First thing you need to do is uninstall that Steinberg generic asio driver.

Are you using the VST2 or VST3 version?

If I try to use the VST3,  it crashes about 4 out of 5 times but the VST2 works just fine.

I have seen other similar reports.

Have you tried referring to any of the voluminous documentation or watching any of the many tutorials?

Cakewalk is not "powered" by the audio interface.

That interfere is about as small as they come.

I can get stability when using a USB external sound device.

Problem solved.

Its a beta version that is no longer being developed. Ditch it and move on.

Buy or don't buy. I don't give a damn either way.

There's plenty of other places on the internet to discuss poly ticks. Leave that crap out of here

Another thread getting ruined by poly ticks.

No, I spelled it right....

So do you have a question or are you just bitching?

I think it would be a lot simpler to automate the reverb send.

Honest to God, the vocals sounded 100 times better before.

Go to the event list and remove any volume controllers.

You haven't heard my voice.  Or maybe you have.  I posted one song here.

 

Just for that, I went and found it and listened to the whole thing.

1)You're singing flat.

The reason people sing flat is typically because they are pushing too hard and/ or there is a lot of tension in their vocal tract.

I can hear the tension around your larynx. I can even feel it. If I imagine myself making the same sounds, I can actually feel my vocal tract tense and strained.

You need to relax. The more you try to force things, the worse it gets. Counterintuitively, the higher and harder you sing, the more relaxed you need to be.

2)Your performance lacks passion. You don't convince me. It lacks passion because you are trying so hard not to mess up that it gets in the way of conveying  emotion.

And that brings us back to 1: relax.

No amount of magic plugins will ever fix that tension or that fear.

I know that we have gone around and around with this before but I'm telling you: if you spent the money and effort you have on plugins on vocal training instead, you would be much better off. But if you have already made your mind up, nothing I say will convince you.

I didn't hear a terrible voice. I heard an untrained voice.

Is Cakewalk Reliable For Large Projects?

Yes

We tend to remember only the good parts of the good old days. 

There was some really crappy music in the '60s and '70s. Probably even worse than today.

Melodyne needs to be used as a region FX and not in the FX bin

Its a scam just like Android phones. There is absolutely no reason why a phone can't be updated to newer versions of Android but the manufacturers make you buy a whole new device.  Bovine Excrement!

Proof is the Google Pixel but they are so damn expensive.

Determined, I searched and searched and found two solutions: Nokia sells unlocked phones that they give you two Android version updates for. Or, if you are tech weenie enough, and have the right one, you can root the phone and install a custom ROM

I bet a proper audio interface with proper ASIO drivers will solve that.

Yes

Based on your "old voice is so bad" comment, I think your real solution here is voice lessons.

I  believe one can think of it as using the voice as an oscillator for a synthesizer.

How many times are you going to cross post this?

Um... That would kind of defeat the purpose of a vocoder....
