Like OFFICE 365 .. for monthly sub you get the whole suite of apps - word, excel, powerpoint, access, outlook, publisher, onedrive 1TB and load of other cloud apps. Rather than MS charging you for each individual prog you pay a monthly fee for the lot. With MS the adv is you will always get the latest version as long as you keep the sub up, no more having to repurchase the 2022 or 2025 or or versions of office, all included with the sub. I assume REASON doing the same, as long as you keep up the 19.99PM sub you will get everything and always the newest versions plus probably all new stuff they add over time

I think the sub is the complete kitchen sink, everything inc all instruments, effects etc .. not sure everyone has ALL? thats the impression i get anyway

@Mr. Torture I had vaguely similar issues with my Audient EVO 4... seems it was driver related. BUT maybe the solution outlined setting the windows Sound Playback default format to the same sample rate as CW

Heres hoping @Noel Borthwick ... The driver they gave me is quiet basic, I imagine more featured ver will turn up on release. I tested it on my Laptop too tonight .. works fine also.

Ok @Noel Borthwick .. Im just replying here so all can see .. I just tried out this new ( not released as of yet ) Audient ASIO Driver that was sent to me by AUDIENT earlier. As per our remote session last monday, to work around the issue at hand, you had changed the DEFAULT FORMAT ( in windows SOUND SETTINGS playback driver properties ) to 44,100 Hz to coincide with the same setting in CW for the projects. meaning temp wise, if any tracks in CW were at say 48000 or 96000 then this manual trick would need to be applied each time. With the new driver installed I deliberately changed the DEFAULT FORMAT to 96,000 Hz as you can see in the image below & also DEFAULTED the EVO 4 for Windows rather than the built in REALTEK . I then loaded CW and loaded a few of the projects we were testing with. ALL PLAYED FINE, no more drop outs. It does look like they have resolved the issue with this driver. I will try the same thing on my LAPTOP later on and see if result is the same. As an aside I also noted that in CW prefs / Playback & Recording, with ASIO set as Driver Mode, it was also listing the FL Asio Driver. In fact when I launched CW it gave me an error about that FL Asio Driver .. I simply removed the FL Asio Driver in Programs and Features. Error gone. I have no doubt better off with that gone anyway, stick with the AUDIENT ASIO driver in all apps

Fair enough BUT for most hobbiests RME stuff is significantly more expensive than others - ST£850 + for an interface https://www.amazon.co.uk/s?k=rme&crid=1SDOGCUT4JY87&sprefix=rme%2Caps%2C145&ref=nb_sb_ss_ts-a-p_2_3 Maybe if you are making money out of your music like commercial recording etc then OK ..

Yip. Big multi function rotary knob top of EVO also with 5 function buttons controlled by it. The back has the 2 XLR/Full Jack inputs in the middle and 2 full jack out puts for speakers etc. And yes one Headphone jack at front but as i am through my sony stereo amp with source direct feature that gives me the 2nd Headphone Jack if needed I like its size though - about 3.5" across, 1.5" back to front, 1.5" height ( approx ). Easy to move around, solid feel to it, though plastic. Taking it out and about good too because everything except for that big rotary knob on top is flush, but even that is solid, so wont catch off anything in a bag. I move it from my Desktop to my laptop and back daily.

@chris.r I wouldnt let this "hiccup" turn you off the EVO 4. As a guitar player particularly, same goes for BASS and any other stringed instrument .. the full jack JFET DI interface is the job, plus as you said the very low roundtrip latency possible. As noel outlines above in the meantime there is a workaround that isnt too stressful https://evo.audio/products/evo-4/features/

https://audient.com/ https://evo.audio/products/evo-4/features/ https://evo.audio/products/ https://audient.com/products/audio-interfaces/id4/overview/ Hi guys, I HAVE STARTED THIS THREAD AS I NOTE A FEW HERE ( AND ON FACEBOOK CW GROUPS ) EITHER HAVE OR ARE CONSIDERING GETTING AUDIENT INTERFACES LIKE MENTIONED IN TITLE TO WORK WITH CAKEWALK. DO NOT LET THIS PUT YOU OFF THESE INTERFACES ( there is a workaround detailed in Noels response below in the meantime ) During the early access program thread ( now closed ) for the 2021.01 update I brought up an issue i was having with my new AUDIENT EVO 4 Interface, the ASIO DRIVER, which was producing Dropouts ( Error 0 ) when ever I used it to the point the minute a project was loaded I would get dropouts and even hangs. SO @Noel Borthwick kindly liased resulting in a remote session and concluded the issue was definitely the AUDIENT ASIO Driver and the way it was written, IT IS NOT A CAKEWALK ISSUE. Here is Noels thoughts: I have been back and forward with AUDIENT about this ( CCing Noel ) and they have now sent me a BETA new driver to try saying: "Our software team have released a new driver version, V4.1.10, which should alleviate problems with poor performance in some DAWS" So I will try this and report back. I noted the driver link is to an ID4 driver, I have asked them does this matter as I dont have an ID4, I have an EVO 4. However I just tried this and it seems to work but thats only from a quick test, will get more comprehensive when i have time later on ( its 11am here in Ireland, so work ) PS - The Evo 4 works fine using WASAPI and other Driver modes. ASIO is the issue and the driver

