Thanks Jack!

Thanks for the comments, Andy! Cheers!

Hi Mark, I really like this! I agree that you should concentrate on the melody at the beginning. Definitely worth developing! Well done!

Thanks for the comments! There's actually not a huge amount of reverb on anything. I did apply the exact same reverb settings on everything though and it seemed to make the whole mix come together nicely. Cheers!

Happy 2025 to everyone! I've been busy revisiting an album from 2001. It was originally released on cd and I recently found the original multitracks so I decided to remix and remaster the album using the latest version of Sonar. It was essentially a duo (myself and a singer by the name of Sherry Wilde) The name of the album is Nowhere Land and we called ourselves Age of Innocence. It also features Clint Zerf (piano) and Phil Holder (sax). I think that the original version was recorded using Cakewalk Pro Audio 8 or 9. I've put together a video of the first track (Dreams) off the album. Hope you enjoy.

Brilliant! As I mentioned, your prompt response is really appreciated!

Once again Noel has stepped up and solved the error. Just before Christmas he sent me a new build to check out (which wasn't successful) and then he sent another new build this morning to test which seems to have sorted the problem. Noel, thanks so much! Your support has been amazing! Much appreciated!

Thanks Noel! I'm going to test shortly and get back to you!

Thanks Noel, it definitely seems to be linked to autosave. Look forward to the next release.

Just bouncing two clips into one.

Yes, as I said, the clips bounce perfectly. It's just the error message that's a bit disconcerting.

I get this error everytime I bounce to clips. The task is performed perfectly but I get this error as well. Does anyone else get this?

Good point! Done!

Unfortunately still very difficult to see unless the theme is changed to a light colour. Only problem with the light colours is that the overall look is very harsh.

Yep, definitely fixed! Thanks to Noel! I spent the entire day working in Sonar - not a single hiccup!

I've just heard from Noel that they are making some improvements for this next imminent release and that they are considering further colour improvements in the future.

I'm communicating with Noel about this at the moment. He requested a screenshot. so I've sent him a screen shot of the grid lines in the track view with the grid lines in front of the clips.

In the meantime, before saving your project, make sure that the Loop Construction View window is closed. This also fixes the problem.

The interesting this is that this wasn't an old project migrated from CBL. It was a new project which was created in Sonar. The only reason that I went back to CBL was that it started crashing in Sonar.

Yeah, I'd like to apologise for my outburst BG. I went against my better judgement and decided to take out an annual subscription (which I normally wouldn't do as I prefer "owning the software"). I was annoyed with myself for doing this and I took it out on you. Not acceptable so I do apologise. I've corresponded with Noel and he's given me a few options to try. I'm going to test tomorrow and get back to him. It's a strange problem. The project will load (the dialog box at yhe bottom right states "loaded successfully " and then I think it's loading the GUI and all of a sudden I'm back to the desktop. If I open the project in safe mode and I allow all the plugins in the project to load one by one, the project then opens perfectly. If I then save it under a new name it opens fine. If I then go back and try and open the previous version it kicks me back to the desktop. Anyway, I do appreciate the suggestions and will post any fixes if we find any.

Find out the facts before blurting out stuff that you are completely unaware of. Noel and I have been communicating regarding the issue.

It seems that I was a bit hasty. After removing the plugin I was able to carry on working in Sonar but after saving and re opening the next day, same thing. Sonar states "project successfully loaded" and then the program disappears and I'm back to the desktop. No message, no dialog box. Once again though, it opens perfectly in CBL.

I reloaded the project in safe mode and it looks like it was the Fabfilter Pro R reverb plugin. As I mentioned before the same plugin doesn't crash CBL. Regarding the vertical grid lines, has there been any mention that the issue is being addressed?

I've started to regret my decision to upgrade already. The first thing I've come across are the difficult to see vertical grid lines which cannot be altered if using the Tungsten theme. The second problem is more serious. I have a VST synth loaded in a multitrack that consists of about 24 wave tracks and everything was working perfectly until I had to save and close. On re opening the file Sonar shuts down immediately. The interesting thing is that I'm able to open it perfectly in CBL. No problems. Not a great start.

Me too but I've found that the vertical grid lines are very difficult to see. I really hope that this will be addressed.
