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 ?

Yep. I always do this. ? I've checked for these too. I have my fair share of knowledge. Try it yourself. Write down the level the moment you hear the threshold work in cakewalk and do the same in reaper. Free Compressor I've tested with https://www.tokyodawn.net/tdr-feedback-compressor-2/ Free reverb I tested with. http://www.lesliesanford.com/vst/plugins/ And . . . https://u-he.com/products/protoverb/

Well aware of that, Thanks. "PAN LAW." Now onwards to why the same reverb sounds fuller in reaper and thinner/sharper less analogue in CbB.

No one said reaper or studio one sounds better than Cakewalk. I'm talking about plugins - don't mix the two. When someone talks about DAWs sounding different, I immediately think of Audio quality when recording or using a samples. If someone tells me plugins are more sensitive and sound different in this daw - I immediately think of headroom space. Dont turn this discussion in to a "DAW War" thread - cause this is clearly not what this is about. If cakewalk's mix-engines (not playback engines) are still strictly digital signal based from the 90's it's signal based.

We do this with "7-Zip." We zip the files in 3 folders - with each subfolder "zipped." To help you understand. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.howtogeek.com/178146/htg-explains-everything-you-need-to-know-about-zipped-files/amp/

Mine is true 0 balance. Also "Panning" laws and Send Levels are two different things.

Really now? You're going there? If there's a noticeable difference in other daws with effects - theres a noticeable difference! They sound fuller - point! NO ARGUMENT THERE! No one spoke of using stock plugins with this. The only "Bias" person with the "Placebo effect" here, is you with your response. Everyone else are discussing this with an open mind going through the history of cakewalk. Cause the way these MeldaProduction plugins sounds in Reaper and Studio One are the same and fuller than what it sounds in Cakewalk. I've tried different other plugins too.
