Or reassign it to another key combination (I have set mine to ALT+F1)

Depends on your keyboard layout. If Ctrl + / doesn't work, you have to test some other key combination. For instance, for me, having a Scandinavian keyboard layout, I have to press Ctrl + ' to open Cakewalk Assist.

I tried your recipe and new Assist feature worked fine on my PC. For me, the Go to Time module did open, I was able to type in the destination time and was able to go there.

Thanks Wolf. But if you don't mind me asking, what the hell led you to this old thread? 😄

Thanks for the feedback guys. And fwiw, I do understand the subtleties of tone. I've been tone chasing with my guitars & amps since the mid 80's. I understand how component variations can affect tone & response. However, there's a lot of snake oil with that too. For instance, the tube industry makes a ton of money based on all the tube brand hype. When it's a fact that the transformer and speakers are WAY more important to tone. But of course the tube industry has no incentive to set that record straight. Just the opposite, they help perpetuate the hype because it generates more money for them. As far as plugins, esp eqs & compressors, I personally believe there's a lot of hype & BS with it. Plus, these companies aren't stupid. They know that most of their customer base is addicted to shiny new software (like drug fiends looking for their next fix 😵‍💫 ). I believe a lot of home musicians keep convincing themselves that the latest hyped up plugin will inspire them more and will equate to better music making. I'm actually very familiar with this way of thinking from teaching guitar for decades. I'd say that about half of my students were this type. They kept thinking that the next amp, next pedal or next guitar would magically make them sound better and would inspire them to want to practice more. But almost without fail, those were the same guys who rarely became good musicians. And no matter how much I tried to help them shift their priorities, it was almost always a waste of my breath. It was clear to me that their drug was mainly in aquiring more cool equipment and just holding onto the dream of one day getting better. My best students were the guys who's main focus was growing at their craft. And to this day, they can play a cheap guitar thru a cheap amp and make it sound good. Btw, Don't get me wrong, I like nice plugins too. But when I find something that works for me, I have no desire at all to keep looking for the next best thing. And you will never, ever, ever catch me spending $300 on a f*cking EQ plugin (even if you tell me it came straight from a unicorn's ***** 🤣). In fact you won't even catch me buying one at all. I'm very happy with the few free eqs I have. But hey, to each his own. If someone gets their kicks from buying expensive plugins, more power to them. That's def not me though. Besides, I'm confident that if Quincy Jones had made Thriller using all stock Cakewalk plugins, it would still be a great sounding album. Having good ears and knowing how to really use the equipment/software that you already have is SO much more valuable than having expensive plugins. But I know you guys already know that. Cheers 🍻

I'm pretty sure I registered BIAB but no joy here. I have been struggling with car repairs and not had much time for anything else.

Interesting enough I’ve done absolutely nothing and there is still no new driver but I thought I would try the Motu again and it seems to now work fine?? Possibly a Windows update fixed what it originally broke?? Anyway it’s great to have it working again. Cross my fingers

Also, if you are dealing with mono audio (vs stereo), you can turn on snap to grid, turn off Musical Time, switch from Move By to Move To, and turn on just Audio Zero Crossings in the landmarks, and use max Magnetic Strength. I don't know what the snap dialog looks like these days, but in my ancient version these settings make it relatively easy to avoid clicks from non-zero-crossing cuts of audio clips; if for whatever reason I didn't cut at one to start with I can just slip edit until it "gets sticky" and let go and it will be where it needs to be. Unfortunately with stereo clips it's not very often that both channels have a zero crossing in exactly the same place, so this trick doesn't really work very well for those.

If you Googled “Is DX still supported “ the top answer is that Microsoft no longer supports DX and due to that most Daw’s are moving away from DX. It is still working but will likely not be future proof. So it is not advisable to use DX in any new projects.

As said. The export dialogue is easy to overwrite any of the default presets. Just change it to your preferences and save it. I overwrite all of them. Ive reverted to using Platinum waiting for things to change from the Membership deal and that is possibly the biggest feature Im missing! You quickly learn how much they improved Cakewalk working with Platinum.

Awesome ! Thank you.

Testing Einstein's definition of insanity, I repeated the experiment, expecting a different result. This time the whole computer locked up.

I just locked up Sonar testing the new Assist feature. I opened it then typed in Go to Time, which showed up in the list. I clicked on it. aannnnnnddd...... Lockup. (Just Sonar. I am typing this with Sonar frozen in the background.) The Assist module went away but the Go to Time module did not open, and Sonar will not respond to anything.

Seems I got the wrong drivers from the wrong page. Trying the right ones now but something still weird. Cakewalk sees the right IN/OUT names but in Windows settings the different INs/OUTs have no names. . . just blank.

I have updated Product Center to try out the EA. Before I go on with that, I want to thank you guys for adding the Rollback tab. That is a step (back) in the right direction.

Just a heads up, we have introduced the Early Access program for Sonar. EA builds and related information can be found on Sonar’s Early Access sub-forum. When an Early Access build is available, you’ll see it in Cakewalk Product Center (v1.1 and above). You may also get in-app notifications in Sonar as well. We encourage you to check out the latest EA and provide any feedback you may have — thanks in advance!

Not a bad way to look at it too Brian. A lot of the freebies I already own anyway, but sometimes there are some good ones. Even just a few AAS packs recently were good to get and not bad value for things like that. I have stumbled across some decent articles and inspiration in the past, but I really haven't read enough of them (yet) to make an informed decision on that front.
