It seems that ever since the latest update to Sonar, opened VSTis ended up creating dummy windows for the VSTi UI that keeps cloning itself over time, and does not close itself. These windows have no applications or processes associated with it, and cannot be closed down. This creates an issue since over time, the Alt+Tab menu would get clogged with dummy/ghost windows and becomes impossible to navigate. Funnily enough, the Win+Tab menu does not have this issue.

I would like a return to the former model as it favours lower income musicians whose incomes aren't the most stable. This is actually one of the main reasons behind my recent decision to go back and reinstall my 13 year-old purchase of Sonar X1 Producer.

It would be nice if the option to pay 1-time for an upgrade for a set amount of time is there as well as the subscription option. I hate Credit Cards and that almost everything arbitrarily requires it.

Sadly you can no longer purchase it. Personally, I think you're better off looking into finding hardware SC-8850s and SC-8820s, and supported MIDI interfaces. I personally use a hardware SC-8850 and a MOTU MIDI Express 128 for Sound Canvas compositions, the advantage of this is that it opens up the door to collecting old synths and not having to worry about futzing around with their old emulation plugins. From my experience, the SCVA plugin is somewhat buggy and may glitch out at times.

VG-Silk 2 runs fine on my end.

As an owner of the hardware XV-5050 I would be biased towards the XV-5080. :3

This seems to have worked with no issues! Thanks!

I am thinking that, given that I have a few sample packs from Platinum Samples purchased for Session Drummer 3, maybe I should reinstall SX1P to get SD3 and open my old projects that use them. My one worry though is that it might install over some of the settings and important files that are installed with Sonar 2025 or CbB, and I want to check and make sure that nothing will break if I do this. I remembered the last time I installed Sonar for Steam while I had Sonar X1 Producer installed and it broke Dimension Pro. I don't want this incident to be repeated if I could help it.

I don't feel comfortable signing up for any subscription tiers, as my financial situation is as stable as a hut in the San Andreas fault. I would like there to be a 1-time fee for each tier with upgrade options available, so I could focus on saving up, and not having to worry about it afterwards. It was said a while back that one-time purchase fees aren't available "at this time" which implies that it might be in the future. I'd want to know for sure if it will be, and when.

That's what I had been doing. I have been using Amplitube 5 CS version 5.2.0 and I had been going into the Custom shop to restore my gear, but to no avail. I also realized that I had the same issue with the Mesa Boogie amp head that was given away as well.

How do I log out of Amplitube?

Is there a reason why loading the amp head results in white noise being generated every few seconds?

I got it for $9.99 too, good stuff!

I wish I have 300 Euros to burn, this is a pretty cool GB.

My body is ready!
