Watch it! Apparently, now you're a troll if you suggest someone peruse the documentation.

Ridiculous. Do they not teach basic research skills in school any more?

Or you could put in some effort on your part You could also try opening the help module. What the hell are they supposed to do? Put the entire f***ing manual in the tool tips?

That's what the documentation is for.

Pretty skinny there. That's much of your problem right there. What about antivirus? Have you excluded your audio folders and those for CW and your plugins themselves?

ASIO4ALL is not a real ASIO driver!

Record on a mono track instead of a stereo one.

Still have no information about your system.

Without any information about your system or the plugins you are trying to run, we are all left guessing.

Don't feed the troll.

Nope. You can have tracks armed for recording and play back your project all day long without hitting record.

Could be that the drive your audio is on is disconnected.

That has nothing to do with Cakewalk.

Or build an isolation booth. Even just hanging up moving blankets does wonders.

True, but the OP is one. In his position, I would be starting a construction project; I can't imagine spending hours and hours futzing around to create a performance with VIs that I could knock out in a few minutes with the real thing.

People were excited when Roland bought Cakewalk too.....

Oh, I don't know, maybe out of the money I get because I do have one?

Or instead of fiddle f****** around with workarounds and half measures: https://www.digitalsoundfactory.com/?orderby=price-desc&paged=1&s=E-MU+&post_type=product

Usually the drummer gets blamed for the band being so damn loud but I think it is the guitarist. Guitarists easily equal - if not outdo- lead singers for being self-centered, egotistical jackasses. I say this and I are a guitar player. So many of them buy their amps with their inflated egos instead of their ears. I have been to shows in clubs where the guitarist just has to have a 100 watt Mesa Dual Rectifier and just has to dime it out because he just has to have "his sound" and his ego can't play without "his sound." The poor drummer has no choice to bash the shit out of everything. Even if he is miked. Get over yourself, ***** hole. No one except you gives a sheisse about "your sound." Not even the other guitarists. I wouldn't care if you played through a Fender Champ and a Boss Meatalzone. I'd probably actually prefer it.

Forgive the obvious question, but why don't you just play this stuff on guitar? Wouldn't that be a whole lot simpler?

Must...... resist....... Must...... resist....... mentioning........ obvious....... solution..........

Using 3rd party VSTis will not "burnout the CPU," whatever the hell that is. There is, however, a longstanding feature request for such a thing . Perhaps you should add your voice to the choir.

Same song, different verse.
