I tried quite a few things, check all options, gain match off, inputs and outputs at 0, exported different ways, etc, etc, and it appears that as soon as I use the Ozone limiter on the master, I do get the 5-6dB loss. Metering is good but export is wrong. Weird !! Otherwise, same limiter (exact copy of) added on the track and going thru the master without the limiter, all is good. Very strange. So it's not the master in cause. Might be something I miss. Next is to try a different limiter I guess and see what happens.

Hey Lord Tim. Thanks for the follow up. Nup, the Offset is off, there is no automation whatsoever on the master and yes the output of the master is going to the interface. The strange thing I realized taking the picture is that the True peak is .1. It is supposed to read -.9. I don't measure that in the session and the output is not clipped ever. if I re-import the affected bounce, same result in the metering. It is not exactly 6dB as stated, because I am measuring LUFS but there is a noticeable difference. (see side by side pics). Does it help ? Attached pictures.

Hi all, This may have been covered before, but I didn't find anything. Maybe someone can shine in why my output bounce is 6 dB lower in the final file. I will try to explain what is happening. Meanwhile, I have found a workaround which could help explaining what is going on, maybe. So, I'm mastering 8 songs in a Cakewalk session, each one imported on its own track and spread across on the timeline. I have one instance of Ozone 10 (EQ) on each track. Each track goes to the master output (bus set at 0, input, output etc). I have one instance of Ozone ( limiter) there, plus my Youlean Loudness pro meter after that. I set my levels etc so that I read, say -11LUFS roughly. All is good. I bounced each tracks via Export as a wav file. Then, I measured the levels of the bounced files in Youlean and I get pretty much a -6dB loss in levels. I am puzzled why. It is as if I do lose 6dB somewhere in the process going thru the master fader. OK, here's the work around now. I rerouted all the track outputs directly to my I/O instead of the master and placed an additional copy of my limiter instance (used on the master before) after each Instance of the track EQ and bounced again, and now the levels in the export files are good and identical to what I am metering in the session. What am I missing ? Hope I can get feedback on this. Thanks Claude

Hi all. Did not see the replies until today. Thanks for comments. Finally got the session to work. I had to revert to a previous session auto save without too much stuff missing. Maybe the current session was corrupted somehow.

Hi all. Hopefully someone will be able to shine in for this problem I have after last Cakewalk update 2021.12. Some instruments in a project closed in late December with the previous version of Cakewalk will not load samples or remember patches for specific instruments like Trilian, VSL, Iris 2, Eat West strings and Sforzando. I tried to open backups, but it doesn't help. Something is broken apparently. No changes on these instruments or system. Just update to Cakewalk. Is this a potential bug perhaps ? I don't know for sure. I will try to roll back to the previous version of Cakewalk, but if anyone can comment on other solutions, please let me know. Thanks Claude Edit : not Cakewalk. Something else in a single session. I tested other sessions and they are ok with 2021.11 or 2021.12.

Hi azslow3. I removed the two files and I managed to launch Cakewalk with no more issues. Yeah !! I did a little test and after replacing one or the other file in the core folder and relaunching Cakewalk, I think it is the ctrlsurface.dat that was at fault. I am going thru your information and tips to add DAW control. I hope I will succeed. Thanks for your help. It is really appreciated !!

Hi all, I think I hurt Cakewalk pretty badly after trying to configure my M audio Hammer 88 Pro oping to start to use all the DAW buttons (yet to configure in the controller). BTW, anyone has done this ? Is there an editor preset file that exists already somewhere ? Can't find it. Anyway, I was trying to set up the input ACT and Mackie controller in the preferences. I was following instructions that I found on the net and was supposed to be helpful. Now, I get instant crash whenever I try to launch Cakewalk. A restart does nothing. I have a crashdump file if it can be helpful. Can anyone help me, please ? Thanks in advance. Claude

This is a new behaviour. When dragging a pick from EzDrummer onto a track, the region name appears as the full path as per my screenshot. Before that I would only get "Variation 20". Something changed. I have no idea if it's something new in EzDrummer, Cakewalk (both latest versions) or a configuration. I tried to find some settings in both and I am not successful. Any idea what to look for ? Thanks Claude

Hello I'm curious to see if there is a fix for a problem I'm having with Cakewalk (latest v - but probably not related). I'm recording my performance via Jamorigin MG2 midi converter and the playback is done with an Amplesound vst2 instrument. I have the default (2) pitch bend activated in the MG2 plugin and a fair amount of data is being recorded (tremolos, bends etc). When I go into the PRV to edit notes and velocities, everything runs smoothly, but as soon as I switch to display the pitch bend data, everything runs slow, like moving notes, drawing/correcting pitch bend. I mean slow!! Anything to check or try ? Is it fixable ? Thanks! Note: I use Amplesound vst2 because I get a plugin crash with the vst3 version with too much pitch bends. I have a PC i7 with 16gig ram. It is a fairly small session. Overall performance 10% Engine load 15-20%

Oh wow !? That simple ? I was not even aware of this because no other plugin I have behave that way. I'm so glad it solves my problem. Thanks a million Scook !! Have a nice day, Claude

Hi all, I have the latest Cakewalk version and Vienna Instrument player. I'm trying to rename a matrix in the Vienna Player, but instead it triggers shortcuts in Cakewalk in the background. As if the plugin is not in focus. I have reported this to VSL. Maybe it's a Cakewalk issue. I don't know. Anyone experiencing this problem ? Thanks Claude
