Hello folks,
Long time Sonar user, infrequent poster here. I am experiencing several strange issues that I have yet to find an answer for. First of all, I must say that overall my experience is that Cakewalk By Bandlab is pretty stable, despite the issues I am posting about.
(1) I am wondering what "setting" controls the the volume of a Loop as it being auditioned in the Media Browser? When auditioning Drums on Demand loops, the loops sound great, but the volume is VERY loud and does not appear to be controlled by the MOTU 1248. However, when importing the drum loop into a track, the overall loop volume decreases dramatically, but at least at this point the loop's volume can be controlled. And, I must say, the "fidelity" (for lack of better word) of the loop suffers as well. BTW, I believe I confirmed that there were no FX anywhere that would affect the volume of fidelity of the drum loop. There is just a big difference in how the drum loop "sounds" in the Media Browser vs. after being imported into a session.
Any thoughts?
(2) Over the past few years I have experienced that a Track, be it regular track, AUX track, or BUSS, will work correctly for a period of time before going "bad", meaning that the track ceases to process whatever signal is sent to it. All tracks around it work, all routing is confirmed as correct, the track just ceases to work. So far, the remedy is just to create another track, configure as needed, move the .wav if necessary, and it works again. Takes all of 15 seconds to fix, but the mystery intrigues me - why would this happen?
Has anyone else seen this behavior? Any ideas? I appreciate any response.
Thanks!
Dono
