I got the free Jacob Collier Audience Choir from Native Instruments. It's fun!! https://www.native-instruments.com/en/products/komplete/vocal/jacob-collier-audience-choir/

@Bristol_Jonesey, I think there should be some delineation between them. As I mentioned - not a graphic artist, so my sample line is much thicker/wider than it would need to be. Just a subtle line would be great, in my opinion.

I still hope that the Bakers can do something to separate the ProChannel strip from the Track, as mentioned previously. Note: Obviously, I am not a graphic artist. This is just to get the idea across: :^)

In ProChannel, I see it under Insert Module:

From what I've learned, you can download/install Sonar. It is technically in pre-release status but is probably close to fully baked. You need a Backstage Pass in order to save a project (after the 3-day trial period). I'd suggest paying for a monthly backstage pass until they formally release pricing, as we don' yet know whether it will be subscription based, one time price, both, etc.

Thanks Glenn for testing. I'll do more testing tomorrow and post my findings.

Thanks David - that worked to prevent the drop out on an empty project. That quirk was just something I noticed, but I still have no idea why the audio engine craps out so often with the Toontrack products - or whether it's Toontrack or Cakewalk/Sonar that causes the issue. I'm tagging @Noel Borthwick and @msmcleod to see if they can offer any insight, or of there is anything I can test for them to try and figure out why the Toontrack dropouts happen so often/predictably.

Empty project has no Toontrack stuff. Also, just loading a stock template, pressing spacebar will kill audio engine. David, not sure what you mean by this...

Those are the only ones I've noticed it on where it occurs regularly. Getting the dropout when opening a new, empty project and pressing spacebar is a new phenomenon.

I'm still having audio engine dropouts when using Toontrack products (EZdrummer, Bass, Keys) as described in this thread: The problem persists in the latest build of Sonar. Not sure if it's a Toontrack issue or a Sonar issue. I've also noticed that if you load a new project template (mine or a stock one), the audio engine will stop if you just hit the spacebar. This did/does not occur in CbB, Can anyone reproduce this? I'm wondering if there is an underlying issue with my installation that can be causing the dropouts.

Great song and excellent video! Very polished and professional.

Great tune - and cool guitar solo. My only comment would be that the drums are a bit "lost" - they don't seem present enough - but it could be the fault of my speakers.

I don't see it either and on current build (417).

Thanks Jonathan. Won't be back at PC until later and will see if all looks well. I may try running the update again just to see if it reoccurs. No updates were running or pending.

@Jonathan Sasor, I think it was at the end of the update. All seems to be OK. Not sure if I should try applying it again, and I don’t think I saw the update file in my downloads folder.

Yes, @Helios.G, I was online during update.

Got notifies of update and installed. All seems to be working but got this error at end of install. Anyone else get this? I submitted a Problem Report.

Thanks for the input @David Baay. I agree that we need to give the Bakers some latitude to process all the user input. I'm confident that they'll address everything in due time. I'm a long-time user and look forward to using Sonar for many years to come!

I mentioned this earlier in this thread. Is it just me or does anyone else find that the ProChannel strip overlaps the track strip? Seems to me that the ProChannel strip should be more to the right and there should be some kind of separation line between the 2 strips.

I noticed that the ProChannel strip overlaps the track strip, and there is also no visual separation between them. As you can tell by my example I am no graphic artist, but hopefully it gets the idea across... ?

Thankyou @John Vere. I've learned so much from your excellent tutorials!

That was a fabulous interview - it's amazing how he effortlessly recalled events and people in his amazing life.

I signed up for Backstage Pass trial, then paid for monthly. Got billed $14.95 on March 15th. Today I got an email offering me 50% off but the link takes me to my account page with nowhere to redeem it and tells me I'm already subscribed? Anybody else get this and figure out how to get the 50% off?

On my 4k 3840x2160 @100% the Fader levels are tough to read. They look gray and, um, faded ? It would be nice if the numbers were a bit larger (or you could customize - Themes!!!)

Just checked. Looks like build 403 fixed this issue. Thanks Bakers!
