I have also disabled IEST (Intel enhanced speedstep) and c-states. I have also turned off core parking. It should be noted that my system still does it with the PCI card. It does not do it as soon as I switch to the 2i2 (USB)

The last time this happened to me, it was when I was using a PCI audio card. As soon as I went to a Focusrite 2i2, the problem went away. Also, it was not just a Cakewalk problem either - it happened in other audio programs as well. Not the case in your situation as you are already using a USB audio interface. Have you disabled all other sound cards.interfaces other than the Focusrite Clarett 8Pre USB (That also includes your onboard sound - disable that as well) You might still want to investigate disabling power saving option on your AMD display card - or even consider replacing it (Borrow one if you can) That being said, I have a Focusrite 2i2 2nd gen and a Nvidia GTX960 with the latest drivers, power saving disabled, and I definitely do not get crackling when I move the mouse during playback. It might be as simple as trying a different USB port (I'm assuming your going direct to the PC and not through any hub of any kind.

What happens if you go start + Run > control powercfg.cpl,,1 . On my PC it takes me directly to my power options. I tried it on another PC, works on there too. Maybe press Win key + r then "control powercfg.cpl,,1" Without the quotes If this does not work on yours, then you have other issues. I am pretty sure the RX 5700 has power options. I use an Nvidia card so I am not really sure how AMD does it without googling it. I am still thinking this is video card/driver related. I am assuming you have gone to the manufacturer's website and manually downloaded the latest drivers.

Are you using a wired mouse? Is there are way to temporarily turn off power saving on the RX 5700 to see if this is the issue? Are you using high performance mode on Windows 10? Could you temporarily remove the RX 5700 and use the motherboard's onboard video to see if the problem goes away? Have you turned off performance graphic oprions? Start + Run > systempropertiesperformance > Adjust for best performance Have you set CPU min and Max to 100% Start + Run > control powercfg.cpl,,1 .It's under under processor power management.

What video card are you using (make and model number)? Is it on-board or a separate card?

Yes, VST2 plugins can be used. As long as the VST2 plugins are in a folder the Cakewalk by Bandlab is configured to scan, but not the VST3 folder, then yes, the CbB scanner will pick them up.

Compressor with a side chain input - PC4K-S is an example of a Cakewalk by Bandlab supplied pro channel compressor that supports side chaining.

Not all of us have real guitars - so we have to utilise what we do have. I just nudge the notes manually - and turn off snap.... I don't use the Strum.it.CAL script as it produces the same result every time. If I was going to use a CAL script, I would use one that randomly adjusts the times of the notes slightly. If you do end up writing a CAL to do this, do not use the Editslide command (or Editslide40 command) - this will categorically crash CbB. Adjust the time parameter of the note event instead.

Can you give us more information as to how exactly you go about this. Has it ever worked? I do this al the time using an external SW1000XG card while being recorded into an audio track on Cakewalk by bandlab The MIDI files I convert are specifically written with the SW1000XG card in mind. The SW1000XG card is basically a Yamaha MU-100 series on a card. This proceedure works perfectly every time for me.

Depends on the plugin. Most plugins involve more than simply copying over the DLL (or VST3 file) from the VST folder on the old computer. There are usually files present in other locations that are needed as well for the plugin the work properly. There may even be registry entries needed. You're better of finding exactly which plugin the project calls for and installing it from its actual installer. Which plugin is missing and which version of Cakewalk did you use? Did that plugin actually come with your previous version of Cakewalk? You will really need to know the answers to these before proceeding.

MY guess is that the projects in the bundles use plugins that were only present in your previous version of Cakewalk. What you might want to do is see if you can work out the exact plugin generating the error message and then install the version of Cakewalk that contained that plugin. Or just reinstall your previous version of Cakewalk so that it's plugins can be reinstalled Once you have done this, uninstall and reinstall Cakewalk by Bandlab.

If you're using soft synths.. and if you need higher resolution that what MIDI 1.0 provides, you would use automation instead of controller events anyway. It will still be a while before CbB and third party VSTi plugins use MIDI 2.0 (which both will have to to make MIDI 2.0 worth while)

Unfortunately not

This is what crosses my mind whenever a vendor has any product on sale for way below the regular full asking price...

You might want to figure this issue out before troubleshooting the sound issue. Not being able to install Windows updates indicates more pressing issues. You may even have to do a repair install (or even a clean reinstall) of Windows.

We are going to need a lot more information What version (Numerically) of “Cakewalk” are you using? Which version of Windows? Are all its updates installed Which audio interface (device) are you using? What driver mode? (ASIO or WASAPI) - if you can ASIO is preferable Have you installed the latest drivers for your audio interface What are you trying to play Is the fader turn up on the track/bus/output on the Cakewalk console Have you accidentally muted the playback track Is the playback track routed to a bus that is muted.

You need to run the other installers that contain the other plugins. For instance, the Engineering Suite contains the following plugins Boost 11, Channel Tools,L-Phase Equaliser, L-Phase Multiband, Adaptive Limiter The Boutique Suite contains the following plugins Analog TrackBox, PX-64 Percussion Strip, TL-64 Tube Leveller, TS-64 Transient Shaper, VX-64 Vocal Strip, Tone2 Bifilter2 To see what other installers contain, see: https://www.cakewalk.com/Products/SONAR/Versions To download these installers, log on to your Cakewalk Account from here or install them from Cakewalk Command Centre https://www.cakewalk.com/My-Account/Product/CSPT100

I am pretty sure that's all I de selected.....

Have you tried uninstalling Bandlab Assistant. Downloading the latest from here and then reinstalling. Since 2018 (When Cakewalk by Bandlab was released) this has always worked for me.

If you're using a workspace, for that workspace, deselect “Windows Layouts” under “Load from workspace”. If you don't do this, and you're using a workspace, then the Window layout from the workspace will prevail - even if you're using a Screenset.

Transform tool for Automation nodes (like there is for Controller lanes) Keybindings possible to PRV Transform tool functions. Automation nodes to follow horizontal scaling of MIDI and Audio clips (When pressing SHIFT + CTRL) Automation clips Ability to rename controller lanes from within PRV - especially when in Single Lane Controller view.

You mention Kontakt 5, so I am assuming that is what you're attempting to use in Cakewalk. Have you tried another soft synth. (Insert as a simple instrument) What else have you tried so far? (other than what you've already mentioned) Have you tried power cycling your PC?

Latest BA (which is 5.1.2) ? Logged out and logged in? Performed "Refresh Activation"?

For the track you wish to record to or play, Is input echo on?
