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!

Thanks @Glenn Stanton. No Win updates installed, and as mentioned above, build 403 seems to have fixed the issue.

I'll check further later, but build 403 seems to have fixed the issue. Thanks for the heads up @Bristol_Jonesey

I did not try a reinstall of Sonar yet. I can reproduce the issue, and it seems to only happen with my local projects and with one of my templates. It does not occur (AFAIK) with the stock templates. This was not happening a few days ago. Wonder if it was the latest update that caused it?

@msmcleod, will things also improve for 4k 3840x2160?

Thanks DeeringAmps. I did buy Backstage Pass and Sonar is activated.

Is this only happening to me? > Start Sonar > Open something using the "Local Projects" option from the Quick Start Screen Note how many menu items are missing! No Close, Save, etc. Also, only File/Edit/Utilities/Help appear. Very weird. It's the menu you expect when there is no project open, when it should be the full menu (when a project is open): It was happening sporadically, but now it's happening every time I open a Local project. Even if I open multiple projects at the same time, there is no way to switch between them. I have to just exit Sonar to close them all. If I open Quick Start, use the "Create" option, and then load a template, and all the menu choices re-appear. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Also, sometimes I see 2 instances of Workspaces in the Control Bar with only 1 project open: And, even if you close the last remaining open project, you still see the 2 instances when the Quick Start Screen is displayed (and there is no project open):

Add me to the list experiencing blurriness in Sonar. This is on my Samsung 55" Crystal 4k UHD AU 8000 HDR TV, 3840x2160 with Gigabyte GeForce RTX 3060 Gaming OC (rev 2.0), 12GB of GDDR6 VRAM / 7680 x 4320 Max Digital Resolution. Here are some side-by-side images from CbB and Sonar. Sonar seems more blurry. I'm clueless when it comes to this vector graphics stuff, just hoping things can be made sharper and maybe with larger fonts - note how much smaller the fader font is on Sonar.

I'm having this issue with Sonar, but not sure it is expected behavior, as I get conflicting messages saying Sonar is fully activated and also that it must be reactivated? I signed up for Backstage Pass and will be billed on March 15th (so technically still in trial period)? Also strange is that under Help it says this: I signed up for monthly pass, so I'd assume it would say through 4/16/2024.

Nothing has changed on my system (other than installing Sonar). It did not happen today after a restart last night. Hopefully it was an anomaly,

"Sonar is now activated" However, "Sonar must be reactivated within 1 day" ???

Did the update - did not help.

Don't think it is a memory issue...

And this is what I get when I try starting Cakewalk (which always worked fine before)..

Ugh. This is happening every time I lock my Win10 PC and then log in and start Sonar ($14.95 paid version). Need to restart my PC every time. This never happened with CbB...

Was able to check and its working for me as well.

I'll test it later today. I was using non-activated version, not sure if that matters.

@msmcleod, this issue also exists in Sonar 2024.03, Build 381

I did not revert to an earlier build to test, but the tests done by @User 905133 and @John Vere seem to confirm that it was the update when TTS-1 was removed that caused the issue. "Instrument track per output" option on the new Add Track dialog simply does not work in the latest build (2024.02, Build 98).

@sjoens, what are you talking about?

Thanks @John Vere! I'm gonna go get my bug spray!

Maybe @John Vere can comment - I've learned a lot from his tutorials (Thanks John!!) and he knows his way around Cakewalk!
