David Baay Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 At the mixing stage, input monitoring should no longer be enabled on any audio tracks, so feedback should not be possible. But if you're using onboard sound as the audio interface, make sure the Input in the onboard mixer app is set to Line or Mic In rather than 'What U Hear' or 'Stereo Mix' which monitors and records from the output rather than the input which can lead to feedback.

Paul Bush Posted December 11, 2019 Author Share Posted December 11, 2019 Hi David , what I didnt mention was is that the Master LED would shoot upwards and register full red but with no sound this can happen arany sage recoding , playing , or mixing , do you think it could be my Behringer inteface ? cheers paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalle Rantaaho Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 And every track/bus should be routed to the master bus, which is used as the export source. Feedback problem? Never experienced such here. Internal or external? Your latter post indicates it could be in-the-box-feedback. IIRC it is possible (?). Do you have a microphone on (external mic or PC's integrated mic) picking the sound from the loudspeakers? Hard to answer without knowing more about your set up/connections and workflow.

Paul Bush Posted December 11, 2019 Author Share Posted December 11, 2019 Hi Kalle, thanks for replying , there´s no external microphone and the funy thing is I´m saying its a feedback but its the only way i can explain it. it looks like a feedback but with no sound the master goes into the red , as soon as i repush the play button or stop..... it adjusts itself and then continues to play as normal , i also have a problem using cakewalk and youtube simultaneously.....that said it does function regadrs paul B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davet Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 What audio interface are you using? This sound like a "What You Hear" issue with a built in sound card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Bush Posted December 12, 2019 Author Share Posted December 12, 2019 Hi i´m using a behringer U-Phopria Umc 240HDF , I´m begining to think there`s a problem with my computer .cheers p b Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davet Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 Humm - OK. I've seen the "feed back" thing happen with a built in sound card. Don't know anything about the interface you have. Don't know what to say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AxlBrutality Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 Are you using any plugins? Everyone is focused on the "feedback" descriptor, but that's not the only thing that causes meters to get pegged and sound to cut out. One or more of your plugs could be crashing. I had this happen just recently. Try disabling all of your plugins and see if that stops it. If so, then you need to narrow down which plugin is the culprit.

Noel Borthwick Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 Some questions. Which plugins are you using in your project? What is your audio driver mode set to in preferences / audio / playback and recording? If you want to share YouTube while playing in Cakewalk you may want to set it to wasapi shared. Which build of Cakewalk are you running? Have you installed the latest 2019.11 release? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Bush Posted December 13, 2019 Author Share Posted December 13, 2019 Hi Noel thanks I´ll give the wasapi thing a go , this is my first cakewalk project so I assume its the latest version I´ll do the updates now as i´ve just posted my first song on FC thanks for the info I´ll keep you informed PB...... p.s I have no idea what a wasapi I´ll take a look at the prefereces Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Bush Posted December 13, 2019 Author Share Posted December 13, 2019 Hi Noel ive updated , which WASAPI exclusive or shared logicaly I would go for shared but hey y`know what logica can do at times cheers pb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noel Borthwick Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 You should use shared mode if you want to hear YouTube when using Cakewalk. Also check if your interface has a native asio driver some that will give you better performance potentially Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Bush Posted December 13, 2019 Author Share Posted December 13, 2019 Hi Noel I´m using Asio at the moment and I have behringer U-Phoria UMC204HD interface once again thanks for taking the time to answer PB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Baay Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 In case it is plugin-related, you might try disabling 64-bit Double Precision Engine in Preferences > Audio > Driver Settings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Bush Posted December 13, 2019 Author Share Posted December 13, 2019 Hi noel I think that the asio is in the behringer audio interface , I feel i should point out I´m really not that pc savvy thanks PB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Baay Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 A driver is a software component that an application uses to communicate with and control hardware. Every audio interface generally comes with a driver and sometimes a software mixer that should ideally be installed before connecting the interface. The latest version is usually available on the manufacturer's website. Make sure you have the most current driver installed for the Behringer, and if you have ever installed a generic ASIO driver like ASIO4All, uninstall it.

Paul Bush Posted December 16, 2019 Author Share Posted December 16, 2019 Hi David ,Ive now switched to waspi playback so it seems to have stopped peaking at the moment so Ì`ll carry on with this set up and see what happens .. I do however think there is something wrong with my computer its new but if there`s a dodgy one outthere then It´ll always end up with me its a curse but hey it could be worse ....cheers paul B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
