Aah, now it all makes sense. I was able to change the pitch range in my soft synths and it worked! Only one, FM8, doesn't seem to change, unless I'm doing something wrong (see screenshot)

Thanks, guys, for the feedback. I use it all the time to create drum patterns with. I'll look into your suggestions.

Hi. One can assign a different velocity for each step in a row, and different velocities between rows. But, this is not possible for panning. Only one panning set can be used between all the rows. See screenshot 1, showing the panning for a row. Screenshot 2 shows the panning for another row, but it displays the same panning from the previous row. If I were to change it here, then the change would reflect in all the other rows too. Please, it will be a great upgrade if panning can also be made independent between rows.

Hi everyone. I cannot get the wheel to bend a note's pitch by a full octave or two. In the snapshot, you'll see the wheel envelope going down all the way to -8192, but the pitch still doesn't drop from D4 to D3. Can someone please tell me if I'm missing something?

Thanks for the response.

Hi everyone. I want to use sidechaining for the first time, and according to the tutorials, I should add a Send in the console of the trigger instrument (track 30) to the console of the one that I'd like to compress (track 29). When I click on Send in track 30, the list of options does not include the compressor in track 29. Can someone please enlighten me?

I hope somebody can give a satisfactory potential explanation for this bizarre behavior: When I move multiple (mostly midi) clips forward in time, my Step Sequencer clips in Track 22 vanish! Gone! I tried it several times, making sure this track wasn't selected. I even cut the clips before moving the rest and tried to paste them back into the track afterward. But alas, this got even weirder - the tree wav clips from track 1 pasted into track 22!

This is an eye-opener to me, thanks. The problem is clicks and pops during playback. I use mainly Electronic with many soft synths. USB 3. 23x Soft Synths (many are instances of the same ones). Minus all instances, and that leaves 10 soft synths. 21x Tracks

What kind of system do you use, i.e. CPU type, SSD etc?

Hi, you referred to the NIC causing clicks ad pops - what is NIC?

All right -- I'm surely but slowly getting there. Yep, I also don't use my monitor speakers, so I'll get rid of the Nvidia driver. Realtek Audio was the biggest culprit. I uninstalled that one, and now CW's performance is much better (about the same as on my old system, which wasn't too bad). In a few days I'll add more RAM - hopefully, that will also make a difference. I read somewhere that Xeon CPUs aren't great for real-time audio production, which is what my new system (unfortunately) has.

I'm running Win 11, and the only power options I see are Screen and Sleep, and Energy Recommendations, which are all non-active.

Thank you, I'll look into it.

To delete the Realtec drivers in Reg edit, is it as simple as just deleting them?

Hi, where should I check in LatencyMon for identified issues, such as a video card driver? See my snapshot after I ran a test:

Thanks Jim, for clarifying this.

That's astounding, that a video card could have any effect on audio performance!

Oh, I thought 32 Gb Ram would be sufficient for audio. How much Ram do you use?

It's mainly Midi with 21 tracks, using 17 soft synths (and more than one instances of the same ones). There's one audio track containing several sound fx clips.

Yes, I ran Latency Mon on the new PC and it did not pass the test. But, is there anything that can be done within this app to optimize the PC? With regards to the ASIO driver - I thought that the driver installed for the audio interface would be the proper or "real" one. How can I obtain the right type of ASIO driver? You'll see in my screenshot that I have only two options for fivers - The Audiobox one and then Realtek ASIO. Another thing - could the number of CPU cores impact playback performance? Although my new PC has a faster processor, it only has 16 cores as opposed to the 30 of the old PC.

The new PC has 16 cores, while the old one had 30. Could this be the determining factor for playback performance?

Does it also provide 16 channels with different instruments/patches allocated for each channel?

Hi all. I am feeling despondent beyond words. I recently purchased a newer PC (not the latest, but at least 5 years newer than the previous one) to improve on latency and playback issues. But after the big effort to migrate to a newer system has proven futile. The few clicks and pops I heard during playback of an old song of mine, are now 10x worse! I've experimented with different buffer settings under Mixing Latency in Cakewalk, but that didn't make any difference. My audio interface hasn't changed -- it's a Presonus Audiobox USB 96. The same Asio drivers. OLD SYSTEM: Dell T7910 E5-2640v3 8C 2,60Ghz / 128GB DDR4 Ram with 512GB SSD. NEW SYSTEM: Dell Precision 5820 W-2145 8C16T 3,7Ghz / 32GB Ram with 1TB SSD. (this system supposedly has a faster bus speed, and this should have reflected in performance). Can someone please give me some hope?

Thank you so much, John, I'll definitely check it out! It looks like, as soon as I route a second track to the same midi channel (in this case 16 with the Power drum set instrument assigned), the instrument reverts to the default one, i.e. the Standard set. I did not assign any particular bank or patch the tracks, as it seems unnecessary (it works for all the other tracks channels). But alas, after I assigned a bank and patch for the second track, the instrument didn't change again! So, thank you, guys, for your valuable input.
