Must not have been that important....

HAL sounds kinda monotone.

Lossless Cut for the win. That's it's whole purpose.

Shotcut is a free NLE for video that is not nearly as resource intensive as DaVinci Resolve (nor, of course, as powerful)

I still use my Korg X3.

Keeping your expectations low makes them way easier to meet.

It sounds like your BIAB  project used Real Tracks, which are audio recordings, not MIDI so you are stuck with what you got.

I talked myself into two different jobs when I knew better.

This is because apps want to ping to your phone and gather data on your location and then sell that data off to make more profit. And why many are demanding this use. Do not be naive. Push back. Also it means that ifg you lose your phone you lose your access to all your banking, soundcloud etc. So it is a terrible idea. We must push back against this. Demand they remove it and that it is a opt in only option. To force this on consumers is absolutely unethical . I travel a lot and 2FA is the bane of my existence and having to install and remove mutliple sim cards to get into accounts and pay bills. It is a *****ing mess. I have never had any cyber threat and until i do, i do not require any further applications forced onto me under the guise of "safety and security" as soon as i hear those terms, i know something dark is going on. 

It didn't used to be like that. I have seen many times the suggestion of getting a cheap prepaid and using it for 2fa and nothing else.

I use my Korg X3 all the time.

Yeah...that's why I stopped building computers (or bikes or anything else) for people long ago--they usually thought they knew what they needed and wouldn't listen to me about it, then blamed me when it didn't do what they wanted....

I've seen people who bring in their car wanting something "fixed" that is a design feature.

Dollars to donuts its due to an FX with a lookahead buffer. Common offenders are convolution reverbs, linear phase EQ/Compression and transient shapers. If the FX isn't in the path of the track you're input monitoring, you can click the PDC button in the Mix Module to override Plugin Delay Compensation on input-monitored tracks while tracking. But if it's on the Master bus or otherwise in the path from that track to the ouput, you'll need to disable/remove it.

This is exactly why I wait until mixing to add any effects.

I'm finding no way around this, and it's held up months of progress. I think the answer might be to DUMP Cakewalk. I see no real answers only hacks.

Has anyone had any success around this issue with other DAWS?

Yeah. RTFM.  If you'd have done that, you would have solved this non-issue months ago.

There's only like 357,296 piano VSTs  available from developers who are still in business and supporting their product.

I'm just asking how to make this program work like it's supposed to. No need to comment on the issue if you don't have any suggestions for a solution.

You've been given the answer. You can take advantage of the advice of those who know and have experience or you can ignore it and keep fighting reality. Your choice.

At this point, Cakewalk is just completely unusable.

It is highly useable. That you are unwilling to invest in proper equipment is your fault, not Cakewalk's.

You need to get an audio interface that has a manufacturer supplied ASIO driver if you are recording audio or you will have sync issues.

You know what time of year it is, don't you?

I use a Flying V through a 50 watt Marshall JMP MK II Master Lead boosted with a Tube Screamer clone.

Of course I was wrong once. It could happen a second time.

I thought I was wrong once, but I was mistaken.

Did you follow the instructions that came with the interface and install the driver from Focusrite?
