How to Fix Static Audio in Cakewalk by BandLab
Cakewalk by BandLab is a free, PC-based Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) for recording audio, mixing musical tracks, and producing songs.
If you hear audio issues such as static during playback of your recording and MIDI tracks, there can be a few causes. But there’s a quick fix you should try before troubleshooting: your driver settings.
Check the Driver to Fix Static Audio in Cakewalk
If you hear static or a crackling sound during Cakewalk playback, the first thing you should check is your driver type. You want to choose the right type depending on your DAW setup. This solution is sometimes overlooked because the software may function normally other than the audio problem.
Here’s how to check your driver:
If you’re using the internal sound card and want to use other audio applications at the same time as Cakewalk, choose theWASAPI Shareddriver. And for older Cakewalk version integration or Windows versions older than Windows 10, try theWDM/KSorMME (32-bit)drivers.
Some Other Things to Check
Check the physical connections of any external hardware tied into your DAW. Loose connections or faulty equipment are common culprits for popping, buzzing, or static in your audio.
If you hear a buzzing in your guitar audio, it can be caused by the way your house’s electrical system is wired. Rather than breaking open your walls to rewire your house, try running your guitar signal through a DI box with a ground lift, which you can buy for around $30.
