I'm at 2025.07 Build 109, X64 ... I've been noticing this issue for awhile, possibly even before moving to Cakewalk Sonar paid version ... I often use the FX button on the control bar to bypass all FX, either for checking mixes, or to improve performance briefly while doing live recording. So to turn all the FX back on, I hit the FX button again ... BUT I've been seeing that often there are a few tracks where the FX bin shows Bypass FX Bin is still checked. It doesn't happen on all tracks, usually only a few of them. I'm reasonably sure it's caused by using the global FX bypass on the control bar. And it catches me by surprise because I'm not in the habit of checking every FX Bin after using global bypass. I should say that I very very rarely Bypass the FX Bin on individual tracks ... my habit has been all or none. Anyone else had this happen?

Cakewalk Core Plugins Feedback
Jim Stamper replied to Noel Borthwick's topic in Instruments & Effects
I've been a heavy user of Sonitus for years, and they've been great. I'm having some separation anxiety. 😬 Once I install the new Core plug-ins, will the Sonitus plug-ins still be available to me in my registered plug-ins list? Is there any guidance on how long Sonitus will be supported? -
Are you using the free version or paid version? I have the paid version on Windows 11 and didn't have any of these problems. I haven't updated to the new "core vst" version, I'm taking a wait and see position on that ... because I share your concern that the monthly updates can have unintended consequences

I gave that a try, it takes more screen space of course, and in my opinion doesn't help readability very much. I also tried making all the folder tracks a single background color that's not already used in the audio or midi tracks. That takes more time and also doesn't help readability enough in my opinion.
-
I agree with these posts, I'll add that on my PC it seems that switching to one of the Mercury themes makes the PRV background very light, which I find much easier to work with.

I had a hard time "seeing" things in the new Sonar, until I switched to the Mercury or Mercury Classic color scheme, and using my own track / buss colors. The biggest UI item on my wish list BY FAR is please do something to make Folder tracks appear differently than midi & audio tracks. I would suggest Folder tracks should use a slightly bolder and/or larger font, give it colorized track icon that looks like a manilla folder (ie. like Windows folder icons), allow me to change the font & font color on folders to be different from tracks, and indent tracks within the folder just a tad more so the nested look is more apparent. (if I have control over any of these elements, that's not apparent to me) I use Folders extensively and it's a great way to organize my tracks in a project.

I asked earlier how to share a file. Am I supposed to upload it to this forum? Attached to a thread like this?

I don't have any problem calling it redrawing, I just hope the issue can be fixed in the future. It happens a lot on my system so I thought others on the forum might have seen it as well. Thanks
-
Yes, that's exactly right. Thanks
-
Yes, I tried that. That one's always worth a try. Thanks

Getting it re-drawn isn't the problem, but is a work-around to make the tracks "whole" again until the next time they truncate. I can force a re-draw by flipping to a different screen view and back again. Clicking on the right edge of the track pane is just a faster way to re-draw it. Maybe all of these clues could give the bakers an idea of where the real problem might be. Until then I live with a work around. Thanks
-
I tried this. The moment I grab the right edge, all of the truncated tracks instantly snap back to a normal non-truncated display. This is the best work-around for now. Thanks!

Here's a video of the issue. Sorry, it's poor quality. What's happening here is some tracks are truncated. I collapse a folder view, then uncollapse it, the tracks look normal again (the normal segment of the video is very brief at the end). This happens regardless whether they are folder tracks, or regular tracks in a folder. Some of these folders contain plug-ins, some folders only have audio tracks Truncated tracks.mp4

I didn't change any settings from CbB to Sonar, it seemed that the Sonar installation did a great job of duplicating settings. My goal in this forum was to see if anyone else had it happen and might have a definitive fix, and also to give awareness to you bakers of a possible issue. Thanks as always!
-
Getting it re-drawn isn't a problem. I just open a different view (Console or PRV) then go back to Track View and it is 'fixed' until it happens again. Also, it can happen with any tracks in any folders. There are not 'problematic tracks'. Looking at templates is an interesting idea. For me, the bottom line is I had hoped someone might have a definite solution, and if not, at least I'm raising awareness with the bakers. Thanks!
