Hello. Thank you all for the reply and help. I tried to move the parts, so that the first measure is empty. But the problem is the same. I'm already using the Ping Hi, Ping Low sounds for metronome. Higher latency did not help. Increased to 512 and even 1024 samples, but with no noticeable effect. I then tried to do a MIDI track with Cakewalk TTS-1 and a percussive instrument. I used a measure with 1/4 beats and copied 4 times. And the issue is the same! WAV and MIDI playback is completely out of sync. I then clicked through the track properties and tried every option. And I found it! As soon as I switched the rendering method from "Elasticqe" to "Groove", the sync issue seems gone! Also, the loop playback seems way better. I now made this the default in Preferences. I then just also tested with built in metronome and it also works fine now! So for the moment it seems good. ? PS. If I select "Percussion", Cakewalk immediately crashes if I start playback. Strange...

Hi, thanks for the reply. The audio is just a WAV file with a drum, recorded and cut at exactly 145 BPM in 2 measures. There is no groove clip property. I tried it in energy XT and n-track and it works with no problems. There I can play with metronome and loop and it starts and stays in sync. Also, in Cakewalk the offset varies randomly. Most time, it is in sync the first time. After the first loop it gets out of sync. The third loop is worst (completely off) and the 4th loop is back in sync again. Really strange. For the video, this is sad. It is very small (<4MB), maybe you can "save as" and view it locally?

Hi, I have ESI Juli@ PCI soundcard running on Windows 8.1 PC (64 Bit). I currently run most recent Cakewalk by Bandlab 2019.05, Build 31 64Bit). Check the uploaded Video. I simply dragged a beat (145 BPM) to the project, copied it once and activated playback metronome (Audio). As you can hear, it is completely out of sync. The screenrecorder recorded some 'crackling' which were not in the original. Currently, it is impossible to make music. I recognize it to be out of sync the most time. Also, repeating the loop at the end seem to also create a small pause. The video also showing my settings. I already switched the mainboard (new PC) and re-installed ESI Juli@ drivers. I switched ASIO latency from 256 to 512. I activated "enable read caching" and "enable write caching" in "Sync and caching" settings, but all without success ? Any idea about what else I can do? Thanks! 2019-05-18 at 15-51-21.mp4
