Focusrite drivers blocking Yamaha drivers in Cakewalk.

[dave_bass5]

Ive been using Cakewalk by Bandlab (Windows 10) for a few weeks without issues with my Yamaha MODX. I use this as both audio and midi interface. I can record midi tracks, and then use the MODX to record them as audio. The MODX works as an audio device.

A few days ago i brought a Scarlett Solo and thats working fine outside of Cakewalk, but as soon as i launch Cakewalk it becomes the default audio in/out and the Yamaha gets grey’ed out. Midi is still working (this is over USB), but i cant bounce the midi down to audio unless I physically disconnect the Scarlett.

I also have Cubase Elements 11 and have no such issues. Either can be used without effecting the other.
Just wondering if anyone knows a setting that needs to be changed? I’d like to go over to Cakewalk full time but not if i have to do this each time.

I don't use Sonar anymore but I think you just need to go into the preferences -> Audio and select the right interface.

I'd also suggest inistalling ASIO4ALL and use it to combine all your interfaces under the same asio driver.

Thats the problem, i cant select any drivers other than the Scarlett drivers. If the Scarlett isnt connected to my PC then the Yamaha ones are working perfectly well. If it is the Yamaha ones are grey’ed out and cant be selected.

Ok, I figured it out. I need to disable the Scarlett as the Output device first. Then I can change back to the Yamaha. If I disabled the Input first it didn’t work the same way.
