There you have it. USB 2.0 cable goes in 2.0 USB port And . . . USB 3.0 cable goes in 3.0 USB ports. (Requires Windows 10.) Have you tried to update you ports drivers on windows 10? Read here: https://www.sweetwater.com/sweetcare/articles/how-do-i-update-my-pcs-usb-3-0-chipset-drivers/ Also: https://tascam.com/us/product/us-20x20/feature

Exactly why I chose to mention it in my OP. Cakewalk could then fuse with Loop Construction with it. But if theres a new release dropping soon with this included it wont be necessary to add features - it can just be intergrated.

@Noel Borthwick Would you be interested in reaching out?

It this doesn't happen on USB 2.0 ports - That means you're using the USB2.0 cables. Double check and make sure you're using the USB 3.0 cables for 3.0 ports that came with it. Tascam USB20X20 USB3.0 comes with both USB3.0 cables and USB2.0 cables. Also check if you dont have a forgotten Asio4All drivers installed on you system still. Both my Scarlett and Twin had problems having both interface drivers and Asio4All drivers on the system.

7-zip can help with this.

This is lost in argument. I don't even know what my original question was anymore.

From 0db up to the highest DB on the meter reading. In cakewalk this goes up to 6db - that's your headroom.

I dont know.

And B.I.N.G.O just came out to play. This is it. You've answer my arguement. This was the first thing that came to mind days before I entered this forum. Which i've said/asked many time in my replies. Gibson might have never worked on this - "This" being the processing chain signal coding on their mix engine.

But here is the thing. I never said The "DAW's" sound different - all I asked was why are these plugins more sensitive with their settings in Reaper. Go read read my first Post The reverb sounded more darker projecting a "fuller" sound - in Cakewalk there's a roll-off in the low end of the reverb and boost in highend giving it a thinner-but-shimmering "aka" gloss/air sound to it. Compression are more sensitive. So basically what I'm asking, is - Does this have to do with the headroom differences between the two? Cakewalk db boost goes up to +6db, where reaper is at 12db boost. My question never reflected on a which daw is better. I keep saying Cakewalk was the DAW I learned on at varsity with Avid. At the time Cakewalk made Waves above Avid in professional studio's. 2008/09. I remember receiving articles on this because of it being Strictly Digital Based - if my memory serves me right it was with Sonar Studio or Producer 8.5. Then came x1, but studio's moved away when x2 introduced the many Audio Dropouts. So why would I start a DAW war when it's my Go-To DAW. If the Mix engine are still Digital based - than obviously things will be unique in their own way. Though, I cannot ignore the fact that hearing is in fact true. My ears don't lie 😂

Yep. I always do this. 😅 I've checked for these too. I have my fair share of knowledge. Try it yourself. Write down the level the moment you hear the threshold work in cakewalk and do the same in reaper. Free Compressor I've tested with https://www.tokyodawn.net/tdr-feedback-compressor-2/ Free reverb I tested with. http://www.lesliesanford.com/vst/plugins/ And . . . https://u-he.com/products/protoverb/

Well aware of that, Thanks. "PAN LAW." Now onwards to why the same reverb sounds fuller in reaper and thinner/sharper less analogue in CbB.

No one said reaper or studio one sounds better than Cakewalk. I'm talking about plugins - don't mix the two. When someone talks about DAWs sounding different, I immediately think of Audio quality when recording or using a samples. If someone tells me plugins are more sensitive and sound different in this daw - I immediately think of headroom space. Dont turn this discussion in to a "DAW War" thread - cause this is clearly not what this is about. If cakewalk's mix-engines (not playback engines) are still strictly digital signal based from the 90's it's signal based.

We do this with "7-Zip." We zip the files in 3 folders - with each subfolder "zipped." To help you understand. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.howtogeek.com/178146/htg-explains-everything-you-need-to-know-about-zipped-files/amp/

Mine is true 0 balance. Also "Panning" laws and Send Levels are two different things.

Really now? You're going there? If there's a noticeable difference in other daws with effects - theres a noticeable difference! They sound fuller - point! NO ARGUMENT THERE! No one spoke of using stock plugins with this. The only "Bias" person with the "Placebo effect" here, is you with your response. Everyone else are discussing this with an open mind going through the history of cakewalk. Cause the way these MeldaProduction plugins sounds in Reaper and Studio One are the same and fuller than what it sounds in Cakewalk. I've tried different other plugins too.

Yep. I'm gona give it straight. I've reset my entire configuration setting to default the third time. Different genre's same results with Reaper. Tried the laptop same results. Distortion are too more mouth watering in reaper. Demo'ing Studio One now and again results are different - fuller and more natural sound with effects. Next up will be my free Ableton that came with the interface. I also want to make something clear. I'm not doing this to make CbB seems bad - OH-NO! Cakewalk is rock solid! I just happened to test out Reaper - seeing that it has a free license until end of febuary and started noticing the difference. In CbB when sending an effect to an Aux or Bus there's that added +3db on effects. This is not so in these two DAWS I'm testing. What you send to a BUS is what you get out - which I miss, but the sound of the effects are way fuller than what it sounds in CbB and it's this "fuller more natural sound" that's bugging me and that caught me attention.

There's more control with 0.1db and you can really tell the difference immediately.

Has this always been a default setting for you - OR - have you changed it recently? Do you know how to find your Project folders in Windows?

Yeah. Was taught this in class 12 years ago. Seems like cakewalk still project a digital signal based sound.

Did everything. Cakewalk is broken 😂😂 Jokes aside - Compression are more sensitive. I immediately hear the attack, release and threshold work, as soon as I touch it them in reaper. In Cakewalk with the same piano and chords - it's a bit higher up. Reverb sounds fuller in Reaper and more thinner, but kind of "Shimmering" in CbB. Same bars and plugin setting, after exporting the test - and I find myself enjoying the sound reaper gives - though it took me 100 times longer. Routing things are weird in reaper. 😕

I've been using reaper almost a month now with it's free license and I'm thinking of investing in it. Before I do, I need confirmation on something. I've been using Cakewalk close to 12 years. Huge fan of it - it's my go to DAW. Question: Am I mistakenly to find that Reaper projects the sound differently than Cakewalk? My plugins sounds way fuller in Reaper. I really don't know how to explain it - but have anyone experience something like this? I hear compression better, the plugins are more sensitive there as what it is in CbB. The same with a Reverb - it sounds more true and natural than what it does in CbB. This is the same for every plugin. I use the same plugins in both and in CbB and there's a highly noticeable difference. Plugs I use everyday: MFreeFXBundle from MeldaProduction. If this is true . . . We need Cakewalk up there.

This is true.

Thanks Scook. This Shortcut need to added in the documentation/PDF reference. Cant find it there.

Hey bakers and members. Kindly requesting to increase OR decrease the value of the volume fader with the mouse wheel by a 0.1db in both Console and Track View, please. Right now, it does so by a value of 1.5db which is not a problem (you can click drag or type in the value,) but speed and flexibility are crucial these days in production.
