"Quit working" meant it would freeze with white screen and had to be forced off using Task Manager. I had issue with Plugin Manager not working right when I installed some of the Sonar X versions. I fixed it by installing them as admin and then forcing them to run as admin. Only then would Plugin Manager scan & load the plugins. Weird.

Thanks. That's actually what Craig's blog is about that Mark linked to above for dxshell & dxishell. Put them in your plugin folders and VSTHost or any other host will see dx as vst. Works great outside of DAW use but I've also had issues with dxshell interfering with DAWs when using them. FWIW, VSTHost is great but is proving a little flaky and quits working at times. And I haven't discovered if it can access more than the default channel on multichannel synths like TTS-1 and SYXG50.

One reason for asking is wanting to use TTS-1 DXi as a standalone outside of a DAW. SaviHost works great for VSTi's but not DXi's. "dxshell.dll & dxishell.dll"... Not sure if SaviHost can work with them at all but they do work with VSTHost (from same vender) which is a "basic" host program for running DX and VST plugins that aren't exclusive to another host. Not quite the same as a wrapped standalone plugin but it works. However, setting up VSTHost is too complex for me without a how-to video.

Thanks Mark, will check it out.

Is there one like SaviHost is for VSTs?

Obviously you're not a KISS fan. 😁 But I would like to know how you implement the 8 interfaces when most systems allow only one instance using ASIO... unless you're not using ASIO.

Sonar 8.5 thru SPlat. New Sonar includes an SD3 installer that should be useable in older Sonars.

I think we've been confusing installer version with plugin version. Installer 1.5.5.13 and 1.5.5.16 will both install Dimension 1.5.0.11. I was able to install both. The only real difference between them is 1.5.5.16 won't require you to run Dimension as admin to register it. With 1.5.5.13 you have to run it as admin or it will say the number is invalid. FWIW, Sonar X1, X2, & X3 all came with Dimension 1.5 but they all had different serial numbers. What's weird is the latest CCC version has the same serial as the X2 version, not the X3 version.

Is this unique to Sonar or does it also occur with the same wave file in CbB or older SONAR?

I think I requested this: https://discuss.cakewalk.com/topic/80763-automated-mute-button/#comment-560904 As-is you have to manually switch to Automated Mute button by right-clicking the Mute button.

My Legacy Cakewalk Products page says it's D-Pro Windows 1.5.0.13.001 which I assume is the vst version, but it downloads as D-ProInstall_1.5.5.13.exe. which is the installer version.

Thanks, I'll double check it again. Edit: I was wrong. 1.5.5.16 appears to be the installer version, not the vst version. It installs Dimension Pro 1.5.0.11 https://legacy.cakewalk.com/Support/Knowledge-Base/2007013416/D-Pro-1-5-5-16-Installer-Update According to cakewalk's KB page, 1.5.5.16 installer updated 1.5.5.13 to utilize the new CCC and aside from fixing the 'run as admin to register' issue, they both install version 1.5.0.11. My list of VST/DX versions: Dimension LE 1.2.0.69 - 2/7/2007 Dimension LE 1.2.0.70 DXi - 10/10/2007 Dimension LE 1.2.0.70 - 10/10/2007 Dimension LE 1.3.0.8 - 8/11/2008 Dimension LE 1.5.0.5 - 4/27/2010 Dimension Pro 1.5.0.5 - 4/27/2010 Dimension Pro 1.5.0.11 - 8/30/2010 (CCC version)

I think "1.5.5.16" is a typo because installing it results in "1.5.5.13". My installed version is 1.5.0.5 from one of the Sonar/CbB installs. As mentioned, the CCC version requires the standalone to run as administrator for registration to stick.

Sorry, I didn't notice the clip above it. I'm glad you solved it anyway. Comping can be a handful sometimes. I use Sound On Sound so I have more control over what's happening.

.

Doesn't the OP's screengrab show Take Lane T13, with the clip in question, as muted?

PC will always have the main modules by default. Unfortunately the old way of saving an empty PC preset was a bug and fixed years ago. I still have the preset I made but it doesn't work anymore.

I figured they were audio artifacts or remnants from an edited wave that's too low to hear or for the meters to pick up, but something is or was there as even one of your screen shots shows. I also thought they were sometimes caused by my audio interface. What I've done is splice the offending spot out and bounce the surrounding clips back together. When it persists, I chalk it up to OCD and move on. You could try exporting the clip into another DAW to see if it reports the same activity.

It's been happening since at least X1 and before wave outlines were added. I believe it's just a graphical issue where Sonar is confused at certain zoom levels and misinterprets how or what to draw what is or isn't there.

I like Melodyne and use it a lot. Currently tho, it does some weird unexpected things when editing blobs. When I try to shrink one, the other end starts to disappear instead of the whole blob getting smaller. It may be only graphical but don't think it should be doing that. It also tends to put some notes a whole octave lower than where they should be making them harder to manipulate. Otherwise it's an awesome tool.

It's based on Roland's Hyper Canvas which was DXi and VSTi.

Yeah, can't believe I didn't see this before it was to late... for CbB.

In CbB when 2 screens are used the Virtual Keyboards don't display correctly on the 2nd screen regardless of settings. Main screen is a laptop 4K set down to 1920x1080 scaled to 100%. 2nd screen is an ultrawide HD 2560x1080 scaled to 100%. Smaller size and buttons overlap on 2nd screen: Correct size displayed on Main screen: From the documentation: Cakewalk automatically detects whether or not you are using a touchscreen, and sizes the Virtual Controller accordingly. The optimum size is displayed for either touch or mouse input, regardless of screen resolution.

Browser position isn't the issue. SONAR/CbB/Sonar is not allowing the Browser to maintain the Browser > Menu > Folder view option position when saving the project or changing screenset views.

When using the Draw Tool in PRV, right-clicking with Transform Tool to select a group of CC's erases them while drawing the Transform box around them. You can hit ctrl+z to reverse the erasure but should this be happening while Transform Tool is invoked?
