Hi, I am new to cakewalk and am having 2 issues that perhaps someone can advise on in a very simple (I am an idiot) non jargon way please. Before I say what they are, perhaps it helps to note that I am not using an audio interface (although I am using a pair of nice Beyer dynamics into Blaster X G5 which doesn't seem to come up as a useable option in devices?) and perhaps merely getting the Audio Interface will resolve at least one of the following issues:
Firstly, importing files. I used the Preferences>VST Settings>Add>Scan route and no new files are registered, but the file is listed in the VST Scan Path box. The file is full of Bonham type Wav Audio Files (VLC) from Yurt Rock, maybe its the file type that stops them from being shown in the Plugins right hand window? Oddly, the files work when I drag and drop them in though but this brings me onto the next issue;
When I play the file in Cakewalk, they sound awful and compressed/distorted and yet when I play them direct from the file outside of Cakewalk - they sound fantastic. I wonder if this is because I am using a headphone setup rather than AI and the Driver Mode being set to WASAPI Exclusive? I did try it on WASAPI Shared too and it made no difference.
Thank you in advance, I am sorry if this has been asked a million other times and in slightly different ways. I am hoping it is an AI issue and I am due to buy one anyway when I get paid from work.
