    "Main outs?"

    Here's the thing. When you do . . .you need to be precise and accurate with your request of explanation to them. Reason: You'll need to keep this in mind as Cakewalk has a Master H/W Output Strip to not confuse things.
  2. To Quantize Audio in Cakewalk: Select the audio clip you want to quantize. Press Alt+A to open the AudioSnap palette. Click the Quantize button in the AudioSnap palette. Most users confuse transients snap with Audio Quantization, but this does not mean you can't use it too. Locate the edit filter box and click on it to Assign the track’s Edit Filter control to Audio Transients.

    "Main outs?"

    Main Outs are the OUTPUT you use as your "MAIN OUT" such as your interface/mixer OUTPUT. Interface/Mixer L Interface/Mixer R Interface/Mixer S These are your MAIN OUTPUTS. Another EXAMPLE on the signal flow. Guitar > Interface Input> Pro channel> Gain> FX bin> Sends> Pan> Fader> Output.

    Main Outs are the OUTPUT you use as your "MAIN OUT" such as your interface/mixer OUTPUT in your I/O. Interface/Mixer L. Interface/Mixer R. Interface/Mixer S . These are your MAIN OUTPUTS.
  5. I think you've kinda complicated things for yourself in the previous thread. Cakewalk does it pretty much straight forward as expected, so i'm good. Give yourself another month and you will revisit this with an "AWW-Okay" moment. Like you've said, your still new with the DAW so you're failry comfortable with how your ther DAW does it. You'll get use to this workflow. I'm Twelve years with it.
  6. That is actually the direct monitor buttons. Don't know why they took this route with it. Theres actually no difference between them other than it is placing the signal in either Mono/ Stereo for "Direct Monitoring in Zero Latancy" with the USB switch being the pure system signal.
  7. Direct Monitor puts the Interface in Zero Latancy. Sorry, I can't help any further on this matter. Which I knew what was really wrong, but at this moment it's a guessing game. I personally didn't experience any of the above problems mentioned in the OP. I too, use active monitors and only experienced about -3dB difference when Direct monitoring was enabled. Its not really something i (personally) would ever need. This being said: There was a difference other than the -3bB decrease in volume. Even with the Apollo twin which I use on the Mac its there. All I can think of now is to try and clean out you fans in your system. Grab a brand new paint brush, remove the cpu fans and dust them off also check some USB HUBS (if you're using any.) Also, replace some thermal paste. Your latancy might be related to something else and not Cakewalk or your Interface. You'll get it to work right, im sure.
  8. Maybe. Try switching on Direct Monitoring on the DUO. What happens if you lower the size of your sample buffer size in the interface's settings? That will also cut down latency times. Factors that can introduce latency, are your CPU, the current DSP/processor load, your interface, interface driver quality, sample buffer size, your USB chain and sample rates. Also try lowering your project sample rate to 48000/24bit and do some tests.
  9. USB ports and cables also play a small role in this, so try a different USB port. I think the DUO is use USB2.0 ports. You could also try this with your TASCAM. Were you recording vocals?
  10. There could be a lot of reasons for this. Plugins, Gain staging, faders, hidden automations, bus volumes its an endless guessing game. While on this note: Have you tried out the new Cakewalk by Bandlab DAW version?
  11. There is a neat trick, but you need good mixing experience for this to work. If you only hear the left side, it is already in MONO, what you're looking/asking for is to put it down the center. To do this: Locate the TRACK TAB and scroll down to BOUNCE TO TRACKS where another window will pop up. In this window: Click on the CHANNEL FORMAT and select SPLIT MONO and then click OK. Delete the empty track and PAN the other track to 0% by just double clicking on the Pan slider/knob (depending on which window view you prefer to work in.) OR . . . You can just right click on the CLIP itself and scroll down to CONVERT TO MONO.
  12. Well. I did ask for the link, so . . . ??
  13. How hot are you going into it? I actually had one, but can't recall ever experiencing this. Had it for two months and sold it, I think i was unhappy with connection cables I had to get, 1/4jacks (Duo) to XLR (Monitors.) It sounded decent at the time for the Home Studio.
  14. If I may ask, what's wrong with this? And what changes did you make? And would you be so kind to attach the link to the other thread in discussion.
  15. If you're in Windows 10 right click on the speaker icon and choose OPEN SOUND SETTINGS. In the next windows under SOUND change the output to the desired SOUND DRIVER you want to use on your System. Under Manage Sound Devices > Output Devices, click on the extra Outpit Devices shown and DISABLE them. No need to delete things as you might want to use them again. Hope this helps.
  16. This depends on where you want to use it. Currently its only available on MIDI files in Cakewalk. For audio files you gona need a 3rd Party Plugin.
  17. There actually is. When created, you get a dirty copy and clean copy. If that's what you're asking. I can attach a video for this, if thats what you are asking.
  18. Numpad 1 to Nudge Left. Numpad 3 to Nudge Right. Try switching the Aim assistant ON/OFF by pressing the X-key on the keyboard and turning the Smart Tool OFF. You can do this by toggling between the Tools with F5 - F6 - F7 - F8
  19. 1: USB connection. Is your drum module installed? If not, install its driver software. After the module has been configured, connected, and properly installed, you’ll be able to enable it as a MIDI controller and then start recording electronic drums. Once the drivers have been installed, the next step is to update Cakewalks MIDI settings to communicate with your drum module. This means enabling its input and output ports so it can send MIDI data onto a track. You'll be able to then use SI Drums, Addictive drums or any other. 2: Interface Connection: Connect two TRS cables from the Main Outs on your drum module’s back to two inputs of your interface. If your interface only has one input, connect a cable from your drum module’s L output to the input on your interface. Create a Stereo audio track and update the input routing to match the input(s) you’ve connected to your module. Record-enable the audio track and press record.
  20. Does Cakewalk recognise your drums? To check . . . Go to Edit > Preferences > MIDI > Devices. Select your MIDI ports under Inputs. Select your MIDI ports under Outputs.
  21. Try clicking on the clip to highlight it (section) and drag it to where you want it | OR | try the Ctrl+D to duplicate the clip (this one works better for me on my workflows.) See which one works best for you.
