Those unfulfilled promises of a hover car?

I've never seen just the top lights (A) flashing. Normally the meters also show activity. I once reported on a bizarre instance where all the meters were bouncing up & down when the transport was stopped. It was a project glitch that hasn't happened since.

Thanks. Forgot I recently selected Generate Scan Log in Preferences. Makes sense this one waits for you to close it.

Lately VST Scan Toast messages haven't been closing after showing. They remain indefinitely. Preferences Timeout is 2 sec.

No. Colored but not color coded. Someone posted in Feedback Forum requesting it, tho.

I have Sonar 8.3 on this system so I'll have to compare it with CbB. Edit: Took 5 sec to Process>Length 200% the same 6 min clip here, as opposed to 8 sec with CbB. So CbB is slower than old Sonar, but I think it uses a different process.

Outrage out times me, but he has better system specs. Mine: Win 11 laptop Intel i7 12700H 2.3GHz 16GB ram

I repeated your scenario with a 6 min mono audio clip using Elastic Pro and it took 8 sec. However, for some reason when I tried to bounce the processed clip I got a "Catastrophic failure" error. "Process>Length" may not need to be bounced but it shouldn't flash an error either. So I slip-stretched it 200% and bounced it... took 10 sec. These times may be slower than Reaper but not unreasonable IMO. (worth about -0.2¢) There's no doubt "newer" DAWs are more efficient at handling certain tasks, but the times I'm seeing in this thread are far from normal for Sonar/CbB. Are you running Reaper and CbB at the same time? Try closing all other programs, including antivirus, before processing or exporting.

I'm curious as I haven't experienced slow behavior. Just bounced a single 5 min audio clip in less than 2 sec. Then I Exported a 6 min song with 8 audio tracks and NO plugins in less than 4 sec. Result was a 100 MB wave file. Then I Exported a similar 6 min song with 7 unrendered softsynths and 3 plugins in less than 1 min. All @48/24. Same song Exported to highest quality mp3 took 1:15 min to make a 13 MB file. Rendering, Freezing and Bouncing individual clips/tracks & plugins 1st should speed up the Export process. There may also be other background processes going on affecting the slow down.

Save template with a different name. Then reinstall latest update.

Good plan. Might work if it reads the offending plugin.

32 bit Sonar scans different folders, so that could be a factor. They each hang so sporadically that there could be hardware issues to blame as well. Sometimes I have to reboot the system several times before everything plays right together.

No doubt. In this case Sonar is the victim, as I go b&f between 32 bit Sonar & CbB for older project migration and Melodyne 4 usage. (Melodyne 4 won't run under 64 bit Win11 & Melodyne 5 has no 32 bit version.) Both have "Automatic Background Scan" checked, but of course, Sonar does not have "Generate Scan Log".

At least one reason for Sonar is upon initial startup when the VST Scan "Toast" message gets toasted & stops responding and hangs indefinitely for some reason.

The Console strip Patch menu needs attention as well. It gets cut off at the bottom.

Yer all golden. This topic is golden. I'm more of a platinum guy, tho. S Plat inum.

I never say never, but normally No. I'm a (30 yr) novice and presets can confuse me so I usually just start tweaking knobs till I get what I (think) I want. However, I have tweaked and resaved presets on every piece of outboard gear I've owned. I actually came up with that one after whishing I'd done it 20 yrs after the fact.... or write detailed notes in the Track Inspector.... but usually forget to do it. But In my case these are only good for the individual project.

They can be useful as a starting point. I've checked my saved links but haven't found any with PC presets.

It will name the folder for you, usually the same as the project name. This caught me off guard a few times not realizing it was happening.

Personally not really into presets as each instance is usually custom tailored.

Here's some options to try: watch the horizontal blue line slide past the vertical white line > < 2 pixel wide vertical white line follows the blue line start to end > < completely transparent full width hides the blue line Drag images to your desktop or right-click and save.

If the graphic stopping short bugs you, it can be trimmed to 1 or 2 pixels wide or made completely transparent in Theme Editor so the blue line is completely exposed.
