All plugins sound delayed [SOLVED]

[lapasoa]

After dowloading the last update 11/2021, suddenly when I play my plugins they all sound delayed. Help.

By plug ins do you mean VST instruments? 
Are they now out of sync with the audio tracks? 
 

[lapasoa]

Yes. When I play a vst piano the sound is delayed. It's not out of sync of audio track. When I play a vst instrument the sound is delayed.

Check you audio preferences.

Verify the driver mode and mixing latency settings.

[John Vere]

OK that is what we call midi delay which is normally caused by having certain plug ins in a project. Bypass your effects and see if it goes away. 

Midi itself has negligible latency but the midi is triggering a VST soft synth which is audio. The audio output of your DAW is then delayed by system latency before you hear the instrument. Adding certain effects increases the system latency. 

[scook]

Yes, it could be plug-in delay compensation.

Either way, it has nothing to do with updating CbB.

If this is the case, the FX button in the mix module will bypass all plug-ins in the project.

If the delay goes away, one or more plug-ins in any FX rack or ProChannel are the cause.

The PDC button in the mix module may help in this case.

Incredible. This morning I turned on my CbB,  Attempted to play Dpro bass and everything was OK.

Attempted with Dpro piano and everything was OK.

Attempted with electric guitar with Overloud Amp Sim and  everything  is OK.

I can hardly believe it, but it is true.

Can imagine what was wrong before.

Possibly your computer was busy updating or running something that was using a lot of resources. 
Its my first move if I’m having weird issues. Disable internet

Cakewalk can't accommodate every mood our computers get into. Sometimes a reboot is just needed and you move on.

This is very true for me. I’m not very happy with my Motu M4. It’s driver doesn’t seem to share very well.  As a result I’m getting recordings that have that garbled sound from time to time. I have to completely re boot to get rid of it. 

[Terry Kelley]

That's why I don't report every single issue. I might toss out some observation (hey, anybody else notice this?) but just because it went goofy on me doesn't mean it's definitely Cakewalk. I just close the program, reboot or maybe change a setting and see what happens. More often than not the issue goes away or disappears until what ever combinations of things I did make it reappear.  If I can narrow it down, then I might bring it up directly with the developers. Sometimes I actually find something but more often - I haven't.

Real bugs will generally be reported by people with a diverse set of hardware/OS. At that point the developers jump on it.

I'm glad I held off buying a new interface as MOTU M4 was at the top of my list. Wish I had extra $$ to just buy the RME Babyface Pro and be done.

[John Vere]

I’m in the process of selling stuff I don’t need anymore to buy exactly that interface. I think Motu is Good for Mac’s.

First thing I do when things go weird is close CbB and then turn my interface off and back on. In the rare instance things are still weird I reboot.

I did not notice , but now I remeber, that every thing in CbB was delayed. Opening a project, copy and paste, ripple edit, save as.

Now everything  worked fine again. However what happened to me have been somewhat strange.

This is a sure sign of DPC latency due to other process hogging resources. 
The minute this happens again, open task manager and see what is at the top of the CPU list. 
I will also fire up Latency Monitor and see what it is saying.
