That's happened to me before with CbB. In fact, it's happened a couple of times since I switched to Sonar free tier. But when the vocals wouldn't record or playback, I thought it was something different. I should have done what you suggested first.

After looking around in Sonar, I decided to go back to CbB. I opened the project up in CbB and it allowed me to record vocals. When I went back into Sonar, it also allowed me to record vocals. I did not change anything in either Sonar or CbB. I simply looked around to see what was off. Nothing was that I could see. Doesn't make a bit of sense to me, but it works. Thanks for the comments!

When I first downloaded Sonar free tier, I had issues with not being able to hear any sound. I finally configured it so that I could hear playback. However, I was just trying to record vocals, and I can't record vocals. I have it set to input 1, where the mic is plugged in, but no signal gets through. Everything is on, as it always is. This is a Sonar issue, because I never had this issue with CbB. I posted some screenshots in case someone sees something I don't.

Thanks! I appreciate it.

In the photo below I highlighted where it shows that there is only one plugin per track, when there are actually several plugins on those tracks. How do I make all the plugins visible?

Thanks!

This is a little off topic. I apologize. But I'm trying to uninstall a program. In the photo below you see on the left a program called Phil Speiser Control Center. When I click on it, it gives me the option to uninstall, but then it sends me to the window on the right. But the program isn't there. So how do I uninstall the program from my computer?

Update: It took me a while to figure it out. For whatever reason, I had a hard time in Windows 11 finding the sample rate so I could change it. It was set at 48 and I changed it to 44.1. When I played the song back, it was still out of sync. I had changed the driver to ASIO yesterday, but it changed back to something else. So I worked on everything in Windows 11 and Cakewalk to get all the sample rates and drivers and everything else to what they're supposed to be. Finally, it works as it's supposed to. (I hope nothing changes back.) I'm always grateful for the help everyone on this forum provides. Thank you!

For whatever reason, I can't get to it. I'm going to keep trying later today, because that just doesn't seem right.

I finally switched it to ASIO, but the instruments are not in sync. When I press Play, the cursor moves past where the music is supposed to begin before I hear anything. Then none of the instruments are aligned.

For whatever reason, Windows 11 does not allow me to change it on my computer. But CbB works perfectly, so I don't know why Sonar wouldn't.

It keeps changing the sample rate to 48, even after I set it to 44. I included a couple of screen shots so you can see how Sonar automatically set it up. As for audio drivers, I can't access them. I don't know if it's set to ASIO or what. After tinkering for a while, I finally got sound out of it. However, nothing is in sync. The sound is late overall, and the instruments do not align. I'm thinking of uninstalling it then reinstalling it. I can't change the buffer size, and the bit depth is now set to 24. Thoughts?

No. The only DAW I have open is Sonar. I don't even have CbB open. When I open Sonar I get that message every time.

I downloaded and installed the new Sonar free tier. But when I opened it a few minutes ago, I got the message below. I'm not very knowledgeable with computers. Anyway, everything works fine with CbB, but not with Sonar. It will not recognize my interface. I went to Preferences and checked, and Apollo Twin is there for the output. So I do not know why I'm getting this message and why there is no sound during playback.

I went into Preferences and clicked on Disable input monitoring. Problem seems to be solved. I tried recording vocals and they sounded normal, not bright at all. Thanks, everyone, for all your suggestions!
