I just spent several hours mixing down and importing audio files onto tracks of C5. I could hear them, and then something happened and I couldn't hear them. The audio form is still on the tracks. Yesterday I could see the VU meter moving when I hip play but no sound, but today VU has no movement and no sound. PS my hookup works just fine in Real Band. I also closed all programs except C5. All those programs were closed for 10 to 20 seconds prior to opening C5. I use Vista 32 on a Laptop.

Here is my hookup USB to M-Audio Fast Track Pro, FT RCA's to PA system, also FT 1/4 inch to Studio Speakers (NFS - for recording mix down) . All components hooked up to my computer are on, and computer volume is set to 96. Sound card settings playback and record set to Fast Track. I also have 1/8 inch line out of my computer to 1/4 input of Fast Track (just in case). I tested all setting for sound using Real Band and it works.

First thing I do boot up my computer, then I open C5. I get the following message: There are no Audio Devices for the current driver model on your system. Please go to Options|Audio and choose a different driver model.

When I follow directions above Driver model = Asio (model options are: Wdm/Ks, Wasap, ASIO4all v2 audio headphone/speaker, M-Audio USB ASIO Analog 1/2 fast track or 3/4 Fast Track. Play Back w/ASIO = None (Playback options: ASIO 4all ..., M-Audio..1/2 or MA...3/4.

I changed Playback from none to 1/2 Fast Track, I hit Apply - It generates - I hit OK - the window closes (this is what i do on the other options stated below) - I hit play. No sound and no VU movement on playback (VU same on all test below). Driver model ASIO.

2nd Options, I set Playback to ASIO4all ... I apply, hit Ok. Playback no sound.

3rd option, I set playback to MME32 - System performs a test - Playback still line 1/2 fast track - I apply, OK, hit play and nothing.

By Wednesday, if I can't get this resolved, I will ship this program back to PG and write-off the extensive time I spent with this program. I like the look of the program, and I believe it could be an asset, but this kind of problem real sends me reeling and very frustrated. Everybody on the site have been very helpful, and I want to say thank you for that help even if I drop this program. I posted this message to both Cakewalk site and PG Music site for others that may have this same problem.

Thank You from Milwaukee Mike

Thanks to all for your input.

http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.aspx?high=&m=2046935&mpage=1#2047396

Above is the link for the discussion at Cakewalk.

In short the problem was a file management problem.

C5's TTS-1 is OK as midi sounds go, and because it's an softsynth it's easier to turn the midi track or tracks into an audio track, and it's also faster. However, there is absolutely no comparison to the great sounds not to mention 3x the number to choose from (ie 3 different trumpets etc) on the SD2.

The reason I did purchase the program C5 was not for the Soft Synth but for the way it handles VST plug-ins. Real Band and PT do have issues with some 3rd party VST's.

Anybody out there using the PG products and other Programs such as C5 please provide your input. I would still like to know the differences, before I invest more time in C5 only to find out there is something (easy to use) better.

Glad you got it resolved, by the way it is MC5 not C5. This helps folks no what it is you are asking for to be specific.

Personally i use a program called Multitrackstudio for all things that Rb will not do. It hadles VST and VSTis very well and is far easier to use and setup. By far the best DAW on the market hands down. It is not as sophisticated as say Sonar, but it has the best work flow, and the very best effects and plugins. I find that when i couple MTS with Band in a Box and RB i have a winning audio midi/tool kit.

I could not get by without both MTS and the PG package. http://www.multitrackstudio.com/index.php

Also i was an avid MC user since version 1 thru 5 now i almost never use it.
