I've used this plugin a few times over the years. Sometimes with success and others not so.... Handy to have around!

Thanks Michael!

Hi Mark! Not sure who this response it targeted. My issue is constant with nothing else open, no popups, menu commands don’t respond. I can open the browser, drag clips in and play/stop but nothing else. Excuse me. I believe I can also toggle the metronome?

Hi Andres... Sorry to hear that you've found no recourse either.... but never give up! I believe that with a bit more time it will be resolved. Nothing to do but wait. I've made numerous postings in Discord (hmmm is that saying something?) and even installed that more recent update but nothing has changed... So, hurry up and wait for me! Not a problem as I happily continue working in CbB while awaiting the return of Sonar for my future. My interest in Next pales next to my desire for Sonar! 😉

Thanks pwalpwal!

Of course. You’re correct that we will see when the time comes. I've been a beta tester many times for a few companies (even an alpha tester fir one product) and I understand some of the reasons for temporary situations such as beta testing. I’m not fond of the discord software but I use it when I must. Mentioning such does not change anything other than notifying the team leaders of the tester's thoughts. Oh, and being a beta tester is a gift of a kind but lets not forget that it's also an important part of the development process that the coders look to. We have to speak ip about our experiences. For me right now without some info or change, I am and will be unable to use Next on my Windows DAW as it is frozen! (Menu commands totally inactive) 🖖

I've been using Discord (reluctantly) since Cakewalk released Momentum? Was that the name? I didn't like it then and I enjoy it less now. Very confusing with way too many screen distractions and no notices of replies to posts. (If there is such a feature I've been unable to find/activate it) This forum is the way I prefer. I hope they add Sonar to this same forum or one like it.... <sigh>...

Thanks Treesha! I'm open to the possibility of surprise. Only too happy to be a part of this let alone a finalist. In some ways, I feel I won just getting another album finished! (The album in this, the 66th Grammys was my 13th solo album. My 14th is being released 11/23/23 and I'm deep into my 15th already! ;-))

Thanks Joad!

I'll bet it's gone after a re-boot?

Cool! I'm glad you got through. Very curios how/why this is happening...

Thanks Bapu! Proud to be a CbB representative!

Thanks InstrEd! 🙏👽🎸🎶

Thanks Grem! 🙏👽🎸🎶

Hmmm. I tested the link so I don’t know why/how/who caused this. So I just tested it again and it works fine from a few devices/machines here. I notice that the blocking was not my page, but the domain itself, hearnow.com Cann you type hearnow.com into the address bar? then try inexile.hearnow.com on another tab/try? I don’t know where else to look? Thanks for the interest either way!

OK... I admit it. This is not a first for me and I will probably get no more than 2 votes for each of my 3 entries (1 each is my own vote of course), but my album from 2022, Hear Me Calling is in the mix! Best Rock Album: Hear Me Calling by In Exile Best Rock Song: Just Can't Stop The Joke Is On Me by In Exile If any voters are out there and curious? I'd love to hear from you! Thanks for the airtime! Almost Forgot! Here's a link to a webpage with links to samples from the album as well as links to assorted streaming sties where it can be found... https://inexile.hearnow.com Thanks again!

BTW, Not sure I used the right emoji on your post. I was hoping for some kind of "confused"?

I must agree to a certain point, but also remind ourselves about over-worry. I've too am a long time 12Tone citizen. From Cakewalk fir Windows on all the way to now with every joy and bump in the road. You have helped me many times over the decades and have built much respect. I would hate to lose your presence in these surroundings. I am far below poverty these days but grateful to be allowed to continue my pursuits to a reasonable extent. I’m concerned about the upcoming cost of Sonar but confident in the good people who continue to make this. I believe of good intent and beyond. The Cakewalk community has long fought for survival and continue to succeed! As for compatibility issues? You can really only expect best effort and/or extended time as issues arise. Believe me. I had a wire recorder as well as tape when a child, and the history (i.e.) of wax/vinyl/8-track cart/cassette/cd... you get the idea. I still have a library of 1/4”, 1”, 2” tapes as well as dat tapes... Remember noise reduction? Sheesh! So many tributaries from the past. The complications of media portability and survival is not new. It is a challenge to all knowledge. Hard to leave a warning message at a nuclear waste dump that will last as long as the danger. Far better people than I have tried! 😁 Ultimately, all becomes chaos... I hope you consider this response in the heart of why it is given. I’m working hard every day myself to maintain calm while awaiting what will come. Right now? I make music with what I have. I will do this tomorrow and the day after until I can’t. Amongst other things, I hope to be using a future version of Sonar on the last day too! 🙏👽🎸🎶

...and I might add, an excellent way for potential new users to get a solid idea of what to expect in Sonar!

I believe you're correct. I think what Chris was referring to is that it's already been added to his account so he can download and install when convenient. I may be wrong... I'm not that trusting and grabbed it immediately. Offer is only valid until 10/31/23

Even better news! Thanks Steven!

The emphasis knob? I've never used.... Guess I'm not really a pro?

Interesting. As I’ve never seen a mix knob on the hardware, I didn’t think to look. Not something I need often and plenty of work arounds if I do. I was really concerned about the performance and sound comparison. If that knob is all that’s different? I’m good!

Thanks Jesse! I was hoping that was all that was meant. I would have been surprised if they actually created a new version to give away for free! I knew the collection had all three models. I was fortunate through much of my career with always having at least one or two Teletronic LA2a's when there was only the once version! 😉 I also have the UA 1176 collection which is the FET compressor I always reach for first! Magic in the hardware and replicated in these softwars to an impressive point!

Not to worry. I understand, but I’m hoping you do too! We all love free but it’s not necessarily for everyone. I have a few myself and they are all slightly different but overall, I’m finding the versions of devices made by the company that manufactures the hardware seem "best" to my ear...
