omg. You wont be able to guess. Listen, I've been doing this for a long time. I mastered on classical guitar, but I took a minor on sound recording engineering. So now that you know get ready to laugh at me. it was the simplest thing and I made it more complex than what it was because I'm use to old machines which were much more complex. This daws are so much friendlier overall. Anyway, when recording it, it was on stereo. The recording was paned to the left, "for some reason". I didn't put it there lol, I swear. I have to look into that later. So, today I was leaning more to that side since my rig is slightly to the left and OfCourse when you pan a stereo track to one side it sounds slightly higher than split evenly. Isn't that just freaking mind blowing? That people always go for the most complicated thing when in most cases it's not. Ehhhhh. . . . Sorry

master is at 0dB on octa and so is in the cakewalk. The echo is disabled in cakewalk Didnt see anything about echo on octa. When echo is on in cakewalk I do hear it louder but thats just because the signal was doubled and it sounds doubled. Not lagged or echoed tho, Which is god. Means system is fast enough to lag it behind too much. But I hear it doubled. Man this is weird.

Input is loud in octa-capture. I can see the signal. I can also see it in cakewalk, almost about to peak. But what comes out of the speakers is low when I am recording or in live feed. But, when I play back what I recorded is loud.

I started my transition to cakewalk from digital workstations like VS2480 and such and it is a different world. DAW's make life easier in general. But some things I can't figure out. I would take my time and learn everything without haste. But time right now is an issue and I need to know why whenever I record the guitar, it sounds low. But when I play it back it sounds as it should. I don't have latency or anything. I checked everything on my interface and it's near peaking. I checked cakewalk and there is nothing applied to the track. Everything is working well. I just want to know what's going on. I use octa capture from roland. Here are my pc specs. Not that they matter that much for audio. These days any gaming desktop will be good enough for recording audio.
