It is also worth noting that even after importing the files that only showed the dotted line, even if I hit shift-F to fit the entire project in the screen, there was still nothing there, even at the far right where it should have been. Academic now, I suppose. Thanks again.

Scook, Dude! that totally worked. I didn't realize that I had that on. I must have defaulted to that after one of the updates. I just got all the files into the project just as I needed! Thanks so much. I remember the OG sonar forum being worth the price of admission alone back in the day. Thanks for the tip!!! Have a great day (evening) knowing you made some rando really happy today!

Hi all, I am trying to import a set of stereo-pair tracks into CBB. They were from a choral concert that I want to give the director, as a favor to a friend. They were just recorded from a Zoom H5 and successfully imported to my computer. I can play the files on the computer using the standard windows media player. (24 bit/ 44.1 kHz) When I create a new project and try to import the left track (or right) into track one using File/import audio/source folder... it just gives me a blank dotted line. There is no waveform preview and no audio data on playback... I tried going through the method above. I tried dragging and dropping from the open folder in a separate window to the tack I wanted it on; I even tried adding it from the default media pane preview/browser thing that comes up on the right of the screen in a default project. I'm still on windows 8.1... (I know...) Windows is as up to date as it is going to be at this point. It is a good Studio Cat rig that is barely taxed by large projects. I was able to import the files into Reaper with no problem at all, by the way...even though I have not used it in a few years. I just am way more comfortable with CBB/Sonar as I have been using it since version 4. (I still have the 1.5 inch thick paper manual too!) Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks Erik

I get that if I start CbB before turning on my audio interface. Then I have to go in and re-set the audio drivers in preferences. I just try to remember to turn the interface on first, so that CbB sees it on startup. Hope that helps.

UPDATE... He figured it out. His computer's screen resolution was set such that the audio preferences window was too large. The apply and ok buttons were both out of view. He ported his video to a larger screen using an hdmi cable and presto, there were the buttons. Now he can select the proper driver and all is well. He was switching the driver mode to ASIO before, but it would not stick as he was not selecting apply or ok. Just thought I'd let you all know.

Forwarded that link. Thanks.

Downloading the driver from the behringer support page for the device gets you the ASIO4all installer in your downloaded files folder. Maybe there is another driver? Is there a wasapi driver for the UMC? I didn't think to have him look for that option. Thanks

I will suggest he look for that. I don't think he's ever installed another interface, but it is worth checking for sure. Now that you mention it, I seem to remember that there was another version of asio4all he mentioned. Thanks!

Yup, did that. However, even though the ASIO type was selected, just as you show, the option was not there in either audio/devices about that menu. Really odd.

Hi all, I have a friend that is trying to use an interface (behringer UMC-22) on his laptop. He is running a newish HP laptop with win 8.1 that is up to date. He has downloaded and installed the ASIO4all driver. This is the driver that you down load from the behringer support page. It appears to install and and finish after going through the install wizard. However, once in CbB there is no option to select the asio4all driver in preferences. The output of the mains from within CbB is the hp onboard speakers. There is no option to set it to the UMC 22 or ASIO4all. We tried going to control panel/hardware and sound/audio and setting the default audio setup to the UMC/ASIO4all. That seemed to work as far as the computer was concerned. However, when in CbB the option to select that is still not showing up. Is there some known issue with installing ASIO4all? Maybe there are better drivers for the UMC-22? Thanks!

You said you had replaced 2 of the 3 preamp tubes. Did you do the power tubes as well? Those tubes are right next to the speakers and take a beating at high volume. Fender, unfortunately, took some cost cutting measures on those amps. If you are getting it serviced, make sure to have the big power resistors on the +/- 15 volt supply for channel switching checked out and re-soldered as necessary. They used solder as the means of mechanically securing two big power resistors. I've seen those solder joint crack, and when they do they get hot and can also arc, causing HUGE heat loads that can burn the board. If you are in there, you might as well swap out the electrolytic filter caps as well. Good ones (sprague atoms) will last 20+ years. I've seen the caps in the hot rods/deville fail after only a few years. Also, if you are in there, replace the plastic input jacks. Not only do the pin's solder joint to the board fail due to high stresses on insertion, the input bezel is supported by a little metal ring. These pop off and then the jack breaks. The solder joints on the power tube board should be re-flowed. These are under stress as well. I hope that helps.

I will try turning off auto start. Killing it in task manager was my only option. The UI came up as just a white, vertically oriented rectangle, with no graphics or link, or anything other than white. This is after I had established an internet connection. There was not even an option to close the UI as there was no X in the upper right of the UI. Opening task manager showed the application running. Killing that (assuming that was just the UI) did make the window go away. However when re-starting BA the white box is all I got. In task manager I saw three instances of BA running under processes. Killing the application, and all three processes is what finally allowed the proper UI to load. I only ever run BA when connected to the net. I agree, there is no reason to run BA is there is no internet connection.

Update. Jbridge seems to have solved the issue. I was using the latest version of Crunchessor as well. Re-scanning and re-inserting the VST seems to have solved that aspect. I will replace the 32 bit plugs as I go along. I keep my machine off the net, unless I am downloading updates. I guess I'll have to kill bandlab assistant in task manager each time before I go to update, so I can start it with an internet connection. Thanks all!

Yeah, my newer project typically only use the vst3 or 64 bit plugs. However, when I open an older project to show somebody, or work on it, it would be nice if I didn't have to go safe mode and delete the errant plug. At least I'm not using dx plugs.

Thanks, do I need to run it first outside of the DAW to make it the default wrapper? Or do I have to click the "use jbridge" option in the plug in manager for each vst that needs it. I know that is probably a basic question, but this is the first Ive heard of jbridge... Thanks!
