r/Cakewalk

Okay so; I’ve been ripping out my hair trying to figure out why; every time I seek out answers to this I just get “ oh it’s because you gotta change your driver mode because you don’t have an audio interface “ however; I’ve tried that; I’ve done everything I’ve been told to do and still it won’t let me turn down the volume; it’ll let me turn down the master volume; but when I turn down my laptop volume it does absolutely nothing and it stays at the same ear piercing level; the most confusing thing is that it was working perfectly fine the other day; and it’s only having this issue now; so what should I do?

Major edit here!; I just switched the microphone I was using and now it’s working again; it’s specifically not letting me use my volume when I plug in my Shuresm57

hi everyone I am trying to record my casio wk 6600 on cake walk, I using a A to B cable and making a a new grand piano track and recordong the midi on itbut the sound feels so dull compared to my keyboard is there any setting i can change or something else to get similar sound to my keyboard??

I'm having some issues with the piano roll:

- Recording: After recording, I notice double or even triple notes even though I only pressed the button once. They're slightly offset.

- New Track: When I create a new track with a virtual instrument, even if I use a different virtual instrument than the one already in use, the recording adds all the existing notes from the other MIDI tracks. The MIDI score adds all the notes, even those present after the recording has finished.

- I have several tracks with the same instrument, but with different MIDI scores. The new track has the sound detected by the VU meter, but it doesn't play.

Does anyone know how to solve these problems? Thanks in advance :)

So I spent the last 6 hours making a song. I started making music like 2 weeks ago, so I'm not very good, but this song specifically. I was SO proud of. It sounded so good. I didn't take any breaks, was just intrigued the entire time. This has never happened to me before. I usually get bored after an hour.

Point being. The app randomly gave me an error, and crashed. I looked at the crash report, but there wasn't anything useful.

I didn't save my song, because it wasn't done yet.
Now I can't find my song. Anywhere.

I'm very sad right now. I suck at everything so for once, it felt like I was actually doing something meaningful

If anyone could help, that would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, so im about to do my first solo gig ever,

what's your experience with cakewalk in a live setting for effects and backing tracks?

Any tips and trick would be greatly appreciated.

My planned set up is:

-Allen and heath ZEDi8 2x2 usb mixer

-for guitar either Boss katana 50 mk2 through Line out OR amp sims in-daw

-Vocals SM58 to mixer to daw eq compression and reverb.

-Backing vocals and drums pre-processed and added as audio to the daw

for the record this is not bc i want to hide my voice, its not even rly my voice, i just want to take something cool and see what happens when i stick it in a trans-dimensional blender. and then make music from that. i got vocalsynth 2 and that was fun so like something along that line maybe.

I have a Scarlett i2i 3rd gen and I use sonar. When I play guitar using ASIO driver mode, there's lag and crackling. So I use WASAPI, which has less lag and no crackling. But isn't there a way to eliminate the lag completely?

Also, there are times when no sound is detected by the VU meter, even though my audio input and output are correct, and the sound card is receiving the sound, because the light ring activates when I play the instrument. Do you know what could be causing this? I uninstalled Cakewalk and the sound card itself, and the problem was solved. However, it persists and keeps coming back.

Hello! I have looked EVERYWHERE to try and find an answer but just can't. I was wondering how I can set MULTIPLE time signatures in a song in Calkwalk Next. If anyone has answers... please reply... Thanks!

I have a Focusrite Scarlett i2i to which I connect an electric guitar.

In the preferences, under audio, in driver settings, the "ASIO4ALL v2 not connected 1" option is automatically selected. I tried selecting "Focusrite USB ASIO Input 1," but the previous option re-selects itself automatically.
Changing the buffer size in the driver settings has no effect on latency. And when I click on "ASIO interface..." changing the sample rate doesn't make any difference. It doesn't open the window I'm used to, especially in Reaper.

Also, during the echo, I only hear one side in my headphones.

Could someone please help me?

Pretty much the title. I wanted to buy Walker 2 by UVI but I don't know if they work with Cakewalk Sonar.
