I have just installed and calibrated my room using SonarWorks SoundID This gives me two Options:- 

1. A Plug-in that I can use in my DAW (Sonar) and that works fine. 

2. A systemwide App that can I can use my calibrated speakers on any Audio output media (for ex:- Spotify or Windows Media Player) and that works fine ......

............. Except when I listen to a project within Cakewalk Sonar ! 

When I inspect the preferences within Cakewalk Sonar the input/output devices all point to the sonarworks Asio Driver 

My system sound settings point to   Universal Audio Thunderbolt WDM 

 Anyone have any ideas why Cakewalk sonar isn't using the SystemWide App? 

@Canopus Thanks, was that in the latest update?  Which I downloaded about 2 hours ago

@DeeringAmps Thanks for the ‘W’ tip.  Yes, they show up in the ‘markers’ view but not the ‘module’ drop-down 

I tried the new Start and End Markers function, and although they show on the 'View Markers' list and work ok, They don't show up in the 'Markers Module' which is what I use to get to the start ( All the others markers show up ok) 

Workaround is just put a normal marker in at the start as the 'End' marker stops the project. 

btw:- Thanks for the update.

On Windows, free forever.

Hmm I'm not sure, - still showing $29 

As a loooooong time Cakewalk/Sonar user, I'm glad of the technical direction this looks to be heading in, However I too wouldn't be happy with a subscription model. 

Thanks for the replies, Yes msmcloed & Craig. That does help. 

"record it via my control surface and ride the faders through the whole song:"

It's this that I'm interested in doing, But as I don't have a Control Surface, I don't think it would work so good just using a mouse as a fader. So will have to draw it it as suggested. 

Hmmm. Now where can I buy some faders  

Thanks Andres,  Yes I'm aware of those capabilities,   I guess I didn't explain very well. 

I'll see if I can find an example of what I mean on YouTube.... 

Hi,  Watching producers using Pro-Tools, they will usually finish the mixing process off using 'Automation' on the Bus's  (So Drums, then Guitars etc...). 

I don't use Pro-Tools So I'm not sure if this is a feature of PT

My question:- Is there an equivalent feature in CbB? 

I know I could use a 'Waves' Rider plugin and set that to write to an automation lane (for ex volume) but wondered what you guys might use? 

Thanks.

Is this UA hardware or VST plugins (I gather they offer both, now)?  I recall there have been issues with the compatibiliity of hardware-based UA stuff with Fast Bounce. Not sure whether any issues remain or maybe UA might requires a special setting to accomodate it as some plugins do. Try a real-time bounce.

I use the vst plug-ins..... been using them for years with no prior issues. 

I'll get back to you re:-  real time bounce. 

Thanks for the replies, 

I tried removing the plugins from the track in question  (and the master bus/Sub  it was going to) but it still crashed, So I deleted the 52 other tracks and saved the project as a new named single audio track, without any plugins - and that bounced ok. 

So now I have a workaround. as I can import the bounced track back into the original project. 

So it might be a dodgy plugin, but I only use CbB, Universal Audio, Soundtoys or Izotope plugins.... I'd expect these to be faultless,  but evidently not. 

Hello, 

Just trying to bounce one audio track onto an empty audio track, and CbB closes without any error.  I am on the latest version of CbB (2022.09 Build 027, 64bit). 

I was on the previous version (02?) when I noticed it and upgraded to .09 to see if that might solve the problem. but it didn't. 

Rgds  Al. 

Ah, you might be on to something there, I’ve transferred/updated so much stuff I could have upgraded AD2 in the process. 

FYI - I have an  Edirol UM-2 (by Roland) and Roland stopped supporting it at while ago, however by following the procedures listed here ...

http://johnwarburton.net/blog/?p=25289

Or here

https://www.tenforums.com/drivers-hardware/15790-share-successfully-installing-edirol-um-2-windows-10-a.html

You can leave to change to the .inf file as windows 10 (no need to enter 11) 

and very important to turn off memory integrity setting like this on Windows 11 ...

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/a-driver-can-t-load-on-this-device-8eea34e5-ff4b-16ec-870d-61a4a43b3dd5

And it works again. 

What I'm not sure of if it will still work if I turn  memory integrity back on again and reboot? 

Hi, 

I have updated my system and whilst most things have gone smoothly from Win 10 -> Win 11 (Completely new kit) when I am moving a bundle (.cwb) everything works (Audio and Synths)  apart from the AD2 Drum Synth,

It shows the AD2 in brackets

The workaround is that I have to re-insert AD2 and copy the midi file, but the problem is of course is that it has lost all my drum config settings. 

