You are probably better off starting a new thread. When you do, specify the version of Sonar you’re using and your screen resolution and scaling.

I just tried the Garritan expression maps from the link you provided and these imported fine. I also ust tried theEWQL Hollywood Brass, these also imported fine. Not long ago, I have also imported others from that web site and they have also imported fine. So, on a properly configured Sonar and Windows, the import expression map functions is working. I am going to assume that you have extracted the *.expressionmap files and not just tried to import the zip files. Can you list an exact step by step list of how you are going about importing Cubase expression maps.

I made an autohotkey V2 script that clears the Picture Cache. It grabs the location from the AUD.INI file It does work on my PC, but if someone wants to test it on their PC, I have posted the ahk file. Note: I have compiled the EXE and added to the Sonar Tools menu. I posted the ahk file rather than the compiled EXE so you can have a look at the code. Picture Cache.ahk

I am curious about this as well. I am pretty sure you cannot create a keyboard shortcut in Sonar to execute the .BAT file. It is likely that the keyboard shortcut is a Windows global keyboard shortcut. You can assign keyboard shortcut to shortcuts. Personally, I still prefer the Autohotkey and Sonar tools menu method.

I would be using the following: DEL /Q "C:\CAKEWALK PROJECTS\PICTURE CACHE\*.*" This is assuming that’s where my Picture Cache actually resides (which, on My PC, it doesn’t)

As long as the CMD file uses the location of the picture cache that is stored in the %AppData%\Cakewalk\sonar\aud.INI file, rather than an absolute path. Not everyone has their picture cache in "C:\CAKEWALK PROJECTS\PICTURE CACHE"

This can be changed in Preferences - Customization - Colors (Advanced) At this dialogue box, down on the bottom right, you can see “Show Strip Colors”. Make sure this is ticked (On yours, I suspect it already is). Under that there is “Saturation”. Moving that slider to the right, will intensify the colours on the track pane.

I am going to assume you’re using the latest Sonar 2025. The Inspector has always worked here (with all Cakewalk iterations that had it) Maybe you have a corrupted Project Template and you need to create a new Template (one where the Inspector works). If you start a new project and select “Empty” or “-- No Tracks or Buses --”, does the inspector work then?

That will not save track colours. To save track colours you have to save your project as a normal CWP project.

Hell yeah, you Should!

I just a tried cut special and paste special tempo events and it worked here.

Rename your ctrlsurface.dat file in the following folder: %AppData%\Cakewalk\sonar\

Try uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers for your audio interface. It also might be worth heading to the website of the manufacturer of your audio interface to see if there is a later version. Don't rely on Windows Updates or any automatic means for this - actually go to the website.

Yes.

As a test, I deselected “Notes” in Preferences - MIDI - Playback and Recording, and all this did was prevented the notes from appearing in the first place after the record attempt. To be clear, are the notes actually disappearing, or just disappearing from view? After your recording attempt, are there any note events in the Event list view?

This is really strange. You have done a full PC reboot haven’t you?

On the “Notes” menu item on the PRV, is “Show Notes”, selected and “Show Note on Selected Notes” deselected?

Yes. In Sonar, by right clicking on the Time+ value, you can select the units between ticks and milliseconds.

If you say “no”, does it still open? (mine just opens it, defaulting to “yes”). For this task, you are not making changes, just looking (and perhaps copying the path), so saying “no” should suffice in this instance. Now, remember, this is where Sonar expects to find the ProChannel Presets. You might need to do a system search for more PCP files and then copy/move them in this location for them to all be visible in Sonar.

If you are comfortable going into the registry, then open the following key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Cakewalk Music Software\Cakewalk\Sonar\UserPaths look for the following value name: ProChannelStripPresetFolder The path shown there is where Sonar expects to find your ProChannel Presets.

Rename your AUD.INI file in the following folder %AppData%\Cakewalk\sonar\

Try reinstalling your Vdist runtimes. (X64) See: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-au/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist?view=msvc-170#latest-supported-redistributable-version

Arturia Pigments and UVI Falcon have had free updates (and they add useful feature, not just fluff).
