I have never seen Cakewalk doing this or even showing this message. Can you please post a clear screenshot where the message “Hardware Reserved” is displayed? “Hardware Reserved” sounds more like it's a function of your actual PC rather than Cakewalk itself. I also have 16 gig ram and on first load, Cakewalk only uses a couple of hundred K (As shown in Task Manager). Of course, memory usage increases , the more plugins and I load into a project. Are you sure this isn't you onboard graphics using a chuck of your RAM for it's graphic? This would be set in the PC's BIOS. You might also want to post a bit about your system and invronment in addition to the 16 gig. What version of Cakewalk? What version of Windows. Is your WIndows fully patched? Are you on a laptop or Desktop.

First of all, what driver mode are you using in Cakewalk? This is in preferences | Audio | Play back and recording. ASIO is preferred if using a dedicated Audio interface If you are using your onboard sound for you Audio in Cakewalk, then the driver mode will probably be set to "WASAPI Exclusive" or "WASAPI Shared". I suspect "shared" might be what you're after (I use ASIO so I do not use WASAPI mode) The setting you should be heading to is in the same area (preferences | Audio | Play back and recording) and then deselect "Suspend Audio Engine When Cakewalk Is Not in Focus"

Maybe request this here: https://discuss.cakewalk.com/index.php?/forum/8-feedback-loop/

You might want to post this in the "Features and Ideas" forum and describe exactly how you would like the staff view to be updated. https://discuss.cakewalk.com/index.php?/forum/8-feedback-loop/

It does not mean it will not run on Windows 7 (which it does, and does well). It just means that if you do run into issue and you're still running Windows 7, then you will not get much support. They will probably just tell you to upgrade to a currently supported operating system. I suspect you won't like that, but consider this. What do you think Microsoft is going tell the Cakewalk developers if they themselves need assistance from Microsoft and they tell Microsoft that the issue only affects Windows 7. Microsoft will tell the Cakewalk developers that Windows 7 is no longer supported and to focus their development on applications for supported operating systems.

There is no "best" value. Try different buffer sizes and see which value works best for you and your workflow. For my particular workflow, mine is set to 256 samples.

What version of Cakewalk are you using? Have you disabled the high definition audio on the Nvidia card? If you're not using Is your PC fully patched. Are all of your hardware drivers updated (audio and video)? Note: The latest driver for the Nvidia card is 446.14 If you're not using your onboard audio for anyhting, consider disabling that as well If you are using onboard sound as well, make sure the sample rate is set that same as your Audio interface as used in Cakewalk Have you turned off core parking and set power settings to maximum performance (for AC operation)?

It's normal behaviour - even for MIDI only projects

What driver mode are you using in Cakewalk?

Which version (Numerically) of Cakewalk are you using? In 20 years, I have never had this issue - and I use "save copy as" all the time. Can you give a bit more information? Are you using VSTi plugins or hardware synths. If using VSTi plugins, are you using any effects on the tracks

Personally, and this is just my opinion, I would not join the insider's program and place a non officially released version of Windows 10 on any production PC. This amounts to installing a BETA version of Windows 10, something I would not want on any production PC. Now, you are going to have users on her who have joined the insider's program who swear black and blue that they have no issues. However, I just would not risk it on a production PC that will be used to meet deadlines. If you do have a separate PC that you can tolerate possible issues that may come up, then by all mean, join the insider's program

Dimension pro can also be a four part Multi-timbral synth. An extract from the help file To Use Dimension as a Multi-timbral Instrument Load the program that you want to use as a multi-timbral program. Click the Options button . The Options dialog appears. Check the Set Program As Multi-timbral option, and click OK. Save the program, if you want to change it to a multi-timbral program. When a program is in Multi-timbral mode, the four Elements respond to MIDI channels 1-4, respectively.

