I've renewed my membership. Now, how do I access the Exclusive Creation Tools like the Voice Cleaner, mastering tools, etc? Are they accessible in Sonar? Thanks🙂 John B

OK. I got it and the discount code and applied it and got the discount but I don't know if I'm free to disclose here where I found it. I don't want anybody mad at me. 🙂John B

So, where are they hiding the discount code? I looked carefully with a fine-tooth comb through the 3 links in the email and, going beyond the page you show @DeeringAmps at payment info I do see a box to put a discount code, but for the life of me, I don't see a code anywhere. 😕 Most respectfully; 😀John B

Yesterday I got an email from Bandlab called "Renew Membership At 50% off". So, I click on the links and the checkout price is still $14.95. I was logged in. What do I need to do to get the 50% off? Would this be a monthly fee of $7.48 or a yearly of $89.70? I'm hoping this is the "perk" that we all can take advantage of. 🙂John B

What's really strange is that after all these years of using this it was staring me right in the face. The Punch light was light blue which means it was active and dummy that I am I didn't even see it! I have a tendency to be impatient and come to wrong conclusions frequently. Again, I'm sorry for wasting the bandwidth here. Thanks for all your time. 😀John B

OK. I solved it. What was going on was there was a punch point several measures after the beginning. I finally took notice of it after I restarted the project and saw the blue light on the punch button was activated. I scrolled ahead and saw that sure enough, I had placed a punch in/out point further at measure 18. After I deactivated the Auto punch it recorded fine. Sorry to have wasted anybody's time. (embarrassed emojy) 🙂JB

I'm not there now but I'm pretty sure the echo button is activated because I can hear the signal from the microphone in the headphones and the track it armed to record but when I press the record button and speak into the mic nothing is being printed to track whether I'm recording straight on or using Auto Punch. 😀

It happens on any audio track in the project. If I add several new audio tracks it doesn't record on any of them. If I delete and replace the replacement will not record. 😀

A vocal. Does it make a difference? If I snap my fingers it doesn't record that either. Just in general the audio does not register to the track. 🙂

I've been dealing with a mystery. I started working on a new project. I have the free Kontakt player running two different instruments on separate channels, Other than that I just run an audio track. For some reason the audio track doesn't record!! The routing is correct because I checked everything (Interface, routing channel in etc). I even hear the channel in the headphones. But when I arm the track for record and push the record button it doesn't lay it down on the track!! I've spent literally an hour trying to figure this out with no answer. I removed the Kontakt player on both channels, leaving just the audio track. No joy! But when I started a new project it works!! Obviously there's something strange going on with just that particular project but I'm totally baffled as to what it could be. Not that it's an emergency but I kept the defective project and I'd appreciate you help in figuring out what's going on with this. So far I can only come to the conclusion that something in that project is corrupted but if someone can enlighten me to another possibility it could be a learning experience for me. Thanks 😀John B. EDIT- Sorry, this is in the wrong forum. I wanted it in the Cakewalk by Bandlab forum. Sorry for the triple post. I was trying to correct a mistake.

Thanks. I'll try the suggestions but I don't remember ever having to go though such configurations before. I did open a new project with the same plugins going and everything worked OK except this one didn't record audio. 🙄 This is getting too much for me to endure with all these technical issues. I'm almost 70 and my health is failing. I think it's almost time to quit this hobby. Seriously! Thanks again, Promidi. 😀JB

I've been using Kontakt Player (free) with Cakewalk by Bandlab for years now. Suddenly I encountered a problem where if I go to record a solo line on an instrument like Session String Pro 2 or Session Horns, even when I'm only recording one note at a time it writes multiple notes that make no sense when played back. At first I thought it might be that I was still using Kontakt 6 but it does the same thing when I switch to Kontakt 7. It's in a project where I'm also using the Animator feature but the solo instrument I want to record is a separate instance of Kontakt. Is there something going on in the MIDI Record section that needs to be unticked? As I said, I've done this numerous times with both Kontakt and CbB with no issue. Was something changed in a recent update? Thanks 😀John B

Update-This problem is finally solved. It was my Softube plugins. They needed updating. I updated them all and the dropouts are gone. Joy!😀 Thanks to all who made suggestions 😄John B

I tried raising the buffer to 2048 and it stopped the dropouts but I can't work with that high a latency. It also doesn't happen in Reason 12. I stopped Windows Updates and it still happens. MOTU drivers are current as is the firmware. Nothing new has been installed since this started. Thanks for your suggestions. 😀JB

Multiple projects that ran fine before. Oh, and these are all projects that have only WAV files. No VSTIs 😀 JB
