Get the free version of Sonar and stop worrying.

If the recording part is finished, bounce it all to an audio track and open in in another project and experiment with 'Process>Length' to get an idea how fast you/they want it. If there are no glaring artifacts, you can use that length-adjusted track as the single. Easy as pie.

Have you tried activating from the Help menu at the top of the CbB screen? For what it's worth, today (July 31, 2025) is the absolute last day for Cakewalk by Bandlab. It can never be activated after that date. You can try saving in an earlier Cakewalk program you may already own (SONAR Platinum, SONAR Home Studio, Cakewalk Music Creator, SONAR X1, X2, X3, etc.) or purchase the new Cakewalk Sonar, or the limited Cakewalk Sonar Free Tier, which, as the name implies, is free.

"I don't need no steenkeeng ground wire". Took a trip back to the 20th century this week, installing an exterior TV antenna since I disconnected myself from that non-Direct satellite service. The instructions stressed grounding the aerial for safety, and I may get to it later. For now, I'm at risk of getting fried by lightning, I can hear the thunder approaching. I decided that if the guys upstairs have a problem with me, there's nothing I can do about it. If lightning can snake its way past the thousands of 75'-100' trees around here to hit my antenna, then I'm dead and/or all my electrical devices are dead. Wish me luck!

This is not new information.

I think you upload the file to a sharing service like Dropbox and PM the link to the interested party.

Whenever I encounter a track I can't record on (rarely*), I move to another track which does work. At some point, the other one starts working correctly.** *I say rarely because it's been several years since it has occurred here. **In previous Cakewalk programs, NOT Cakewalk Sonar.

I'm curious to know what would happen if you grabbed the right edge of the track pane and dragged it all the way to the left and back again?

RIP. Bats around the world can now rest easy.

You probably won't get that if you use Cakewalk Sonar, which you said you already paid for, and not Cakewalk by Bandlab.

Welcome to the forum. Superior Drummer 3 connects to SONAR X 3 the same way it does to all the other Cakewalk apps for the last 10 years. When inserting the synth, checking one of the choices outlined in green should do what you want.

What happens (in Sonar) if you move the audio (you can't move the video) by the amount it's off and re-export it? Will it then be off by 2 seconds? I would use a video editing software, load the vid, then import the synced-up audio track from a folder you saved it to.

Or the Will Smith version of 'I, Robot'?

"Best" could also be called "least worst".

Are either of you running your programs as Administrator?

With the spaces before and after the dashes?

Au contraire. Cakewalk recommends using an ASIO audio interface, just not the RealTek ASIO driver, or any of the wrappers like ASIO4All or any generic drivers . I'm about to run out but someone should be able to help you soon.

Your reply unintentionally answered my questions. You want to stop the computer from processing the soft synths so you can more easily manipulate V-Vocal. So processing stops happening on the synths. 🙂

Cool. I understand now. Thumbnails are small.

Turn off so you don't hear them or turn off so all their processing stops?

Since forever, I think, all the SONARs, Music Creators, Pro Audios, et. al. have never been video editors. They will play a video and allow you to record along with it, but you can't move the video, can't slice and dice it, can't add to it. It's just there so you can try to record and sync audio to the video. That being said, I have never worked with vids except to see how it worked (in SONAR Home Studio, I think it was) years ago. Being a long-time reader of these pages, I have read from others with similar dilemmas and the best solution is to use a dedicated video editor. What exactly do you mean by "resolution I need to place the words correctly"?

Understandable. I use an old, slow machine, so I'm used to the apparent snail-like progress of these more complicated programs.* *Not on Cakewalk Sonar yet but am learning what may occur when I do upgrade from this forum. Thanks!

It's free, with a cost.

When I'm blocked and no amount of inspirational laxative will help, I record a cover. They're bad, and not in a good way.

I can see that it would be a problem for the user, but it's not a problem with the software. They have cut no features from the free edition. It's like it always was.
