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.

I have the one from the original Proteus modules, but not this one. It does go on sale periodically and I think it sounds great.

What in God's name are you talking about?

There isn't one.

Try asking on the Presonus forum or contacting their support.

Don't take this the wrong way but you keep asking the most basic questions about the most basic functionality - any of which could be answered by spending 5 minutes with the documentation. You would be much better served by starting from the beginning and working through John's tutorials as well as spending some quality time with the reference guide. https://bandlab.github.io/cakewalk/docs/Cakewalk Reference Guide.pdf These are enormously helpful resources and utilizing them saves endless hours of frustration.

It really doesn't work in W10 period. Time to move on.

I would really recommend spending some quality time with the documentation.

I would just say that it's well past time to bite the bullet and get with the times. That might sound harsh, but insisting on continuing to use ancient, obsolete, no-longer-supported software is just asking for trouble. Eventually, you end up having to run 23-year-old software on a 23-year-old operating system which will only run on 23-year-old hardware and once that hardware starts breaking down try finding replacements! Now what?

I'm sorry you already spent your money, but what you need is a real audio interface. Those USB mixers are fine for recording a stereo mix down of your band, but they just don't cut it for a multitrack recording.

I don't either, but so many people do. Even worse is that people will listen through one half of a set of crappy earbuds.

Or you can get a proper audio interface that has a proper ASIO driver and fix 99% of your audio issues all at once.

With no information about your system or it's settings, everyone is left guessing.
