Thanks all. Yes, I am just going to add an audio track to an already edited video. I installed the new free tier SONAR and the video view worked. So I think I am good to go. by resolution I meant seeing what was going on well enough to know when to place words, phrases. With just thumbnails, there would be no way to see exactly when things were happening or changing. Thanks again all for chiming in.

Thanks Colin, I might have to do that once I do some upgrading. That could be a relatively simple work around. Thanks for the other free program suggestion as well.

I'm thinking I need to upgrade tot he free tier of Sonar anyway, as I see the CbB is on the way out soon. Does anyone know if the new version of Sonar will support video?

Hi all, It has been a while since posting. I'm still on CBB versions 2024.10. I have a short video that I want to put some words to. I need to have the words synced to the video. I was able to import the MP4 video into a track and can turn the video thumbnails on and off in the track lane. However that does not give me the "resolution" I need to place the words correctly. I tried opening video view from the right click context menu, and nothing happened. Help says to go to Views-Video to open the view. However, I don't see that option. It also said to hit ALT-SHIFT-2. Again, nothing happens. Any ideas? Thanks, Tubeydude.

UPDATE... I tried copying the link in the popup browser (firefox) window and pasting it into running window of Edge. Even though it said Edge was no longer supported, it brought me to the login page and I successfully activated the newest version. So if anyone is having this issue with an 8.1 machine and firefox browser, give it a shot. Thanks

UPDATE... see the nest post. Hi all, I installed the newest version, and when prompted to activate, I went to help and tried to sign in. I was directed to a page on my browser (firefox). There was nothing but a blank page. This is on my windows 8.1 machine. (fully updated running on an 8 core i5 machine) It seems to work fine on my windows 10 machine. Is the newest version compatible with 8.1? Maybe just the login part is not working? I have been realizing that I will likely need to update that machine soon, but was hoping to get more life out of it. Any ideas or suggestions? Thanks.

I am also trying to activate the newest version. I try to log in after I go to the help menu, and I get directed to a blank page with only "By using Bandlab you agree to our terms and conditions..." on the bottom. There is nothing else on the page. Is there something I am missing? The newest version installed and opens, but it says I need to activate it.

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!
