Sorry, but nothing seems to be happening. I opened as admin and tried a few times.

mmmm,typical ... /ponders ... ....

you have a missing space .. copy the following line into your  paste buffer (select the txt with your mouse,select copy then paste it into the Admin CMD window - without the quotes )

"powercfg.exe /hibernate off"

Edit:- more pondering ..

could reduce size/disable your traschcan 

right click the trashcan icon on your desktop - select properties = options are there

delete old system restore points?

control panel - system - system protection - system restore - then follow the on screen instructions (i have it disabled,cant help much there,googles knows )

Ahhh so if I do this I'll get back all the hardrive space that hibernate uses at the cost of the hibernate feature and start up speeds? I think I'll give this a try, sounds worth it. Thanks! 

ahhhh,but after you installed your cake niceness you can re-enable hybernate  later:-

"powercfg.exe /hibernate on"

not that you would want to,cos you want an always on power profile

@André

ok,this (if you haven't already done it) will save you space equal (ish) to the total physical memory in your laptop ..

open a CMD prompt EDIT:- as Administrator! .. type "powercfg.exe /hibernate off" - after this id try the last part of the download again,see if you get it .. and after that it might install to your D:? drive as planned (fingers crossed) ...

if it doesn't work,or you cant free more space there's plan B .. and that means more typing ..

see how far this gets you (if anywhere )

@André few questions to make sure

your using a laptop with 1 internal drive - and that drive has 1 operating system (no dual boot) with a total size of 28 gb ?

the 1tb Drive you mention is a physical drive? (im assuming an external 1 tb usb drive??) - or is it a partition on the internal laptop hard drive ???

bear in mind you can go to "Control panel" > "Administrative Tools"  - and run "Computer Management"

on "Computer Management" there's a tab under "Storage" called "Disk Management" .. when you click,it shows you a list of your drives/partitions

from there you can right click on a partition and select "Change drive letter and paths" ... on the new popup click "change"

on the newest popup  to the right of "Assign the following drive letter" there's a gadget containing all unused system drive letters ...

with some jiggery pokery you can change your main drive letters to match on both laptop and PC (C: you cant change)

easy to remember letters for common jobs

C - boot drive (cant change)

E: External Samples

G: Games

S: Sample Libraries

T: Tracking

M: Music

V: Virtual

R: Reader

W: Writer

Z: That pia dual boot operating system - out of the way at the end

if you follow a set system installing daws on 2 pc`s,your USB drive/s can be used in both systems:-

both pc`s *should* remember the Assigned letter when plugged back in

nice! my next strings are D'Addario

i used to use a midi loopback driver to replace the missing device (move it to the position that the missing device occupied)

had to make sure it was running  before starting the daw (so sonar wouldn't mix up the devices again) .. that taught me to try and use the same devices in all projects (if "device 4" went missing - say external midi drums,it went missing in all projects - using a stunt device meant they all opened,but the missing device went to whatever i pointed it at with the loopback driver)

how that would work nowadays i have no idea,not ran into this problem recently (only posting this cos it might help you?)

😀 hope your not bundling Mint into that comment

FL is number 1? .. can guess their fanbase,have you ever tried to record audio into it?

Sonar rocks! always has,Bandlab have done a great job .. long may they reign

Hmmmm, just stumbled across this (the thread heading hooked me in) and I seem to be doing this wrong. Have inserted a suitably feel-filled guitar part, (a stereo 16 bit wav) and keep trying to drag it into timeline and nothing happens. Audio snap acting similarly. (I have Melodyne installed, up to date Cakewalk) this would be great if it worked as my big bugbear band-wise is demos with wandering time as we pass them around the band - they get to me and I have to add drums and it can be quite trying.

have you done any editing to the wav? .. it kinda works best if you bounce the track out,then drag that onto the timeline ...

the other thing  is - sonar kinda expects the tempo to be "in time" .. hard to explain,it puts a stretched grid on the audio,it doesn't like it at all if your track has and extra little "beat" which is murder if your trying to do something like this

smellydin crashes sometimes too

AFAIK, Cakewalk by BandLab and Ableton Live are the only programs that can conform to tempo so easily, although they use different approaches. I use Cakewalk to analyze tempos from "classic recordings" - the results are very interesting.

been trying to explain the benefits of tempo mapping for years .. this is a great example thanks

edit:- Worth looking into how Samplitude and Harrison Mixbus handle it (much better than sonar imo)

more flexible tempo mapping ... thats easier to read .. like a dedicated tempo track 🤞

great tutorial! .. clear and easy instructions

^ sounds like you have 2 problems .. one is solved by Noels post (sample rate selection) .. the other sounds like it might be  either a bad lead or a bad socket -> "the above audio/midi device was disconnected from your system" <- when you disconnect a device from windows,its possible windows will see it as another device,therefore when you plug it back in it can have a slightly different name - so,that means going back into prefs and selecting the *new named device* .. or reboot

bear in mind - *if your device has a new name,then setting up in prefs will only last for this active windows session,when you reboot the device will be back to its default settings,but cake will remember the last settings - so back to prefs *again* to re-setup the device*

Thanks! this is great 🖕🖕🖕

weren't there some codecs and other files that weren't included in bandlab because of licensing restrictions? .. seem to remember something about dithering too ...

just a quick thought,try running a Hard Drive speed test app to find the fastest drive,then install windows to that
