I use CWBB version 2024.12 (125) update 29.9.0.125
As a previous Sonar user, I am simply delighted with every aspect of CWBB.
I find that imported WAV files play +3dB louder in CWBB than on disk.
I use the paid version of Youlean Loudness Meter 2, (2.5.10) to measure integrated LUFS.
For testing, I imported a WAV of a bluegrass banjo track into a virgin CWBB project.
Using Youlean, I adjusted the integrated LUFS to my normal working LUFS value.
I exported the WAV with all gains and faders at zero, and no effects in the project.
Youlean file analysis shows the exported WAV having the identical LUFS it was created with.
After importing that new file back into CWBB, Youlean shows it exactly at +3.0dB louder.
I cannot figure out the reason for this.
