Any new Audio track inserted into a project will have the interleave set to stereo by default. Even if the input is set to a mono source or a mono clip is pasted into the track, the interleave will remain stereo until it is manually changed. If a tracks interleave is set to stereo then the pan knob acts as a balance control. So it is important to change the interleave if you want the pan to behave as expected. However to answer the OP; This would depend on whether any stereo FX are placed in the FX bin before the EQ. The Sonitus EQ does not have separate L-R processing. So if the source is mono the Left and Right outputs of the EQ are identical.

Yes that is weird. Another experiment... Create a new blank project and import a file from a commercial CD. Then export that file without any other processing. If this also exports noise you may need to contact CbB support. I have to go for now and fry some other fish, but I will check back late tonight or in the morning to see how you are getting along. If I think of anything else I will post from my phone.

The Cakewalk Browser is toggled on or off by hitting the "B" key. It has 3 tabs at the top for Media, PlugIns, and Notes. The media tab can navigate to practically any folder in your computer. It is a tremendously flexible way to move audio files or samples into or out of projects. As for your last question, yes. For me exported files sound exactly like they are supposed to in other players. I believe that what @mettelus has written about is the real problem. The Media Player/ VIC or the Realtek mixer software (or both?) is likely adding some sort of processing. Also check that Windows itself is not the culprit. Right click the audio icon in the Windows Taskbar. Open playback device/ properties - there is an enhancements tab there as well. Also try copying the file to your phone or tablet. At some point you will find the problem. It will very likely be one of those slap the forehead moments (DOH!). Anyway, best of luck. I know these sorts of things can be creativity killers. All you want to do is make music and instead you are (expletive deleted) around with computer settings. I've been there. You will get it to work.

Hello Angramme, don't get too depressed. When you finally solve this issue it will likely turn out to be something very simple. Let's go down what you've done so far. Right click the clip. Bounce to clip is in the right click menu. This renders any edits and processing. Normalize is in Process/Apply Effect. It allows you to raise or lower the overall volume of a clip so that it peaks at a specific value. I am going to avoid suggesting a different interface. These things are usually fine for playback. Record latency and fidelity are a different matter. Let's try a different approach. 1.Drag the clip (Output) into the Cakewalk browser. Then open a new blank project and drag the clip (Output) into it. 2. Open Preferences/File/Audio Data and change the render bit depth to 16. 3. Right click the clip and Bounce to clip. This will render it as a 16 bit clip. Now drag the file onto the Windows desktop and play it with Windows media Player. Try this. I will check back shortly. Also Mettelus is probably on to something with "Spatial Sound"

Let me see if I can help. 1. Open your project in Cakewalk and start it playing . While playback is in progress mute the master bus. Is it then silent? If you don't have silence there is a routing problem. If it is silent then... 2. Adjust the master fader so that the volume never peaks above -1 (at this point most people don't go above -3). 3. Instead of exporting the mix, bounce it to a new track (Select all, then click the Tracks tab in the Track View header and then click the Bounce to Tracks option - the Bounce menu will open - in the source category choose buses and then highlight only the Master bus then click OK). 4. When the bounce is complete, solo the resulting track and route it's output directly to the hardware output. Play it back. It should sound exactly the same as the mix (if it does not come back here and let us help you figure out why). If it sounds right trim any unwanted time from the beginning and the end, add fade in and fade out, then bounce the clip to itself (If you want it to play back a little louder you can Normalize it to -1). 5. Select your finished clip (rename it now from the right click menu if you wish) and export it (don't use the Export button- instead use File/Export/Audio - in the Source Category choose Clips - set your desired sample rate, bit depth, and dither). When exporting clips there is no need to enter a file name. The clip name will be the name of the resulting file. I hope this helps. FWIW I never export mixes. The above method may seem complicated but once you have done it a couple of times you will see the logic behind it... Or not.

Hollow waveform means it is muted. Drag the mute tool over the hollow section to unmute. I believe the top half of the clip unmutes while the bottom half mutes it. I don't have CbB open to check, it could be opposite.

It works for me. FWIW I have updates deferred and paused for as long as possible so I'm still on 1709.

The advanced replacement is called find / change. It is in the process menu. It can be assigned a custom shortcut key

The right click menu in the PRV will (apparently) only allow you to choose Interpolate (Process-Find/Change) when you are using the Select Tool with data selected. There is no default shortcut key to this but one can be created in Preferences. The default shortcut for the Event Filter (Edit-Select-By Filter) is cntrl-alt-F6. You can make a custom shortcut in Preferences. Note that Interpolate is a legacy term from older versions of Cakewalk software. Only Noel would be able to tell us why it still appears in that menu instead of the current Find/Change.

Hold down the control key when you change the meter setting on an unselected track. They will all change.

The 64 sample buffer is the most likely problem. It can work fine for tracking. Not so much for mixing with those plug-ins.

@Chuck E Baby is correct. Meter changes can be quick grouped.

Awesome! When did y'all put this up?

Move the send automation back in time.

The scale of the meters can be set individually (or quick grouped) in the Track View and Console View. As far as I can tell the only meters that are global are the ones in the Track Inspector.

A friend I've gigged with for many years plays a Selmer VI. It is a great sounding horn. He would be able to use it at all of his gigs if he would stop bending the neck. I'm convinced those things are made of tin foil.

Are you using display scaling? It is well established that CbB has some problems with any display scale other than 100%. The worst offender is the scrub tool. I have learned to live without it.

Dude, I'm sorry. That was sarcasm. Although I did not say banned, I said admonished. I also said you should get paid.

Nevermind. They are still on the phone. I just had not dug deep enough to hit them. Grr... Arghhh

Looks like they are gone. None on my desktop or phone. Have not looked at the tablet yet.

I thought it was against forum rules to put ads in your posts. @Cactus Music should be admonished for this... Or paid.

Oh well... Ads at the bottom of the page on the desktop now. W10-Edge.

I had ads on my tablet this morning. Turned it off immediately. Came here on the desktop and there are no ads so far.

Black star means you participated in the thread and it has unread content. White star means there is no unread content. A thread you have not participated in that has unread content will have a black dot.

X3 works on Win 10. I have SPlat, X3e, 2, 1 and Sonar 8.5 on my Win 10 machine. They all work fine. I am with @scook and @Chuck E Baby ; delete the "Aud.ini" file. (If that doesn't work then perhaps more RAM an SSD and a few Waves plug-ins will.?)
