Thanks, everyone! Cakewalk 9 was the right one. Time to make some music now...

I've mentioned this is a very specific project. In fact, I need to access the few samples on the EMU chips from a SoundBlaster sound card. So, I need to use SoundFont directly with SoundBlaster. I'm familiar with the old sfZ player (I usually use VSTSynthFont myself). I think that Cakewalk Pro Audio 9 was the last to support it natively... Do you confirm ?

Hi, I need to reinstall an older setup for a specific project. I've purchased nearly every version of Cakewalk since 1998, and I'm trying to find the last version that natively implemented SoundFont technology. Do you happen to remember which one that was? Thanks for helping me avoid reinstalling every version just to test this out! 😄

Since switching to Sonar, I've had a problem with some of my old files. It's not immediate. At one point, when I click on the track name to edit it, I can select everything with a double click but I can no longer click in the middle of a word to correct it if necessary. If I create a new file, I don't have this problem. Strange, isn't it?

Without show ProChannel, could be possible to open the EQ zoom windows directly in the Inspector EQ ? Like this ?

Besides, if the measurement was on the screen when space is possible, that would be great!

Hi cclarry, Could you you explain us who you use Animation Station with Cakewalk ? Its seems a cool plugin

Hello, 1. I’ve a request on the score view. It’s possible to add a double white note for writing on scores? A simple white is ok, unfortunately the longest note disponible (a white pointed note) is rather rare in use ... 2. I’ve just seen the new bitwig DAW, I found that the multiple native LFO for control everything is a really good idea. Imagine the power of control, as the random life who comes with that ! Thanks to developers c.

I've some olds projects that i'v recorded at 44.1hz. With my Behringer X32, i used to set the bitrate to 48hz. But when I load my old projects, I have to quit Cakewalk (it won't play the 44,1 file with 48hz by default) change the bitrate on the mix desk et re-open Cakewalk. It's a waste of time. But, ok, it is some olds projects. But. I forget to change the bitrate for new projects and, at some point, I realize that I have made good progress in a new project whose new plugins seem to be optimized for 48Hz. And that bothers me cause I'm in 44,1hz... There is no way that Cakewalk can't read on the fly these audios waves with another bitrate ?

@Kevin Perry you've got the point ! That was actually what created these stranges files. Problem solved !

And my AUD.ini file if it can help ?AUD.INI

So, I've delete these "_" before "Caches directory". Nothing different happens. I've verify the "Always Open All Devices" parameter, it's uncheck. Unfortunately, nothing different happen. Again. There are always about fifty files created before reading. I do not find the manipulation that forces to rewrite them? In any case, it certainly happens every time I load a new VST. Take a look to my others preferences :

And everything in the preferences seems correct ?

I changed the language of Cakewalk and the result is the same ...

These files are unreadable and their size is only 4 ko. I cannot copy them out of the folder as they are "being read" by Cakewalk.

Hello, Every time I create a project, Cakewalk automatically creates a significant number of wave files as soon as I insert a VSTi. The program erases them and recreates them regularly. Take a look : Sometimes it is long. After a long time of work I can arrive at numbered files close to 9999! It bothers me when I work on an SSD because it "unnecessarily" uses my disk ... Not to mention that the erasure and creation time is sometimes one minute between the PLAY key and the playback of the song? It's annoying. I've also make a screen video:

Hi, I work a lot with instruments tracks, but how can I change the input of an instrument (eg: assigning inputs 3 + 4 rather than 5 + 6) ? I have to divide the instrument track to see the correct entry, change it and append again !

Brilliant ! And with automation lane on tempo it will be perfect

I admit I never thought about it ?

Of course, I split the Instruments track each time to access the mod wheel parameters. But I would prefer it to be implemented by default.

Hi, It wuld be nice to have full options when loading Instrument Track. If you look at the image attached, I loaded an instrument asking for 2 track per Outputs. On the second, the automation options are not complete. In addition, I find that it lacks the MIDI automation which should be there by default whatever the instrument loaded (it's annoying to have to find the CC assigned by Native of ModWheel in a list as long as the arm .. .). Many thanks for continuing to work on Sonar !!!

Thank you so much. But, honestly, do not you think that it could be integrated into the program, is not it?

I'm used to using a friendly name for MIDI and audio. Unfortunately, I very often change the configuration of my studio .... And the friendly names are unchecked gradually. The big problem is that the names of the associated instruments keep the order of preference. For the example : SYNTH1 = Patches name synth1 SYNTH2 = Tones name synth2 SYNTH3 = Performance name synth3 Next time : SYNTH1 = Patches name synth1 SYNTH3 = Tones name synth2 SYNTH4 = Performance name synth3 oups...

I do not know if it is possible (I am not a computer expert), I would like an improvement for the MIDI configuration. Let me explain: I have a lot of synthesizers (really) but they do not all work at the same time. Some are even occasionally connected via USB. Sometimes I forget to connect the power to a part of the studio that I don't need and the USB hubs that power the MIDI hubs are not active. As a result, for each launch of Cakewalk, I have to go to the Preferences>MIDI>Instruments to assign the right instruments to the right MIDI ports. After 20 years, it starts to become boring:) Is it possible that Sonar remembers the reference of the drivers corresponding to such a port? Thus, it would be stored in memory and automatically recovered in each branch until one decides to forget this event for a reason? This rather than a constant shift of the MIDI ports.
