I don't have this issue, but I have SPlat and Sonar X3 installed. 1. Try opening CbB as Admin. before inserting the plugs. I know Dimension and others have required this. 2. Log into BandLab before opening CbB or inserting the plug. 3. Try cleaning the registry and reinstall everything. 4. Contact Cakewalk support. Not necessarily in that order. BTW, just played around with LP MB and it seems a little unstable, doing strange things when moving Bands around.

This would be nice but don't think it possible. However, there is this: https://legacy.cakewalk.com/Documentation?product=CakewalkSonar&language=3&help=NewFeatures.064.html

Yeah, I already updated my 2nd post for that.

No. Yes. (Link removed)

Does anyone have a link for these or can they be shared since they are free? Thanks NM. Found one Edit: these may not be "free"

I see. Shift has nothing to do with it. Simply holding Ctrl while dragging does work on both ends of the notes. Thanks. I was confused because holding Ctrl+Shift worked on the left ends but not the right ends, so it was probably just ignoring the Shift key. Shift+Dragging the left end of a group of notes makes all the notes the same duration. Shift+Dragging the right end is ignored. It would be nice if the routines were similar for both Views, so I'm changing the request to reflect that.

Request ability to Shrink/Stretch grouped PRV notes by Ctrl+Shift+Dragging both ends of the notes, like you can with Track View clips. Currently you Shrink/Stretch grouped PRV notes by Ctrl+Dragging either end of the notes. This works but is confusing when working between views. BTW, Shift+Dragging grouped notes makes them all the same length and only works on the left end of the group. EDITED

What program would you use to create them? I find not all SVG's are created equal and have no success editng them on one GUI.

Hey thanks for all the great additions. Curious if you can make their GUI elements, including text, available for customization like Dimension does? I can use a res editor but it's more of a hassle.

If I catch the wind in a bag, I have a captive audience. Others will benefit tho...

Easiest way I know: 1. Save project as a new one so old one is preserved. 2. Bounce clips in each track so there's only one clip per track. 3. Extend all tracks/clips to same length as longest track/clip. Do not bounce. 4. Set Now Time Marker to -0-. 5. Click on Transport BPM and change to desired value. You'll see audio clips extend past the end of the MIDI tracks when increasing BPM. 6. Slip-Shrink the Audio clips to line up with the MIDI clips. 7. Bounce the audio clips. Slip-Stretching/Shrinking MIDI clips is virtually harmless. Slip-Stretching/Shrinking Audio clips can range from harmless to disastrous, depending on how vast the BPM change is and how complex the audio is. I just changed an entire mix from 120 to 135 BPM without too much issue - audio was shrunk?... shrinked?... 88.89%, but I wouldn't recommend doing it for a polished master. If tempo change is significant it's probably best to re-record audio parts... or spend a lot of time in Melodyne.

Yes. But not likely anyone will notice or care.

Because that's how previous Sonar apps worked. Sonar X3 behaves as expected with new and old projects. But if I open an older project in CbB, it also behaves as expected. So creating projects in CbB must be affecting the Solo routine somehow?? In any case, CbB will probably be deprecated with a host of unresolved bugs - just like any program would where there isn't enough time to address them all. Incentive to upgrade.

Not sure what intended behavior is, but it seems like when Soloing a track the remaining tracks should look darker or diminished. For some reason MIDI tracks aren't responding to this action. Checked Sonar Platinum and all but one MIDI track dimmed when another track was soloed, so something changed.

I can't reproduce your issue. Snap has never worked 100% for me in Track View or PRV but it normally works as expected. When Global Snap is on and PRV Snap is off, notes can be moved more freely with less 'magnetic pull'. When both Snaps are on, notes are pulled to the set resolution. Are Global and PRV Snap set to the same resolution?

Everyone's different. Probably no easy solution. I do change track names to my liking but they still reflect the synth name, so when I use "Replace Synth" I have to change the names anyway. It's when I forget to and the old name is still there when I can get confused. It gets more tedious when multiple MIDI tracks are involved.

Yeah, to my thinking, Cakewalk should change the name to the new synth even if I had renamed it before the change. Cause the old name usually reflects the old synth. If I change the synth and fail to rename the track, then come back later to see the old name still there (10 yrs later), I may be confused.

I assume once you change the track name, somehow Cakewalk is prevented from renaming it when you replace the synth. I would prefer it still did, tho.

Replace Synth routine is supposed to rename default track names. 1. Menu > Insert > Soft Synth... Synth loads with each track named after the synth 2. Right click track number or synth icon 3. Select Replace Synth for All Tracks Using This Synth... 4. Select new synth New synth replaces old synth and renames tracks accordingly. Only this does not happen on my system consistently.

FWIW, Quick Grouping can work with Replace Synth... if Instrument Track Per Output is selected when initially inserting a synth. and BTW, there appears to be a bug with Replace Synth... where default track name does not always change to the new synth. edited for clarity

You can also left-click & hold the button for a dropdown menu which also contains Take Lane options. All buttons with a lower corner arrow do this. Because it may contain some good parts? Maybe? SOS is all I ever use.

WIN+ "+" followed by WIN+ESC to return... on Win 11. Here's hoping any older plugs included with the new Sonars will be GUI enhanced to fix the "fine print".

I did now , There were several areas to add and Allow. All good now.
