Mr. Torture

Yeah, I searched and all content in that folder is gone. Very disappointing. I had a backup, but that external drive died so I am SOL. just hard to believe that if the hard drive is bad or going it would only target that one folder.

Yeah all paths are correct. All files / audio are gone.

I would like to add that the “Cakewalk Project” folder has a creation date of yesterday, the same day I did this update. I have had this computer and folder for over 12 years. No other folder on the drive was affected.

I have not turned on my computer in a few weeks, I fired it up and started Cakewalk. It asked me to do an update which I did. Now my project folder is empty? I can find other project files on the same drive and other drives, but the specific folder is completely empty. I know it's the correct Cakewalk folder and it did not change the location in settings when it updated?

I came here to ask a legitimate question about a feature the software offers, just looking for some pointers and maybe some insight. I don’t know why you felt you needed to post this. Not only does it add no value to the thread, it’s disrespectful. Maybe you think you’re being funny or you are bitter. Don’t know, but please just avoid comments like this in the future. It’s old and not productive. Thank you for your response, it’s very helpful!

So I have been playing around with audio snap, I assume this is what you use to perfectly align audio to the grid. Some things sound a bit wacky and stuttering, I assume it because I am snapping the wrong transients. Maybe it’s because I am trying to snap distorted guitars? The transients rarely land right on the beat and I know my timing isn’t that bad lol. How do you guys normally time guitars? Thanks!

Is there a way to save a volume automation envelope so I can recall it and apply it within another session?

How can I reset the view? It’s kinda messed up to where I cannot see to move velocity? Any way to just reset it back to default? thanks!!

Never mind, I figured it out. Originally I posted where the themes were kept,

I will try it again tonight and see if I can replicate it, take some screen shots.

The other day I was trying to fix a slight off time guitar part, I went through the process and everything seemed ok, but when I went to finalize the process (Bounce to clips) the option was not there? The only way I could select bounce to clips was to shut off the audio snap? Which kinda defeats the purpose?

What’s the best way to backup my program so it saves all my track templates etc? should I back up the entire c drive?

If you have a send to a buss setup on a track with a reverb in the effect bin and you save the track as a template, will it save the buss & effect along with it?

My thoughts as well.

I have an Ilok usb drive with some licenses on it. Can I move all of them to the ilok cloud and remove the usb? If so, what's the easiest way to do that? Thanks!

I have done a bit of reading and they say monitors are usually good for a maximum of 10 years. I cannot help but think after 23 years that they may not be operating at peak performance. Plus technology has eclipsed these monitors long ago.

Realized that I posted this in the wrong section, if someone could move the "Gear" it would be appreciated. Thanks!

I have a set of Mackie HDR824's, they are around 23 years old. I think it's time for an upgrade, was wondering what you folks thought about Focal products? Thanks!

DC offset was unchecked. I opened a project with 4 guitar tracks and one instance of Superior drummer 3 (about 2 gigs drum kit) set buffers to 128 and it played back perfectly fine. here is what the engine was doing. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/kcaDyp4ZmuY

Thank you for the information about the expansion, good to know! I will check that setting, but if I simply change the buffers to 256, all that distortion and weird clicking goes away. I just imported in that stereo mix for the example, it would do the exact same thing if I tried to record a single track of guitar.

All audio drivers updated including firmware. Internal sound disabled, windows updates shut off. Everything was optimized from pc audio labs. computer is nearly 12 years old but runs an i7 processor. I added the 4 channel RME input expansion in 2017. Problems really began when I upgraded to windows 10. But I didn’t use the expansion a lot until recently. It utilizes pcie too, maybe that’s an issue? Thinking about disconnecting and see what happens.

I am using the RME PCIe card, which is one of the most stable cards in existence. The computer is completely optimized for recording audio, it has been gone over extensively.

if I run them at 256 it goes away. I have a single audio track playing a stereo mix (24/44.1) and 2 empty audio tracks. No effects or plugs at all running. Sometimes I can do tracking at 128 without this issue, most of the time I get this distorted mess. Any ideas? I am running 32 gigs of Ram and according to the performance meters, it’s barely registering. https://youtu.be/MoFMInaTffE
