  1. Set LinkPFSendMute to True in Preferences > Audio > Configuration File
  2. What's happening is that freezing actually adds 3dB to the level of mono synth tracks. This is a long-standing issue/quirk of SONAR/CbB/Sonar. This can be addressed either by changing the Interleave of mono tracks to stereo or changing the inputs to stereo before freezing.
  3. So the click track it plays back in sync with other tracks and the live playback metronome, and only the export is out of sync? Like Erik, I would want to know whether the sync error is a fixed offset or a drift or...?
  4. Yes, maybe, but like most design choices it has benefits in terms of the flexibility of the result - e.g being able to bounce/export all your tracks (or buses as stems) in one go for mixing by a 3rd party I'm would guess the Bakers are aware that some other DAWs do it differently, and simply felt the logic and flexibility of their approach is ultimately superior even if it requires a little extra understanding /forethought on the part of users. Also, once a certain design logic has been in place for years or decades, they risk upsetting the long-time user base by changing it.
  5. Visibility of these was eliminated some time ago due to compatibility issues. My understanding was that this had to do with Win11 but that seems not the entire story as some apps continue to work with them in Win11 as you've observed. In any case, the one workaround I am aware of is that setting the Driver mode to UWP under Preferences > MIDI > Playback and Recordiing to UWP made the GS Wavetable available in Sonar on my system. UWP mode has always been flaky for me and I don't need the GS Wavetable so I changed it back; this was just an incidental discovery. YMMV and I can't promise this workaround will persist.
  6. Sounds like your activation has expired and is not renewable. I haven't been keeping track of CbB deadlines, but IIRC October 1 was the last opportunity to reactivate. While the project is still open you can retrieve copies of the recorded WAV files from the project's audio folder or from the global Audio Data folder if it's a new project from template that was never saved.
  7. Bouncing with Source = Tracks generates a separate bounce for each selected track. In that scenario you will get the first track bounced to the track you created (and presumably selected as the Destination), and the second track bounced either to the next existing audio track below that one or to a new track created by Sonar. In order to merge two or more tracks you need to bounce with Source = Buses and select a bus that they're both/all outputting through.
  8. Running the transport should reset any delay compensation to 0 if all plugins are disabled, but try enabling the PDC [override] button in the mix module. This will eliminate PDC on the track you're input monitoring so long as there isn't a PDC-inducing plugin active on that track or in its path to the hardware out. If you still have latency, it's probably not due to plugin delay.
  9. A stereo track will effectively have the two channels panned hard left and right. Recording them to individual mono tracks will have them both center-panned. Depending on the degree of correlation betwene the two channels, the mono setup is going to produce up to a 6dB increase in level at the Master bus, potentially clipping the output, unless you pan the mono tracks hard left and right to match what a stereo track does. This is a possibility, but I recall that issue being addressed some years ago, and can't repro the problem now.
  10. Inspector is showing Peak only, and Console is showing Peak + RMS. Incidentally, thanks for alerting me to the release of Pianoteq 9, I was just on their site a week ago to check and miseed it by a few days. @msmcleod I can repro the OP's screenshot showing that the lowest meter segment in one channel of the Console meter in Peak + RMS mode sometimes stays lit indefinitely after playback is stopped. I used Pianoteq 9, like the OP, and have not confimed with other VSTs or pure Audio tracks.
  11. The warning will also be triggered by clips that have Audiosnap enabled but haven't actually been stretched. But the 'Select All Audiosnap/Slipstretched' option ignores unstretched clips. In that case, the only way to know if a clip is in that state is to select one at a time and check the Audiosnap section of Clip Properties or the status of the Enable button in the Audiosnap Palette. I would agree with Mark that the better option is to just save as CWZ or Zip the folder in Windows Explorer to preserve all the non-destructive stretching until you're fully ready to commit all the edits.
  12. Yes, and Delete Hole notoriously will not work in an empty area of the project; there has to be some clip selected. It was the shortcomings of Delete Hole plus issues with the 'Move Over to Make Room' option for drag and drop that drove to the implementation of Ripple Editing.
  13. Okay, but then you get to answer all the threads on the forum like: "I accidentally recorded a bad/duplicate MIDI take into an existing clip and it's too late to undo; how do I fix this, and why isn't there a big red flashing light warning me my takes will be merged?" 😉
  14. I think what the OP is encountering is that those buttons are not available in the small version of the transport module. Keyboard shortcuts are the answer; I almost never touch the transport controls. I would guess that's a limitation of the MP3 file architecture.
  15. I think "first export" basically means "if there isn't already a preview file". So if you delete all preview files, it will automatically create one on the next export. And it's been previously determined that bouncing any track in a project that doesn't yet have a preview will also generate one. My projects often have two preview files, one with a shorter name than the other; I'm not sure what that's about. If a project folder contains multiple versions of a project there may be additional project-specific preview files. Both the implementation and the documentation could use some refinement.
