@shane it may be worth your time to do a fodum search, use chrome or other browser serach engine, Noel did an extensive explanation of how Sonar handles multi threading. Inparticular with regards to P & E cores and audio threads, not that this CPU has E cores. I am sure it applies to both win 10 & 11 but..... Do you have plugin load balancing enabled Having looked at the Intel Ark for your CPU it is classed as a Server CPU rather than workstation and its maximum clock is quite slow at 3.8 compared with modern 5.n + clock speeds. Whilst it has lots of available threads basic raw grunt is lacking compared to modern workstation CPU's.

You said "where can I read about this", if you don't understand that implies you want more information, it explains why you asked.

What additional information do you require @msmcleod has been quite detailed, he is also staff so should know what he is talking about.

@Canopus please correct the above to Sension Drummer 3, not Superior Drummer 3. If you click on the ... in the top right of your post you can edit your error. Superior Drummer 3 is a vastly Superior product made by Toontrack.

@Magic Russ historically SONAR cost between 60 to 450 to buy. The high valued versions came with a licenses, which you paid for in the cost, for a number of products. The Power dithering and Audio stretching algorithms being a couple of them. They were not free. Though they very generously did so for CbB, it is apparent they feel they can't no longer pay that licence fee for a product they are now providing free.

Read the forum, it works just the same as CbB except it is a cutdown/reduced functionality version of Sonar. If you had read the release notes you would have discovered that those functions in menus with a Crown next to them are only available in the full version. Again if you had read the release notes, there is nothing in the release notes that says you are going to be forced to do anything. This is just you trying to stir a muddy pot that does not exist as you seem so fond of doing. Just like CbB you will need to reactivate every 30 days, which is not unreasonable as it gives them data on how many people are using the free version regularly.

Unfortunately not it only holds a single sample.

@Jorge Tata Arias as I understand it cancel your current monthly, then when it should renew, renew as an annual. I don't know for sure as I never went with the monthly option.

Normally you would use a drum sampler.

@AB9 as @John Vere says you can set these in a Workspace. Either pick one, Workspace, make your changes and save the Workspace with a new name, or you can build a custom Workspace for yourself. Just remember if you make a change you must save it.

Are you saying the envelopes are bring reassigned between sessions. I have had envelopes become orphaned, but that has not happened in years now. Have you reported it support@cakewalk.com?

@Astraios have you viewd what other options exist. That indicates what you are editing, normally you would have selected it yourself, are you saying it is completely random?

Have you, @Heinz Hupfer tried opening in safe mode?

@John Vere to clarify SONAR X3 is part of the intellectual property purchased by Bandlab Technologies.

Ripple edit is designed to help move stuff. To move, say your entire project four bars, so you add a four bar intro. 1. Enable Ripple edit all. 2. From the project menus select insert time and measures. Place the now time cursor at the point you want to insert those 4 measures. 3. In the box enter 4, ensure all options are ticked, click OK 4. Disable Ripple edit all. (You will regret it if you don't)

@Al Murray first thing in Preferences deselect Zero MIDI controllers on stop or is it rewind can't remember, it is one of those. Do you actually have the correct Patch and Bank set in the Patch and Bank selection of the track in Sonar? If not there is just a chance it can reset to Patch 1 Bank 1. You have presumably add an instrument definition for the Juno?

The optimum way to do this is with Ripple edit. Either Ripple edit all, to move the entire project forwards or even backwards. Or Ripple edit selected. Slide does not always move automation.

@Amberwolf it clearly states in the bit you quote that Cakewalk Sonar and CbB will open Cakewalk WRK & CWP files which are the file extensions used for Cakewalk Projects. At no point do I say that the Projects created inbthe Web based app Bandlab can open Cakewalk WRK or CWP files. You also miss the fact that using the Cakewalk transfer app Cakewalk Sonar and CbB Projects can be opened in Bandlab as can Bandlab Projects be opened in Cakewalk Sonar and CbB.

Somewhat incorrect @Amberwolf Cakewalk Sonar and CbB will open any Cakewalk WRK or CWP file going back to the DOS days.

@WPP are you using the same template? This is not a problem I am seeing here.

Thank you sir, most kind.

@Dana Moore what size screen are you using. SONAR Platinum does not have variable size graphics screen? I am not sure how they can change during a session. Only Windows, the OS, has scalable text sizes. Are you talking about Cakewalk SONAR Platinum from 9 years ago? Or the new Cakewalk Sonar?

Thank you Sir.

Rabbit hole achieved! 😞

Thank you Nigel, I will take a TD association anytime, a constant inspiration. Synths used. Gforce Oberheim VST3, TVS Pro, OB-1, OB-X, SEM, OB-E(The eight voice) and drums the DMX. A little parallel compression from Boz Digital David Bendeth +10dB compressor, on a couple of voices, including the DMX. Some global reverb from Overloud's Breverb, all other FX and EQ stock Cakewalk Sonar or S-Plat.