@Wibbles Did you see there new specialist DJ packs they have added: https://sounds.loopcloud.com/products?user=true&shop=true&wave=true&tags[]=cafbc9c1-5a00-4067-8f17-a9d9c251123c&page=1&utm_campaign=253638_LC Carl Cox 24%2F01%2F21&utm_medium=email&utm_source=Newsletter&dm_i=6D38,5FPI,165VYF,MUGM,1 Just bought the Carl Cox one. https://sounds.loopcloud.com/product/3862-Carl-Cox-Collective-My-Life-In-Music As I said I had 4000+ points so cost me nothing .. sort of

Fraid not .. Just spotted it as a way of getting Carbon Electra and getting another synth into the bargain. Lots of expansions so better value again. Possibly worth a punt for both for princely sum of $16

There is this as something to get and then Carbon electra FREE along with it: https://www.pluginboutique.com/product/1-Instruments/58-Inst-Bundle/7218-ImPerfect-Expansions-Bundle ImPerfect & Expansions Bundle - $16 "You can now get ImPerfect along with all expansion packs, giving you ImPerfect with a huge amount of brand new additional presets, in one unique package."

Sorry for that @Wibbles .. But hey its a good addiction if you make the most of it and get the 26 free samples everyday. You will build up a nice library AND the advantage is all are stored in your Cloud Library in the LC App and dont need to be downloaded to CW until they audition/work with a track. Plus if you go with a plan you build up a heck of alot of points every month that can used to buy more sample packs. All stored in the cloud after purchase. Dont forget with plans you also get 50GB+ of space in your library to upload your own samples and free up space on your HD.

Voucher Code - HOLIDAYGIFT2020 still works AND if one was to buy items separately rather than together one gets the full discount per individual item. Not sure how long this will last .. bought 4 items separately tonight

So who is going to be first to jump on this

Yip .. I am seeing quiet a few Client older systems with Windows 10 20H2 issues .. My own Dell i5 Inspiron 17" laptop is in this boat. I attempted once to upgrade to Windows 10 20H2, ended up with the bluescreen repair stuff on reboot .. had to revert back to the previous 2004 and left it at that since. I will not upgrade to Windows 10 20H2 until forced to do so. It is still as an OPTION to install in the Windows Update window, I will not be taking that option for the moment

Reinstalled on top of whats there BUT still getting these errors. Next up a complete uninstall/reinstall

So keep your X3 installed alongside so as to have access to the extras that came with that at the time. CbB install then picks up all the extra instruments etc installed by X3. Leave X3 installed .. doesnt take up much room, you wont be using it, just there to give you access in CbB to the stuff you got with X3 that was not be licenced by or wasnt bought out by Bandlab in 2018. BUT you still own legit because you bought X3 at pre that time and have a right to use still

How is it up against the UJAM stuff?

Hi @Noel Borthwick ... I would need to recreate but Im sure it was 1. As i think I solved it by replacing one of the 2 incidents of Cherry Audio DCO-106 with an Arturia 2600 VSTi playing the same line. So as mentioned by @chris.r it looks like its a DCO issue rather than CW? However out of interest I will try 2 separate DCO incidents in Ableton and Reason, see if same issues. For the giggle by all means download the Cherry Audio DCO106 demo and try it and see? https://cherryaudio.com/instruments/dco-106 It seems to be related to this in DCO106 actually. The number of voices, so happens for certain patches: When DCO tracks frozen still glitches a bit the odd time, but would need to solidly verify that. OK, I deleted the 2 incidences of the DCO from the track, glitch free ( when i say glitch I mean track while playing would crackle and/or momentarily lag, start/stop while playing with other tracks )

After much investigation I have narrowed down my issue to this. Take lanes causing Audio engine drop out. I have a small few tracks though. 2 Audio tracks with wav loops and then 2 tracks with Cherry Audio DCO-106 VSTi synth, ONE of the DCO-106 tracks has 2 take lanes with midi. If I play the track soloed, after 2 loop arounds the audio engine drops, while playing its glitching. If I delete the 2 take lanes, rest of project plays seamlessly. I have an AUDIENT EVO 4 I/F .. latest drivers and firmware. I have increased the ASIO Buffer size to 2048, still glitching but not dropping out. Its a core i5 Dell Inspiron with 16GB ram, nvidia card with own memory, 2TB Hybrid Drive. Any ideas? EDIT .. Im beginning to wonder is it a Cherry Audio issue. I just moved the track contents inc take lanes over to an Arturia 2600 V3 track, no problems here, no dropouts, no glitchy sounds. On the DCO I was using the TAKE ME ON patch. I have another DCO track using AMBIENT KEYS patch. Once I moved the errant track from the DCO to the 2600, all other tracks play fine at 512 buffer size SO maybe its the PATCH & a setting there in??

@David Grammerstorf I am encountering the same issue on my Core i5 laptop ( 16gb ram, nvidia card, 2tb hybrid drive ). My audio I/F is a new Audient EVO 4. I cannot play through a whole track without hearing distorted sounds, drop outs ( Audio Engine Dropout 18 ) even if I solo each track. Like you I have the latest updated drivers for evo, messed around with both sample rate and asio buffer sizes. No avail, same problem. I posted about this here a few weeks back, no real solution. I do reckon it seems to be under the latest CW update that this is happening. I am going to try the same vstis in Ableton and Reason now just to see if I get similar BUT I think I did that previously and it seems to be definitely particular to CW. I am using a wav bass drum audio track + 3 Cherry Audio DCO-106 synth track lines. I am now at a point that I cannot work with CW .. Actually can you downgrade CW to previous version?

I assume being modelled the Arturia is alot more editable/tweakable?

As far as I know Arturia are actual coded Synth VSTi's and not relying on samples which the Syntronik does, a rompler?
