Please Help!!!

i have been trying to play midi through cakewalk sonar producer and i get this wierd warbly effect..almost like a tremelo effect.

I am using an m-audio 49 and when i first started using it i had no problems. If i play the keyboard through the music teacher software that came with it, it plays fine, which makes me think that it must be something in Sonar, but i do not know how to adjust it. I am running it through the cakewalk tss-1 softsynth which sounds good other than that annoying problem. PLEASE HELP!!!!

Please, post such questions in one place, thus minimizing the chance of two or more people wasting their time answering a question that they can't know has been answered already in another thread...

One possible source of this effect you describe (if I'm interpeting your description correctly) is if you have recorded the MIDI tracks to audio, and then play back the audio rendering and the original MIDI tracks together. Then your audio card is passing two nearly identical audio signals at the same time, causing comb filtering, which can just make the tracks sound washed out and nasal, or cause a beating effect if more extreme... So if this is the case, either mute the MIDI tracks or mute the audio tracks with the MIDI in them.

Even if you didn't mean this to happen, it's possible it happened to you inadvertently by thinking that you were recording audio along with the MIDI tracks, but routing in such a way that the MIDI sounds are also recorded onto your audio track with whatever you're playing or singing. To test this, mute everything except one audio track and play it back. Is there only one thing there, or are the MIDI tracks audible too?

If you recorded multiple tracks this way the problem would get worse and worse the more tracks you record, as more copies of the same audio, all very slightly different, interfere with each other.
