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"

This has been fixed for the next update.

This has now been fixed for the next update.

No need to put in feedback.. it's on my radar. I'll look at it next week.

I'm pretty sure I know what's caused this, and there's a couple of ways this could be fixed... one is easy, one not so... Are you using any modifiers when doing the drag copy to force them to copy as linked? If so, it's probably an easy fix. [EDIT] - fixed for next update.

Set the audio input of your track to a mono input, and it'll record as mono.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention. The translation has now been corrected for the next update. Please let us know if any other translations are incorrect.

Can you send a copy of your project to @Jonathan Sasor? We'll take a look.

@onlyinitforthemoney - I'd strongly recommend going through some video tutorials to see how things work nowadays. I learned most of my workflow on Cakewalk Pro Audio 9, and didn't really change my workflow right the way through to SONAR Platinum. It wasn't until I joined the beta team (before I was staff), that I made the effort to learn all the new stuff by watching some tutorials. It was a HUGE eye-opener. So many things I thought had gone had just been replaced with a different way of doing it, and there are loads of hidden workflow shortcuts I was completely unaware of. There are a bunch of links in the Tutorials section of this forum, but the ones that most helped me were: 1. SWA's Complete Sonar X2 : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TR1DLE2UIfM&list=PLKRYWdEpbc5PgUgvrNuSvVyfv5qkll0qj and the Sonar X3 follow-up: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EX09_s9wsDI&list=PLKRYWdEpbc5MtPslyvpY_tkunB34cvU75 2. Groove3's Sonar Explained and Sonar Platinum Advanced tutorials (needs a Groove3 subscription or can be purchased) P.S... don't skip the stuff you think you already know... there's some real gems (keyboard shortcuts/modifiers etc) in there that aren't apparent.

This is exactly what it's intended use is.

I've only used TouchDAW briefly myself, but abandoned it due to the whole Bonjour / MIDI network setup thing which I found I constantly had to reconfigure. I suspect this is your issue - i.e. when the android is turned off, it's wasting resources trying to look for it. When it's on, delays in the network due to the high CPU usage could be causing the issue. Microsoft are currently working on a native MIDI over network solution that will be built into Windows, so hopefully that will be far more reliable. Another thing it could be... I'm not sure about your machine specs, but many people (mainly laptop users) have major audio issues when the network is busy, and end up disabling it (albeit temporarily) when using their DAW. The issue there is that the network and USB ports used for the audio device are tied to the same resources on the motherboard. Personally, I'd recommend looking at a different control surface solution. If you don't mind not having motorized faders, the Korg nanoKONTROL Studio is fantastic. The nanoKONTROL 2 is pretty good too... I've got one stuck to the wall next to my vocal mic!

Got it in one @Wookiee.

The font it uses is "TtsNote Standard Regular" - it should be in C:\Windows\Fonts. It's not available separately for download.
