Frank , I've had Way more than my share of crackling , studdering and complete engine dropouts lately. Different problems at different times. I've found that very carefull observation of all the meters in console view points me in the right direction pretty quickly. ms

Ross , I think the transition to lo-fi was Much better but .. I think the bottom still abruptly dropped out. Just my 2 cents .. I think a hard final kick hit on the very last note with it's fx decaying naturally would resolve it. I think it would bring the ending in line with the rest of the song. Enjoyed it again .. 😁 mark

Very Cool production Ross ! I got a little "Talking Heads" vibe during the intro . I liked the abrupt ending , but I think it could have a little more impact. Sounded like part of it was cut off , missing some lows or maybe the reverb/delay wasn't allowed to ring out. Enjoyed it , nice groove .. mark

Set the metronome output to an Aux track instead of the metronome bus. Arm the aux and record it like you would do any other audio track. If that doesn't work you sure have a problem ..

Fantastic production and Killer ferformance ! I think you milked each instrument for all they were capable of keeping with the theme and feel of the song. I'm sure it's going to be a Steller album. It's always a "pleasure" to watch Larry's drumming. Looks like he's talking to them telling them to "get ready" I'm fixing to smack you. Highly impressive Loved it .. mark

Great writing Barry ! I love the way your lyrics smoothly tell a story and don't get sidetracked always keeping everything focused. As far as lyric suggestions .. I think last verse line "just wanna find what I Found before " could be changed to "had" before. I also think "bury me in my native soil" could be brought back in again during the fade out. Fantastic job. Loved it .. mark

Yes , and I've turned it off then back on several times. (Good question) .. I've compaired my settings against CbB and haven't found anything different. When I press play or use the spacebar it jumps back to the beginning then plays. I'll do some further troubleshooting and open a thread in the proper place if I can't get it resolved. Thanks .. ms

Thanks @equality for the listen and comment 👍 @steve@baselines.com , I'm presently using the free version of Sonar. I am having a few problems with pro channel modules (UI) and transport issues where the cursor just stops where it is when using the spacebar , instead of returning back to the now time. Yes the countdown is annoying . I work "offline" so I also get a "can't login" message that I have to clear after that. I remember the same countdown was present in CbB for a while. Hopefully this won't last forever. ms

I had a few custom settings in CbB that went to Cakewalk "core" that I had to move to "Sonar" to use them. ms

Special thanks to @Kevin Walsh , @Ross Smithe , @Larry T. , @treesha , for the listen and further comments. I'm on my second Sonar project now and having some minor problems , hopefully I'll sort them out. Thanks .. mark

@DeeringAmps , Thanks Tom , Always nice to get a thumbs up from you .. @Paul Bush , I appreciate the listen and comment and Yes .. I definetely need to work on that snare. Going back in .. ms

Hello , here is another dropped "d" funk instrumental. Same old instruments , acoustic/electric and lap steel. First project in "Sonar" just checking things out and trying a few different things. No static panning except for the drums and bass. Everything is moving around gently. (headphone help). This is also the first time using "channel tools" for widening or mono to stereo conversion. Special thanks to @David Baay for his comments in the tutorials section in the "converting mono to stereo thread". Anything sticking out that need attention , let me know . Thanks .. mark https://soundclick.com/share.cfm?id=15048216

No I haven't. I must have installed it on my laptop after the update. Just finishing a project , I'll update shortly. I didn't realize there had been an update this quick. Thanks .. mark

It is showing up on my laptop , with no other daws installed on it. It is not showing up on my offline studio pc. Thanks .. ms

I made 9 passes recording this morning before it happened. I pressed "undo" for my last take , saved and shut down. When I opened the project again "Bias FX 2" amp sim. on my lead guitar (that I was tracking) was muted in the UI . I had a hard time getting it to stay "unmuted". I don't think it's playing well with Sonar.. I'll contact their support if it persists and when I'm confident this is my problem. I managed to finish the track and will try it again on my next project. I'm calling it resolved for now .. Thanks ms.
