Dude you fixed my Sonar Platinum! I was having unexplained audio engine dropouts for two and half weeks. A power failure while I had sonar running may have caused some settings to change a few weeks ago. I stumbled onto your cakwalk vid and just watched it.. Had no idea you would have the fix I needed! Rock-ON!
Glad I could help!
Good info for audio dropouts. Never thought to look at the number of the error good to know.
My number was 1. You, my friend, are a genius. A kind one at that. God bless you, I will have to step up that number to 256 in the morning.
Great info as always, thanks!
You are a star mate! Yet again you've resolved an issue I was having with Cakewalk. I've been trying to export a 12 audio track song as 12 separate wave files and I get the dreaded 'Audio Engine Dropout' pop-up every time at the same place (near the end of course). The code was (8) which the documentation reads - Disk full or error writing record wave files.
Make sure the disk is not read only and has sufficient free space.
Not really helpful considering I have plenty of disk space available. Anyway, I saw your video and thought I'd try the I/O buffering you suggested and - it worked!! So, again, many thanks.
Great to read it helped.
Great man! Even my native languaje is spanish but your tutorial is more easy tovunderstand and practícal too . Than kou for sharing it.
Great tutorial, I never noticed there was an error code, now I understood.
This was very helpful. Thank you!
Very Helpfull Please keep making this Cakewalk Video Tips... Thanks
thank you for your explanation and useful assistance!
My friend!!! Thank you so much!!!
upped mine from 256 to 512 and it worked like a charm, thanks so much!
Glad it helped!
I'm getting number 0 dropout and I just installed cakewalk
same bro :-(
Is the error during playback or recording or both?
I fixed it by installing asio4all
@@lakshyatyagi8813 if you have not installed asio4all try installing it
@@kamaltamang8389 really thnx dude
Thanks...this seems to have solved my issue. Increased I/O to 256 and so far, so good. Also was helpful to know what that error message number in (5) was about. Thanks!!
Good to read you solved it.
@@RecordingStudio9 You also saved me some $$ since I thought it was my older Roland Quadcapture causing this, and thought that I possibly needed to replace. There was no straight-forward info from Cakewalk/Bandlab site or any where else that I came across...before this.
Thanks man that helped a lot
I have my I/0 buffer size in there set to 2048.
I use quite a bit of sophisticated plugins that hog the pc & I’m using an i7 quad core with 8-12 gigs of ram & a two terabyte hard drive. I also have the latency buffer size set to 2048 in the software & my interface mixer.
That’s where I set it; & it’s working fantastic!
Thanks for your comment and experience with Cakewalk.
Helpful video, thanks
Great explanation. Ammount of buffer depend on audio interface speed. If its USB audio interface, then on top of that it is also limited to the maximum speed of the usb. Playing buffer games was a common thing with all audio interfaces for a long time. I have another problem in cakewalk that im trying to solve. I have recently puchasec a new audio interface and I wanted to start recording in 96khz 24bit. I changed the settings on my audio interface, I even unchecked the boxes that allow programs to modify this setting, and when I run cakewalk start a new progect it is automatically set down to 16 bit depth. And I mean come one cakewalk, how dare you steal the control of my audio interface, and there is no way to change it to 24 bit inside cakewalks audio setup because the bit depth option is grayed out and cant be changed. I have seen forum with topics from people who experienced the same issue and I have not seen anyone post anything about how to fix this.
thank u u helped me so much
Good stuff. Thanks.
Fuck yeah! Tnx mate! Worked beautifully!
Thanks for this!!!!!
SO helpful!
So much thanks. I know many people who could use this video
Nice! Thanks!
THANK YOU!
Thank you🙏
Hi there. I was mixing for one of my projects when I randomly wanted to try using the hidden 'Drum Replacer' plugin (I'm an idiot) on one of the tracks which in hindsight I shouldn't have. Cakewalk immediately crashed, and upon reopening, audio wouldn't play for some reason. I have absolutely no idea why. I can see the tracks are technically playing, and I can see the volume on the individual tracks but the master bus isn't responding. I've tried multiple things, plugging in/out my soundcard, rerouting tracks, etc, but the audio just wouldn't play. All I hear is a popping/crackling sound when I hit 'play' and 'pause'. Audio otherwise works for new projects, so not sure what really happened post the software crash that was triggered by the drum replacer. Not even sure if that was what caused it. Can you/anyone PLEASE advise because I'm absolutely lost for ideas?
