Patching an effect into Music Creator causes a dropout

You may have simply reached the maximum number of tracks and effects your CPU can handle. If this is the case, there are several things you can try:

Freeze tracks and synths that you presently don’t need to edit. For details, see Freeze tracks and synths.

Use the Bounce to clips command to mix down clips that contain a lot of edits (automation, etc). Doing so will decrease the amount of data your system has to process simultaneously. For details, see Bouncing to clips.

Open the C:\Cakewalk Projects\Picture Cache folder and delete its contents (do not delete the folder itself). Doing so will free up disk space so Music Creator may perform more efficiently.
