Cakewalk - Audio stops then starts intermittently


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

UPDATE - SOLVED!!

I found the issue was the plug-in "ASIO Link Pro Tool" - which I had started using because - 

https://www.reddit.com/r/Cakewalk/comments/1lrvllc/cakewalk_two_keyboards_obs_studio_not_detecting/

However today I found uninstalling "ASIO Link Pro Tool" cured the intermittent drop-outs I was experiencing in Cakewalk

I googled - and found I wasn't the only one who had that issue -

I did NOT try the patch that fixes it - but am including the links for anyone who might need them -

However after fiddling with both Cakewalk AND OBS Studio - I managed to find a way to NOT use "ASIO Link Pro Tool" - and get OBS Studio to detect both of my keyboards (refer to my OP below ++++++++ for the chain of hardware) -

Cakewalk - 

EDIT - PREFERENCES  - PLAYBACK AND RECORDING - change "ASIO" to "WASAPI SHARED"

OBS Studio -

A)   For the Midi controller controlling the Behringer Pro 800 synth - with their output from the Fender guitar amp - create an AUDIO INPUT CAPTURE with the source "Device" being the Guitar amp

NOTE - my USB Audio interface needs to be switched on for the above trio to work together - although none of them need to be plugged into it

 

B)   For the Yamaha keyboard controlling the VST plug-ins in Cakewalk - go to SETTINGS - AUDIO - and for "Desktop Audio" choose the Yamaha keyboard

The issue -

My set-up -

 

A)   M-Audio midi controller (Oxygen Pro Mini) controls my Behringer Pro 800 synthesizer - both connected via USB to my PC - and the Pro 800 synth is connected to my Fender Mustang GT-40 guitar amp - no issues on Cakewalk with those three working together nicely

- it is the top-most track "MIDI" in the video link

 

B)   My Yamaha PSR EW-425 Arranger keyboard controls the other instruments

 

- i.e. Kontakt "Komplete Kontrol"

"Synth 1 Librarian" x 2

"RT 7070" Drum machine (which is a lovely free substitute for the Roland 707 Drum machine I found today)

 

For some reason - on Cakewalk the Audio as you will hear in the video cuts out for a few seconds every so often

(I've only activated the Drums here to make it easier to hear the Audio drops - but the same issue is with the instruments in "Komplete Kontrol" / and the Tones in "Synth 1")

 

I've googled for various fixes - none of which cure it

 

Also - I am using the "ASIO Link Pro Tool" as the ASIO driver - as without that "OBS Studio" doesn't detect the Audio from my Yamaha keyboard - and Cakewalk doesn't like "ASIO4ALL"

 

Any clues as to what might be causing that intermittent drop of Audio - and how to fix it?

 

Note - I am NOT using my M-Audio "M-Track Duo" USB Audio interface - as having that switched on causes Popping and Stuttering in "OBS Studio" recordings

- so the Yamaha having its own ASIO Soundcard and Speakers is effectively the Audio interface

 

Many thanks
