“High-Quality”

* If your computer does not feature adequate performance, even with the above set-

tings, you may not be able to get stable digital audio output, meaning the sound will
suffer when digital connections are used. Additionally, Cakewalk Pro Audio 5.0 and
Cakewalk Professional 5.0 do not feature the above-mentioned settings. We recom-
mend upgrading to Version 6.0.
