Yes, you should be able to do remote desktop from a Surface to a PC. Although, it might be a bit overkill for just starting and stopping the project. Some people just use their wireless keyboards for this. There are also apps like "TouchDaw" that you can run on your phone or tablet to remotely control playback and recording.

So is the project in a bundle file or just a normal project on your hard drive? If it is on your hard drive then the audio files should be still there. I always use per project audio files so all the files are in a folder by where the project file is. If your project is in a bun file an it is corrupted then I don't know how to fix that.

You can select a range and with your cursor towards the top of the clip left-click and drag up and down and it creates a 4 node square to raise and lower that section.

That sounds like a Fishman issue to me. Sounds like they don't allow 2 instances of "TriplePlay" to be opened. Isn't Triple Play a midi controller for guitar? If it is then it seems like you would just set it up like a midi input device and then set the tracks input to receive from the Triple Play. Is that what you are doing? Maybe someone else who actually has the Triple Play can respond

From what I read the unit is "buffers". I don't know which ones how how big they are but it is telling cakewalk to to reserve more data buffers for plug-in processing because certain plugins take the available ones and hold on to them. This seems to only be needed if you are experiencing drop-outs. I don't think it would do anything to help with latency As for your other two questions 1. The description seems pretty clear. Turn it on if you want to bypass the cache of your hard drive. I would only do this if you have some specific reason to do that. 2. Only one of the developer's can answer that. However, I don't think you have to know how it works to use it. Try it and if it works better for you then keep it. The current recommendations seem to be keep it at 2

You need to do some investigation to see why this is happening. Try changing the Driver Model to something other then ASIO (MME, or WASAPI). Run latencymon on your computer to see if anything is interrupting the system and see if there are issues that will prevent realtime streaming of audio. The built in audio devices, (Realtek) are always going to have some quirks with them since they are not designed for low-latency DAW type work.

Could be this?

It looks like you comped in a take that was muted. You can un-mute using the mute tool.

I don't know if there is any "quick" help but getting low latency while recording requires you to set the buffer size on the Scarlett lower. Use the windows control panel to do this. Cakewalk often can't directly change the buffer setting so you have to use the windows or vendor supplied way of changing the buffer settings. Now, the no sound issue is another one. Start a new project and make sure that the audio interface and cakewalk are set to the same sample rate and depth. Then record something or drag in an audio file. Make sure your tracks are routed to the main bus and the main bus routed to your Audio Interface outputs, assuming your audio interface is setup correctly in Cakewalk's settings.

I agree that the work arounds are not that great. I can slip edit (Move the audio within the frame of the clip) in the take lanes fine. However, Moving clips or changing the size of the fades in the take lanes does not work well for me.

Try to post some screen shots of your routing and setup and tell us a bit more about how you inserted the VSTs. I am not familiar with Grace. Is it an instrument or an effect?

I don't have SSD5 but from the pictures it looks like you should be able to click on the "out 1 st" below the mixer channels and route them to other outputs. At least that is how you do it in Superior drummer. Then in Cakewalk you make audio tracks and assign them to have their inputs receive from the specified SSD5 outputs. A quick google search showed that Steven Slate has some videos on how to do multiple outputs in other DAW. They should give you a good start on how to do it in Cakewalk. https://stevenslatedrums.com/videos/

A couple of things to look at or try. Are any of the clips locked (time or data)? Do you have ripple edit enabled? Have you tried closing the project and cakewalk and then re-opening to see if it does the same thing?

I don't know how to fix the issue with your screenshot above. That seems to indicate some issue with a driver or permissions. I would try re-installing any drivers that came with your midi device and maybe even re-installing Cakewalk. When you "play" your midi keyboard and want to hear a VSTi playing you do need to make sure that the track has the "input echo" button enabled or the setting that the input echo follows the selected track to be able to hear anything. If you record some midi to the track does the synth play it back? Or, if you drag a midi clip on the track can you hear it?

This seems to be the current state of the take lanes. If you manipulate anything in the master track then it can mess up the takes and the cross-fades. Personally, I don't like that it does this but that is the way it works. In another thread it was said to slip-edit (move the audio in the take lane) rather then moving the clip in the master. Another way is to copy your comped clips into a new track and delete all the take lanes. Then there is nothing underneath to mess them up.

If your getting Hard crashes then you can submit a crash dump to see if it is Cakewalk or one of your plugins. I don't know how to roll-back but if you look above in this same thread there are others who have asked the same question and were somehow able to roll-back. Maybe it was from a pre-release version?

If your getting rid of your old PC then make sure to De-Activate any plugins first so they don't get stuck on that unused machine

In the Reference manual the grid line settings only reference the Drum Pane not the normal piano roll view. Maybe they only work in that view?

I have not had this happen. However, to submit a bug try to create a minimal project where it can be reproduce and email support@cakewalk.com.

If you share a picture of your export settings it might help people trouble shoot this with you. What are the levels you are seeing on the main bus when you play it in real-time? Are you exporting the main bus output or something else?

Make sure you have the X32 setup to allow daw control in the settings. There is a setting the main area to enable DAW control. Also, remeber you have to push the physical "DAW" button on the X32 to enable/disable this feature. If you have done all that you could get a midi monitor program to make sure your PC is seeing the Midi commands sent in.

Probably better asked in https://discuss.cakewalk.com/index.php?/forum/8-feedback-loop/ forum.

First off, you don't have to use a drum map to hear your sounds. If you just use the keyboard layout and you play a "B2" note do you hear the drums? Do you hear them if you play any notes? First get Kontakt working and outputting sound then start on the drum map. It would also be useful for you to post a picture of your drum map and how you are applying it to the track.

This sounds alot like there is automation or a control message being sent to set the volume. Check the event list, CC lanes in the PVR, or automation to see if there is something in the track setting at playback. There is also a "zero controllers" setting in the preferences that might affect this as well.

The reference guide gives two ways for deleting measures. Check out pp 715 for more details. Deleting measures or time from one or more tracks There are two methods for deleting time or measures: If there is any audio or MIDI data in the area you want to delete, you can use the Edit > Delete command to delete the area that you select. Portions of MIDI clips may have no data in them: they have boundaries but no dark lines inside—if that’s the case, use the following method. If there is no data in the area you want to delete, you can simply drag any clips that come after the empty area to their proper destinations. You can also use this method if there is data in the area you want to delete—you just have to choose whether you want to replace the data in the deleted area, blend it with the data you’re moving, or slide it over to make room.
