And even more hopefully, one that is equipped with native ASIO drivers and not some $50 piece of junk

You should really consider shutting Windows down completely. Don't simply put it to sleep.

Try lowering your buffer when recording. Raise it again when mixing or playing

You can also select the output drop down on the track and choose Stereo Bus

Technically, you need to route the Outputs of the guitar tracks to the guitar bus - don't use a send As Bass Guitar said above - you put compressors on each track. If you want to add bus compression as well, just use the Bus Pro Channel or the Fx bin You don't *send* them anywhere. But be wary of using too much compression, especially if your compressors offer a ratio control. The effect of ratio on a signal is mulrplicative, not additive. So if your 2 compressors have their ratios set to 5:1 the overall effect is 25:1

Takes me back. I used to use Goldwave when I was still exporting MP3's My current workflow means I now export.wav exclusively

Phase Scope with Pre/Post level meters:

Following what Jonathan said above takes you to this page:

Well you do not need dithering on unless you're reducing bit depth. You're exporting at 24 bit, so if the project is at 24 bit then turn dithering OFF It might not solve your problem but you will have eliminated a possibility

Show us a screenshot of your Export settings

If my memory aerves me correctly, there were 2 different versions of Breverb One was a dedicated Pro Channel module and the other was a standard vst. Are you getting the same problem with both versions?

Opened the first one without issue on my Win 11laptop apart from the missing plugin warnings. It let me play it and close it.

Depends on how far you want to go with this. As a minimum, I would do this: Do a "save as" to a new location with a new name. This will only copy the audio actually used in the project Render all soft synths down to pure audio. This negates the possibility of a plugin not working or being available in the future You could do the the same with Fx plugins. Either render the Fx or freeze the tracks Make multiple backup copies and save to unique locations, including removable drives for storage, preferably offsite
