Glad I could help. ☺

It depends on the votes to your request.

I too use the Youlean Meter. Those read you see is not clipping - thats the reduction of -0.1dB and 0.3dB. The reference track is obviously translating more fuller and thicker in body - that's why you see a "red line" in reduction at the top. With the other one, the limiter of the online service you use was only catching peaks here and there, because it lacks in body. The only difference between the images: The 1st images is -3dB softer than the reference. This isn't a bad thing as Youtube require a -3dB in volume reduction so does few other popular streaming services too. Infact the 1st image LUFS reading seems spot on for "CD" which is - 9dB. Also never rely too much on LUFS readings. I often flip between 3 just to make sure they're readings are the same. I rely 60% - 70% of the time on my ears than any meter reading on plugins, although one is permanently on the master track.

Alright. I think I solved this. I was trying to make a video with audio and my focusrite asio drivers didn't allow me to record the screen with Audio. So I changed to WASAPI EXCLUSIVE and guess what? All the pops and clicks gone. ? Did a reinstall of my drivers and things seem to be working good. I'm still investigating the synths.

I was running the 2021.04 before the 2021.06 EA came out, but only noticing this 2days ago. I was using the dbMeter5 prior to switching meters - that's why I didn't notice until I switched to TT-Dynamic Meter.

Yeah! I need to fix that - apologies. Yes, VST 2 32bit. Both Effects and Synths. Never had this problem with previous versions. I had also re-installed Cakewalk just now. Same issue. It's only with the 32bit plugins. I've first noticed this with the TT-Dynamic Meter 2 days ago and thought it was a CPU load issue as that was a have plugin project. Which was weird now that I think about it. Without it it didn't have pops and clicks. Right now, I literally have it on the master track of 3 tracks of a 4 Bar/Measure Drum loop im creating for a Sample Pack to sort out the Gain Staging, before processing them - and same thing happen. I had also tried it with a favourite MS Controller plugin and the same happens.

Cakewalk is having problem reading VST2 32bit plugins. It causes pops and clicks in all them. At first I thought it was a Bitbridge and Jbridge issue. Installed those - same problem. Are we fading those out?

Question I always ask: Why? When one can play them yourself with more creativity and flexibility?

You have to save the workspace with the template. You first save the workspace and then the template.

Project3.mp4 Project3.mp4 Still: Do that input echo off on all tracks. This works, it's always my fix to this problem. I don't know how and when this gets enabled when inserting an Instrument (My case with the TTS-1), but it happens. Project3.mp4 Project3.mp4

It's more than X3. The move will be guaranteed. The fun part is, you can install Cakewalk by Bandlab on top of Sonar X3 and have both X3 and CbB on your system. How about that sauce for you?

You've got the TTS-1 in there right? Turn off all the input echoes on the channels one by one manually. I've encountered this twice this month. It's always when I add the TTS-1. Not sure how and why it happened.

Is this a bug in the inputs?

Guess who is 36 this year and been using Cakewalk since 2010 independently. HipHop/EDM/House/Pop - I've done it all with this in the box. Fom chops, PitchShift, Scrooge Voices - you name it. Forgot whats the name of this round spinning thingy. ? Yeah, I should frame this!

The Inputs of a Send | Patch Point from an Aux or Audio Track dont seem to work. It doesn't force the Input to Mono as with Instrument tracks inputs. Wonder if this is a bug?

Try naming them (You can copy and paste this) Tascam 1L|Tascam 2R|Tascam 1S Make sure there are no spaces when you Split/Create the friendly names between the Pipe Symbol ("|") and the last character in your desired port names. Not sure about the instrument renaming ports.

This is exactly why I'm asking this. I go crazy with patch points. Anything from sidechain, isolating Drums/Vocals/Guitars or Reverbs. So this comes down to the actual question: Why does the patch have the LSR inputs but not from the send? Wont that make it more flexible? Meaning: Sending the channel straight to the L/R input from its send? It made sense at the time of asking myself this. (lol)

I think: I know the answer to this - I might be wrong too. Question: Why don't Cakewalk have Mono Sends? UPDATE: I know why this was on my mind. So . . . "The QUESTION should be: Why doesn't the Input of a Send or Patch Point force the signal to Mono?"

Being able to rename the ports - best improvement. Like the separator on the menu too.

Do we give feedback here? Great work Noel. ?

Some good advice back to you: "Dont read too much in what was said." Neither was i | NOR | am i what you made me out to be in your reply. "Emphasizing" the message explanation I gave is not being AGAIN: What you make me out to be. You're taking things out of context. So i'm gona ask for this Q&A to be closed. Have a good day.

Nothing whatbI said is WRONG. I've said it many times here - Cakewalk should not choose 16 tracks in the No of Tracks little box for us. It should just give 1 by default and let the user choose the amount of number of tracks they want. I know I didn't add screens shots of Split Tracks, but its mentioned. So no images here is wrong. The image above that say's wrong - thats what cakewalk is doing now and that is WRONG. The1st one (Correct) is how it needs to be display the inserts in both Instrument Per Out and Split. I do say that too.

Again: Why are those menus of relevant here when it's not mentioned here in the OP. Also, that +250 mentioned is on split tracks. Choose "SPLIT INSTRUMENT TRACK" quick and let us know what you get. No explanation will be necessary as I know how split tracks works. The point of this Q&A remains the same. Cakewalk should not do that - the user must choose. Right now it's working backwards. Upon choosing instruments per out OR "SPLIT" it starts at 16 instead on 1 on "Number of tracks" as default. Let's not unnecessary break this into another topic or make it difficult as the QUESTION here is clear as daylight.
