@DescendingIntoVertigo I think a lot of Cakewalk users will totally agree with your evaluation of the new releases. And yes it’s mostly the unfinished product that is missing a way to customize the graphics. I think Next was created specifically to finally have a cross platform Cakewalk product. I think it was targeted at the Bandlab App users. Judging by the almost zero activity on the sub forum seems like a bit of a looser in the Daw community. It almost seems like only one person is in its development. It has a potential but there’s way too many other Daw’s that are either free or low cost. Removing the instruments from the free version made no sense to me. I won’t bother installing it again. Sad because I like it in strange way. I wish them luck. Sonar was not quickly adopted by Cakewalk users and now they have to decide whether they want to stay on the bus.

I would imagine that Sonar stores the video in a folder? I’ve never worked with video in Sonar so not sure. But if so then you should have access to both the video file and the audio files. This might then be easier to fix using a professional video editing software. The big question is when you say it is only out of sync with the export? In other words it played in sync inside Sonar? So it would seem to me you have the option of dropping the video with out the audio into video editing software and then only export the audio mix down from Sonar and then drop that into the video editor as well. Another option is open the project in the new Sonar and see if that works better.

In your screenshot l see you have added an underscore after the brackets (project name) That would explain why

The best practices for Cakewalk products has always been installing the oldest version first and go from oldest to the newest. My routine after I re installed Windows 11 is 8.5, X3 then running CCC to install the goodie’s and Splat. No point in installing CbB for me I just installed Free Sonar. I might install Free Next but don’t see much point because it doesn’t have any instruments which is why I kinda like it. Audacity has the best stem separation tool out of all the free software I tried.

In my experience vst 64 go to the Program Files vst folder and 32 bit go to the x86 folder. So I never scan that folder. When I run the installers using the CCC it always asks me what version I want to install. &nbsp I have those plug ins and they work perfectly fine for me in Sonar.

Heads up. A while back I was having Sonar crashes when opening projects. Windbg pointed at Sonar. Exe. Safe mode revealed it was a bunch of Pro Channel modules. Support always tells you to perform a clean install because they don’t have a solution. It never worked for me. And in the end I lost all my personal data from the last 5 years. So personally I’m not a big fan of the clean install.

Interesting. The OP came back 24 hours after posting but didn’t respond. .

Seems simple. Just open each of the accounts and see which one shows you have a membership active. It would seem you successfully changed your password to one of them. I had two accounts for a couple of years and I had no problem logging into each one. But only one had the membership. Don’t let Google auto fill the log in.

Which audio modes did you try? Creative labs has a long history of producing an ASIO driver that doesn’t pass the Steinberg specifications.

Yes and then I simply use Replace and then add the VST3 version. I personally have no issues with VST 3 versions of my collection. My method keeps the menu clean.

The instructions for the clean install is a starting point but in my case it didn’t resolve my issue.

I simply use plug in manager an exclude the unwanted version.

First uninstalling Product Centre will not have any effect whatsoever on Sonar or Cakewalk. It is simply an alternative way to install and update Cakewalk products. It doesn’t seem to be inclusive. You can install Cakewalk, Next and Sonar simply by using the download links on the web pages. Not sure what issue you’re trying to solve by uninstalling Sonar. Re installing with out obliterating all traces which involves editing the register rarely solves software issues. If you simply use the latest version installer you will find in your downloads folder that will be the same as attempting to delete it . It should repair or replace the original.

Best practices. Download and install the latest Drivers from the manufacturer website. Important- Follow the instructions! Make sure the version says that it supports your current OS. Connect the interface when instructed to. Look in Windows settings/ Sound and confirm that the device is the default. Disable all other audio devices especially HDMI. Set Windows to the same sample rate you want to use in your Daw. Now open your Daw and set the driver to ASIO. Cakewalk/ Sonar will have an issue if there’s any Generic audio drivers present on your system. They should be removed completely from the apps list and in the register.

Same here. Mine seems fine. It seems that people are reporting random graphic glitches in Sonar. Do you have a second computer to test this?
