Then it would only make sense to use those accepted industry standard pro practices to make that happen.

Two-year-old thread

What are you plugging these 8 different mics into?

High probability that what changed is that his substandard game controller cable crapped out like so many reviewers on Amazon noted. FWIW, there seems to be quite a number of videos on YouTube about how to fix one. Not so many about fixing a Presonus or Focusrite 2 channel audio interface though....

I'm guessing "no." 99.99% of these brain-dead simple issues could be solved almost instantly - without having to wait for hours, or even days, on a response to a forum post - by READING THE FLIPPING MANUAL!

And why not? That thing isn't even intended for recording; it's a game controller. And a really crappy one at that. Read the Amazon reviews. Over and over about how they work for a short time and then quit working. Was is the operative word here. The way to fix this is to save up your pennies and buy a decent audio interface. I know it's not what you wanted to hear, but it's the truth; you're gonna have to spend some money.

EQ. Better instruments. EQ some better instruments.

Ditch that garbage and get a real audio interface with a real ASIO driver.

I guess the OP lost interest....

CbB is Windows only.

What's wrong with rebooting if it works?

Thread 51,001 on this exact same thing. Does no one do even a cursory search or - God Forbid! - RTFM? http://www.cakewalk.com/Documentation?product=Cakewalk&language=3&help=0x1A5A0

Magic plug-ins aren't going to fix crappy mixes.

I said "about ....."

There's only about 52,000 threads on this.

I was on the fence, thinking I don't really need another synthesizer but for some reason I kept trying and I finally managed to get in there during the window off opportunity and get a hold of this thing. I played with for a while before going to work and I've been able to get some really nasty, mean, raunchy, dirty, ugly sounds out of it! ( That's a good thing.)

"It's nothing but a fiction" doesn't necessarily mean the same thing as "it isn't real."

Even the idea that gold itself has any value is nothing but a fiction.

Money itself is all fake if you really think about it. Except it isn't.

All my Spitfire Labs stuff is there and working like a charm Right on. There is absolutely no need to install 32 bit versions.

What we have all been saying. You really ought to develop your skills - and your ears - instead of searching for more magic plug-ins. Geoff Emerick and George Martin didn't need all that crap. Eddie Kramer didn't need all that crap. Glynn Johns don't need all that crap.

Yes. Delete it completely.

I won't discount the possibility that I am conflating "high pass" and "shelving." I do know that when recording live instruments I get a fair amount of low end rumbling stuff that is really nothing but noise and mud and that drastically cutting it clears things up tremendously.

Yes. GET RID OF THAT GARBAGE ASIO4All DRIVER!
