Im using window 10, and I have tried reapper ，cubase 5， cubase 8.5, have tried both desktop and laptop
have tried lynx hilo and axe io converters.
when I plug my guitar into the instrument input on axe io interface, and switch to direct monitor, I could hear a very beautiful guitar signal in my headphone.
while I open my Daw and without any fx, I thought the clean Di would sound the same. but Im wrong, the Signal in Daw is awful, dynamic and frquency are destroyed in a audible way. no cliping its not volume related, distorted in a digital way.
because there is a switch on the converter I could go back and forth between the direct monitor and daw monitor. So I 100% sure I hear the problem
and all play and listen to music through interface is without any issue.
I doubt something is wrong with my daw or computer or the connection with converter？do you have any experience