You can also open the "Big Time" Window. Main menu Views > Big Time. Or press (ALT + SHIFT + 3). You can right click on the time itself to adjust the formatting of the time display. Single left click on the time itself toggles between displaying MBT time and SMPTE

^^ This ^^

Are you wanting to enter M:B:F format (in which case , press G) or actual time in Minutes and (Milli)seconds ?

Are you sure about that? Do you have a credible source? I know that Home edition does not allow joining to a domain. However, I am pretty sure you can still share and access network resources.

Help us to help you. What have you tried so far? (I ask this so we don't suggest things you've already tried)

Specifically which Windows update are you referring to? The developers are going to want to know exact Microsoft Knowledge-base numbers. They may also want to know your exact Windows build number. Mind you, you stated that this affects "many applications", so you appear to have a system wide issue. My guess is that the Windows update may have borked your driver for your audio interface. What you might want to try is head to the your audio interface's manufacturer's website and download the latest drivers. Do this even if you believe you have the latest version. Personally, I have instructed Windows update never to touch any drivers.

Maybe put in a feature request. https://discuss.cakewalk.com/index.php?/forum/8-feedback-loop/

Are you connecting the Keytar via it's wireless USB box? Which version of Windows are you using) Does the USB box come with drivers for your version of Windows? You could set up a single MIDI track - with its input being the Keytar and it's output being the Triton (I am assuming the Triton is set to the appropriate MIDI Channel) Alternatively , you could set up what is called a track as a "simple instrument". A component of this is a MIDI track. This is what you would set as the 4x4 in. Setting this to Omni would mean that it would not matter what channel the Vortex was on - and "omni" means that it responds to all channels. This would be the quickest way to make sure that the Keytar is generating MIDI. Of course, make sure "Input Echo" is on. Remember, if you want to plug the Keytar dirrectly into the Triton and the Triton is on Channel 8, then you would want the Keytar set to Channel 8. Personally, I would find a way to plug the Keytar's MIDI cable directly into Cakewalk (Via the 4*4 MIDI Sport) to allow Cakewalk to do the recording. The MIDI track I mentioned above has another setting whick determines that MIDI channel that that track transmits on. It's just under the "FX" and by default , this is set to "none". I would set this to Channel 8 to match the Triton. Does the Keytar come with any USB drivers for your version of WIndows? Are you saying you do not have a standard MIDI cable with 5 pin din connectors at each end?

One way I can think of is hold shift while opening a project. Then you can selectively remove the effects in those projects. However, you say that "every track of every project has a delay added to it". Unless you inadvertently put a delay into each project, I appears something else is going on. Or you started each project from the same effects loaded - including delay.

This really looks like a communication issue between the Keytar and the Triton. What MIDI Channel is ALesis Vortex Keytar transmitting on? For this to work as described above, The Keytar would have to be transmitting on Channel 8 (Unless the Triton is set to Omni - but you stated "The Triton is set to channel 8"). I don't know enough about the Triton to advise what to do to get it to receive MIDI in data. Personally, I would just plug the Keytar directly into the PC via the MIDI Sport 4x4 - then you can record directly from the Keytar into Cakewalk (of course, into a MIDI track with input Echo on). Note: If the PC's USB is only providing power for the Keytar, not data, then it should not interfere.

I have told Windows updates never to touch drivers during any update procedure....

You should be able to use a USB to MIDI adaptor to connect your 5-pijn din MIDI keyboard to your PC via USB I use a USB to MIDI adapter in the other direction - I.E. I use Cakewalk by Bandlab to send MIDI data to an external 5-pin DIN MIDI device. This has worked flawlessly for a many years now. The one I use is a Roland UM-ONE mk2 USB MIDI Interface. I have a PCR-800 controller and I am certain that, as a test at some stage, I have used the PCR-800's MIDI out ports rather than its USB and this worked fine in this configuration. Of course, nowadays I just use the PCR-800's USB port.

I've never had an issue downloading. What kind of internet do you have. What are your https://speedtest.net results? Are you connected to your router via Ethernet cable or WIFI?
