Hello again. Well, recording's going good but when I get to mixing my 8 tracks (all audio) it's a nightmare for me. My automation seems screwed up. Faders sometimes move on their own even with no automation or snapshot ever even set. Example. New song : I play back the first 3 tracks I make (drum, bass,acoust gtr). Well... The fader on track 3 acts abnormal and will move up and down on it's own! Now, I have not at this point set ANY automation buttons, snapshot, update or anything so there seems to be no reason for this erratic fader behavior. As far as I'm concerned , since no automation or snapshot or update buttons have been clicked on, the faders should stay put. But this is not the case. Tech. Support sent me 2 kinds of .CAL files (select and all track wipe) but I get an error msg when I try it and Tech. don't seem to help me past this. I'm so frustrated that I'm about to buy a hardware mixer except I only have 4 outs in my D44 suondcard. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Except for this, My cakewalk gives me an incredible CDR sound.
