My 10 year old Dell desktop (i5 core processor/32 GB RAM/ Windows 11) recently bit the dust. I have replaced it with a new i5 computer, 16 GB RAM, Windows 11 Pro. Fortunately all of my existing projects were stored on an external USB hard drive. Through the Command Center I downloaded and installed Sonar Platinum then installed paid Sonar from the Cakewalk Product Center. I also installed many of the third party instruments and plug-ins that were on the deceased computer. I may not have yet gotten every one of the previously installed third party components installed yet as I am trying to determine what was there. Anyway, there are a number of existing projects that will not open in the new instance of Sonar. If I try to open them by browsing from the start screen some of them will scan vst's then say the project has been opened before returning to the Start Screen with no project open. Others will begin to scan vst's and then close Sonar entirely. If I try to open a project from Windows Explorer with Sonar open, after about 5 seconds Sonar will close. There are a few existing projects that will open but I have not been able to determine a pattern of what will or will not open. I have tried about 15 different projects, all .cwp files. 3 of them opened the rest did not. I probably have 50 or 60 projects total. The experience with Sonar Platinum is about the same, even with projects that originated in Sonar Platinum. I have created a few small projects on this current computer and those open and close as expected. These only have a couple of audio tracks and an instance of EZ Drummer. Any ideas on what I have missed or solutions I might try? Thanks.

I wish I could laugh but I guess I'll not do even a budget system build. There will always be excuses but eventually later investigations will see the root of it as intentional price gouging. It's happened with eggs. Yet the stuffed shirts think the corporate world without the consumer market will keep them afloat they will eventually find out. I have to wonder what Apple users will pay since they overprice upgrades. Another danger is lower cost but poor quality will enter that market. We will be going back to leaking capacitors again.

Same problem here. After perfectly working for some time, I can no longer open BandLab projects in CakeWalk Next or Sonar as a matter of fact (unable to download revision ...). Have reported this to support and hope that we can fix this soon.

Just learned about this thing via this post .... but two notes pedigree speaks for itself ...

https://www.vegascreativesoftware.com/us/vegas-pro/#id-order-boxes-section I wonder what that means. It seems there's confusion and maybe independence since the Boris takeover. For me confused.

Appreciate it @FreeEarCandy!

i recently opened product centre to see if there was any update for Sonar. i hit the refresh icon just before product centre opened and was greeted by the screen shown its this a bug or something else...??? If i hit "Yes" it just closes..... Second time it shows a Sonar update icon???

I'm wondering the same thing too. I currently run a 2019 MBP with Windows 10 through Boot Camp. It would be nice to know if there's an upgrade path going forward.

DAWs are designed to explicitly control audio routing, so in most cases people don't want it react on hot-plugging events (except for MIDI... so DAWs tend to detect new MIDI device is connected). ASIO / WASAPI can't (and shouldn't) switch by design, they are "too close" to the hardware (and depends on property of particular device). So what is asked in technically feasible for driver mode which provides "Windows default output device" (that is the one which is switched, by OS, if possible). And people rarely use indirect audio with DAWs (latency and potentially extra processing which modify the sound). I can't test right now if in MME it is possible to set "default" device as output. If not, may be some "virtual audio" software support s"Window default" as the output and so will do the trick (Sonar will always output to that "virtual" device and virtual device will follow Windows output).

File name extensions for known file types are generally hidden in Windows. Changing the file type can really screw things up if done wrong. It can't hurt to show them just to confirm you have the right file, and then hide them again. Here is how I would show file name extensions in Windows 11. First select the file and then click the appropriate menu item to show file name extensions.

@quattj Yes it sucks that for some unknown reasons they not only removed access to MSWavetable but as well Cool Soft Virtual midi synth is also not available. Why?? And you are lucky that you do have the TTS-1 as new users don’t. With the long history that Cakewalk had as one of the best Daw’s for midi users they have now taken a few steps backwards. No TTS-1 No Connection to on board GM midi players For new users wanting instant playback the only option that Im aware of is to purchase VST Soundfont for 15 Euros.

meh..........only tempting deal was yesterdays. BTW you would be stunned by the disk space of their 2.0 libraries. No developer does anything to reduce disk space other than releasing a lite version.

so i been having this same issue when im recording vocals that same code comes up. am i supposed to delete that aud file? even though it doesnt say aud.ini? i cleaned up all my files from the clipboard and most of my songs are on a portable hard drive

Simplest way to find and run this is to start typing "modules manager' in the windows 11 start (probably the same in 10). And click on it when it appears.

Yes, this is the issue I am referring to. I edit on my laptop. I have no other hardware attached for recording, performing, or anything else. I open a MIDI file that has been created and edited with various other pieces of software. I use Cakewalk/Sonar to trim and fade my files after most of the work is done elsewhere. My synths are softsynths. Typically, when I'm editing MIDI files, that is not the only thing I am doing on my laptop. And I'm not always at home, and I am not always where I can just have my audio blaring for some quick edits. And I have to manually select my "listening" output if I plug in or remove my headphones while using Sonar. Additionally if my headphones are the last thing used when I quit, and I don't have them plugged in next time, then I get a warning about a missing audio device. With any other application in my system, by using Coolsoft VirtualMIDISynth with a custom assortment of soundfonts. With Cakewalk 2022, prior to my forced upgrade to Sonar a few weeks ago, also via Coolsoft VirtualMIDISynth. This followed my system audio settings. I never had to manually assign my listening output, because it was handled by Windows. Sadly, with Sonar, my only "quick" option to hear MIDI without having to manually assign a VST to everything is TTS-1. These are strictly MIDI files and are never save as a Cakewalk/Sonar project file.

Good question. I was thinking the same thing when I saw this. It would seem that it is the processor core being used by the plugin. If so it would be valuable if it also told you which core that was.

Sorry about that Fjz...I forgot to put the discount code in the post

It shows up as $99.99 for me.

Thank you @Base 57 @Bristol_Jonesey &. @57Gregy for testing those. If all 3 of you had no problems then that would then confirm that it’s this particular computer. But Base57 is experiencing what I am seeing. Sometimes I can get as far as the project opens but when I hit the space bar or click on anything it crashes. So they are on the edge. Could you guys check the Pro Channels and see if the EQ is there. in particular Base57 and Hey Baby in Safe Mode. If I open in safe mode it always shows all the active pro channel modules as labeled “Unknown “. And after it opens when I open the pro channels there is no EQ, it is all blank. That’s not possible. These projects are not mission critical they are just backing track projects that have all been finished and exported. But I was hoping to back them up as midi files which I still can do by using safe mode. It’s just that it makes me not really trusting Sonar with future projects. I submitted a ticket to the AI with these projects attached. I tried to submit a few mini dumps but it kept saying the connection was taking too long?? I will wait for an actual person to respond. I will also try re installing the C++ stuff if I can find it again. Thanks once again I appreciate your help.
