msmcleod good tip about the track manager, I never even noticed it before.

Thanks for the replies, it wasn't entire tracks that were missing just several measures within tracks. The files before and after the missing space we're intact. Good shortcut about the track manager also, thanks

I didn't change anything, just went from CBB to Sonar. I don't see anything wrong in the file locations in preferences, copy all data is still checked. One of my project folders has each song in it's own folder but none of the others do. Auto-save was every 15 minutes & I thought it was more often, so I just changed it now. I do see the auto-save copies are still in my folders but even the auto-save is missing the same tracks. I just opened CBB & it looks the same as Sonar. One of those unsolved mysteries...thanks for yr input!

Thanks david, I don't have it in front of me right now but as I recall none of the projects were in their own folders in file explorer, whereas they all were in CBB. I'll try what you suggested and see what happens. It seems like a setting has changed inadvertently coming from CBB to sonar? How could this even happen, user error? There's not supposed to be anything different in the free tier sonar from CBB.

I just opened a project I've been working on and the whole first verse is missing except for the vocal, including the arranger track. There's the intro and then several blank measures and then verse 2. I can't imagine what went wrong. I had one mix recall that I must have done at the beginning of the project but it was the same. I went into file explorer to look for a backup but there weren't any and also there were no individual folders for each project like in CBB. Has this changed in sonar? In CBB I used to see the project plus a saved or backup version, I forget exactly what it was called. Any thoughts about how to recover this? Thank you!

Okay that's good to know, usually my issues eventually come down to user error. Still, it wasn't that way yesterday and then today I dnloaded the update before going to work on my project. At any rate I rarely pay attention to the bus outputs because I always keep them just routed to the master, I don't do any fancier routing. Anyway it's solved.

ANSWER: The update changed some of the bus outputs & also unchecked show in/out so I didn't catch it right away. If you hear "ghost tracks," check the bus outputs. I mentioned something similar in the ghost track post. My vocal track outputs to a vocal bus. When I solo the vocal track it comes through both the vocal and a delay bus. I thought it must be something off with the reverb send, even though that makes no sense so I deleted the send and is still outputs to both buses. If I mute either of the buses then there's no sound. I checked the track manager and no hidden tracks. This just happened after dnloading the latest update. Any ideas? Thanks

That's what I think even though most of my issues are user error.

i just had a related issue, & i will read the post about sends Sailor55 listed. I have a vocal track with a delay send coming through to the delay bus even with the send turned off. Pre/post has no effect. Probably my error somehow, but how can a send be heard even when it's off? The workaround was just to delete the send.

Okay thank you.

I'm liking sonar so far, it seems improved over CBB. If I try a subscription for one year but didn't continue it, would I lose whatever updates or assets I get if I return to the free tier? Thanks

Got it, thanks!

, I tried to insert a template and it took me to a folder of presets but not the ones I created. Is there a way to find those? Thanks.

I think it's just me adapting to a new color scheme and seeing things differently than I did before, not a problem

the smart tool

Is there some different usage or significance to the sonar cursor compared to cbb? Or is it just my graphics that make it look different? Thanks. Update I just realized maybe it's all in my head because I have a different color scheme now, so maybe I'm more aware of the cursor than I was in the past?

It specifically the tracks in one of the track folders that don't show up in console view. They're unchecked in the track manager and they do appear once I check the box but disappear again when I try to insert a plug-in

Yes I'm aware of the two posts, I just thought the first one didn't go through because it didn't show up right away.

The views were in sync, but for some reason I had to expand the track folder in the track manager and then check it & it works now. Thanks for the help. I have some instruments in a track folder but they don't show up in console view. I see in the track manager that it is unchecked so I recheck it and they show up until I try to insert a plug-in and they disappear again. It's a bug? Is there a workaround? Thank you

I have some instruments in a track folder but when I switch from track to console view, they don't show. I go to the track manager and see that it's unchecked, I check it and then they show up. I try to insert a plug-in and they disappear again. Is this a bug? Is there a workaround? Thank you.

No I won't uninstall CBB although I could use the space, but I'm moving to a new computer soon. That's a whole different issue, not quite sure how to get sonar back. I think my plugins are okay, they just weren't showing in the little box until I resized it. Rescanning is a good idea however. Grateful to be back on sonar in a more advanced version than the one I paid for. Sonar is a much cooler name than CBB!

Thanks i made the switch. I was putting it off bec it's disorienting at first. I can't see any plugs. I posted about that a while back & will need to look up the response.

I know there are no more activations but how will I know when I'm not able to save my CBB work? Maybe it will be obvious? Sorry if this is dumb...

I think there is a shortcut for these but can't find it...anyone know? Thanks update - I use SOS, not comping so maybe there isn't, I know comping is supposed to be good but I found it crazy-making & much happier with SOS

update - it was the cache. I emptied the cache & it must have been too full. OK now. I'm trying to bounce clips -see track 3, & it doesn't work. I get a little busy message. Any ideas? Thanks.
