Audio Performance
Advanced Tab Options:
Option. . . How to use it. . .
Data Directory This item specifies the directory in which
Cakewalk stores audio data files.You may
want to keep your audio files in a
separate data directory or on a different
drive; just be sure to enter that data
directory’s path here.
Note: Do not casually change the data
directory! Any .WRK files that contain
digital audio will be unable to locate their
audio files if you enter the wrong
directory.
Picture Directory This item specifies the directory in which
Cakewalk stores waveform picture files.
You may want to keep your picture files
in a separate data directory or on a
different drive; just be sure to enter that
data directory’s path here.
Enable Read Caching and Enable
Write Caching
Choosing either of these options lets
Cakewalk bypass the Windows disk
cache while reading or writing audio
data. Cakewalk will usually perform best
with all caching disabled. If your
computer has an older IDE disk controller,
or a disk controller that does not use
DMA transfers, enabling caching may
improve Cakewalk’s audio performance.
Note: Changes to these settings only
take effect when you restart Cakewalk.
Copy and Manage Imported Files By default, Cakewalk makes a new copy
of any audio data imported via the
Insert-
Wave File
command. If you don’t choose
this option, Cakewalk will attempt to
“share” the original file, thereby saving
disk space.
If you accidentally delete the original
audio file, it’s gone forever!
