Vegas movie studio platinum seems to cause audio glitches in CbB

[gmp]

I installed Vegas movie studio platinum 13.0 on my Win 11 computer and I started getting little short duration glitches or pops in CbB. I uninstalled it and it went away. Has anyone had a similar experience and know how to have them live ok on the same computer? Of course Vegas was closed when using CbB

My guess would be that Magix generic audio driver was involved. 
I ran version 13 for years without issues other than that version crashing a lot. 
 

Re install MM 13  and then open the RegEdit app and go to Software ASIO and look for the Magix driver. Delete it. It is a well documented problem.

Very good, because i'll need to reinstall it. So I now know what to do

thanks

Anytime you install software from Magix or Steinberg you end up with their Generic ASIO drivers which only seem to cause problems with Cakewalk/ Sonar. Other Daw’s ignore them. 
 

For some reason they take over the Latency adjustment in Sync and Caching. It just a Sonar bug.

I reinstalled Movie Studio, but don't see any ASIO it installed under Regedit. I'm using WIN 11.  

I looked under

HKLM>Software>ASIO
HKLM >Software>WOW6432Node>ASIO

 I searched my registry for every instance of ASIO and it took a while but I didn't find anything except my soft synths and MOTU AVB music interface which uses ASIO.  Does anyone know where the registry key is to remove?

My audio interface is a MOTU AVB Ultralite it has midi and audio and definitely uses Asio. I wonder if the fix is to uninstall and reinstall my MOTU?

[John Vere]

That was the correct place  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ASIO

 

So that wasn't the problem

So John, I think you said you installed Vegas Movie Studio Platinum 13.0 also, like I did, and had some audio glitches and did find an Asio registry entry in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ASIO. In my setup the only thing under ASIO in my registry is a Motu folder.  If this is what happened to you, I wonder if it's because I have Motu Avb Ultralite as my audio/midi interface, which uses Asio. Unless someone else has any other ideas, I'll uninstall and reinstall my MOTU in case Vegas altered something with Asio. Also I may even try reinstalling Vegas to see if there's a custom install where I can deselect Asio.

I have used both Vegas and Cakewalk together for at least 6 years now. 
I was making tutorials so I needed to run Cakewalk in ASIO mode. At first I was using a Focusrite interface and I couldn’t figure out how to do this. The solution was I bought the Motu M4 which had loopback so I could do screen capture etc and stay in ASIO mode.  
The other important thing I found was set everything in my audio system to use 48 clock rate. 
Windows, Daw’s and Vegas. All set to 48. 

OBS studio and Vegas allows you to use ASIO and set your interface as default audio device. You need to go into settings/ preferences and select this. 
 

I have never had issues with using that set up. 
 

But I had quickly upgraded to Vegas pro studio from Movie Maker way back when because of way too many issues with Movie Maker. Crashes and freezing up all the time. Vegas seems rock solid. I was lucky and got it cheap as an upgrade. Not sure what the deal is now. 
 

There’s also Devinci Resolve free. But I prefer Vegas because it uses the DX plug-in’s like the Sonitus compressor. I also like the way I can open the audio in Sony Sound forge. 
 

The comment about the Magix ASIO driver is typically it gets installed with the software. I think not with the Video editor but with Sound Forge or the Music Maker software. 

If you open Preferences/ Audio/ Sync and Caching and your Motu shows as the default device for latency you are good to go.
