Time counter and playhead cursor jerky

[Vincent Séjourné]

Hello,

i am a new user of Cakewalk and i like it, but there is one thing that bothers me a little, maybe i am not alone in this case.

when i play or record something, i noticed that the time counter and the playhead cursor are not smooth but jerky, is there something to modify in the preferences to get them smooth?

In preferences, i tried ASIO, WASAPI and MME but nothing changed. 

 

Here is my PC configuration:

CPU : Intel Core i7-6700K

MEMORY : 32 GB

SOUNDCARD : Realtek High Definition Audio

 

Thank you for your help

@Scook

Thank you for the link

but when i press the Pause key on my keyboard, it's worse, like 1 frame (update) per seconde, if i press the key again it back to normal.

Ok, i have got the answer, this problem is only present in Cakewalk by Bandlab, the previous versions of Sonar doesn't have this problem, today i tried Sonar X3 and it runs smoothly as it should. 

So i think the problem come from the source code of the software, i hope this will be fixed soon. 

Cheers!

Check for config differences between X3 and CbB such as the UseHardwareSamplePosition setting in Aud.ini

Interestingly, when right-clicking in the arrangement window (and only there), and a context menu appears, the playhead becomes (very) smooth instantly. Can you Bandlab people investigate that?
