Can't help in the technical sense, just passing on that I had an earlier Lexicon card and it really didn't work well with Cake. Lex and Cake said they had not heard there was a conflict, but I could never get them to work correctly. As I am a Cake fan, I change cards and bingo!! (although the tech support folks at Lex were wonderful to work with)

if you open the song in another app?
you say that you haven't changed your setup, but have you installed anything that may have stomped on your old DLL files? DLL (dynamic load library) files enables programs to be smaller by using common library files. problem is, if these files get written over you could end up with a newer or older version of the file that doesn't quite fit.
i'm only bringing this up since you said that the program was working correctly.
try re-installing cakewalk, and getting the latest directX version from microsoft.

rjt.. I had problems with Lexicon card also and returned it immediately...at the the time you could not run Wavepipe with it..
bh..what kind of files are you trying to run? you mentioned Music match..are you attempting toplay mp3,s?
I,m not sure but I dont believe Cake 9 can play mp3,s
It can encode and export..not sure about playback.
Anyone care to clarify this one?

Well, that's what I've been told (if that helps any).elbenj said:
Also, what Lex card are you guys talking about that wouldn't work with WC or is it just Lex cards in general won't work with WC? I was thinking about getting the Lex Core 2 card for now (I'm sick and tired of only having only one input), so is this a bad idea? If so, what other inexpensive cards can I get that will work with CW? (prefferably one with four inputs, but two will work I guess)

Tekker,
I was referring to the Lexicon Core 2 card. That was a while ago and they may have corrected some of the compatability issues but I didnt waste anytime. If I had to get a card today I would give the Aardvark Direct Pro a real good look. I am running the Motu 2408 at the present. Prior to that I had the Midiman 2044 which I liked but it was limited to 44.1k 16 bit audio.
BH it sounds like its something to do with the recorded music from Music match. What is the sampling rate and bit depth of the audio recorded in Music Match? When you initially posted the question my first thought was a timing issue. Reconfirm your playback master is set to the Lexicon card. Are you running a soundblaster sound card also? If so, try making it the playback master. Also try rerunning the wave profiler.
Are you able to hear audio in your previously recorded material composed in Cakewalk?
Let us know how it goes from there.

elbenj,
I think the Ardvark ($500) is a bit out of my price range at the moment. I'm looking for a (real) cheap soundcard at the moment, just to play around with some different multiple micing techniques I've picked up from the forums and also being able to mic my whole drumkit would be nice too. I plan on upgrading in the future to something really good but for now just something to dink around with. I guess I'll have to do some looking into the Core 2, I'm just glad that this was brought to my attention "before" I bought it.

What about the Delta 66 or the Delta 44 sound card.
They shouldn't hit you for more than $300.00

Tekker,
Take a look at the Yamaha DS2416 DSP Factory. It's going for about $229 at American Music Supply or Samash - I forget which one. This includes the AX44 Analog I/O box. Cakewalk is one of only about 5 programs spec'd to run this board.
