r/Cakewalk

can someone recommend me a plugin that can take normal ish vocals and turn it into something just so strange and different. i want to theseus's ship some shit

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.

My sound card is detected as an input by the software, but it doesn't detect any sound.

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.

Custom time signatures.

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 installed Cakewalk Next a few days ago to whip up some music.

There is an acknowledged issue where, if you zoom in too close in the piano roll, the view can jump to a different note range while you’re still editing the notes you originally zoomed into.

A fix has apparently been confirmed for a future update, so while waiting I’m asking how people are working around it in the meantime.

At the moment, the only workaround I can see is staying zoomed out enough to avoid triggering the bug, but that gets eye-straining pretty quickly when doing detailed MIDI editing.

I like Next overall but this bug makes proper composition impossible. I’m trying to find a sane workflow until the fix comes around, which could be months away.

Problems with Asio.

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?

Im a new user of Cakewalk, and lots of times I do not make my own beats, and it is all in one singular audio track. If anyone could help me out or send me some youtube tutorial it would be very helpful.

im very very much of a begginer into it, still learning how to work on cakewalk. i bought an interface, teyun q24 (i couldnt afford a more expensive one for now, its absurdely expensive in my country) and im not being able to connect properly into the DAW (i guess...?)

when i connect my guitar in the interface, i can hear it clearly, but the sound indicator on the platform shows nothing. can someone please help me with it?

Sto usando una batteria elettronica come controller MIDI collegata al computer tramite USB/MIDI. All’inizio il software (cakewalk next) riceve correttamente i segnali, ma dopo un tempo variabile smette di ricevere le note: i colpi sui pad non generano più eventi MIDI, anche se la batteria resta accesa e collegata. L’unico modo per farla riprendere è riavviare il software, a volte più volte.
