Well some interesting news about this issue that I think has resolved the issue. I had a hunch that it might be VST related or complexity of a project. I did an experiment by look at any similarities between projects that were not working how I was expecting them to vs projects working just fine with no help from me. After compiling a list of VSTs from about five problem projects and some projects with no issues I found I had one VST as a common denominator...Kontakt B4 VST2. I removed the synth from the project, saved it, closed it, reopened it and it worked as expected. I tried that on each project with issues and it took care of the problem. So I am replacing the VST 2 (to me the VST 2 version sounds much much more authentic) with the VST 3 version.

?? Bakers?

Nothing happens. In previous version I'd open my files I want to work on, press the spacebar and it would play. Now I need to click anywhere in the DAW and I'm good to go.

Aahhh...I did a quick audio recording, no VST's, saved it, closed Sonar, reopened it and Voila that worked. Thank you.

I am talking about the new paid for version of Sonar.

At the time I have nothing else open so nothing has the focus apparently.

I tried that but no change...

Yeah I was talking about the new Sonar.

The spacebar works under normal conditions. It's just that upon opening a file I could just tap spacebar and it would start. Now I have to tap anywhere in the song, then I can use the spacebar as normal. Not a big deal just surprised by the change.

I tried that...no difference. It's not a huge deal just...different. Thanks.

Wondering if it's me or... All previous versions of Cakewalk always had Cakewalk "on top" that is, as as you open it you could hit the spacebar and it would start. Now I have to click on it before it will start. Anybody else?

I used CTRL + TAB and nothing came up.

This has happened with small and large projects for me.

Sample Rate is 44100, Bit Depth is 24. Yes using ASIO. I just unchecked Load Balancing. Thanks I will give that a whirl...

I'll try that - thanks.
