I'm not sure I communicated well what the issue was, and why a static setting is not the best choice, for me. Hopefully in this post you see a graphic that I created for it. This is in CW prefs. Shutting off effects allows me to set the ASIO buffers to an incredibly fast setting of 2 MS. This makes it a pleasure to precisely record midi stuff - be it drums or piano or whatever. No delays. No manual fixing needed. But when I want to work with the effects on, I must increase buffer size. The amount depends on how many live effects I have. Often, I try to freeze tracks as much as possible but that's not always convenient. In the graphic, you see where I set it to 60MS. This works fine for playback, but recording introduces significant delays in the midi not recording. So I do not use it for recording. And so if I am recording, editing etc and if I want plug ins enabled for playback, I must constantly go back and forth on the ASIO setting. If there was a way to set an ASIO buffer override setting for all effects off and/or recording, that would work. Like I said, I work around this, but it's just tedious after the millionth time. It's not a Bandlab caused issue, been like this at least from Sonar 1 which is when I started with Cake.

When I am recording in Cakewalk, I shut off all the effects and I turn down the ASIO buffer size. I can get it down to 2MS. When I want to play things back with all effects on, I go into preferences and set the ASIO buffer size to some higher number - anywhere from 20-40MS or even more. I do this manually, and as you might guess, I end up doing it a million times a day if I am recording and listening and building and going back and forth. Is there any way that I can have one ASIO buffer automatically when effects are off and one on when they are on? I'm guessing no. Although I love Cakewalk, I have just passed my 1 millionth time having to do this manually.
