I’ve watched a bunch of them and learned a lot. Thanks @Robert McClellan

FWIW, on 02/27/2025 I had a project that would not stop playing no matter what I tried. Task manager, etc. showed things running normally (no high CPU for any processes, etc.). Had to kill Sonar via Task Manager. That was the first time that ever happened - never saw it with a prior build. All is running OK now. I'll report back if it happens again.

Wish scook would come back...

Let's hope that bringing back the Theme Editor is on the ToDo list! Some of the Cakewalk themes that users came up with are great...

As has been stated in many other threads, if you have a license for one of the older versions of Cakewalk (that included TTS-1), and install that BEFORE installing the new Sonar, TTS-1 will available. As for the Sonitus plug-ins - they're old, DX, but actually very good. Also, the Staff has said (in a thread I started recently) that an update is in progress for the Sonitus Suite. See https://discuss.cakewalk.com/topic/83803-sonitus-plugins-will-they-remain-in-sonar-and-be-supported/#comments

Thanks @SVSX and @Misha I’ve had good success with both Vocal Rider and Trackspacer so I’ll continue using them. Will have to work more with gain automation as well. So much to learn!

As suggested above by @mettelus and confirmed by @Starship Krupa the Neutron 4 sidechain was not enabled. Haven't used it much so I had to find the (kind of hidden) sidechain menu!

Thanks @mettelus and @Starship Krupa! Great info. I will be testing out your suggestions today.

Thanks @Starship Krupa I’ll keep experimenting and check out the plugins you mentioned.

Thanks @mettelus!

Thanks all for the comments. It seems to be a settings issue. For the rhythmic "chopped" effect the Sonitus Gate works well (for me). I also had luck and got some cool effects with the Kilohearts Trance Gate. Not so much luck with others (like Neutron 4). Guess it's just a matter of experimenting!
