They’ve really been good with updates. I think that was the third this week ?

New Sonar thoughts - spoiler alert - I’m digging it !
Greg Wynn replied to Greg Wynn's topic in Cakewalk by BandLab
Indeed they are - thank you!! -
So I’ve been using it since the day it became available. I also signed up for the Backstage Pass (I think that’s the name) so it’s fully functional. Background - 20+ year Cakewalk/Sonar user, specs (RTX 3050, i9 14900KF, 64G Ram running at 6800, ASUS mobo, MOTU adapter) 1. Graphics. Super smooth here and the graphic enhancements are clearly visible. However I can understand where some might feel some of the text might be too small (like in the Opening Project and VST scan toast). I’m running the version literally just released today - I think there have been three updates this week. I’m using the “dark” them and have gotten really used to it but as I’ve said before I do miss some things (can we please get segmented meters back as well as color options ? Or maybe I just couldn’t find them). 2. Performance - I’ve thrown some pretty complex projects at it (AudioGridder using two Ethernet-connected laptops, a ton of Acustica Audio plugs and a mountain of UAD and others) and zero issues. Just like CbB had zero issues. 3. General Feel (completely subjective) - fast, snappy and definitely feels like things just work smoother. I can understand people quibbling about the UI to a point however remember when we went from 8.5.x to a completely new UI and we all were lost for a bit until we learned it ? There was a learning curve to be clear - the learning curve of the new Sonar is about 1/100th of that. I’ve transferred all of my projects to the new Sonar and just for the hell of it cranked up the CbB versions today and they feel great like they also have - but I’m completely used to the new Sonar and there is a difference. thx Bakers !

This subject keeps coming up over and over. Steinberg products tend to install their own generic drivers which tends to upset Cakewalk/Sonar. No need to use regedit - just rename the Steinberg driver to something like x.old

Shhh! Don't tell anyone. Sonar is now available
Greg Wynn replied to John Vere's topic in Cakewalk by BandLab
If you pay the Backstage Access thing you can save just fine and there is no “activate” nag toast. In fact I’m already using it with no issues - other than missing my themes from @Matthew White - on some big projects. -
AxeEdit is a great tool and makes it much easier than the front panel.

I started with a II, then a IIXL, then a III and then a III Mark II. My Marshall JCM800, Mesa Triple Recto and Splawn Quickrod have been reduced to being expensive dust collectors - I really need to sell them

@Scott Longtime AxeFx guy here. What you are describing sounds like power amp modeling OR cab modeling is off. I highly suggest you hit the Fractal forum and get it sorted.

Not Liking the look of the New Sonar Interface
Greg Wynn replied to mark foster's topic in Cakewalk by BandLab
I like the “new” look but truth be told it’s not really “new”. Just refined. However I VERY much miss the themes that @Matthew White has made. They are indispensable to me. -

Played around with it a bit tonight. Loaded a huge project that uses all of my UAD Octo card, lots of Acustica Audio Plug-ins, more Acustica Audio plugs via Audigridder to two Ethernet connected laptops… No issues noted ! -
(Solved) Steinberg ASIO driver Can't Be Changed
Greg Wynn replied to Resonant Serpent's topic in Cakewalk by BandLab
I also have a MOTU and use Wavelab. The fix for me was just renaming the Steinberg driver. Quick and easy. -

Nah, just rename it to x.old no need to touch the registry. -
