Seems like a logical / common sense enhancement. Got my vote!

Thanks @Solidos! I was able to download from PluginBoutique and activate.

Tried to redeem but never got the email they were supposed to send (tried twice and waited several hours. Never got it, not in junk mail, etc.) Sent an email to 'support@babyaud.io' and hope I'll hear from them...

This is why I always use a virtual credit card for all my subscriptions. I set it to the amount needed when first signing up, then change the daily limit to $1, so that any subsequent charges fail. I can then decide whether to renew or not.

Lost my Mom in 2015 - and Dad in 2019 ? To everyone who celebrates Mother's Day this year on May 12th - and still has their Mom around - lucky you! Cherish and enjoy the time you still have with her - all I'll get to do is look at a headstone... :^(

Great guitar and percussion work! I love A Minor....

Slight correction. It's Mike Enjo - and his tutorials about Cakewalk and Sonar are great!

Can’t say I don’t agree. Loved snow when I was younger but once I retire my wife and I are heading south! Anything below 50 degrees is too cold at this age…

Would also be nice if, when you resize the Start Screen, it opens that way each time, rather than at the "default" size. I'm constantly resizing it for each session.

Hi @Shane_B., welcome back to NJ! Lived here my entire life. I’m in Summit, NJ. Look forward to hearing about your new home and studio!

EDIT: Not an issue. Thought I had restarted Sonar (as it says "Requires Restart"), but I may have just closed/reopened the project. After a complete Sonar restart the note blobs scale as well. Nice! Noticed one glitch with the Custom Scaling. When you go above 100% (at least on my 3840x2160) the PRV note names get cut off. Here is 100%: Here is 105% - the top of the note names get cut off. Maybe the note blobs need to scale as well?

Custom display scaling is working great for me too (4k, 3840x2160)- nice feature! Also love that toolbar width is not taken into account when sizing plugin windows: Before fix: After:

I've learned LOTS from Mike Enjo's tutorials. Not that there aren't other great tutorials out there (kudos to @John Vere, @AdK Studios, etc.) but, IMO, Mike just has a unique talent to make things clear, concise, and easily understood.

Thanks Glenn. Guess I'll do that as well - just wondering why the "hide" function does not work for all/some plugins.

Reviving this thread as the "Hide related VST2 plugins" that @Noel Borthwick mentioned (and which I knew about) does not work for me in latest Sonar build (2024.04-BSP Build 431). Not sure if it's across the board, or only for some plugins. Here's an example - I still see the Kilohearts VST2s even though I've got the hide option checked. Is there something I'm missing?

I'm going to download all the free Labs instruments as a lot of them are great ... just in case. I can't handle any more subscriptions and use a Virtual Credit Card for any trials or "50% off" 1-year subscriptions (that I'd be more inclined to keep at the discounted price) - that way, when they try to "automatically" renew, the charge fails.

Hey @Grem, glad you got the NI Jacob Collier Audience Library! Guess I should have been clear that it was a real thing! It's a cool instrument. Love the foot stomps, the "Yes", "No" shoutouts, etc. Highly recommended.

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...
