@JazzP I have to ask what makes you think Sonar is worse than CbB? What makes you think that Sonar is not making optimum use of the processing power of your PC? What are you desperate to know about how Sonar is using your PC's resources? Sonar's code is built, and improved, on CbB. They have done a lot of work on the whole programme making better use of the CPU, in particular with P & E cores. Have you examined your settings in Preferences? The simplest way to make sure any DAW is getting the optimum is never run another main programme at the same time.

Obliviously it is the nature of a subscription. You could buy the full version of Overloud's TH-U then you could use it in any DAW and standalone.

@JazzP you may want to search this forum, I suggest you use an external search engine, as the audio engine in Sonar has had some significant changes applied over CbB. In particular to do with P-cores and E-cores, with P-cores being used for audio processing. This was mainly done later part of 2024 Noel gives a quite detailed explanation, this is why the information is different CbB.

It is how you pay to use the full version of Cakewalk Sonar. Overloud's TH-U is not part of Cakewalk Sonar a special version specifically for Sonar is included but for the full version you would purchase that from Overloud.

@Bass Guitar Gibson didn't go broke. They filed section 11 anti bankruptcy protection. As they have done with several other software products they have purchased they dumped Cakewalk Inc., all its staff and products. To be precise at 11:00 am EST, on the 17th of November 2017 they announced to the staff that they no longer had a job. They didn't even tell us, they left it to a couple of dedicated staff to deliver the information.

Thanks appreciate the ears and comments.

Unfortunately @Eric Woodring Sonar is not really a CD construction software as noted by @Bass Guitar a proper wave editing software like Soundforge would be better.

@David Baay is this related to zero controllers or is it reading the bank and patch parameters from the MIDI track. Which means they need to be populated to stop this occurring. Just my two Triganic Pu's thought.

@kei masumoto can you expand on what you mean by "reset"?

I listened to this a few days ago, left a comment on Soundcloud, but not here Doh! Nice

I stumble across this other day whilst trolling YouTube. Nice track, nice balance well written and mixed.

Are you sure about that broad statement "Sonar no longer supports GM (General MIDI) playback". Cakewalk Sonar is most definitely MIDI 1.n compliant. Don't you mean Sonar no longer provides a basic multitimbral instrument that complies with the GM instrument set? Personally I have no problems playing back the basic GM sound sets without TTS-1.

I don't know, I don't use multitimbral plugins. If I want a multitimbral synth I use my JV1080. Perhaps you could try searching the Internet for them Roland hasone no idea what it is called.

Not included in Cakewalk Sonar, there are however similar multitimbral plugins some free some not so free.

@Randy the error has not changed it distincdistinctly says it can't find them. Try doing a reset and rescan of your plugins. Either Preferences > VST plugins, the Cakewalk Plugin Manager under utilities.

@fastdraw not sure how long it is since you visited here or installed the latest version of Cakewalk Sonar sub or free, but TTS-1 is no longer included as part of the package. The TTS-1 program belonged to Roland who have withdrawn support for it and requested that Cakewalk no longer supply it.

Thank you sir.

@Randy as noted by @Bass Guitar the error says missing not not working. Make sure its location is in the scan path of the scanner, scan paths are not migrated between CbB and Cakewalk Sonar.

Open the Synth rack!

It is a line in the .inf installation file which restricts the OS that the drive can be installed to, the hack is change it from Win 8 to Win 10 or 11.

As always, the fur is inescapable, thanks for the ears and the comments.

It has a built in FFS display, but SPANs is superior, there is free and advanced paid version of SPAN.

They coexist without issue, I have both installed, but as Jon notes install S-Plat first and then Cakewalk Sonar

That probably because I am from the school of antiquity, appreciate the ear and comment.
