Im confused. What can’t you do with a simple instrument track that you can do with a split?? Im curious.

Yes the Steinberg driver has known issues with Sonar. You have to delete it in the RegEdit app. Look for Software/ASIO. Delete everything except your audio interface drivers. It’s OK to have other ASIO drivers for legitimate hardware as long as they are not connected. Example I have ASIO drivers for Motu, SSL and Zoom. But if you spot any 3rd party ASIO drivers like Magix or FL or Steinberg delete them. MIDI drivers don’t interfere with your audio. Not that this is the cause of your problem but it’s still best to eliminate any known issues when troubleshooting.

While this might be true for you, please don't make the assumption that there no uses of, benefits for, and workflows that depend on, having so called "split tracks," including on occasion splitting and combining the parts of hybrid tracks, etc. Thanks.

Im not sure what you mean by “ Configure” button? As I said all I needed to do was go into the mixer for the drum vst and re- assign each channel to a different output. I choose to use only 6 of the 32 available. Then you add the new tracks and choose the channel you want as track inputs. It’s very simple. This works perfectly for me using SSD 5, Mondo drums and Addictive drums. As well as it is the same in 2 other Daw’s that I use. To create a track template I first created a special project that has my Buses and a limiter on the master. This is saved as a project template just for creating track templates. Then I inserted the drum VST as a stereo track. I had saved the 6 output set up as a preset in SSD5. This is the Simple Instrument Track for the midi data . Using the add track/ Audio tracks/ advanced mode to choose the Drum Bus as output I inserted 5 Audio tracks. I assigned the 5 other inputs and named and coloured them I created a folder and saved this as a Track Template. So in the folder is the drum vst track and 5 more output audio tracks. The first output uses the VST track. Now if I want the 6 outputs I just use the template. If it was an older project that was using a different drum vst I then drag the midi to the new track template folder and remove the old synth.

@Starship Krupa Yes absolutely the way it was made no common sense. Sonar is the only Daw Im aware of that has the two types of instrument tracks. There is actually no reason I can think of to have the split tracks. For me I think it was I started using them because it must’ve been the default back in 2005. The day I discovered the simple instrument track I immediately started using that. They had an opportunity the eliminate the split track when they re did new Sonar. They seem to prefer leaving old bits behind instead of updating them and removing the old ones. Over time this bad habit has made for a 2,000 page user manual and I think we have 6 or 7 ways to add an instrument track and even then that has a dozen options. You really don’t see that anywhere else.

Thank you, I do like a fretless bass so much more organic.

Who sang for you Steve? Mix works here.

Kilkenny is a city in County Kilkenny, Ireland. It is located in the South-East Region and in the province of Leinster. It is built on both banks of the River Nore. The 2022 census gave the population of Kilkenny as 27,184, the thirteenth-largest urban centre in Ireland. Source Wikipedia. Mix works here Bjorn, has a certain Irish lilt to the melody, though probably early evening before the infamous Kilkenny beer starts to flow.

Nice. Showtime, Pulteq, and Oxide are the only in that list I don't have. Might pickup a repeat for the extra authorization. EDIT: checked first and realized I already had Showtime Amp and I'm good on authorizations (3 is so nice!) so I picked up the Pulteqs.

Okay, I need to set something straight here, as I got a fact wrong about a line of virtual instruments that I really like. Chromaphone is NOT the only A|A|S synth that lets the user mark favorite patches. There is a valid reason that I got it wrong, which is that the synths' UI's differ and it can be difficult to find whatever they are calling the preset manager. I've been using them more in the past few days, and poking at them more. As I discovered, 3 of them actually allow the user to set favorites among the zillions of presets. That amounts to less than half the line if you count Player, which a lot of people use. Details, in order of modernity: Chromaphone 3 has the most contemporary UI and has the ability to mark favorites. Ultra Analog VA-3's editing panels still party like it's 2015, but the front-facing UI looks similar to Chromaphone 3, complete with a similar browser that allows marking favorites. Lounge Lizard EP-5 has most elements of the newer look, including being able to mark favorites, but it varies from the above in that you click on a button labeled "Library" in order to open the view that the others call "Browser." There aren't as many editing options with this one anyway, Multiphonics CV-33 has elements of the new UI but as far as I can tell, only has a list of patches, not the full-featured browser that the above 3 have, missing the very important (to me) ability to mark favorites. String Studio VS-3 has the old "Session" style UI, but it does have a browser that allows you some of the category sorting that the other newer browsers do, but no favorites and the browser is hard to find, the button for it is just an unmarked down arrow next to the previous/next patch buttons. Strum GS-2 looks and functions like Strum Session, except it can also load soundpacks. No favorites here either. It's the one most in need of a UI refresh. Overall it looks like they got the Chromaphone 3 UI just like they wanted it, then transplanted elements of it down the rest of the line never making it down to Strum GS.

There are some fun thing coming up, but it takes time. In the meantime, another weekly jam in the studio. Would you believe this is number 150?! Pretty crazy if you ask me. Anyway, enjoy!

Mic Parts has interesting ideas for mic upgrades, and an interesting business model (people love to customize and upgrade our stuff) but they really undermine their credibility with the $99 IEC cable. Kinda makes me wonder if their prices on other things are inflated. The idea of "Compared to stock AC power cords or even premium cables at similar or higher prices, NRG-X cables have always delivered enhanced bass definition, improved transient articulation, greater soundstage scale, and more of the precious spatial cues that bring recorded music to life." Some of this is due to "Direction-Controlled Long-Grain Copper (LGC) in a Semi-Solid Concentric Topology." Are they implying that they somehow found a way to make a copper wire conductor directional? This would be an odd thing to have in an IEC cable, because IEC cables carry alternating current....

Something I had forgotten about and had not checked for a while. Is the amount of documentation in other languages in both the NI Documents and Instrument folder. Including PDF manuals in other languages other than you own. Just cleared out over 500mb of wasted space.

8.8? Running out of numbers. Kontakt 9 soooooooon. The milkening will continue.

Is the RME RayDat the only audio driver installed and enabled on your system? Did Cubase install any audio driver (like Steinberg's universal ASIO driver) Is the RME RayDat driver a true ASIO driver and not a wrapper (or an ASIO4ALL like variant?) The way to tell if you are using native ASIO: While playing an audio Sonar project inside Sonar, adjust the Windows volume (via windows taskbar volume). If the volume does NOT change, then you are very likely using native ASIO. I am going to assume that you have uninstlalled and reinstalled the RME RayDat drivers (update if necessary).

One more information: I also use NI Maschine, Ableton Live and a LE Version of Cubase. They are on the same PC and they are all working properly. And: I have a bunch of Midi-Devices connected to the computer. Are there any known problems with several installed Midi drivers (from Arturia, Roland, Korg, Steinberg, and so on) together with Sonar?

I "only" use the MS protection and uninstalled Norton. I also deactivated ths MS protection. Thanks, but this didin´t help to solve my problem.

Yes, with all projects, including a new and fresh one. It doesn´t matter what content is within the project (audio, midi, vst, a mix of all). I had this problem, a while ago with CWbB and it disappered. Now I had it again after installing a fresh new Sonar. ASIO, 48kHz, 24Bit Thanks!

First many thanks! It doesn´t matter if any plugin is loaded or not. I tried a fresh and empty projects an it has the same effect... I use a RME RayDat with 256 buffer. Normally no problem... I checked the "On Stop Rewind" and it has also no effect.
