mefodia Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 Problem solved. I recently installed the Dorico (Steinberg) program, and the "Steinberg Built-in ASIO Driver" was installed with it. I managed to enter the settings and it turned out, that Cakewalk automatically picked it up, and the Yamaha ASIO Driver disappeared from it. In the Windows Control Panel I simply uninstalled the driver and everything fell into place. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Carr Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 Not sure if it's specific to 2024.02, but is related to activation which has changed a lot recently. I use cakewalk in a space without internet, and I missed the activation period by a few days. Being non activated, saving was disabled as expected, but what I also found that the GUI would freeze every so often for a few seconds at a time - coinciding with the red activation toast message being displayed. I suspect that the app is trying to call home even though there is no internet connection - and the GUI thread is being blocked while this happens (audio playback was not stopped). Bit of an edge case, but perhaps the activation check could be moved off the GUI thread, or the checking limited to only when the app is opened / trying to save a project - rather than repeatedly during normal use.

User 905133 Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 (edited) FWIW, I still log into CbB several times a week (might miss a week here or there), and today I got the toaster that saving is disabled until I reactivate Cakewalk. I have 2024.02 build 098. The help menu gives me an option to log out from Bandlab. Check for updates says I have the current version. I have options to use offline activation, but I don't generally use that. Help > About also says "Please sign into your Bandlab account to activate Cakewalk. I seem to recall others have had this issue (being logged in yet having to log in to reactivate). Did anyone solve it? Are we supposed to log out and then log back into the Bandlab account?** If anyone did that recently, does it work to reactivate CbB? Thanks. **UPDATE: I took a chance, logged out of Bandlab from within CbB, looked up the user name and password, rebooted CbB (might not have been necessary to close/reopen CbB), and logged into Bandlab starting from within CbB. That worked for me. Edited April 24 by User 905133 to add an update [solution that worked for me] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elena Kolpakova Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 Hey, looks like I'm having weird GUI performance issues. It looks similar to the PAUSE mode, but is less pronounced. During playback the cursor moves, then halts, and then jumps. Same story with Now time indicators, etc. In fact, it's the entire GUI that becomes unresponsive for a moment every other second, e.g. I click a button and only see the visual response later. I have the latest NVIDIA Studio drivers 552.22 on Windows 11 Pro 23H2 (22631.3447) and do not observe any other issues in the system. 2024-05-01 12-38-03.mp4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this chronic or just started happening in a session what was previously running smoothly? And audio is smooth and continuous? Even if it is I would suggest power-cycling your interface or re-booting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if it is I would suggest power-cycling your interface or re-booting. it came with 2024.02, happens in all projects, doesn't affect the audio much, but you can tell one core is loaded even in an empty project, likely by the graphics, and this can eventually cause dropouts. Wish I could roll back to the previous version. anyways, I thought Cakewalk Sonar is not yet available, as unlike CbB or Next it's not listed in the Cakewalk Product Center, but turns out it's actually downloadable from the website, just needed to scroll down. and since in Sonar it's not reproducible, I'm fine for now.

If you haven't resolved it yet I hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glenn Stanton Posted July 2 Share Posted July 2 (edited) did you set any optimizations for it? one is to exlude it from the A/V and any cloud services which can greatly impact performance. also the IO of the desktop is likely way better than the laptop... also check your video settings etc. Edited July 2 by Glenn Stanton 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
