Pitch and Tempo Shifting After Recording Acoustic Guitars
After a Windows 10 "update" my Cakewalk icon for Platinum was a blank page with folded corner. I clicked to open it and I got a message, something to the effect, that I did not have an APP to open this. I went to Command Center and reloaded Platinum. After reboot I had the "real icon" but could not launch. I went to my back-up drive with, Platinum loaded, and could launch from that drive. I went back into Command Center did it again and all seemed well. On one day I recorded four simple audio acoustic guitar bed tracks for four songs. The next day two of the four played back at, at least 4 semi tones down in pitch and at a slower clock speed. After a reboot I got three out of four correct.......WTF??? Anyone else out there have had this same experience after a Windows 10 upgrade to "improve your experience"?? I thought by disabling Automatic Upgrades, after the fact, I could avoid this but it is still happening even though no updates have occurred. I do not seem to get tempo or pitch changes, so far, if MIDI data is included.
I have also noticed that many folks post system hardware information, which I understand can be useful in the debugging process, so I will also include mine. Many thanks in advance as I have learned so many things from this forum.....BTW, I did sign the petition for Microsoft to buy Cakewalk!!! At 65 years old I can proudly say I started with Cakewalk at Profession 1.0 for Windows 3.11!!
