freddie_tane Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 Start Recording on 1 armed track, immediately get a Loud Pop, The Output Meters are Pinned and the Transport is rolling but Recording didn't start! Press stop, the meters are still pinned and when I turn up the speaker system, there is some unusual signal present like a very low frequency and noise. Press play, sometimes the signal will stop. Sometimes not, so have to exit Cakewalk. Going to check these areas, but any other suggestions greatly appreciated: reinstall of soundcard (Behringer x32) drivers Latency/Buffer settings too low in CW Will look at removing some PC system level optimizations from Windows 10. Though the problem pre-existed, have just upgraded to Windows 11 , so may check these areas again: Control Panel: disable system sounds // Sound Panel - Sounds to "No Sounds" Power Options // = High Performance setting // display off = never // sleep == never System // ADvanced System Settings // Performance / Settings / Advanced tab / choose Background Services Adjust USB Suspend Settings // Parts 1 & 2: Part 1: Power Options // Change Plan Settings / Change Advanced Power settings / USB Settings / "Disabled" Part 2: Device Manager // USB Bus Controllers / on each, Pwer mgmt make sure the "Allow computer to turn off" is NOT CHECKED Disable background processes Settings / Privacy / Background Apps / Turn off un-wanted/un-needed Update Process Priority and CPU Affinity for Windows Audio Control Service Probably others, but again, any ideas on where to check would be appreciated.

John Vere Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 (edited) All sample rates are set the same in Behringer control panel, cakewalk and windows sound settings? Cakewalk set to use ASIO? Edited February 6 by John Vere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Arwood Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 I have had this several times. It had to do with plugins. Several were on my master bus. There was several different plug-in combinations that would work and several combinations that did the pop - meters pegged - no sound. Try disabling some plug-ins. Sorry I can’t remember the combinations. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reginaldStjohn Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 I have had this as well with plugins. For me it was pro-channel modules. try bypassing all effects and then re-enable them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Arwood Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 I don’t use pro-channel. If I remember, ozone, Sonible, and more. The CPU was very high as well. When I turned off enough plugins to lower the cpu, the sound popped back on, after a pause and restarting the song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddie_tane Posted February 7 Author Share Posted February 7 Great advice, much appreciated -- have a couple hours "free" tonite to try your suggestions and will let you know! Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddie_tane Posted February 7 Author Share Posted February 7 Wow, that was a fast proof that plugins on Master, Drum and Vocals busses were the culprit! Note to self: During tracking, don't need all the plug-ins that would be used for mixing/mastering ! Thanks again CW forum folks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Arwood Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 Just curious - We’re you able to figure out a plug-in, multi plugins, just total cpu? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
