Play and Stop delayed

[Yury]

Hi everybody. May be some of you have same problem I have.  Never had this before, but some time ago I begin noticing when i play my project delay between when I press space button of my keyboard and the time when it actually start playing . Same thing with stop.  I have pretty powerful computer (I7, 32gb memory, mv2 hard drives). Cakewalk by the band Lab does not show performants  overloading.  Project that I am talking about has 30 tracks, but it does not mean they play always at the same time . If someone knows what happened and how to deal with it, please let me know.

Sounds like latency to me.

Just as an experiment, temporarily bypass all your Fx from the Control Bar and see what it's like

Tried that. Does not help

I have had this issue happen to me from time to time. I never found a fix. Seemed to me that Cakewalk was just in a state where the keyboard input was getting delayed.
 

If you create a new project does it happen in that one?

I remember having this issue too. And there was a reason but sorry I can’t remember what it was. 
I think it was a setting that got changed by a keyboard shortcut? 
It wasn’t a plug in. Because it was global to even empty projects 

I do remember making a screen capture of it and submitting it to support. But I can’t remember if they solved the problem. It was probable scook who helped

Plugins with large lookahead buffers can cause this.
