Accidentally recording all notes twice

[Caroline]

Hi! I'm new to Cakewalk so I'm still learning the basics. Sometimes when I record a MIDI track all notes are registered twice. There must be an option to fix this, but I can't seem to find it. I provided a screenshot so that you can see what I mean by doubled notes.

This is most likely due to you have a midi loopback happening. The VST instrument is set to output midi data. You can disable that in the VST setting,  but the best way is to go into Preferences/ Midi/ Devices and uncheck all outputs. 

It's a good idea to give us more information about your set up for trouble shooting so I'm having to assume your using a USB keyboard controller.

Also, you can clean the duplicate midi notes by using my Undupe2.cal script: http://forum.cakewalk.com/Deprecated-quotUNDUPECALquot-Bug-I-created-a-revised-version-m3779958.aspx

How are you recording notes when this happens?  Mouse clicks? Using a soft synth? Using a virtual controller? With an external MIDI/usb controller? etc.

Also,  what Inputs do you have selected for the specific track you are recording on when this happens?

Thank you, this seemed to solve it!

I'm sorry I didn't provide more information, I wasn't sure what's important to know.

Glad you got it sorted. 

As for information,  the more details the faster the solution. Otherwise you see what happens is like user 905133 more questions.
