Do you have auto-save on? When you save are you doing a normal save or a "save as"? It could just be a corrupt project. You could do a save as to a different folder, checking the box to copy project audio, and open that one and see if it behaves the same.

Without knowing any more specifics you could try a few things to see if it helps. This is probably not a Cakewalk specific thing but a computer specific thing. - Reboot and restart Cakewalk - Try changing Audio Driver types, Are you using ASIO, WASAPI or other driver type? - Check in Task Manager and see if other programs are running and taking up CPU or Disk Cycles.

Did you bounce to a stereo track or mono track? bouncing a stereo source to mono can increase the gain.

Your going to need to give more system information for people to help. What audio interface are you using? What driver mode? What Version of Windows etc. Many times if you are just using the on board audio of your computer then using WASAPI exclusive or shared driver mode is the best bet.

Is this with track lanes underneath it? I get this as well if I have take lanes.

Cakewalk has a setting to stop playing if no more data exists beyond a certain time point. Make sure you have the following setting correct and make sure there is no other data beyond the point you want the song to end, including automation nodes, midi envelopes etc...

If you have auto cross fades on simply drag the edge of one clip over the other and a cross fade will be generated. Else, as mentioned above, in the upper corner of the clip grab the fade triangle and drag it where you want.

Do you still have cakewalk open when you are trying to play them? Do they seem to play but not make any sound? It could be that you are trying to play them while Cakewalk still has the driver and won't share it. What driver model are you using?

Using Melodyne as a region effect is the preferred way to use it. If you transfer it into melodyne you may need to bounce the track to a new track so there is just audio on it. Then you can add your other effects. Another option is to route the output of your track to a bus and then add the reverb to the bus. Please take a look through the manual for this feature.

Yes, Studio One has its strengths but it also has its weaknesses. As it gets older it is not as stable or bug free as it used to be either.

I use a TCL 43' HD Tv. Works great for what I do. At work I have a 54' Curved TV. It is a bit too big.

I would suggest you read the user's guide sections on Groove Clips and the Transient panel. Also, there is no need to record the metronome. It will play in time no mater what you set the temp to. The only reason to export the metronome is to visually see it's waveform or to export it, along with the other audio so another user could import the audio and synch it up easier. Also, audio stretching will cause audio artifacts to appear.

If you record the the metronome then it becomes an audio file. Audio does not by default follow the project temp. You have to make it a Groove clip or enable streaching through the transient dialog on the audio clip. Is there a reason you recorded the metronome and don't use the use that cakewalk provides?

What OS are you on?

This is a muted section of audio.

msmcleod beat me to it.? I haven't used the Arranger track yet but according to the documentation: Maybe you have ripple edit on/off and could try the other mode?

Do you use a template to start your new projects? It could be a corrupt template so when you create a new project it is already messed up?

This is a loaded question. There are some places where you might find some isolated drum tracks. This is useful for learning purposes to train your ear to hear what you need to in the mix. The danger is that you don't mix things in isolation and then expect them to sound good together. I think it is ok to listen to some tracks in isolation to get a feel for what a recorded or mixed track might sound like but then try to really understand how that affects the mix and other instruments. Also, be aware that isolated tracks might or might not include final reverb, eq, compression etc. With that being said I have at times used the Guitar Hero multi-tracks from the following to get an idea of what an isolated, mixed track might sound like. The downside is that they are not super high quality and you have to use a program like Audacity to open them up. http://multitrackdownloads.blogspot.com/2012/03/guitar-hero-multitracks.html Also, a google search of Isolated Tracks or Multi-tracks would probably give you some resources.

A couple of existing threads in the forums:

In order to see multiple tracks in melodyne at the same time you have to have the studio version of melodyne. If you have that version then you click on the little blobs in the top left corner. In your picture they would be LDL (2) , LDR (3) etc.

You could try to open the project in "Safe Mode"

The 'W' button does not get rid of anything. It enables or disables recording automation on the track. Stuff like volume or pan automation. There is something else going on. Please look through the documentation and then post a short video or screen capture(s) of your issues.

Midi tracks will follow project temp so you can just slow or speed up the temp and it will follow. To get audio tracks to this you have convert them to groove clips, via the inspector, or use the audio transient toolbar to have them follow the project tempo. The quality of the affected audio varies depending on the material and how much you change the temp.

Just brainstorming here, are the tracks all going to a bus? Is the bus getting muted? Can you hear the armed track (echo) what you are recording? Are these midi or Audio tracks?
