I told him this earlier in the thread but he chooses to ignore it

You've got SI Bass Guitar in the FX bin You need to insert it as a soft synth Delete Track 1 and start again

If you have a reasonably well spec'ed interface it will come with its own ASIO driver. I don't think any of us have had to hunt for Windows ASIO drivers

ASIO is not the same as ASIO4ALL I would ALWAYS recommend using ASIO over the piece of junk known as ASIO4ALL as it's not ASIO - it's just a wrapper to fool Windows into thinking it is a fully compliant ASIO driver. It isn't. And that's why the warning pops up in Cakewalk/Sonar.

Hit 'f' to Fit the tracks to the screen If it doesn't show the other tracks hit 'h' for Track Manager and put a tick against any unticked tracks

And if you're using the new Sonar you can save it as a Cakewalk Zip file

Ripple edit is an extremely powerful tool and can totally destroy your project if you don't know what you're doing. It's primary use (for me) is for deleting unwanted measures and to slide everything over to fill in the gap. The extremely important thing to remember is you MUST switch it off when you've made your edit, otherwise it will stay active and cause untold mayhem.

There are only 2 solutions, bot are mentioned in the above post(s) Ditch SI drums for a drum vsti which exposes multiple Audio outputs Use multiple instances of SI drums, one for each kit piece. Sadly this could end up looking a total mess and will be resource heavy

Select None (Ctrl + Shift + a) Or try Greg's solution and switch Ripple Edit off

I fail to see how this makes CbB better than Sonar. If you're using Jbridge I(see above) then the vast majority of your 32 bit plugins will work in Sonar as well as they do in CbB. And are you absolutely sure there's no 64bit version of these plugins available? I and many others ditched most of our 32 bit plugs years ago.

That's always been the case, going way back prior to Cakewalk by Bandlab. The recommended solution was always to use Jbridge if Bitbridge was throwing up errors

It's only a warning - nothing prevents you from using ASIO4ALL but why anyone would want to do this is a mystery.

Yes, exactly this. Back in the days before we had articulation maps, I used Drum maps extensively to map out orchestral articulations - one for each instrument It was a monumental undertaking but it worked! I had the drum map above the note pane so I could change artics in context with the note being played

No, that's wrong. Any previously installed instance of TTS-1 will work in all versions of Cakewalk/Sonar

We have exclusive solo, which is very useful What about an exclusive mute? I can think of several scenarios where this could be really beneficial

Absolutely this. I got rid of all my 32 bit plugins.

And fwiw, you'll never see ANY improvement in performance from ANY DAW until you get a proper audio interface and ditch the Realtek.

I would start by working out if it's a single track causing this or a build up from several tracks Use Mute or Solo to home in on the problem Are you sure you're not clipping your mains?

From memory, I think you need the physical disc to install V8, then the download of 8.5 installed on top of 8 You need both

No. Recording level is only ever governed by the settings on your interface. Setting the appropriate level there is the first step in gain staging.

I should have remembered that. I went through the same process earlier in the year 😄😄😄

Very odd. At this point I suggest an email to support@cakewalk.com

You probably shouldn't have let Cakewalk install the basic version. Uninstall both and try installing Assistant again

Set your sends to pre-fader
