by track playback it slows down

[dogufo]

 I am a kbd player; I´ve got a vintage synth Yamaha SY77 and a muted weighted kbd Fatar 88; both connected USB via MIDI interface Midisport 4x4 with notebook acer aspire (OS win 7 pro 64 bit) to DAW software bandlab cakewalk v. 2024.7 build 108;

I don´t know if I´ve posted my question in the right place: by track playback, it slows down, freezes and play. It did not happen with the previous versions of cw. Other functions seem to work fine. Could it be that the win7 is too old to support the latest version of CW? Or is it an issue of setting of memory, or the processor?

SOLVED - weird because the setting of playback buffer was 850 milliseconds, then I set to 10 and it worked!

HI 

When you say it is solved, coudl you be more specific about the buffer size ?
A screenshot of your cakewalk configuration would be very appreciated.

I actually exprience issues with midi syncrhonization between sy77 and any audio/midi soundcard or just a dedicated midi card (midisport 2X2 usb for example)
The problem occurs when I want to use synchro to record midi or audio from a song made with the sy77 sequencer to my main DAW (cakewalk)
Problem occurs in both direction  : sy77 as slave and computer/audio card as master - and vice versa.

During the recording process the tempo slighly shift a very little bit (by ear it starts at around the mid 5 minues song) - not a big shift at all, but annoying enough to work on the project.

If anybody has any idea to fix this kind of problem of timing drifts, thx a lot

I think you are saying that you are trying to sync a hardware sequencer to your Daw? 
 

This should not be a problem as I have done this with my Roland drum machine before but it’s been a long time. 
 

If memory serves me I would set the drum machine as midi sync. 
What I’m not sure of is what exactly I set up in Cakewalk. But it worked and the midi data was recorded into Cakewalk in perfect sync with the timeline. 
The audio could also be recorded however I have always had an audio interface.
Using a computer audio system will mostly certainly be out of sync. It might be close but you really need ASIO for recording audio. ASIO is only available for audio interfaces. This video will help you shop if you decide to get serious about recording.
