FWIW, I used to use Percussion Strip regularly to gate noisy hardware synths, and sometimes for its other functions, and don't recall ever encountering any issues. It still loads (Installed with Platinum) and works fine.

Was "latest update" build 33 or 36? If "drum machine" is hardware, you would need to bounce with Render in Real Time and Live Input options enabled. If "drum machine" is a VST, I'm not seeing any issues in build 36, and you would need to provide a demo project and specific steps that reproduce the issue.

Will there still be a latency after the plugin is closed?
David Baay replied to Xiaowenn's topic in Cakewalk Sonar
But PDC gets recalculated when playback is restarted, and the contribution of any plugin that's disabled in the bin will be eliminated at that point. In addition to disabling the plugin, Sonar has a PDC [Override] button in the Mix module that will override PDC on input-monitored tracks so long as the PDC-inducing plugin(s) is/are not on that track or in its path to the ouput. -
What happens if, instead of doing this, you just copy & paste a range of notes? Or Bounce to Clip the MIDI after rolling it out? EDIT: Also, did you sequence the MIDI or was it recorded from a drum controller? - if from a controller, possibly there are issues with the denstity of Hi Hat control messages or something like that...? What if the same MIDI track is assigned to a different synth or a hardware MIDI out?

So you have an Instrument Definition for the Arturia assigned it to the hardware port with the Bank Select Method in the defininition is set to Controller 0 Only? The only thing I can think is possibly Sonar is sending the Bank and Patch messages too quickly in succession for the Arturia to respond properly. What if you set only Bank from the track widget, leaving Patch set to None, and do the program/patch change in the track? Maybe try to confirm what's actually being sent using MIDI-OX or similar 3rd-party utility.

There's a link under Cakewalk in the menu at the top of the forum: https://bandlab.github.io/cakewalk/docs/Cakewalk Sonar Reference Guide.pdf

If you're talking about the dB scale on audio tracks, track 7 is un-zoomed and showing the default full scale. It will show more subdivisions below -3dB if you increase the track height. Tracks 8 and 9 are zoomed so dB values above -12dB (i.e. closer to 0dB peak) are off the scale.

What interface and driver mode (preferably ASIO), what buffer setting, what are you recording (MIDI, soft synth audio, hardware synth audio, DI guitar, miced instrument/voice), and are you direct-monitoring through the interface or by Input Echoing the recording track in Sonar? If recording audio, what does Sonar show for Record Latency Adjustment in Preferences > Audio > Sync and Caching?

Sudden lag in CbB using RME interfaces.
David Baay replied to Metalhawk's topic in Cakewalk by BandLab
Assuming "lag" means audio latency, it's unlikely your issue is interface/driver-related. If it's not just that your ASIO buffer is set too high, noticeable latency is usually due to plugins that use lookahead buffers inducing plugin delay compensation. If the plugin is not on the track you're input-mpnitoring or in its path to main outs, you can override the delay compensation by clicking the PDC [override] button in the Mix module. Otherwise you'll need to disable or remove the offending plugin from the project until you're done tracking. Such plugins are generally intended to be used during mixing and mastering when latency isn't an issue. If thi is happening in a basic project with no plugins, let us know exactly what you're doing - i.e. playing a soft synth, playing a hardware synth, recording from a mic...? And ideally you should start your own thread so people don't get hung up reading the OP and responses to it which are probably unrelated. -
Does Sonar’s installation remove the TTS-1?
David Baay replied to Bass Guitar's topic in Cakewalk Sonar
If you have a licensed installation of SONAR, TTS-1 will remain available. No action is needed to preserve it. -
I have not in terms of quantizing, but I did try creating a tempo map from audio which I was told it could do well. The result was not good, but it could easily have been driver-error.

Delete Platinum from Cakewalk content?
David Baay replied to charles kasler's topic in Cakewalk Sonar
Actually, if you don't intend to use Platinum ever again (or you only installed it to get plugins as I did on my laptops), it shouldn't be a problem to delete its Content folder as all those directories will only be referenced by Platinum, either based on Folder Location paths in Preferences or by Platinum-specific registry entries (e.g. for the metronome samples). But you'll want to copy any custom content you might have created in Platinum like FX Chain and Prochannel Presets, Project Templates, Track Templates etc. to their respective Sonar folders. What I've been doing for years is maintaining a common set of content folders directly under Cakewalk Content to which all installed versions of Sonar/CbB/SONAR refer.
