No experience of your hardware setup, but here's one possibility: in Cakewalk you can set different tempo ratios. In my version (an old one, CW Professional 8) this is in the Tempo group of toolbar buttons. 2 is standard, 1 is half speed, 3 is double speed, IIRC.


: I'm having two different problems which are essentially the same:
: #1 - When CW is slaved to my Fostex D-108, the sequences speed up, with the tempo in double time. This happens regardless of whether it slaved via midi or mtc.
: #2 - When I try to record to CW (instead of using the blasted D-108), the recording is twice the speed. We're an industrial techno hard core band, and sounding like a bunch of chipmunks on acid isn't too inspiring.
: The soundcard being used is an M Audio Audiophile 2496; I work in a music store and my colleagues told me this is the one to get for Cakewalk if I only need 2 ins/outs for audio... however, my computer wouldn't recognize the first 2496 I purchased, and now (after six months relatively problem-free) it seems to be doing anything I put into it while using Cakewalk at double the speed.
: If anyone has any suggestions or ideas, let me know. Post a message here, the guys at work are interested in hearing what the other users think.
