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).

Are you using the OBS ASIO plugin with OBS?

What driver mode, sample rate, bit depth and buffer size are you using ? Preferences - Audio - Driver Settings, and Preferences - Audio - Playback and Recording.

If you illuminate the FX button in the Mix Module, does that get rid of the delay? If so, then is it is an effect causing the delay (usually a plugin that uses look-a-head)

Disabled Copilot?

Can it be assumed that you have uninstalled and reinstalled your audio interface drivers. Personally, I have configured my Windows Quality Updates to never touch any hardware drivers. Also, one thing I would disable is Copilot.

I think what you’re asking is can these windows be made non-modal.

As a work around until this bakers implement this, I have made a quick Studioware Panel that lets you change the time offset for all selected tracks. Track time Offset.CakewalkStudioWare

?? Don't you mean Node editor?

To get TTS-1 back you will have to find an older installer for CbB. The most recent CbB installer will not have it. I think BandLab_Cakewalk_29.09.0.062 still has it. After installing CbB and getting TTS-1 back and working, then reinstall Sonar 2025

If I need to split individual selected notes, I hold ALT to do the split (with the Smart Tool selected).

That looks like one of your plugins has deactivated and gone into demo mode. Some plugins do that when they become deactivated. This is probably because TT-S is now gone (at Roland’s request) and the bank information is no longer present. As I have a multitimbral external synth (SW1000XG) I use an instrument definition file that populates these fields with the correct banks. They say an 8 core is recommended (though not mandatory) because the developers are taking into account CPU hungry plugins. I still use a i5 4 core and I can run Sonar fine (PC configured as per signature). I am careful of my plugin count and CPU hit. Preferences - File - Advanced (Advanced) > deselect “Allow Only One Open Project at a Time.” If you have “I used Cakewalk By Bandlab for several years”, leaving CbB installed would have kept TTS-1 installed and usable in Sonar. I have Sonar, left my previous version of Cakewalk (mine was actually Sonar Platinum, but I still used CbB) installed and I can still use TTS-1 installed in Sonar. Did you upgrade CbB to Sonar, keeping your settings or was this a fresh install of Sonar? From some of the issues you are experiencing, sounds like you did the latter. When installing Sonar , it is recommended that you keep your previous version installed so as to keep any extras that you might still need access to (which in your case, was TTS-1)

I have installed “Local Help” using the Cakewalk Product Centre (under the Cakewalk Sonar addons). On my PC, hitting F1 opens the locally installed Windows help file contextually. The Windows help file also opens from the Sonar help menu.

I slowed down the video and the flashing dialogue boxes refer to a Generic Low Latency Asio Driver. One of the dialogue boxes refers to 96K sample rate. Maybe uninstall the Generic Low Latency Asio Driver. Then let us know what Audio Interface are you using (we really do need this information). If your Audio Interface comes with native ASIO drivers, then the first step would be to install those.
