentium 1, those were the days, LOL!!!

Yes, I bit on that level after I saw the new enhancements to Painter 2020. It would have cost me $229 to upgrade to from 2019 to 2021 at Corel. So Painter 2020 for $30 will work just fine for me! Thanks Humble!

A discrete GPU is not required to run Cakewalk well. In fact it can even interfere if the drivers are problematic. I only use the humble integrated Intel HD graphics that my CPU provides. Smooth as butter.

Same wish here! I think I got in on the last round of upgrade pricing offered for a perpetual CorelDraw Suite 2019 license. Now your only options are to either buy the latest version outright for full price of $424 (currently discounted from $499), or rent it. https://www.coreldraw.com/en/product/coreldraw/

Yep, at least spend a buck ($1) and unlock Aftershot 3 if you are a digital photographer! It is an Adobe Lightroom clone where you can import and make quick or detailed adjustments to your latest camera roll, aka a digital darkroom. Tutorial videos: https://learn.corel.com/photo-tutorials/raw-photo-editing/aftershot-pro-tutorials/ The next level at $26.56 will get you PaintShop Pro 2020. If you need a photo editor, this is a good alternative for avoiding a subscription to an Adobe Photoshop cloud subscription. Tutorial videos: https://learn.corel.com/photo-tutorials/paintshop-pro-tutorials/paintshop-pro-2019-tutorials/ The top $30 level will get you Corel CAD 2019, Corel Painter 2020, and a subscription to CorelDraw Graphics Suite 2020. I'm not crazy about subscription models so I was surprised to see this. My first reaction was wow, a cheap upgrade for CorelDraw! I have a perpetual license for CorelDraw Graphics Suite 2019 and so I'll stick with that. It's a good substitute for Adobe Illustrator for making vector graphics drawings, and doing page layouts with text and images for output to web, PDF, or print. The suite comes with an integrated bitmap photo editor called Corel PhotoPaint. Tutorial videos: https://www.coreldraw.com/en/learn/tutorials/?topNav=en I got Corel Painter 2019 with an earlier Humble Bundle, and that might appeal to the creative types who want to try digital painting. It's good tool for "painterizing" your digital photos, or creating a digital painting from scratch. A digital art tablet with stylus like the Wacom models is highly recommended for this activity, although you can use a mouse. The digital brushes in Painter and their effects are amazing!

If it's a power issue, I would swap in a new power supply. I assume that you have a way of monitoring CPU and GPU temps, as well as fan RPMs and have ruled out overheating?

In addition to providing system specs and audio hardware in use, I would also list any and all of the plugins used in the project, because sometimes they can cause this behavior. And preferably start a new thread, because it may seem like you may have the same problem, but there can be many different causes of "slow" in a DAW, and it is difficult to troubleshoot all of them in a single thread. Jumping in with a "me too" post on the tail end of an existing thread is not the best way to get help.

While still recording, you don't want to use linear phase plug-ins with a look ahead buffer enabled anywhere in your project. Linear phase is designed for the mixing/mastering phase of a project. Linear phase deliberately induces latency. That is the way it works, because it needs to buffer in order to look ahead. In Cakewalk LPEQ for example, you can disable the LP mode and use it as a regular EQ, but in other similar plug-ins you probably should disable or remove them until ready to mix.

Zero Downtime. You pay to play...
