It stopped nagging many months ago.

It most certainly did 👍

You'd be far better off trying to identify the source of the dropout/slow down and get that fixed.

The fact that whatever's going on affects your email and browser strongly suggests it's a problem outside of Sonar.

 NT1 is a highly respected mic and was recommended by friend long ago, but I think Rode made a huge mistake not to offer output and controls on the mic itself. Ohh well, it is both XLR and USB, so I will squeeze some fun out of it anyway if solution is not found. 

So have you tried it using the XLR output? 

Trying it with USB will likely lead to driver conflict.

Hi, everyone! Today I ran into a problem related to pianoroll. when I try to overlay sound on the pianoroll, it overlaps, but the sound does not play. I set the sound format to waw. I can even arrange the sounds on the pianoroll, but they still don't play. and I don't quite understand what the problem is. I'm new to this thing, so I'm asking for professional help.🙏

Not sure what you mean by "overlay sound on the piano roll"

Can you explain exactly what you're doing

When you see the pale blue thing, Cakewalk is trying to dock whatever it is you're ,moving into the Multidock.

hold down the ctrl key to disable this when dragging

As far as I know, I’m not sure when asio4all showed up actually, so I didn’t wanna jump to conclusions. But I have seen a couple threads suggesting to uninstall it. I tried changing it to my interface but once I hit apply it goes right back to asio4all. 
 

I will give that a shot when I get home and see how it goes! 
Thanks for the reply! 

You need to remove it completely from your pc, including the Windows Registry

That's interesting. Suggests it might be some sort of race condition that has a different outcome on different systems. I'll give it a whirl on my main DAW that's closer to your spec: i7 6700k with Win10 vs. my laptop that runs an 11800H CPU with Win11.

I actually opened it up on my laptop - Dell XPS 17 9710 Win 11 Home Edition version 10.0.22631 build 22631

CPU is 11th gen i7-11800H 2.3Ghz with 16Gb RAM

It opens up fine here in Sonar

Obviously I get warning messages about missing audio & plugins but other than that, it doesn't crash or hang.

That's with all 94 tracks and 40 busses active

Have you got input monitoring switched on and direct monitoring at the same time?

Condensor mic. Have you got phantom power switched on?

You cannot add a vst to a midi track in any host.

Add it to the associated audio track (if you have inserted a split audio/midi track) or to the instrument track 

I built about 40+ drum maps for use as articulation triggers with EWQLSO way before we had artic maps.

Artic map went above the note pane in the PRV and I could edit them in context with the actual note data

Worked like a dream but what a pain to set up.

Is that actually AsIO?  Looking this up it says this is not an audio drive but Asus Input Output Driver and many people are having issues just recently. 
Another thought is what happens if you change to 48mHz ? I’ve also read about issues on some systems where 96 mHz just doesn’t work well. It’s not the Interface but the computer itself. 

mHz ?😙

It's not a good idea to have your email address on public display

Edit your post and delete it

I'd recommend removing all vestiges of ASIO4all from the system entirely.  It's known to cause various issues in CW/CbB/Sonar/etc, because of the way it works.   It doesn't work in "low latency", it's minimum latency is whatever the WDM/KS or other driver your device has, *plus* it's own latency, plus...whatever you have to use to get it to "work" in your program. 

It isn't really an ASIO driver, it's a wrapper for whatever other non-asio audio drivers are on the system, and it does them "all", so if there's a problematic driver somewhere (even if you never use it) it could cause problems for anything using A4A. 

 

It could easily be causing your issue, especially if that Blue ASIO driver worked before installing ASIO4all or on a previous system that didn't have A4A on it. 

 

 

This is good advice. You will also need to remove any reference to it from the Windows Registry.

If you're unsure what to do, let us know BEFORE you attempt anything.

We will never know. I believe the Gibson dump scattered many (rightfully pissed off) users and the free (for a time) Bandlab version probably brought some back but I would suspect not many. Has the Sonar rental plan got more back? I doubt it but they probably brought in new users and that's what more important. Most people once pissed off rarely return to a product if they can at all avoid it.

I seriously doubt Bandlab will ever tell us the bottom line but being tied to Bandlab over gives them some leverage. I am not sure Bandlab expects Sonar to be profitable standalone.

In the end, Sonar (and CbB) work well and if it's worth it to you, rent it.

Has anyone list out the specific differences outside of the visuals? I know they've added some new features.

This is not a comprehensive list:

Spectrum Analyser on every track
Pro Channel Concrete Limiter
Session Drummer 3
Routing Enhancements for sends
Satrt and End Markers
Track Manager Enhancements
Articulation Note Offsets
Automation Smoothing
Configuration Backup/Restore
New File Types
Cakewalk Zip Files
Cakewalk Next for Windows & Mac
Audio Engine optimizations
Greatly improved latency
Plugin oversampling
Plugin Load Balancing
PDC Overrides
Flyout Dynamic Tooltips
External Insert improvements
Quick Exit modes
Deag and Drop opmtimizations
MIDI drawing optimizations
You can now quickly delete specific articulations that are in use in a project, directly from the Articulation Map editor
Command to "Select Associated Tracks/Buses"
Command to "Select Associated Instrument Tracks" via the Synth Rack
New "Left Click Sets Track Focus"  global option
Improved Toast Notifications
Updated Command Center
New Sampler

Oh that's terrible!  Question:  is this a fact or conjecture?

It's pure conjecture. 

I am sure SOME users have jumped ship but to say the MAJORITY of them have is totally disingenuous.

That could explain it 👍

I could be mistaken, but I think a few years ago you explained to me how even though I didn't "use" screensets they were in use by default.  Maybe that was someone else; my memory isn't what it used to be. I'll see if I can find that discussion. 

That's certainly something I would have said, because it's true. By default, you are always using Screenset #1

You use one every time you open Sonar/CbB. 

Screensets are per project - tho they are the same for each project until you change them.  Saving a project retains the current screensets in place for that project.
- Locking a screenset protects it from temporary changes made during a session so those changes won't remain after closing the project.

Workspaces are global - which means the current one will affect any project you open.  I think forgetting or not knowing this is why they cause a lot of confusion.

That's weird. The forum software has notified me that you quoted me in this post, but you haven't. 🤨

Hi sjoens,

I don´t know, if this might apply to your issue, but I thought of it and if you use Cubase, make sure, you select Melodyne as an extension, do not use it as a plugin in inserts.

Melodyne is used inside Cakewalk as a Region Fx.

Users who have attempted to treat it as normal plugin have nearly always run into problems.

You cannot blame Cakewalk for the demise of TTS-1 in NEW installations.

it's Roland who have pulled the plug.

It's under Region Fx

Yes. Just don't uninstall anything and you'll be fine

I have no idea what my username or password was 8 years ago so I suppose there isn’t a way to retrieve those old pro channel modules.

Anyway, I have 6 icons that show and 6 that don’t. Apparently there isn’t a fix for this either.

I wonder if Sonar has these issues? 

No, no issues like this in Sonar, at least on either of my systems

1. Send an email to support@cakealk.com to sort out your password issues

2. To get the old stuff back you'll need to decide exactly what you want and to install the version of SONAR that they came bundled with

Install older versions BEFORE any later ones
