HEY GUYS EVERYTIME I CONNECT MY USB TO THE LAPTOP, THE SOUND FROM MY SPEAKERS GOES AWAY...WHY IS THAT?

[CakewalkSoftware]

@PSYCHEDELIKSOUL What kind of "USB" are you talking about?

[ExhaustedPenguin]

No matter what I do, I can't hear thought my speakers what I'm playing, there's just no signal on that meter. I can't figure out how to connect my instruments to my computer or anything. What about you make a video where you show all the equipment you need and step by step put it all together and record a little thing so I can see exactly how it's done, because it's hard to understand when you only record the screen and read from the help files that comes with MC that I've already read... =(

how do you import audio already on your computer to the track?

@CakewalkSoftware the USB that our instrument plugs into. can you answer the Question?

[JPPchannel]

Since Cakewake isn't helping me at all I had to figure out how to make the sound playback by myself. What you have to do at least this worked for me is go to "Options" then audio then where it says "playback device" it was set on the microphone. So change the playback device to your speakers that the system detects. This worked for me, I hope it helps. P.S I shouldnt have to figure all this out just so I can use this software, I am not happy with it...

the cakewalk5 is the most non friendly recording software i have ever had the displeasure of using.after reading about all the problems that everyday people have with it i dont feel so alone any more. guess i'll go shell out the cash for mixcraft

[xX1OfaKiNdXxXCoolXx]

my usb is not working with this softwear. i did every thing to use this product but when i try to play the sound dose not come out and the sound meter stays above when i record. and costumer service said to restart the computer and make sure the driver is install. the driver install but i still dont hear or see the sound move meter move. help! please

If you can't hear anything while you have a microphone plugged in, On windows 7 go down to your Speaker Icon and click on it, there should be two different speakers after that. Click on the one thats playing volume and go to where it says usage of device(enabled) and then click on disable. And Boom!

I know cakewalk is good stuff cause I used it 10 years ago... but where the hell is the advancement in user friendliness? This is unnecessarily complex
