Click the "ByPass all FX" button in the Mix Module and see if the problem goes away If it does, great! At this point, with FX disabled, I would start varying the ASIO buffer size from absurdly small to wastefully large, so that you build intuition for what a variations in ASIO buffer size should feel like: delays in start/stop, latency on virtual instrument (key press -> sound); clicks, pops, all the way to complete dropout. Okay, now you can re-enable FX and tune the ASIO buffer - if you're not seeing ANY changes (good or bad) as you vary the buffer size, then the problem might not be related to the buffer at all.

That window is the un-maximized ("restored") Piano Roll View window. The top-left corner (icon) should be the regular Windows standard "window control menu", that Microsoft have made such a hash of in recent Windows OS releases. If the Window is active, then Alt-"minus" should display the window control menu , or clicking on the window icon in the top left corner should also display the menu. Looks like Alt-Space and Alt-Minus are not available. One of my pet peeves is windows application developers using MDI windows, but breaking keyboard shortcut conventions. That ship has sailed, to our detriment, as you are discovering.

Hi Kurt. I believe your Piano Roll view is in the following state: It is undocked, disabled floating, and maximized. Click on this window control button to restore:. Then decide whether to "enable floating" or "dock in Multidoc" using the window control menu: Then you can follow the instructions suggested by others in this thread.

How the heck did I miss that!

The elephant in the room here is Geddy's voice. I'm all in favor of Augmented-Rush touring (or more accurately, a short chain of residences), but Geddy barely got through the last tour, and it is 10 years later now. So if Augmented-RUSH includes a new singer, I could believe it was a celebration of the music and not a borderline ego-trip. The suggestion that there will be a possible keyboard player is a good start. Maybe they are testing the waters?

I hate it when this happens. Here's my recommendation: Drag that Latency slider to the right to increase buffers. Exit Sonar Re-open Sonar Open your project and play back. Does this help? I have seen other programs change the latency so that even if you selected it in Sonar, it didn't 'stick' between sessions.

Eye-roll accepted, with shame. Sorry about that.

We have been told that color customization options are "coming soon".

Try changing color themes. Perhaps Mercury Classic is more to your taste. okay, I'm an idiot. Braino, sorry! Yeah NEXT doesn't have themes.

"Eventide's plug-ins do not require an iLok USB dongle. However, they do use the iLok Licensing system, which is installed during plug-in installation."

Matching dragonflies? Nice

The cryptic iconography doesn't help

I've admired Ken Parker's designs for years; more recently enjoyed his Archtoppery series on Youtube - fantastic stuff even if you are not an engineer or luthier, to see a genius craftsman at work, willingly sharing his insights and techniques. Now he needs help paying for cancer treatment. If you are able to, please consider dropping a few $ on his GoFundMe: https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-ken-...le-with-cancer Archtoppery on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@kenparkerarchtoppery9440

I think this was removed a long time ago - the default (and only) behavior is per-project audio folders. It used to be under Preferences > File > Audio Data > [x] Use per-project audio folders, and I've confirmed it is there in SONAR X2.

In case it helps, I have found Synchro Arts' RePitch to be a very acceptable replacement to V-Vocal.

It is definitely part of V-Vocal. If you have a project where the V-Vocal Clip FX wasn't rendered out to audio (applied) then you may be out of luck.

Preferences > colors > [x] Show Strip Colors

Yes, even audio formats that don't support any kind of marker information!!! /snark

I love Frozen Plain, curious about sound samples of this one EDIT: Ah, here are some

Some kind of coherent narrative can help with the response count

For the love of god, let it go Good News: you are entitled to upgrade to the new Sonar for a very low price.

Congratulations, Cakewalk -BandlabTeam!

I don't get this. I mean, sure, custom theming is not supported (yet, cross fingers) but the Mercury Classic color scheme is near as identical to Mercury in Cakewalk By Bandlab.

Some VST plugins manage their own presets and have their own locations. Cakewalk's VST subsystem has its own way of saving presets, available from the VST window header, which works for ALL plugins and of course which works great for plugins that don't do their own preset management and rely on the host's capabilities. Yeah, preset management is a pain, I feel you