Hi, am from Nigeria and i really love your content, I've been using Cakewalk for over 8yrs now, my laptop always hang when ever i am mixing with pretty much plugins running at the same time, its quite different from dropout, can you help? Thanks
This might be the most helpful video on this topic and quickly explained. Thank you!. I'm not for sure yet but i think this option only worked for me when i checked the box. Have you tried that. I have 50 track and multiple delays and filters etc. I'll update
man, I just didn't find the options because the labels are different at preset version, but I managed to increase some values, I dont know exactly but I increased some of them and now there is no glitch at all. So, thanks for your tips.
I am trying to record guitar, with gt10 pedalboard through USB, I have no external audio card, so I go USB and ASIO, I just dont know how to config ASIO and all the latency compensation and those options at the right, the ms in ASIO was in 512 I think and I put it in 1000+ because it supposedly solved glitching. After some minutes playing through cakewalk it started to glitch and all I did was restart cakewalk, but now I did somethings you said and I just kept on playing and didn't glitch again.
Hi. Thanks for sharing this info. I have one issue though. No matter what number i will enter in the Sync and Caching/playback or record I/O buffer size window it will always reset to 506 each time I launch cakewalk. Why, oh why? These audio dropouts are driving me mad!
Thanks for the info
No problem 👍
Thanks a lot!!
You're welcome!
Hi question im using asio driver on my cakewalk.. and I always get playback error on youtube everytime I used both apps.. what should i do? Thanks
Hi I'm having problem with my Midi track that gets muted. I'm using vital in that track. I have an intro pluck sound at first I load my preset in vital and I can hear it but when I stop and play again it gets muted I have no routing on this track.
What timing. I had that happen twice yesterday. I went into Windows Control Panel/ System and changed my priorities back to programs (I needed background priority a while back and changed it then) Also, set Windows up to manage my paging files.
I think that helped, but I also decided that if I needed to do other stuff online, I would save my work and close CW first and likewise close other programs when using CW. There's only so much RAM to go around after all and the OS is a RAM pig. No problems since.
Btw, I was rebooting to fix the issue. Can you restart it from the program instead?
Once you change the value and click Apply or Close, the new settings will take on and no need to restart CW.
my problem is that the vocals are now doing a radio sound at some parts messing up the vocals
i am getting the drop out(0) please help
👍 😊
My problem is that when using BANDLAB.....from my bass guitar,there r mute patches for no reason...please advise on how to fix this
Hello. I just got cake walk and when I play back what I recorded it sounds super high pitch. Would you know how to fix this? Thanks in advance =)
Thanks
When I open up the preferences the sync and catching settings aren't even there.
can anyone help me with unable to create new audio file for recording i get this on playback and recording if i click ok sometimes it then plays using Akai EIE Pro ,Intel core i7@360GHz, 32 GB ram windows 10
im getting this bad popping and crackling. this didnt happen before i added compressors and eq to my double track guitars, and changed my drum plugin, as well as adding comperssors and eq to the 2 drum tracks. i doubled my playbcak buffer to 512and it did nothing. my cpu sits at like 30% usage during playback. its a 2700x
Try disabling all and enable one at a time and see how many before it starts failing.
If you’re mixing and not recording, you can set the buffer to 2048 for best results.
Reaper, Reaper, Reaper!
I have problem currently that I cant find an answer for. I shut it down the other night and all was fine. Today I opened the project I'm working on and when it plays back it stops after a couple of seconds and then continues immediately. It does this throughout the length of the timeline and on any other project I open. Its like some thing has changed my settings. Has anyone else had this problem?
Could be Windows Update taking up CPU resources, or some other app or process running in the background. Check your usage with Windows Task Manager.
Hi Sir, I've never had problem as showed in your video but i often encountered audio dropouts in the middle of recording. So sometimes the sound goes away for like few seconds and then come back again but the recording process still running in the background. Have you ever experienced that? Or do you have any suggestion of what to do about it? Thank you
@
4MUSIC, I just asked a similar question above as I have dropouts during mixing and playback but transport keeps rolling!
When I try to open my cakewalk project it shows
"Changes will not take effect until the next time you start the program. To make them take effect now, please choose Exit from the File menu, then start the program again"
How do I fix this?
I tried exporting the tracks so that way when I imported the sound would be meshed together, meaning I would delete the track that had the VST. And it still doesn't work.
You can also freeze a track which renders the audio and disables any plugin or instrument.
When you say it still doesn’t work need more detail to help you.
Hi great channel thankyou so much. Here is my problem, my volume will decrease as I am in the middle of playing something. A line suddenly appears from the bottom of the track and from that point fades out. Even adjusting the volume controlls will not bring it back up. Please help. Thanks from Tokyo.
You may have volume automation enabled for that track. Check a few cakewalk automation videos to learn about them.
