I’ve pretty much wrapped up my first look at Sonar. It works but needs more UI refinement. I don’t have a 1920+ resolution display to test but from the comments that part sounds encouraging. But nothing has made me want to open Sonar over CbB. I’ve let my three day trial expire but I’ll revisit Sonar once it’s closer to being finalized. I have a better sense of the cost now.

Thanks David, we effectively did that and it was fine. It's a weird one.

I just ran into this today. I was listening to an export mix and it sounded as if one channel's phase is flipped. It sounds fine in playing Cakewalk but an export has one channel inverted. I split the stereo and reversed one channel and it's corrected. I tried turning off all effects and it didn't change. I also removed the LP-64 Multi-band from the master bus and it's still reversed. I also turned off Multiprocessing and Plug-in load balancing and it didn't change (per an old Noel comment.) Is there some place in Cakewalk where you can invert the phase of a single channel during export? I looked everywhere.

When I arm the first track for recording, it is no longer possible to disarm it. Here's the scenario: 1) Creating the first audio track of a project 2) Arm this track for recording (enable recording) 3) Create a second audio track and enable recording 4) Try to turn off the recording for the first track; No matter how you use it, it doesn't work. 5) Try to turn off the recording for the second track; This works for the second track Cakewalk Sonar version: 2024.03 (Build 388, 64 bit) Do you have a solution? In my best Gaelic: Donc, cliquer sur le bouton rouge sur la piste ou sur le bouton rouge en haut dans la barre de contrôle ne l'éteindra pas? Essayez-vous de Allumez-le ou éteignez-le pendant que le transport est en cours? Si vous voulez le faire, vous devez l'activer dans Édition>Préférence>Projet>Enregistrement>Autoriser les changements de bras pendant la lecture/l'enregistrement.

Dang, that's right. I'll strike it out. Thanks!

There is also PG Pop and Click Remover in Cakewalk. You might have to sort by Manufacturer or Category to see it. Only if you have Band in a Box.

Four digits? I had to write it down and give it to the telegraph operator!

Maybe someone can try this and confirm: 1. Select an Audio track 2. Click on properties 3. Click on Audio Snap 4. Check the Enable box 5. Check the Follow Project 6. Select another Audio track and do the same 7. Go back to the original and see if the Follow Project box is still checked. A couple of times the box wouldn't show the check mark until I moved to a different track and then back. There is always a slight delay before the box is refreshed while it does the audio snap, but in this case it just never showed up until I flipped back. Minor but could be me too. Usually is!

I didn’t think any Cakewalk was promoted for the video editing market. Correct me if I’m wrong.

Yeah, that’s a good description: raw. But so far I haven’t run into any issues other than readability which is something a good theme could fix.

You can download sonar at the bottom of the Sonar website under Downloads. Many of us are playing with it.

There are some alternate themes in Preferences>Colors.

Oh, I promise!

I still use CoolEdit and it’s pop/click plugin but I assume there is something newer at this point.

They haven’t given us specific pricing but so far you have monthly and yearly for this beta release. The final pricing is unknown but I highly doubt it will be less than this. I’m hoping they will split out Sonar and make it available without the Bandlab stuff. For me Bandlab isn’t a selling point. If I want to get exposure, I’ll go out on the road.

Side by side at 1920 I can't say it's any sharper but I suspect high resolutions will look better. If anyone is using >1920 let us know.

Yeah, it could be anything.

I wonder if the license will allow for more than one installation.

The activation had two choices - 3 days for $15 or 12 months for $150 (a 16% discount!) I suspect Sonar will be “pay forever” software. But that’s not in stone yet.

That emoji is not the point of this thread. All is well. Lol

Click the left arrow on the slider below the transport buttons. That's one of many ways to rewind to the start.

Been playing with it. Seems nice but I need to dig into some of the improvements. It generally feels like CbB overall (expected.) I have a couple of overloaded project using Augmented Strings and Voice, TW16x and Emulator on top of a bunch of VSTs. Unless I freeze some tracks it will stutter like crazy. It played smoothly in Sonar but that's anecdotal at best. But it did work!

User 905133 Why confused? Scroll to the bottom of the Sonar page and you'll see DOWNLOAD. Hopefully you can handle it from there.

I noticed I could download the new Sonar from the Cakewalk site. I can't save since I can't activate it but I have loaded projects and started poking around. It's very Interesting - and encouraging. 1. Enhanced display scaling is interesting. 2. Paid for 3 day activation so I could save (not that I need to)

What it does is impressive!
