The man who bought us Death Magnetic. I betcha he didn't record the tracks that way. Notwithstanding the fact that - as much as I dislike Apple - I gotta admit that Core Audio is superior to Windows' native drivers. Certainly much better than WDM inside a buggy wrapper. Anyway, this has gotten way off track. The OP says "I need ASIO4ALL" but without telling us anything about his one can only guess as to why he thinks this.

It's possible to make music on a Windows 98 laptop with Cakewalk pro Audio 9 too. Or a four-track cassette deck. That doesn't make it desirable. Why not spend $100 or so, make it easy on yourself and instantly solve 99% of one's audio issues in the meantime? Oh, and by the way $100 two in two out interface with a real asio driver is "budget gear."

I guess it wasn't that important....

No? Took a whole 47 seconds to find this.

If anyone wanted to know a good reason for staying reasonably up-to-date, here it is.

It's possible to mow 2+ acres with a push mower too....

What audio interface do you have? ASIO4ALL is totally unnecessary. It is nothing but a wrapper that fools your host into thinking that the WDM driver is an ASIO one. WASAPI has replaced WDM as a much superior native Windows driver and is a much better choice than that redundant ASIO4ALL garbage. The real solution is to use a proper ASIO interface with proper ASIO drivers.

Wow, there's an idea! Use an app that's designed for what you're trying to do. Who would have ever thought of that?

Computers do what you tell them to, not what you want them to. The sooner you get that into your head the happier you're going to be. Did you even bother looking in the documentation to see if that's even a feature that's available?

Cakewalk is not a video player.

I despise Crapple for this very reason....

This was originally going to be done with my Korg X3 and E-mu Proteus FX until the E-mu died. Digital Sound Factory saved it with their SoundFonts of the Proteus 1,2 and 3 modules. While the FX is based on the same samples as the 1&2, the sounds aren't exactly the same. This got me close enough and I was able to complete the project in the same spirit. I was going for an 80's style synth tune. Yeah I know that the X3 and Proteus modules are 90's but the idea was to do it using only the vintage hardware. Even though I had to cheat. Lots of help on the arrangement and style from Band-in-a-Box (edited later in CbB). All the little ear candy bits I played in myself. I hope I captured the feel decently. I never really paid attention to this kind of thing the first time. I grew up as a Rocker and Metalhead and back then it was "eeeewww, synthesizers." Now we have Rammstein, Fear Factory and Dimmu Borgir. I'm not sure exactly what genre this is. Synthwave? It's not quite morose enough to be Darkwave. Maybe dim wave? Dusk wave? Anyway, here it is.

What plugins? What presets? People are going to need some kind of details in order to help you.

Harrison Mixbus allows you to export in multiple formats simultaneously.

I believe that Crapple has their own proprietary format.

VST3 s will automatically install into a predefined folder unless you manually redirect it, which is not recommended. That folder should be in your scan path. It only took about a minute and a half to find https://support.native-instruments.com/hc/en-us/articles/210313545-Plug-in-Administration-in-Cakewalk

One of the secrets to killer guitar tone is to minimize the amount of stuff in your signal chain.

Maybe people should refer to the documentation before they start crying BUG.

I figured you had something set up wrong. Your audio interface is just what the name suggests: the interface between your computer and sound waves in the outside world. It should be the one and only place where sound goes into and comes out of the computer. I'll check their site. Thanks ?? All this should have been covered in the documentation provided with your interface.

Focusrite most assuredly has an ASIO driver.

Yeah. The Sunset is NICE. I had resisted it before when it was on sale recently because I thought I had enough reverbs already that I hardly use. I picked it as one of my freebies and it immediately became my . go-to. I tend to be very sparing with reverb. Most of them get real overwhelming real fast. This is like I just stuck the band together in a room that has a really nice natural, subtle reverb.

But still unnecessary.

Sure. You can grab your tracks and slide them to wherever you want. Use a proper audio interface and you don't have to worry about it.
