Hey. There's been some weird stuff happening with my computer/Cakewalk lately (v. 8.04) - I was wondering if anyone out there has any advice for me. Here's my shpiel:
I'm currently working on a song with 14 tracks of WAV audio, about half of them have been muted and archived. Recently I went to mix it down and Cakewalk wouldn't do it. There was no error message or anything, just that it wouldn't do it - processing for about half a second, then nothing. I restarted the computer - still wouldn't do it.
I decided to try temporarily deleting some of the archived tracks. This did the trick, and I worked out that with about 10 of the tracks left I could mix the song down - anything more was giving me problems. Fine.
Then I went away for a couple of days, and when I came back just for a laugh I tried to mix down all 14 tracks again. This time it worked fine, which was very strange. Then I decided to copy all of the 14 tracks and paste them down into the song starting with the first unused track - so now I'm using 28 tracks, just to see how far i can go. Tried to mix it down and it worked fine!!!!!!
So now I'm really confused. Was there a ghost in my computer for awhile? The only change I've made to the computer recently is to add 128 Megs of RAM (from crucial.com). So I'm using a total of 256 and I have a Dell 350 Pentium II with a 10gig hard drive. If anyone can help me solve this riddle I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks,
steve
