Sorry Mike
I've no experience with Cakewalk at all. Only thing I can suggest is that there might be a preference option on the interfaec that would allow you to select ASIO as the dsp. ASIO2 provides the lowest latency of any software sequencer platform and is pretty much an industry standard. Some sequencers (maybe Cakewalk) rather annoyingly don't auto default to ASIO so you have to select it. Pro- tools, along with Logic, are perhaps often seen as Mac sequencers (Logic nowadays is only Mac). With the full pro-tools V7 HD system I've never even seen one based on a pc. However the cut down pro-tools LE/M-Powered is dual platform and so can run on a pc. I assume you have the M-Powered as you have the fasttrack interface... If pro-tools won't run tdue to compatability then take a look at this - it gives some info about pc specs - I assume there is a related mac one on digi's site (Have to say that I found getting this info tortuous - think digi could be more upfront with this important info  ) It may give you some ideas on what you may have to do to uprgade spec to meet/exceed requirements assuming you want to stick with pro-tools that is.If you however want to change sequencers then have look at Reaper - not perfect but for a very cheap shareware sequencer (about 50 USD for a V2 licensed version - you can also try it unlimited for free) it's highly recommended. However - the protools le/fasttrack SHOULD have the big advantage (when it runs) of being an integrated plug and play system...

+1 for reaper ...
I have been using it at home for a while now, and today I am doing a recording session with a friend, and the workflow is pretty good. I have been a cubase user in the past but woudn't go back now, reaper is actually ahead in some areas. Itss biggest weakness is in the midi support - it works but is a little basic, Cubase has that pretty much perfected. -------------------- Check out my Instructor profile

As an aside Andrew - I use midiyoke quite a bit in Reaper particularly good with Native's Kontakt and some sample articulations. Might be worth a look at if you haven't seen it. (It's essentially a virtual midi patchbay).
Cheers, Tony ps like you I've now given up on cubase in exchange for Reaper but also for Live!. -------------------- Get your music professionally mastered by anl AES registered Mastering Engineer. Contact me for Audio Mastering Services and Advice and visit our website www.miromastering.com
