im really mad about this what can I do? is there a program that eliminates this or anything?

other than the bounce options and stuff....is your main stereo bus fader peaking out? if so, you'll probably have to just make a softer mix.

to me, just sounds like you have too hot of a mix and it's clipping when it gets mixed down to the stereo bus (i don't know about cakewalk but if you have something peaking in pro-tools, i know it won't clip the signal while you're doing it but just on playback.)

hope one of us is able to help you out.
