Yes, there are. When you get a real audio interface, the drivers should come with it.

No. I am saying that your problem track is likely hot enough at that one spot that when mixed in with everything else, your master clips. Each track can be fine by itself, but the cumulative levels together can clip. When you re recorded it, the level was just lower enough to fix the clipping when the tracks are mixed together. So, it is expected behavior that your master will clip when overloaded.

Actually, your fix kinda proves that the problem was in your project, not in the software. And like John mentioned, the meters in CbB don't react fast enough to show things of this nature. Now, don't take this as an insult, but I would have just re recorded the track (like you finally did) days ago and been done with it.

I couldn't care less about presets. I much prefer dialing in my own sound.

I have been using SONAR, & now CbB since V6 and have yet to experience symptoms as described unless something is clipping or I cut something not at a zero crossing.

You sure the master output isn't clipping?

The easiest way to get good guitar tone is with a guitar. As for the other, you have to set the track output and channel to your desired Instrument.

1) It's well past time to upgrade to CbB. Probably won't fix this, but it won't hurt either and there are tons of bug fixes & refined features in the meantime. 2) If you have sample rate mismatches, you will get drift. 3) All your different audio sources have different clocks and this is not helping either.

Those Bastards! Just when I thought I was done getting new stuff for awhile!

Are you doing this while the project is playing back?

Install X3 on the new computer and then install CbB.

Along those lines, I would also add: don't make perfect be the enemy of good enough.

Didn't fool me; I know better.

I have had good results recording acoustic guitar and Bouzouki with the iRig acoustic mike. Does a pretty good job of isolating the instrument. You can also make a booth out of moving blankets which, while not perfect, helps considerably. I have done that in the past. I made a frame out of PVC pipe and hung the blankets with tarp clips and shower curtain rings. Blackout curtains on the windows help some, too.

You need to use ASIO. Also, you need to make sure that other apps running in the background aren't interrupting what you're doing. Antivirus are some of the worst.

What audio interface do you have?

What happens if you select "left" as the input?

Real amps or sims, doesn't matter. The principle is the same.

Practice your singing technique. You'll have much less fixing to do.

Get a real audio interface with real drivers for it. ASIO4ALL is nothing but problems and bluetooth is too slow for realtime audio.

They won't care.

Betcha your problem vanishes when you ditch that junk cable for a real audio interface.

The easiest way to make a million dollars as a musician is to start with two million.

Coming back around. A is for Anthrax

I have no issues with doing that.
