One more information: I also use NI Maschine, Ableton Live and a LE Version of Cubase. They are on the same PC and they are all working properly. And: I have a bunch of Midi-Devices connected to the computer. Are there any known problems with several installed Midi drivers (from Arturia, Roland, Korg, Steinberg, and so on) together with Sonar?

I "only" use the MS protection and uninstalled Norton. I also deactivated ths MS protection. Thanks, but this didin´t help to solve my problem.

Yes, with all projects, including a new and fresh one. It doesn´t matter what content is within the project (audio, midi, vst, a mix of all). I had this problem, a while ago with CWbB and it disappered. Now I had it again after installing a fresh new Sonar. ASIO, 48kHz, 24Bit Thanks!

First many thanks! It doesn´t matter if any plugin is loaded or not. I tried a fresh and empty projects an it has the same effect... I use a RME RayDat with 256 buffer. Normally no problem... I checked the "On Stop Rewind" and it has also no effect.

Thanks. But that's not the reason.

Hi, I have a problem and hope you can help me: Every time I start playback in Sonar (current version in subscription) and then stop it, Sonar freezes for ~1.5 seconds. Only then does the timer jump back and I can continue working. This is incredibly annoying. I've checked all the settings and can't find any “errors.” Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this? Thanks and best regards

no idea?

Hi, in the past I used the colour of the track TEXT to differ between Audio-Track (Orange), Plugin-Audio-Track (blue) and Midi-Track (white). With the new Sonar I am no longer able to change the color of the Track Text :o( Question: A) Is there an other way to change the color of the TEXT? B) Or alternatively is there a way to change the colour of the little icon of the Track-Type? I mean the little Icon directly left from the Track Name and NOT the Track symbol? Thanks

More and more keybeds support poly-touch, for example all Hydrasynths, some Arturia, all new Waldorf, CME xkeys, all Keith McMillen, most Launchpads, all Roli, and so on. And this are the still available products. So i.m.h.o. it´s a more and more wanted feature.

Kevin, You are absolutely right. That is exactly what will happen. That's why, for one thing, all midi hardware would have to have a unique identifier. In addition, all ports must be activated by Cakewalk when Cakewalk is started (including those that are active in the system and are therefore physically connected). Then you can save yourself a lot of trouble. I.M.H.O. This is how most other DAWs do it.

Sorry, but I think it´s much easier, when this "bug" will be fixed, than if thousands of users will buy additional midi hardware... ? Or not?

I am dealing with this problem for over 20 years and so far there is no satisfying solution. I also have over 35 different Midi-devices in my setup and cakewalk rotates ports from time to time. BUT: I think the more important problem is, that Cakewalk deactivates MIDI ports on his own. So, if You reopen a project and the device is NOT manually re-activated in the MIDI settings, THEN the ports will be exchanged (not before). So this problem will NOT take affect when You activate all necessary ports BEFORE loading a project. So far my experiences. Other DAWs activate always all available MIDI ports at startup. They have only the option to deactive selected ports so that VST plugins can directly speak to a connected hardware synthesizer. My wish: Please let Cakewalk always activate ALL available MIDI-ports automatically. AND: The problem, Sebastián described, takes also effect on the Midi-in presets. So I personally have to re-select my masterkeyboards and midi controllers every time I start Cakewalk with different connected hardware (midi ports).

There are more and more synths and keys with poly aftertouch on the market. So I personally wish to edit poly aftertoch data in the pianoroll. Thanks

Thanks again... I renamed the files (last version of Kontakt 5, 6 and 7), like bitflipper suggest, and put them in the same X86 respective x64 directory. And now: It works. I only have some trouble with the track templates. They always use Kontakt 7. But that´s OK for me. ? All the best

Thanks a lot guys! But it´seems not to be possible to install for example Kontakt 6.2 and 6.7 at the same time. I tried different folders, but Cakewalk always show only the never version 6.7. Also renaming does not work for me.
