Was the Saturate price a mistake? I see $49 at pluginboutique
 

Sent in my opinion as well.

I submitted my preference

VSTs and VSTi are not recognized after upgrading to the latest version.

You will need to show where your VST paths are pointing and where your VSTs are installed.

At the end of the subscription do you get to keep the last version of Sonar, just without update or does it just stop working:? 

You can also measure your latency by routing the output of a track with a metronome or other transient type of signal out one of your interfaces outputs and looping it back to an input and record that input.  The time between the output track transient and when it gets recorded is the time you can enter into the "manual offset" in your 4th settings screenshot.

Understood. 
It seems my best option is to snapshot every change. That doesn't create an envelope so I can tweak those later during final mix.

I think we can call this solved.

Adding a snapshot does create an envelope. It puts a node on the automation envelope for the snapshotted parameter.

Me an IK parted ways this morning. 

Is there a reason why?

Maybe make sure the track input midi channel is set to Omni so it will accept all midi channels.

That is probably not your issue unless your project files are in Program Files as well.

EZdrummer just takes one midi track with all the drums.  Then, in the UI interface you route the individual drum mics out to separate audio channels.

You could have separate midi tracks for each drum part but then you would have to route all the midi tracks to an instance of EZdrummer.

Have you run Resplendence LatencyMon to check what processes or drivers might be causing the delays? Even the faster computer system can have glitches if there is some other software or driver hogging the CPU.  I had a machine with a specific graphics card that would cause pops and clicks anytime a plugins UI was showing. I used latency mon to track it down to the video driver. Switched video cards and no more clicks.

You could try https://nerds.de/en/loopbe1.html. There are probably others as well. Just do a google search.  Cakewalk/Sonar doesn't provide virtual midi ports on your OS by itself.

Try a different buffer size setting. I have had plugins that do funny things with specific buffer sizes

With my Behringer X32 as an ASIO interface clicking on the Preferences audio setup button has never opened the Behringer ASIO panel.  I have to manually open it.

Some of this can do with your audio interface and the driver you are using. Make sure the update didn't install some generic ASIO driver or ASIO3All.  If you are using a windows sound card use WASPI driver.

Usually the driver reports the latency and Cakewalk adjusts the incoming audio based on the driver's information. If the driver doesn't report it correctly then you can try to adjust it manually using the following dialog in preferences.

Freeze your track or bounce to track is what you want. Check the documentation for settings. 

https://gaga.cakewalk.com/Documentation?product=Cakewalk&language=3&help=Mixing.23.html

If you want to freeze or bounce many tracks down to one stereo track then route it to  an auxiliary track and then arm record the auxiliary track and play through the project.

To unhide tracks hit the 'H' key 

So, anyone can get this price regardless of previous purchases? Too bad there isn't a cross grade price or upgrade from any "MAX" product type thing. 

Close and reopen Cakewalk?  You could also try to close and reopen just the project.  It is probably some kind of graphics glitch

I like my Nektar Impact+88

Probably a setting with your sound card/audio interface. What audio interface are you using?  If it is the built in Realtek to you have something like "stereo mix" or "record what you hear" enabled.

Send a support request to Support@cakewalk.com

What are you trying to play back?  Do you have a track with audio on it? Do you have a midi track and VSTi or a simple instrument track?  What is your Master bus set to output to?

Try some of the videos in the Tutorials form. https://discuss.cakewalk.com/index.php?/forum/35-tutorials/

Does the GSatPlus offer a mix parameter? If it does you could automate the wet/dry of the plugin rather then the on/off. Another thought is to  create an axiliary track and then add a send for each track to the auxiliary track. Then you could automate the volume of the aux track.

Admittedly, those are just work arounds for what you are trying to do. I don't know why the on/off automation would not work.
