In part because you didn't provide the web page you used, and the only Cakewalk Sonar pages I found that had a download link was for a Back Stage Pass file as @SirWillyDS12 stated several hours later. It was unclear from your post if that's the link you had in mind. I hope this clarifies why I used the confused emoji for your post.

Thanks for checking. You probably saved me from finding other issues! ?

Uh Oh. I might still have SONAR X3 PE on my previous audio computer. Thanks for the heads up. As time permits I will check. Which build of X3 did you use? Not sure it will make a difference, but it might. PS: I just noticed the header in this warning: Maybe the issue involves BitBridge?

LOL, OK. I see what you were doing. You were also providing picture proof for these points. Makes sense now.

You were confused about others being confused.

Sorry if anything I posted confused you. I thought the points raised in the discussion were quite clear.

Thanks for the comments. I've figured out the problem, sort of: I have 2 of these VCA Compressors listed in Softube Central! (Never had one before.) Both the web page and iLok only show one. It works in CbB and another host. That's good enough for me Maybe someday I'll try uninstalling the one that's not activativated.

The publisher (Audio Hero) has YT videos. At least one of them (Overview) shows how to download them. You can get the link from any of the HB sound pack details.

FYI 1: Here's the old announcement for the MixBox Expansion Pack. FYI 2: Evidently they were included for no extra fee at some point.

There was at one point a product offered called "Sunset Sound Reverb Collection Upgrade for MixBox." IIRC it was a special deal for owners of the Sunset Collection that would work in MixBox. At the time it was $10 (or $7 with $3 in jam points).

Good idea. I waited several hours yesterday after there were website issues before downloading it and the plug-in worked, so I assumed I was OK. I already decided to see if rescanning CbB's VSTs will trigger a correction, but I might as well just let the rescan continue.

Deactivating the plug-in for my current PC in iLok on my current PC and then reactivating it in iLok doesn't make the app see that it's activated. Hmmmmm.

Hmmmmmmm. Maybe I did something wrong. ILok has it and shows my current computer is activated. The My Account / My Products page of the website says it is a Full License and it is Activated. The app (Softube Central, latest version--even installed a second time) says it is not Activated. Each time I start the app, it briefly says it is not connected, then it seems to connect, I am told to wait while info is fetched, and the app seems to sync whatever it needs to sync. Yet, in the app it shows as Installed and "You don't have any activations." Under settings iLok is listed as Connected (Backend Services) Installer Service Revision: 2.5.79 iLok License Support Version: 5.9.0 Current Locations: { My Current PC } { My E-mail address } I believe I added the serial number either in the website or in the app. Are you saying I need to unactivate it someplace and activate it in iLok so the app will pick it up?

(1) Are you using Cakewalk by Bandlab (aka CbB) or Bandlab (the web/phone app)? (2) If CbB, try the Cakewalk Product Center. If you already have CbB, there's a built-in update feature in the Help Menu. If by apps, you mean Cakewalk Studio Instruments, Melodyne Essential, etc., the Cakewalk Product Center has a slider style button to "Show Add-ons."

WARNING: The above post might seem legit, but the Sample tank 4 link is to a site called getpczoneone dot com for a coreldraw 2018 download. That plus a few other things (post one from an unknown entity in a very old thread that contains the solution in a post from 2021) makes me think that the post is probably spam rather than someone who doesn't know what they are doing. I could be wrong, but the above post seems phishy to me. Trust Pilot has 2 reviews for the website with a 3 and a 4 rating both from 2018. UPDATE: I have just verified that the solution posted in 2021 works. And just in case the previous post is legit, download the proper file as instructed and read the Quick Guide.

My controller does have a footswitch pedal input, but I also mapped a knob on the controller to CC64 to latch onto (i.e., sustain) notes that have been turned on for the current MIDI channel the controller is setup to play. Not sure if your controller has knobs, sliders, or buttons that can be mapped to different CCs, but if so, this is another option. I don't use the PRV on a regular basis, but you can use an automation lane set to CC64/Hold 1/Sustain to draw the sustain on and off. Another option is to use CbB's built-in Virtual Controller and use the hold button on that in addition to using your hardware controller to play notes. I suppose another option is to lengthen the notes in the PRV.

The issue discussed above is that the Add-an-Instrument-Track Advanced option for the Add-a Track Wizard to insert an Instrument Track for each output the plug-in has doesn't work the way it used to work. Consequently, other aspects of the Add-a-Track Wizard might also appear to behave differently from before. If TTS-1 as the default in the wizard was taken out with build 098 (such as to "MIDI Only" as the default) as @John Vere suggested, the change seems to be the cause of the new issue. IIRC the ad/count-down issue was fixed with build 096 as per the now closed EA Thread:

@msmcleod Thanks for taking a look and thanks to @John Vere for doing the comparison. I just quadruple checked what I was doing earlier today with CA's Quadra and others with multiple outputs and even changed a few things under 2024.02 build 098 . I can click on Instrument Track Per Output and I get the little white corner brackets as shown in John Vere's second image. But I cannot change the on/off indicator blob to on (orange with the theme I am using at the moment.) Multiple outputs do not happen. So, I reverted to 2024.02 build 096 and the Instrument Track Per Output works as it should for TTS-1, Quadra (Multi Output version), etc. When I reinstalled 2024.02 build 098, it was broken again.

Thanks for the clarification.

I just tried a couple of tests using the [ + ] button to call up the Add Track(s) Wizard for two VST3 instruments I know have multiple outputs (Cherry Audio's Quadra which has 5 output channels and MeldaProduction's MDrummer16out and also found that the Instrument Track Per Output was greyed out. Maybe it's a regression error or something like that? Note: I am 100% sure I did this ^^^^ for myself and then re-did it several times to make sure I was posting the steps correctly when I posted that. Perhaps @msmcleod or someone can take a look at this issue to tell us if something changed or if we are doing something wrong?

Are you saying that you remixed and posted it six years ago? What about Semantics? Maybe you should let Homeland Security know as this might be the result of attempts by malicious agents testing some account / algorithmic hacking strategies for nefarious purposes. In 2016 I kept getting video recommendations that were clearly not based on my personal viewing history / preferences. News eventually emerged about malicious agents finding a way to manipulate algorithms for purposes of propaganda.
