Transport bar jerking/laging/not responsive

[david40]

Normally the transport  cursor/bar moves smoothly across the window  when playing or recording, but on this computer it jumps/jerks across the screen like the display is unable to keep up. Does anyone know what might be causing this?

Thanks

Thanks, that's a big improvement. Still a bit rough but at least it's not jumping around. I am starting to think I might need a better video card to get the best visual experience with this program.

Or maybe just update the drivers.

What video card do you currently have?

What are your other system specs

[david40]

I have learned I am using all the latest drivers.

Sys:

Win 7 Pro 64 bit
Intel i5 3330 3.0 GHz
4 GB RAM

That video card comes up with literally zero hits on Google - What does MSinfo32 say under System Summery | Components | Display

Start + run msinfo32

Also your 4 gig ram might get a bit tight - depending on what you're doing....

What version of Cakewalk?

[david40]

I had a hard time finding it too so I had to contact MSI to find the product and support for it.

I am using the lasted version of Cakewalk, with very basic multi-tracking of instruments and vocals.

I was able to find that card - maybe an upgrade may be in order.  Are you able to borrow one?

Just to confirm - by Cakewalk , are you meaning CbB?

[david40]

Yes, Bandlab.

I'll need to see if I can find another card, and also another 4GB of RAM

What is really funny is I occasionally use SONAR 5 on an old machine running Windows XP 32 bit and the transport bar is smooth as silk.
Newer isn't always better.
