EDIT 2020, Mar 8. The setting changes below seem to be working. If you're having the same problem and reading this, see if these changes help you.
I'd like to add my name to the list of those complaining about dropouts after recent cakewalk updates. I can take a cwp file and play it flawlessly over and over again in Sonar X3e. The same project hiccups, stutters and stops in Cakewalk Bandlab.
When it happens, I notice that all 12 cores (my cpu has 6 cores that can handle 2 threads each) seem to max out for a second on the performance monitor.
Flattening multiple takes and rendering Melodyne clips seems to help, but only modestly.
I did the following:
- raised my DropoutMSec from 250 to 750, but the immediate result was stuttering rather than dropping out entirely.
- raised ExtraPluginBufs to 4 (is there any negative consequence to this?).
- raised ThreadSchedulingModel from 0 to 2. I noticed that Buffers In Playback Queue (Preferences==>Audio==>Driver Settings) is stuck at 2; I can't raise that value.
- raised my buffer size to 2048,
- checked the Safe Mode box under Preferences==>Audio==>Driver Settings==>ASIO Panel
- I also changed Preferences==>Midi==>Playback & recording==>Playback==>Prepare Using ___ Ms Buffers to 500.
I ran the last two Cakewalk updates pretty close together, so I can't say if it was the most recent update or the prior one. I updated my Beheringer X32r driver to the most recent (4.59) and I'm running CWB 2020.01, build 28.
I also should mention that I removed a Session Drummer soft synth in an effort to clean up the project. I don't know if it helped or not as (unfortunately) I didn't try my experiments one-at-a-time.
