Nice balanced mix.

Is it just my or does the Bass come in a tad late at the start? Other than that it seems a reasonable mix.

If you are referring to the version of SONAR from 2017 e.g. SONAR Platinum/Professional/Studio those product names are still technically owned by Gibson and they closed their Cakewalk store in 2017. Consequently if you do successfully buy a copy you will not be able to register or activate it. You can however purchase a subscription to the latest version of Cakewalk Sonar, (a similar but different product). The subscription includes Cakewalk Sonar, Cakewalk Next, the expanded version of the Bandlab Web based DAW and the extensive Bandlab audio and MIDI loop library. Please note Cakewalk Sonar by Bandlab has no connection to the Gibson product other than it is based on the same(ish) code base.

Your response @bertox makes me want to ask the question, you think the use of a compressed audio format, which FLAC is, is an acceptable way to use audio/CPU cycles in a modern DAW. Especially one that can use 64 nit floating point wave files, at whatever sample rate you decide to upsample to during processing.

Technically your statement is a little in correct. The old DX versions have been ungraded/updated to be VST3 technology rather than the old DX. Dropping the now somewhat defunct DX format of plugins. Whilst it, DX, is still supported by Microsoft there is a fundamental problem that 32 bit DX plugins can not work in a 64 bit OS. I have not seen any really new 64 bit DX audio plugins for a very long time as VST has dominated. We now have CLAP which has been adopted by some but not all. The fact that both ASIO and the VST 3 are now open source should see some interesting development, though ASIO is still a Steinberg copyright. Whilst they have been called Sonitus, for sometime, they are owned by Cakewalk who purchased them way back in the 1990's and the Pro Audio days.

The old DX FX called Sonitus have all been upgraded to VST 3 FX and are now called the Core pluggins.

This topic has been addressed by Cakewalk technical staff several times this year. I suggest @Jerry Gerber you search the forum fir those answers.

Then I suggest rather than belittle and berate those trying help here, by inferring we have not read your problem correctly. Why not report it as what you consider a "bug" via the proper channels. What I will ask is, if you import audio into your project where do you expect, think, Sonar should store it, or do you think Sonar should not store it?

I suspect you misunderstand that "always copy" command. When checked it will always copy any imported audio to your projects audio folder. Unchecked if copies it to a global folder, this is to ensure it is always available to you projects as the original source may not be on your computer.

@thegaltieribrothers as noted by @Bristol_Jonesey the effect is accumulative just as it would be using a desk. In an ideal world a mixing desk should add nothing but that is not the case. Personally I like the N-Type on all tracks and busses.

To report there is a report option on the Sonar page of the Website or you can send an email to support@cakewalk.com

Thank you, simple that is me 😀 😎

Have you reported it? Have you tried a different expression map, to test to see if it just one affected?

@Adam you can disable the quick start from opening. If you consistently open Sonar projects from the Windows browser I suggest you do just that.

Requires full Kontakt not just player. That is between £89 to a £1,619 more.

@Astraios are you sure you have set the tracks sending to these devices to receive on specific MIDI ports & channels. If you are using omni then it will receive on all channels.

Would I be correct in saying you comparing two different machines? Question have you checked what the Performance Module is showing, it can show three different types of activity. See page 590 of the reference guide for more information about what the Performance Module is showing. 1. Audio Processing 2. System performance, (that is global, not just the app) 3. Overall App Performance.

Nice Mark nice job.

Well I suggested as test so I did a test. Using both SIT's and split tracks if the Audio engine is muted then you can indeed capture MIDI, I can only assume this is because technically MIDI is NOT audio data but digital data.

How would you know, if the audio engine is muted? Whilst you might think it would stop the capture of the MIDI data, it might not, obliviously a test must be made.

@Sailor55 I suspect "Mute" only silences the Audio engine. Are you using SIT tracks or split tracks? SIT Simple Instrument Tracks used by VSTi which combine both Audio and MIDI in one track. Split Audio Tracks show separate Audio and MIDI tracks fir VSTi.

@xguitar can anything else? What does the Windows event viewer say? What Anti virus or malware software are you using?

@FreeEarCandy Soundcloud is reporting you tune to be 17:26 long when it is only 3:08 you might want to edit it a tad. Mix on the noisy bit is OK but he other 14 minutes is a tad quite

Thank you Bjorn, there is something in the pipe is all I will say.

@bmarlowe unfortunately true re hearing, HH level is very subjective. I used to play drums in a band with a bass guitarist using a Stereo Rickenbacker through a 100w with 2, 4 x12's orange rig on my left and a Marshall 100w with 2, 4x12's rig on my right, the ears can suffer. Fortunately for me the band had a decent mixer and I used headphones.
