aleo

Wookiee, thanks for responding. I tried the Reset and re-scanned all my VST plug ins, but neither TH-U or ProChannel Concrete Limiter appeared. Went to the Cakewalk Products site and was able to find and download TH-U; I probably won't need the Limiter plug-in. I'm a little confused about your advice on solving the problem of no off-line help by downloading Documents(?). Where will I find the Documents file or folder to download for Sonar. I thought it was part of the Sonar program. Please advise.

I recently downloaded and installed Sonar 2024.08, Build 571. I'm running Windows 10 on my DAW computer, and the installation went smoothly. I opted to have Sonar use the same settings in Preferences that I use in CbB and again everything seems to be working fine so far, but I have encountered a few anomalies. When I click on Documents for offline help in the Help menu, I get a "Failed to Launch Help " message. I've checked " Always use local Help" in Preferences, so is Local Help available in Sonar? Oddly enough I also get this same massage when I click on Keyboard Shortcuts in the Help menu, yet Keyboard Shortcuts is working fine. Second problem: I don't see TH-U or ProChannel Concrete Limiter listed in the Plugin Manager, even after doing several plug-in scans; Sonar can't find them. Can you provide me with a path?

Thanks so much for sharing this wonderful interview with us, Criag. The growth of electronic music and the genesis of the early synthesizers back in the late fifties, the sixties, and seventies--it was an incredible time. I was lucky to have personally known a couple of these people and some of the students or engineers that worked with them. I'm grateful for being around then, if only as an enthusiastic observer, supporter, and experimenter.

I'll always have a soft spot in my heart for Francis Lai's beautiful theme for A Man and a Woman (Claude Lelouch, 1966). This film (winner of the Cannes Grand Prize and Oscar for Best Foreign Film) and Kubrick's stunning 2001: A Space Odyssey were my primary inspirations for becoming a film director. Among the more recent releases, I highly recommend Daniel Pemberton's haunting love theme from Edward Norton's neo-noir, Motherless Brooklyn. Sorry, I don't have any pictures of artwork to post.

Glenn and Tom, Many thanks for responding. I've taken notes on your suggestions; I know they'll come in handy when make the transition.

I'm planning on making the transition from CbB to Sonar a few weeks from now, but have a few questions. Has a new Reference Guide been published for Sonar or will one be coming soon? What is the best way to preserve and transfer your old Cakewalk Content and Projects to the new Sonar. Does the Cakewalk website offer advice or a video on how to make a good transition such that nothing is lost that you want to keep?

I like the new automation smoothing feature; hope the developers continue to make improvements that make automation easier to use. Also want to wish Mike well and hope to see many more of his excellent videos on the new Sonar.

I prefer to work with my DAW computer offline most of the time. The pop-up ad for Sonar that I experience doesn't interfere with the program in any way; it's just an annoying 19 sec. delay (count-down to Close) every time I initiate CW. Is there any way to prevent the pop-up from recurring while you are working offline?

I received an e-mail today informing me and other subscribers that the August issue of the digital version of Electronic Musician magazine will be the last. The printed form of EM was phased out about a year ago. I was sad to see it go, especially the printed version. I had subscribed to it since the late eighties and it had been my one of my favorite magazines--great articles, interviews with musicians and composers, and excellent reviews of both music-making hardware and software. In its early years, there were often articles on DIY projects; Bob Moog was a contributor and one of the last articles he wrote was "Build the EM Theremin". As I recall, EM had its roots in an earlier periodical called Polyphony that was published by PAiA Electronics. If you remember PAiA synthesizer kits you go back a way. Back in the seventies, DIY projects (some of you may remember Electronotes) and kits were the only way some of us could get started in electronic music. It was exciting and fun to build your own gear, especially when it actually worked, and EM grew out of that tradition. For the future, some of EM's writers may be contributing to a thread at the MusicRadar site, but I'm going to miss EM magazine.

I first experienced the same problem a couple of months ago. I don't often go to the Keyboard Shortcuts page, and this was several months after I updated CbB to v. 2022.11. If I'm moving down the list of pages in Preferences, all of the pages except Keyboard Shortcuts open within less than half a second, but Keyboard Shortcuts takes about six seconds to open. Every function on the page seems to work okay; I can create new shortcuts, bind and unbind keys without any problem. The interesting thing I observed is that once you have opened the Shortcuts page during a CbB session and return to it a second or third time it opens as quickly as the other pages. I don't have any idea of what the cause might be. I did perform a disk defragment a few weeks ago, for routine disk maintenance, and that did seem to reduce the delay by a couple of seconds.

Many thanks, Mark. So, if I'm understanding things correctly both Cakewalk Next and Sonar will run fine on Win. 10.

"AFAIK subscription for Windows 11 only applies to Windows 11 Enterprise Edition, and does not apply to either Windows 11 Home Edition, or Windows 11 Professional." Mark, Looking ahead to moving from CbB to one of the new programs, Sonar or Cakewalk Next, does upgrading to Windows 11 offer any advantages or are we better off sticking with Windows 10? Please advise.

Sorry! I missed your post, John when I looked down the list. Great videos of Astrud's work. I'll remove my post if I can figure out how.

She had the most beautiful, soft, sensuous way of singing love songs and jazz ballads. Thanks to Astrud, Antonio Carlos Jobim's The Girl from Ipanema went on to become one of the most recorded songs ever written. She doesn't even appear in the credits on the original album, Getz/Gilberto that featured saxophonist, Stan Getz and her husband, Joao Gilberto; it was the first time she had sung and been recorded as a professional. What a beginning. I'll miss her very special voice and style of singing.

Very entertaining and educational. I knew Radiohead was doing wonderfully strange things with their chords and the odd, but curiously just right notes they added in their melodies. Great analysis and fun to listen to!
