I seem to remember that future additions/ improvements will be sub only ? J

You might want to check out the first post here about the new update to v084 which takes care of your issue. :

As a software developer you certainly know that the most BSOD’s are driver based. You don’t say which audio device you’re running - are its drivers up to date ? Asio4All isn’t the best of asio solutions albeit does work for certain on board cards. Personally i would uninstall it and any generic Asio drivers that other DAW’s may have installed. And this also in the registry. The last time i had a BSOD was a dodgy/corrupt Focusrite driver (it said so on the dreaded screen) i simply re-installed my drivers and all was good. I’ll think you’ll find the greater majority of users are experiencing little or no issues. However, YMMV Try it J

Sooooo ? Taking 10 mn to d/l install and fire up is not excessive time wasting ….. IMHO.

You could also use the + button in the synth rack to add Kontakt 7 either with 1 stereo out or multiple. Thats the way i add a soft synth. YMMV of course. To add a simple audio or midi track simply right click on an empty part of TV and select in the drop down menu. J

You’re complaining about a minor issue for a free DAW ??? J

Don’t like doing research ? https://www.image-line.com/fl-studio/compare-editions J

No its not. There is no mention of a free version on the link you post. J Edit : this is the link https://beta.prismsound.com/news/sadie6-now-free-for-all/ And it the Recapcha doesn't like Firefow.....

Pour répondre a tes questions : Sonar utilise un autre système que les bitmaps (appelé vectors) donc tu ne peux pas importer tes themes de CbB vers Sonar. Sonar n’est qu’une extension de CbB mais avec un code amélioré, ou est le problème ? Je ne comprends pas pourquoi tu penses que tes fichiers vont être perdus ? Les miens marchent en CbB ET Sonar, autrement dit Sonar est retro compatible. les SI marchent impec dans Sonar, j’utilise les SI Strings tres souvent. Tes connaissances en informatique je ne ferai pas de commentaires mais ………… Linux n’est pas Windows/Sonar. Sonar avec son code plus moderne c’est l’avenir, CbB (ancien code) c’est le passé, il faut avancer. Une fois tu as gouté Sonar (free tier ou surtout avec sub) tu ne reviendras jamais. Bon courage YMMV (ton avis peut être different) J And in English (no AI nor translator were harmed in my translation) ! To answer your questions : Sonar uses a different system than bitmaps (called vectors) so you can’t import your themes from CbB to Sonar. Sonar is an extension of CbB but with better code - where is the issue ? I don’t understand why you think your files are lost ? Mine work in CbB and Sonar, which is retro compatible. The SI’s work perfectly in Sonar, i use SI Strings regularly. Your knowledge in computer science is not for me to criticise but …….. Linux is not Windows/Sonar. Sonar, with its newer code is the future, CbB (older code) is the past. Once you’ve tried Sonar (free tier or above all with a sub) you’ll not want to go back. Good luck YMMV J

I don’t need lecturing, thanks anyway. But you’ve missed the point completely. J

@John VereWhoa, slowly there. I’m not fond of the sub myself, just fed up of reading repetitive posts about it……. Which let’s be honest, re-hash the same arguments. i’m sure the devs are well aware of some users issues, but its marketing who rule the roost, unfortunately. As in most companies nowadays. FYI, i don’t use Bandlab nor Next so you could say i’m not getting my money’s worth from the sub. My choice. Anyway, make music, no ? J

It is.You're one person among hwo many that are satisfied ? But YMMV. J

Pure supposition, just like adding oil on a fire. Why don't you just do what your last phrase says ? Make Music. I would argue Sonar has now exceded its former glory, its better than ever, certainly versus the Gibson fiasco. Been there, lived it, moved on BTW. Sheesh, your posts are getting a little repetitive John, go back to what you do best, helping people. J

I wouldn’t think so, why not try it ? But really, I have no idea, my pc and laptop are connected 100% of the time. J
