      @@Thatmfturtle1 it might be an issue with latency. Are you using Asio drivers? Be sure to to put the latency more in a safe zone. This may fix the any weird noises you here on your mic.
      Try testing out something different like an instrument or keyboard. See if you are getting the same sound.

    Hi, i need your assistance please. This is in regards to Cakewalk the free version. My issue is: I am trying to get the software to recognize my YAMAHA PSR 36. I t does have midi in and out at the back. Another thing that i have realized is that: in Cakewalk, in Preferences, Audio-Devices-Input Drivers its empty. Then below that at Output, the box is checked and it say Speakers (Realtek High Def...)
    At Preferances - MIDI the above is the same only differance is Output which has Microsoft GS Wavetable Synth. Please assist me.

    • @JustDaNorm
      @JustDaNorm  Рік тому

      Hey Hlase. I’m sorry for the late reply.
      For your Yamaha PSR you will have to download and install the drivers for it first. This will allow it to be accessible in Cakewalk Midi settings.
      usa.yamaha.com/products/musical_instruments/keyboards/portable_keyboards/psr-e363/downloads.html
      This might be your keyboard. If not you can find the driver on Yamaha website
      For your audio settings. If you are not using any audio interface then I would set the driver settings to mme , wdm or wasapi. You should see Realtek for output since you have no other device available.
      If you do have an interface then you will need to install the drivers for them also.
      Let me know if this helps. All the best!

How can I solve this issue?

      Good question. Have you disabled your record button. If it’s still enabled you won’t see the meter until you disable it.
      If you still have trouble. Save your project, exit and reopen. Hopefully that fixes the issue.

    • @JustDaNorm
      @JustDaNorm  2 роки тому

      Hey Frank. I hope all is well. I'm sorry you are having trouble recording your guitar. I may have a few options/solutions for your.
      First have you tried bypassing the amp and sm57 and going direct into the interface. I would start here to see if your guitar still sounds compressed.
      Second when you record using the mic on amp are you overdriving the signal or is the signal peaking? Have you tried place the mic in a different place in front of amp? Have you tried using a different mic to see if that solves the problem.
      Third, how does your memory look. Is your memory resources being used to the extreme.
      Let me know if any of this helps. If not I'd like to help you solve this problem. If you could email me a export of what you recorded so I can hear what you hear that would help me help you better. Email me at justdanormllc@gmail.com

      @@wordsfromrj glad you at least got it to record.
      The nexr step is to adjust the latency in Cakewalk. Make sure it is in the middle or closer to safe. This will free up cpu and memory which may be causing pops. For distortion make sure that your gain is not too hot when recording. I would start at 🕛 12oclock then boost as needed. There is also an instrument switch on your interfaces make sure it is up and not pressed down.
      Keep trying to record and see if it’s gets better. I don’t have that particular interface but I will continue to help get the problem resolved.

      Hey Dakota. hmm never encountered this before, but i would check your Cakewalk activation. Make sure you have Bandlab Assistant installed. You can open it then right click to refresh activation on Cakewalk by Bandlab.

      Sorry to hear that. Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling it? Might be a glitch

    on my cakewalk it appears (unable to open audio record device, device may not support the current project's audio format or may be in use) how can I fix it?

      Are you using an audio interface? I would check to make sure that the sample rate and bit rate match (44.1 vs 48 khz) Also make sure you interface is on first before you boot Cakewalk.
