I'm adding to what Chris said. There's are still third party pirate companies that creates their own "exe" files with hidden apps and updates to that hidden product on an owned product. These apps hide their existence on devices by removing their icons from home screen. Example: I was testing out another free vst, which I saw on a pop-up advertising link through a site I was on. I downloaded the file, but it asked me to download an anti-virus software first, boy did it caused problems on my laptop (always test things on it first before I officially install in on the studio system) I then for the original site to that plugin and I got a clean install there. But we all know it's impossible to search the entire World Wide Web for these copies.

Original installation - no-nara! you have a clean install. The problem comes in with 3rd party websites that creates their own install with some free vsts - with an advertising link to an App they offer that you have to install first, before you can install the actual product. I think you have to include this on the site.

It seems like cakewalks main focus is on Articulation at the moment. The tempo event need some major upgrades as well. A better way to draw in the differences is much needed as it is way out-dated. There's no snap settings on it for stability. So if you don't have the patients, it'll definitely fry some brain cells with frustrations on a bigger screen. Request to draw the differences in by selecting a region and move up or down to set your tempo directly with displaying the envelope on the clip itself.

I've experiment with this and it was awesome! Love the dynamic range and headroom, but I kinda miss the distortion with 24bit. It helps to shape the sound for me. Though this will be an advantage to CbB - your listeners wont know the difference. I say add it for those who want it, but don't need it. For me 24bit - 48000Khz sample rate brings the candy.

Those are the only two I use daily. I too find TX16wx to be powerful, but it can definitely get complicated. For me simplicity is key and powerful.

A really simple Hybrid: Dropzone+Sitala. Drum Machine+"phrase sampler." Cakewalk already has a browser. So we dont need what kontakt and the others do with samples and folders. Drag and Drop, Right Click to send to Track View to replace or insert as new. Attack, Release and pitch and ability to play across all key's and send to piano roll. 8 Drumpads included with their own Output setting that links with the Console. Cakewalk provides reverse and effects and a great browser already. Other features can be added later.

Ha ha! True. What's been working for me over the years and from personal experiences, is to look at what is build for high performance today - that would be gaming computers, right? They're design to take the punch and for me it has always been the "MSI" brand - just me 2 cents. Blessings to you and your family over the holidays.

Was about to report back on that. It seem as if we've hit the wall. The only thing I can think off right now is - pack up the 3.0 cable and use the 2.0 cable and port. You dont have a issue with the drivers from microsoft? Another solution I can think of right now, is if you buy a 2.0 to 3.0 converter USB HUB. Or The internal card.

Do you know something we don't ??

Yeah. Are you still considering the hardware?

Okay - this is what I stumbled on so far. "Your motherboards drivers stops at Windows 8.1." However . . . I is fixable with a Bios and Firmware update, but - I highly do not recommend you to do this and discourage you from ever thinking to try it! if you've never done this before. This will destroy your PC and you'll have to replace your bios chip. Yep I used to be in I.T

This problem stand out way more than any other issues in discussion at the moment. That's why my focus are locked in on this. The only solution that worked for me, was the drivers from the manufacturer's website.

What's the brand and model number of your motherboard?

But if you say the problem goes away when you unplug the Interface (by the way I'm jealous of it ?) or, when you plug it in to a USB 2.0 port, that shouts "connection" issue - not so? Update your USB ports - all of them, and let's take it from there again.

There you have it. USB 2.0 cable goes in 2.0 USB port And . . . USB 3.0 cable goes in 3.0 USB ports. (Requires Windows 10.) Have you tried to update you ports drivers on windows 10?

Exactly why I chose to mention it in my OP. Cakewalk could then fuse with Loop Construction with it. But if theres a new release dropping soon with this included it wont be necessary to add features - it can just be intergrated.

@Noel Borthwick Would you be interested in reaching out?

It this doesn't happen on USB 2.0 ports - That means you're using the USB2.0 cables. Double check and make sure you're using the USB 3.0 cables for 3.0 ports that came with it. Tascam USB20X20 USB3.0 comes with both USB3.0 cables and USB2.0 cables. Also check if you dont have a forgotten Asio4All drivers installed on you system still. Both my Scarlett and Twin had problems having both interface drivers and Asio4All drivers on the system.

7-zip can help with this.

This is lost in argument. I don't even know what my original question was anymore.

From 0db up to the highest DB on the meter reading. In cakewalk this goes up to 6db - that's your headroom.

I dont know.

And B.I.N.G.O just came out to play. This is it. You've answer my arguement. This was the first thing that came to mind days before I entered this forum. Which i've said/asked many time in my replies. Gibson might have never worked on this - "This" being the processing chain signal coding on their mix engine.

But here is the thing. I never said The "DAW's" sound different - all I asked was why are these plugins more sensitive with their settings in Reaper. Go read read my first Post The reverb sounded more darker projecting a "fuller" sound - in Cakewalk there's a roll-off in the low end of the reverb and boost in highend giving it a thinner-but-shimmering "aka" gloss/air sound to it. Compression are more sensitive. So basically what I'm asking, is - Does this have to do with the headroom differences between the two? Cakewalk db boost goes up to +6db, where reaper is at 12db boost. My question never reflected on a which daw is better. I keep saying Cakewalk was the DAW I learned on at varsity with Avid. At the time Cakewalk made Waves above Avid in professional studio's. 2008/09. I remember receiving articles on this because of it being Strictly Digital Based - if my memory serves me right it was with Sonar Studio or Producer 8.5. Then came x1, but studio's moved away when x2 introduced the many Audio Dropouts. So why would I start a DAW war when it's my Go-To DAW. If the Mix engine are still Digital based - than obviously things will be unique in their own way. Though, I cannot ignore the fact that hearing is in fact true. My ears don't lie ?
