Hi....I have a weird problem that I've never encountered before.
I'm using Sonar X1 Producer 64 bit (RME Baby Face interface) and I just exported a tune to my desktop as a stereo wave file.
When I play the tune using Winamp or Windows Media Player I'm hearing distortion.
I then went back and pulled my master down about half the volume and exported it again but
for some reason it's playing at the same volume and still distorting.
I even imported the wave file back into a new Sonar project and see the meters still peaking .
The only thing different I notice about this project is when I check the outputs of each audio track
which are outputted to ASIO Fireface USB Analog 1 (1) and I click the drop down menu I see
about 14 items saying "Track Compressor (input 2) and the name of the track.
I've never seen this before in any other projects.
Does anybody know what is happening ?
Your help would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
 

Try routing all of your tracks/buses through a master bus in SONAR. The master bus should be the only track/bus feeding the main output of the audio interface. This should help with getting the output level set correctly.

  

Thanks so much Scook you saved my ass ! It worked like a charm.
Cheers

You are welcome. Glad it worked for you.  The Normal.cwt (the default template for new projects) is delivered from Cakewalk with a master bus already defined. If you prefer to use a different template or use a completely empty project template, it is easy to add a master bus by adding a new stereo bus, right-click on the bus and select "Set as Default Bus". Every track and bus created after the master bus is defined will automatically be routed to it.
