This has been fixed for the next update.

Maybe some dirt in your ctrl key? I only say this because I had exactly the same issue at one point, and that was the cause.

The best track arrangement I find for drum tracks is a single MIDI track routed to a single drum synth, and separate audio tracks for the outputs, then all of those tracks routed to a single drum bus. This way I can edit all of my drum notes in one place, have separate FX on the outputs, and a single volume control (the drum bus) for overall volume.

Make sure both the tracks are selected in the PRV's track selector.

I too prefer Maxell. I recently found some old tapes in the attic from > 30 years ago that had old 4-track (Yamaha MT1X) / 8-track (Yamaha MT8X) recordings on them. The Maxell ones (XL-II and XL-IIS) sounded like they were recorded yesterday. The TDK ones (SA and SA-X) were unusable - warbled and muffled. In fact, I remember having this issue with TDK just a few months after recording on them, which is the main reason I stopped using them. I suspect the bias is slightly different between the two as well, and the multi-trackers were more suited to the Maxells' bias.

Normally it would be, but in this case its me near the Bavarian alps drinking some Bavarian dark ale.

You need to be online to see the BandLab sounds.

Fixed for next update.

Yes, I've got the MU100R and also an MU10... to be honest, the MU10 gets more use than the MU100R simply for convenience. I've had it in my rig for a while now - I use the analog inputs for my Yamaha TX81Z and Kawai K1R as I can use the MU10 to add chorus/reverb to them. I plan to replace the PLG150-VH with an PLG150-DX at some point, if I can find one that isn't ridiculously expensive!

I've seen a couple of instances where AZController forgets its current preset for some reason. Try re-opening the AZController dialog from the Utilities menu, reselecting the preset and saving.

If you need a free one, I've used this from time to time - I've got several XG hardware modules, so I only normally use this if I'm out & about with my laptop. It's 32 bit and essentially abandonware though: https://veg.by/en/projects/syxg50/ I've always used it through jBridge, and it works perfectly for me - I'm not sure how well it plays with Sonar's BitBridge.

I used to use a CAL script for this - best to read through the code and edit as required... it looks like you need to pre-create the 6 destination tracks first. ; clean up errors in sequence ; remove repeated notes (do (int noteTime 0) (int noteKey 0) (forEachEvent (do (if (== Event.Kind NOTE) (do (if (&& (== Event.Time noteTime) (== Note.Key noteKey)) (do (delete) (= noteTime 0) (= noteKey 0) ) (do (= noteTime Event.Time) (= noteKey Note.Key) ) ) ) ;

If you press CTRL + End, that will move the Now time to the end of the project. If it's way beyond the end of the song then you have data past where you think the song ends (most likely automation envelopes). To remove everything past the song end, turn on Ripple Edit All, make a selection from where you want the project to end to this point, then delete.

Neither Sonar Free Tier or Sonar Premium will install on Windows 7 as it relies on Windows API calls that Windows 7 does not support.

Actually, Next simply maps the GM instruments to BandLab instruments when in imports the MIDI file. Not all GM instruments have an equivalent BandLab instrument mapping - some may use a similar sounding instrument or use a piano as default, and program changes within a track are not supported.

Unless you have "Keep Track/Console Visibility States in sync" checked, each track has a separate visibility state for the track view and console view. In other words, you can have a track visible in the track view, but invisible in the console view (or vice versa). Unless you've got a specific reason for tracks to have different visibility between the two, I'd recommend keeping this checked. The "old" Track Manager (as shown in CbB / Sonar Free Tier) is context aware - i.e. if you launch from the track view, it's showing the track view visibility; if you launch from the console view, it's showing the console view visibility. To make the track visible in the console view, either: 1. Open the Track Manager from the console view, and ensure its checked there; or 2. Just ensure "Keep Track/Console Visibility States in sync" is checked - that way it shouldn't matter where you launch Track Manager from. The new Track Manager in Sonar Premium is also context aware, but you can clearly see which view you're altering by the highlighted buttons at the top - you can also switch context within the view.

It could also be duplicate notes? Check the Event View to see if the notes have been added more than once.

Yes, Melodyne is required to perform the Audio to MIDI conversion.

@Happy Family Singers - what you describe with the mouse sounds suspiciously like the issue I had when using the on-board Realtek sound device in ASIO mode. The Realtek ASIO driver doesn't even pass the basic Steinberg ASIO driver tests, and shouldn't be used. If you plan to use an on-board audio device, switch to WASAPI mode by pressing P for preferences, and select WASAPI Exclusive from Audio->Playback and Recording. If you're having problems switching modes, try: 1. When the start screen appears, just close it without choosing a project or template 2. Select "Get Started" from the help menu, which will go through the on-boarding wizard again. On the Audio Setup page, click the Advanced section to change your driver mode to WASAPI.

Aha - a clever solution... delete the note then add it again so the new one isn't selected.

FYI - regardless of what bit setting you choose for your project / audio files, Sonar/CbB will always use floating point for internal mixing. This will be 32 bit floating point by default, or 64 bit floating point if you check 64 bit DPE in preferences.

Two things: 1. There's no such thing as Note - you probably meant Event 2. Neither Note.Selected or Event.Selected is a thing. You can't actually select individual events using CAL, as the selection is the thing forEachEvent is iterating over. You can select whole tracks using CAL using TrackSelect, but not individual events.

There's a possibility this could happen if you open a project with nested folders in and older version of SONAR (e.g. Platinum or X3), save it, then re-open it in Sonar. It's less likely, but in theory possible, if you did the same with CbB and Sonar as there have been bug fixes done in Sonar that aren't present in CbB. It's also possible that it's nothing to do with folders at all, and something is failing in the loading of those tracks causing them to lose which folder they're in. Best thing to do is send a problem project (in its original problem state - i.e. don't save it again in Sonar) to @Jonathan Sasor and we can investigate. Just the cwp file will suffice.

Compare ALL of the export options between CbB and Sonar. If this doesn't help, most plugin issues can be worked around by doing a real-time render. Also, make sure your bounce buffer size is set to "Playback Size"
