While Creative Sauce's tutorials are good, they don't go anywhere near as deep as the Groove3 tutorials.  He does however cover areas that the Groove 3 tutorials don't (e.g. Arranger, Articulation Maps, multi-output instruments etc), and also offers some very useful tips, so I would definitely recommend watching them.

All of the Groove 3 tutorials (both SONAR and CbB) are still very relevant. Obviously there are a few things that have been updated in CbB that will be different in SONAR (e.g. the Export Audio dialog), but 99% of the content is still relevant.

Streamworks Audio's SWA Complete SONAR X2  and SWA Cakewalk Sonar X3 - New Features videos although older, are free and just as deep as the Groove 3 ones, and are still more than 90% relevant.

 

100% agree. Nothing against creative sauce, I follow him on youtube, but I was sent to groove3 when I was a noob intern years ago (SONAR PE 6), and have recommended to people new to platform even during the CBB years. They really know their stuff.

Did you know you can drag the drum replacer track to a midi or instrument track? Then you undo the regional effect and carry on. You now have a midi track and can use better drum sounds to replace the audio. You can also Quantize it but leakage from other drum mikes often screws this up. 

That's a good tip. Thanks JohnnyV

Is it that you're having trouble  with fine adjustment, or something else?

When you hover over the red line, you should get a double-ended arrow indicating you can click and drag, and the offset time will be showing in the lower right corer of the sample display. It should default to 0 milliseconds. Adjustment with the mouse is admittedly pretty coarse and holding SHIFT dos not give fine control as it does elsewhere. I am able to get it back to 0.0 when dragged away, but I can't hit anything else between -1.8ms and +2.6ms. And there does not appear to be any other method of adjusting it or entering a value. 

Hey David, yeah that's it pretty much. The inability to fine tune that part of the process. If I move it from zero to try and get a tighter sync, I can't ever get it back, unless I remove the region effect as a whole and then start over.  It's a bummer cause I think drum replacer, sonically, is better than a lot of plugins that do the same thing.  I guess I'm just frustrated cause I've got something I need to get done.  Thanks for trying to help though.

Hey Guys,

I've been looking all over the forum and the old forums for sonar, and can't find an answer so hopefully someone here knows. I'm working on a project, and have drum replacer on a track. It's working as intended, but the playback is a bit off, but I can't get the sample head to lineup exactly with the sample start. Is there an easy way to get it to zero milliseconds? Thanks.  If anyone's wondering it's the section marked G on the manual in the drum replacer section.  Thanks!

I noticed I put this in the wrong section, sorry guys, I'll repost somewhere more appropriate.

Could just be my version of 11 but I liked 10 much better.  Now there's 12. 

12?! 😂

Edit the title with [SOLVED].

Windows 11 is a step backward from 10 IMHO.  One of it's "never before seen issues" was giving me a double listing of my harddrives. No idea why but a reboot and possibly a Device Manger cleanup fixed it.

It's funny because I run a powerful but pretty old rig, and windows ten was hell on it. As soon as I upgraded to 11 my rig came back to life. Knock on wood, besides yesterday, I hadn't had to many problems in the year or so I've been running it.  I've liked it so much, I'm thinking of getting a newer desk workstation.

Done  

Thanks @Lord Tim

Well I don't know how to close a thread or marked things solved, so maybe the mods can help me with that. Either way, I figured out what was happening. The duplicate folder thing is a non issue. Turns out that in windows 11 if you go to the cakewalk projects folder and click the link short cuts to your actual project drive, it keeps the letter c in the folder display.  In windows 10, this didn't happen to me. When I'd click through, it would show me the d drive.  Either way, it was the D drive, and there was no double saving of projects happening. The other thing that I discovered, which is why I went troubleshooting in the first place, is that the issue of not being able to save because the drive was "full" popped up because of audiosnap.  I had applied audiosnap to a section of audio, and that's when that problem of not being able to save popped up.  As soon as I disabled audiosnap on that specific clip, everything went back to normal.  Anyhow, just posting this in case anyone has the same issue happen to them, and maybe some bakers will become aware of the audiosnap issue.  Thanks to @Promidi for patiently trying to help yesterday.

I have a few Symbolic Links here and they show up as listed in both locations.

If you need to see a list of Symbolic Links on the C Drive, go to the command prompt and do a "dir /AL /S c:\" (without quotes)

Here is an example of how a folder appears on my PC after issuing that command

 Directory of c:\Users\Paul\Documents\My Pictures

 Fri 03 Sep 2021  04：13 PM    <SYMLINKD>     Phone Camera MX [D:\Data files\Samsungdata\Stock Camera]
               0 File(s)              0 bytes

Note the 0 bytes occupied on the C drive.  The physical space is occupied on the D drive.

In my specific example, the physical location of this folder and contents is D:\Data files\Samsungdata\Stock Camera 

where as it shows on the C drive as  c:\Users\Paul\Documents\My Pictures\Phone Camera MX

Thanks for trying to work this out with me. I get what you're saying, but in my case there is identical audio data files being written to both. I double checked this. It's not just a folder with a structure that's otherwise empty. Their identical down to the last edit.  I honestly don't know what could've changed for this to happen.

Are you meaning Symbolic Links? (can also be done with MKlink commands)

Yes, mklinks. When I had set them up originally, it worked great. Nothing was being written to my os.  I just checked again, and I confirmed it's writing identical copies of the same project to both os and external drives.   It's driving me nuts cause I don't like doing anything to the os drive and seeing the amount of gigs written to it is raising my blood pressure!

Hey guys.  A long time ago I setup my folders in cakewalk to point to an external drive.  I used a method that @scook put up here somewhere where you use a powershell and point to the drive you want. Now that's worked great for me for literally years, but today while working on a session it wouldn't save, and kept saying my drive was full. So I ran a check on all my drives and they all came up ok. Then I started poking around, and I noticed that my projects where being written to both my external drive and my internal os drive. I've never seen this happen before.  My last session shows up as last worked on today in both drives in the exact same location.  When I tried re-doing the Scook powershell trick, it told me it already existed. How do I get it to stop writing in both places? This is sort of driving me nuts to be honest.  Any help with this will be really appreciated.

Hey Ewoof, 

If you're willing to pay, you'd probably be better off checking out the engineers at soundbetter . com.  There are literally mixers from all over the globe, and ranging from different experience levels and price points.  It lets you filter out by genre, experience, price etc, so you can really narrow it down to what your looking for.  After that, you can do research on people you've liked on google if you want to hear more of their stuff.  I personally think it's a good service, but you'll have to try it and see if it fits what you're looking for.   Good luck.

Very good vocals as always. I think it could use a slight boost in the bass frequencies, otherwise good.

Thanks KSband, really appreciated!f  Second time here someone's mentioned the bass thing. I've got crap monitoring, but I'll try and keep that in mind for next time, thanks.

like this - great vocals and good track

just to clarify, I hate Spotify and if I didn't have to use them I never would,  ever again!! i think last time i ever bothered to check, we were getting   0.0004 cents per stream - so a thousand streams is worth, yes 4 cents - or perhaps even less.

Hey Nigel, I understand how you feel, and personally, I agree, but it's where people are currently, so I just deal with it.  I don't have a following like that, if I did, I'd use my own website.

I'm sorry Jack C, I didn't quite understand, am I not allowed to share Spotify links? If that's the case, I apologize, I didn't know.

This is my most recent track. It's latin pop, I know not everyone's thing around here, but I do everything in cakewalk, and thought I'd share. 

Edit: Made some changes to the post as per suggested by folks in the forum.  Thanks guys.