I'm a newbie at audio production but have used a Adobe Audition for simple stuff since 2007. Currently using Cakewalk and taking online classes for audio production. I'm almost done with the basic course, but have a problem with the final exercises. I'm mixing about 16 tracks and a lot have plugins of chorus/reverb/eq. Whether I play them back or try to mix down to a WAV file, I'm getting clicks, pops, static, and dropouts. The audio still plays and I don't get an official pop-up on the screen when it's happening, but I can clearly hear it, i.e., a lead vocal in the middle cuts out or a harmony vocal on the left or right cuts out with static and returns a few seconds later. I have a new HP Envy desktop I got last year on Windows 10. I've tweaked settings for my buffers and have tried to "freeze" tracks and mix down to smaller groups - still have issues. Let me know what tips you recommend so I can get the right settings and have normal function without dropouts. Thanks!
Try increasing your ASIO audio driver buffer size to above 1024.
@@RecordingStudio9 My system does not recognize ASIO. I have WASAPI - should I grab ASIO?
When I asked around - including instructors at my online audio college, they all suggested I need an audio interface since the built-in Windows drivers cannot handle audio production. I got one :-). Question for you on speaker setup as I got the Audient iD14 interface. I have Bose Companion dual speakers running into a KVM switch. How do I set up my iD14 so I can work with my Bose speakers? The connection cable for the Bose speakers is a standard 1/8" headphone cable. Do I need get anything else besides a 1/8" to 1/4" adapter? When I'm using the interface, I will mostly likely have to disconnect from the KVM switch so I can use on the interface. The Audient has ASIO drivers and there are ways within Audient where I can change the latency settings in there as opposed to Cakewalk. Before I installed Audient, I could not access ASIO drivers. Thanks.
I'm experiencing the audio dropout but I believe there source of the issue is my USB condenser mic. I am struggling to select my mic as the input and my bluetooth headphones as the output. Is there any advice that you could share on my suspicions?
On Windows, you normally can't use different audio devices for Recording and Playback.
May need ASIO4ALL driver to enable and join the two devices.
I looked at the number of the error and when I changed the buffer it didn’t work 😢😢
Why does my cakewalk say device may not be supported or may be in use with my microphone in my audio interface
Install the ASIO driver of your audio interface or ASIO4ALL driver on Windows 10.
This problem occuring in my new laptop
I’m getting number 2 dropout. Could you please help?
Will it affect the recording latency?
my issue is not a complete drop, but the speed slows down and gets distorted while recording and i had to stop recording. any help on that?
Your audio interface buffer/sample size is too small.
@@RecordingStudio9 thank you for your reply! do i adjust them at preference, audio, sync and caching, file system? i have them both at 2048, which is maximum. alao enabled read amd write caching
I am getting "A dropout has stopped the audio engine.(0)" what to do?
Make sure you have the correct and latest ASIO driver for your interface installed. (0) is usually hardware error.
can someone help? i just installed cakewalk, but this error has started from the start. plus i dont have sync and caching option at all!!!!! im confused.
The "sync and caching" option is available if you click on the "advanced" bubble seen at the bottom left hand corner at 1:43. I am also having this error from the start, but the number in the parentheses is a 0. Hope I sort of helped out.
@@benbundschuh7318 oh thanks dude! Although even after changing the buffer thing I'm still getting that error🤔
hi, my laptop speakers crackle whenever use calkwalk and it sounds like shit even if the recording is good. My laptop has amazing specifications and even when i watch youtube or movies my speaker is top notch. The problem is with bandlab
Depends if you are using ASIO drivets and what buffer settings you have set.
@@RecordingStudio9 is there anything I can do to fix this?
Install ASIO4ALL driver and select it as the audio device in Cakewalk.
@@RecordingStudio9 alright thanks dude this is really gonna help me out😊
am getting number 0 dropout and i dont know how to fix it can someone help me out
This might help to start checking www.cakewalk.com/Documentation?product=Cakewalk&language=3&help=AudioPerformance.24.html
whenever I open cakewalk it tells me i have no audio devices on this driver and i cant hear shit can u help me
Have you setup your audio device in Preferences -> Audio -> Device?
Set the correct options and restart Cakewalk.
@@RecordingStudio9 how do I do that
Most ppl that use cakewalk sonar got it for free off torrents.
Possibly, but I can show you my invoice, not only for sonar X2, but for Home Music Creator. See my videos.
Going with Studio One. So tired of the drop outs.
Did you try some of my recommendations in the video or even the help documentation?
i have a problem with cakewalk audio: i can't hear nothing. how can I solve it?
Have you selected the correct driver for your audio interface?
@@RecordingStudio9 ok now after changed the driver, i can hear the sounds thanks
@@giuseppeferrari3237 Nice to read you worked it out. :)
I can't speak English.If there is a way to solve the problem in the video, could you write a solution?
Use google translate for your language.
I need 512.
