I installed MailWasher on my Music drive, (it allows me to view my emails on the server instead of downloading) so I can just copy the 2FA code and paste it into the login. Interesting though, when I went to open CbB it just asked me to log in and did not request the 2FA. When I contacted support I also asked this: If I upgrade to the new Sonar, will it still phone home all the time? Also, if I don't renew my subscription will I still be able to use the program? and this was their response: If you upgrade to the new Sonar, it will occasionally check in online to verify your subscription status, but it doesn’t constantly "phone home." If you decide not to renew your subscription, you’ll still be able to open and access your projects in a read-only mode, but you won’t be able to save or export until you reactivate your membership. I guess I missed this in the discussions about the new subscription system.

Are you saying that every time you open Sonar you have to sign in with BL?

Which support did you contact? I'm having the same problem except my email is on another "C" drive in my computer, (I use two "C" drives. 1 for business, emails etc and 1 for music). So obviously I can't use the 2FA which emails. Can this be changed to a phone call? TIA

Hi Mettelus. Thanks again for your help. I was able to find a used, (like new) 970 and with a little board modification, it's up and running! Paul

Thanks much for your help!

Hi All. I've been running this box since 2016 and the graphics card has died on one side so I'm looking for suggestions to replace it. Specs: Power Supply = Corsair, Rmi Series, RM 850i, 850 watts MB = Gigabyte Z97X-Gaming 7 LGA 1150 w/ 16GB DDR3 ram Processor = Intel Core i7-4790k LGA 1150 Graphics = Gigabyte GEFORCE GT 730, Nvidia GT 730/Rev 2.0, PCI 2.0x8/2GB DDR3/64 bit. D-Sub/Dual-Link DVI-D/HDMI Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The grass would actually be greener over the drain field, (but who's counting)? lol

I ended up doing the clean install which included all the previous versions of Sonar I had installed, (Sonar 8, 8.5, X2 & X3, Splat & CbB). What a pain! CbB did open at that point but I could not open a project file without a crash. I began to open project files via “Safe Mode” and after a long and arduous process I identified the plugin that was causing the problem. Unfortunately, I have no idea what was causing the initial CbB crashes. The project file crashes was caused by BReverb but I think I initially installed the wrong version. If I remember correctly, there was a problem with BReverb at one point and an updated version for Sonar was released. The problem with CbB crashing might have been a Win10 update. I keep this computer offline but whenever I need to access the Web, it sneaks in an update and I don’t always see it. Everything seems to be working as it should now. Thanks for your help. Paul

Thanks Ralph. I've uninstalled my Focusrite drivers and Control software as well as Sonarworks SoundID Reference and CbB will still not open. I really don't want to reinstall CbB but that's what support is advising, a clean reinstall. I'm concerned that doing a complete uninstall will wipe all the previous versions of Sonar I have installed. While getting everything back in is possible, it's a lot of work! Paul

Well, I've tried everything I can think of except reinstalling CbB. Guess I'll give support a call and see what happens. Thanks all. Paul

Thanks much for that. Paul

Thanks Mark. I'll give that a try.

Thanks much, James.

I have a fairly new install of CbB on Win10. I've been working my way through various issues but so far it's been working. Last night I got my Frontier Tranzport installed and was hoping to track some vocals this afternoon. When I started Win10 and clicked on the CbB shortcut the program refused to open. It would put up the opening splash screen and after one or two seconds, it would be gone. I've tried everything I can think of but it's no go. I uninstalled the Tranzport drivers and even updated CbB to the latest version, (I think, as it won't open, I can't check that). I didn't try to open CbB using the executable file inside the program folder, (don't see that making a difference though). The only other thing I haven't tried yet is to completely uninstall CbB and then reinstall. I don't really want to go through setting it all up again. I was able to open other programs, even Splat. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Paul

Thanks Mark. That's interesting as the only thing that's different is I've moved to Win10 and I don't remember ever seeing this before. I'll load up some other projects and see if I can locate the VST that's causing this. Paul
