gstring Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 I'm running Cakewalk Bandlab. My audio interface (NI Komplete Audio 2) is set at 24-bit 48KHz sample rate, but all audio records in CBL at 16-bit depth, yet when I record in Studio Lab or Project 5, the audio always records at 24-bit depth. The Audio Driver Bit Depth setting is grayed out in CBL Audio Driver Settings so I can't make any change there to the setting, but it displays as being 24. I'm using NI's ASIO drivers. Native Instrument's Komplete Audio Control Panel allows me to set the buffer size and sample rate, but there is nothing to set the bit depth. Windows 10 Sound Control panel has the interface set to play and record at 24-bit 48 KHz. I've tried deleting the aud.ini file and resetting to default values, but to no avail. This problem has only developed recently; when I open older projects, I see that all audio files are 24-bit. I'm stumped. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many ASIO drivers work at one bit depth. Most often 24 bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gstring Posted April 21, 2020 Author Share Posted April 21, 2020 My audio interface does record at 24-bit depth in other DAWs, but my tracks in CBL are being recorded at 16-bit depth. This is my problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scook Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 Understood, as the link above mentions, projects record using the record bit depth setting NOT the audio driver bit depth setting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gstring Posted April 22, 2020 Author Share Posted April 22, 2020 The Audio Driver Bit Depth setting displays 24, but my recorded tracks are 16-bit resolution in CBL. I get 24-bit recordings in all other programs with the same audio interface. I've tried 3 different audio interfaces now with the same result. The problem seems to be in CBL.

scook Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 No amount of changing audio drivers or interfaces is going to matter. If you have not changed the Record Bit Depth don't expect the program to record at a different bit depth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gstring Posted April 22, 2020 Author Share Posted April 22, 2020 Thank you so much scook. I finally found that setting in your link, and indeed the record bit depth was somehow set to 16. I changed it to 24 and now all is good. You da man!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
