Thank you everyone for your valuable input.

Thank you so much - now it makes more sense. I still use the old Sonitus Reverb. The Dry slider below is at 0 dB, which I assume should stay as-is. The Reverb slider is set to -7 dB. I don't know what E.R stands for.

I've got it like that now, thanks. How do I determine that it's only the wet signal going through?

Thank you, now for a potentially dumb question: how do I relay only the wet signal of Reverb directly to my Master bus?

I thought my mix was perfect until I noticed that sound from my Drums bus feeds into my Vox bus! The open EQ is from my Vox bus, but the sonic spectrum on display is coming from my drums. I assume this is happening because both my Drums bus and Vocals bus have sends to the same Reverb bus to ensure that they share the same space. Is there a better way of sharing the same reverb among different buses?

Hi, think it's appropriate to share some of my music made in Sonar – especially with those of you who put up with many of my pesky questions since I started last year. Constructive criticism is welcome: https://audio.com/cobus-prinsloo/collections

Thank you very much for your input.

AH, thank you -- that's one big misconception out of the way.!

Thanks, that option is checked. I assume it is related to a PC with 64-bit architecture. Should this option remain checked most of the time, and unchecked with certain problem plugins?

I suspect it is Spitfire Audio's Albion collection played through Kontakt 8, because it is my first project where I'm using it. But it's a fully paid and licensed VST. I also have to close Sonar, and each time after reopening, the VST is dead -almost dead. The meters still show it playing. If I solo the related track, I can faintly hear it playing. Nothing I try brings it back, and I have to resort to a backup. Truly, bizarre behavior!

Your described scenario sounds similar to mine. I suspect it is Spitfire Audio's Albion collection played through Kontakt 8, because it is my first project where I'm using it. But it's a fully licensed VST. I also have to close Sonar, and each time after reopening, the VST is dead -almost dead. The meters still show it playing. If I solo the related track, I can faintly hear it playing. Nothing I try brings it back, and I have to resort to a backup. Truly, bizarre behavior!

No, I get no dropout code. I just hear a pop, and the audio is gone! I'll try that re-initialize option you mentioned. Thank you very much.

Hi, I've wrestled with one project in terms of audio dropouts. It's so bad that, when it happens, it's no use restarting the audio engine. SO, I've consulted the Sonar manual, and one setting I should be able to change is the number in the Buffers in Playback Queue box under "Mixing Latency". Although I'm running a decent ASIO driver for my Scarlett 4i4, I'm unable to change the current setting "2". Can someone help, please?

Hi all. This probably sounds like a strange question. I'm using Sine Player's Free Berlin Orchestra (very nice freebee), which can utilize key changes to change articulations for instruments, but I've had endless problems making it work – until I figured out that Sonar registers all input 2x octaves higher! If I, for instance, I press middle C on my MIDI keyboard, it registers C5 on the piano roll. During my project, I transposed all of my tracks several times to find the most comfortable pitch for my voice, but there are no transpose plugins on my tracks. Is there some hidden transpose function operating in the background?

Hi all, I often copy/paste automation curves (see screenshot), but when nodes are pasted, Sonar adds another node on either side of the pasted curve. And the newly added node on the left is added where the playhead was -- thus resulting in the curve getting an offset towards the right each time. Perhaps I'm doing this wrong?