Any thoughts why AD2 should be so awkward?

If you have any other Sonar or Cakewalk issues, please open a new thread in general Cakewalk support forum. You are more likely to engage with Cakewalk staff there. This is the "Deals" thread, and not many staff members hang out here.

Ok - Will do - Thanks.

@icu81b4This is pretty much it. It is recommended to first install any of the Sonar products you wish to have available, the then install Cakewalk by BandLab to pick up the old stuff. You can do selective installs, but installing the full Sonar program itself really doesn't require much disk space, and you can be sure that you got everything.

If you are referring to Sonar X1-X3, or Platinum, the installers are still available in your old Cakewalk account. For the Sonar Platinum era installers, you should use Cakewalk Command Center to access the desired installations. CCC will download, install, and activate the selected installers for you, no serial numbers or activation codes required.

Also, CCC has separated many of the instrument and plugin suite installers from the core Sonar installer. But just be aware that there are a few items such as Roland V-Vocal that are part of the core Sonar install, and I don't recall the details of what all of those were.

Thanks for the replies ... So I'm now on Windows 11, I tried to download the CCC from https://www.cakewalk.com/command-center but for some reason it refuses to download, I noticed that the version of CCC Setup was 1.1.7.1 which I already had on my old system so I copied that over and that installed and ran ok, So far so good. 

I then installed the latest version of CbB - ok 

I then tried to install the 'Big Fish' libraries using the CCC, They downloaded ok but when trying to install I get a "Setup Error" 

'Cannot locate the required version of the program on this system. Please install the correct version of the program to use this pack'  

However, It installed the CA-2A ok 

I'll have to see how I get on with all the other stuff ( synths etc...) 

Reading this thread with interest as after I came back from holiday my 5 yr old DAW didn't start, The ASUS MB Q-LED lights indicated a CPU error, after re-seating the CPU It worked but one of the two monitors keeps going black,  So after a bit of internal debate I have ordered a new system. 

I expect it to arrive later today and will attempt to re-install all my software and plug-ins, but I have a question. 

1. Prior to CbB, I used to run Sonar and have a lot of the old stuff which I still use within CbB from time to time,  eg:,

VST2,  VX64 Vocal Strip, PX64 Percussion Strip, Rapture ... etc. 

DX,  Sonitus Compressor, Sonitus Delay ... etc. 

Do I need to re-install Sonar in order to get these to work or is their an easier way? 

Thanks Scook,  That solved that issue. 

Hi folks, 

I've just uninstalled a plugin (Torpedo Wall of Sound x64)  and now get "the failure point was reported as "release" 

I have the option to disable the plug-in, which I have done

It is still listed under vst3 and I have Excluded it - But it still gives me the error 

Do I need to remove it from a register somewhere? 

Hi Promidi and thanks for the response. 

All my setup details are in my signature - I am all up to date with Firmware and UAD Software and am using ASIO 

However - This is only occurring in a  couple of my projects - and when I compare settings from the working projects - they seem the same ( As far as I can see) 

Anyhoo - I've put it down to a glitch and redone the project, and it's ok now. 

Thanks. 

I have a simple midi track with Addictive Drummer 2  (input = Omni Output = Drums) and I have imported midi data from AD2 to 'play' the AD2 drums in the track, 

I have other tracks in the session with recorded audio 

However when I switch Screensets whilst the project is running the  midi data stop s 'playing' the drums until I pause and restart the  play button. 

Any clues?

is global FX bypass enabled in the mix module?

Doh! 

Thanks for the swift reply Scook 

So - I've updated and now none of my plug-ins are working - They scan and load ok, but don't do anything.  - The insert appears slightly 'dimmed' in the channel. 

This applies to ALL plug-ins - (Cakewalk - ProChannel, Waves, Soundtoys, Unversal Audio etc ... ) 

Any ideas ?

I waited to install this update until after I finished a project I was on--just in case.

I haven't fully explored all the changes but have a couple of initial impressions I'd like to share.

I like the waveform outline. Looks like Wavelab and I like the definition.

I like the vst2 and vst3 indications for plugins.

Everything works, and that's most important!

Thanks!

Well    @razor7music ^This^ is the info I've been waiting for before I too go down the upgrade path...  Do I need to read through the 18 pages - or is there an update summary? 

As always - Thanks to the Bakers and all the Cakewalk team for continuing the development of this DAW.   

Excellent - Thanks Scook - you're a genius.
