Wow, good catch, I didn't think of that. This particular user has done things like that right in front of me. That is probably what happened. EDIT - I went back over the whole thread and have to credit @Amberwolf for making that call immediately after I posted!

Well it should warn on the box - not for singer/mixers 🤣

Good idea on turning Autosave on

Yes - they were imported from a recording made on a digital mixer. We did screen shots of the plugin settings and the volume automation lanes but still a lot of work to get that mix back. The project had been saved after importing the raw tracks.

Heads up, I know most of you would never let the following happen, but I think it's worth mentioning. My singer was mixing some live tracks off the board from a recent performance using Sonar Free. He worked for hours on a song without saving and left it open for me to check out which was the next day. I thought he did good work so I clicked Save Project and was told you can't save until you activate Sonar. I logged onto to Bandlab but that wasn't enough, Sonar insisted the program had to be updated before activation could happen. So that mix went out the window 😒. I hope they offer a perpetual license soon.

Been migrating over to Sonar. Heads up tip - there is a "Sonar" folder inside the "Cakewalk Content" folder that has all the same folders as subfolder "Cakewalk Core". I copied the project templates I use to the "Project Templates" folder under folder "Sonar".

I used Reaper free for a couple of years - I think the delay got up to about 30 seconds. I just wasn't recording that much so I didn't buy it until I got busier recording. The delay never bothered me; I always tuned my guitar while it it counted down.

Yes, until now I've been sticking with Cakewalk by Bandlab. I'm now using the free tier Cakewalk Sonar.

I've been using CbB up until today. Just installed Cakewalk Sonar for the first time. This is a big upgrade for my setup. I have a 4k monitor - it looks much better which I think is important. I've mixed for an hour and added a few tracks. Nothing I use is missing.

I don't have any Orange Tree products - was very interested a few years back in their 12 string rickenbacker. What is the best way for a new customer to take advantage of group buy?

Lounge Lizard 4 and VB3 1.4 were my original two VST plugins that got me started. Someone moving out of a loft near our business left behind an XP-80 that suffered the epoxy meltdown (weights under keys fall off and pink goop gets onto circuit boards below). After I got it cleaned up and the weights re-epoxied I started looking for the vintage keyboard card. Someone on a keyboard forum advised me to check out VB3 and LL4 and I've never looked back. I've gravitated to Cherry Audio 140B Wurlybird for EP. Still use LL4 for Rhodes though.

I have Total Studio Max 2 which includes most TR5 plugins up until that time. I only use them in my DAW, if I do the Humble Bundle the 19 licenses included in the standard release will be updated to the TR6 versions. It shouldn't affect my other TR5 plugins that came with Max 2 in this scenario - correct?

Watched a few videos of people using it to tweak the drum bus which would be helpful for us when looking for a quick turnaround of a mix which happens when we record rehearsals and want to send out a decent sounding two track to band members. UPDATE: I decided to buy it - just applied to some band recordings. It is a quick way to improve the drum bus sound.

I found this thread when troubleshooting a problem where the volume automation was correctly set to be read on a channel but there was no movement of the volume slider. There was some kind of bug (version 2024.17 (Build 125 64bit) where it just wouldn't work until I restarted Cakewalk. Reading this thread and watching a video did help me finally understand the button functions in the toolbar Mix section, main channel and the automation lanes.

AZSlow works great for the single channel FaderPort but not for FaderPort 8 or 16. Just posting here because I interpreted the post not noticing FaderPort vs the multi slider versions and was disappointed to find it didn't support multiple channels.
