I have two glitches I want to iron out, one relating directly to Cakewalk, so I thought I'd post here:
I own Cakewalk Home Studio 2002 and I just bought the SB Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro. Now, I've read the posts where people say Audigy is a poor card for home recording, but I use my card for DVD playback and gaming as well, so I'm more interested in resolving the problems with the Audigy rather than avoiding them, and I don't feel like these will be too hard to fix.
The problem with Cakewalk is that the playback on audio files has cracks and pops and sounds shaky, though if I export that same audio file and play it back through another program, say Windows Media Player, it sounds beautiful. Do I have some audio settings wrong in Cakewalk, or is this a driver issue? Any help is wonderful.
My second problem involves the communication between my keyboard and the Audigy sound card. I own a Roland XP-60 keyboard that I use for recording and as a MIDI sound bank. I have the Audigy MIDI I/O set as the preferred MIDI playback device under the Control Panel settings, however, there is no sound when I play a midi file, whether it is through Cakewalk or WMP or other. Now, the baffling part is that there is indeed sound if I play on the keys directly. So, it appears that the cables are hooked up right and the card and the keyboard are communicating, but just not during file playback. What is wrong here? By the way, in Cakewalk under MIDI devices, I have the Audigy MIDI I/O selected. I didn't have these problems with my old SB Live card.
Thanks for your feedback in advance.
