Ashwin Rao has started publishing bi-weekly updates about what is planned for future updates of Sonar and Next. I greatly appreciate the updates and hope other forum members do. Announcements

Yes.

I generally practice singing a song many times before I record a vocal. The practice builds familiarity with the song and gives your voice confidence while singing. It doesn't have to be formal practice. You can practice while on the computer, using the bathroom, walking and so on. Once I'm ready to record I create a vocal count down track. I use the count down track to hear when to start singing. I silence the count down track while singing. The biggest takeaway is you need to figure out what makes you most comfortable while singing. You'll likely find it's a combination of things depending on the song and your mood.

Your best chance of the developers seeing this and fixing the issue is by creating a post in the Sonar 2025-08 Feedback Thread

If the audio is passing through an audio interface take a look at the audio interface settings. Perhaps a balance setting has changed or it's set for mono instead of stereo.

Very nice explanation. Thanks for taking the time and effort to share

@user905133, @57Gregy thank you both for your suggestions. With your help I was able to find the signature preference setting and verify the setting is set to show signatures. So I turned the setting off, saved the setting, left the forum, returned to the forum, found the setting again, turned it on, saved the setting, left the forum again and returned to the forum. I also cleared my Firefox browser cache. No difference, Signatures are not showing. I'm presently on my smartphone. I will try later on with my desktop and report my findings.

@57Gregy I think you're idea is correct. However I've gone through my forum account settings and I am unable to find where the "see signatures" setting is located. Do you or anyone else mind providing me with a step-by-step to the setting?

@Promidi I do not see your sig as mentioned in your post in this thread

There are two kinds of membership; free and premium (paid Bandlab subscription). With a free Bandlab subscription you can use Sonar FREE and Next FREE. With a premium subscription you can use Sonar FREE and Next FREE and also use features that display the yellow crown.

Are you using Articulation Maps or putting the articulation notes in the midi note window?

Thanks for the heads up. Unlinking the Google and Bandlab accounts in my Profile Settings solved the Google issue long term. Another user was nice enough to email me a temporary workaround. Once you get the Google prompt then open another browser window and sign into Bandlab from the second browser window.

Love the song. I didn't know who it belongs to. Now I do so thanks. 😁

The test release lets CPC display updates and downloads and installs. However, the continue with Google issue I was also experiencing and described +++ here +++ is still present and has not been addressed.

A test release of the Cakewalk Product Center app fixed my sign in failed and activation issue. @Noel Borthwick provided a reason for the issue and a link to the test release +++ here +++. However, I'm still receiving the Continue with Google screen and no way to get around it.
