Well it does change the track icon as it should but doesn't change the sound or Pan of the output. Something disabled the Pan function permanently locking the tracks in the hard panned state they were in. I could post before and after screenshots showing this.

I was curious if I had done something to cause it but now I don't think it's something that can be reproduced intentionally and may have happened during one of CbB's frequent crashes or hanging in Background Processes. AAR the offending tracks are replaced with new ones in the latest saved project... so far so good. Turns out I had saved several sequential projects that have the bad tracks but they will lie dormant until deleted.

... something interrupted my train of thought.

Easily confused with Interruptibility.

Same track with Pan set 3 ways resulting in same left output. Bus plugin is stereo Sonitus Equalizer. The other track panned hard right affected the same way.

Depends on the effect you want from the track. It's common to use a stereo plugin on a mono guitar track.

dxshell works great but has some odd side effects. I put it in the TTS-1 folder so VSTHost will see and load it. Since it's in the TTS-1 folder, Cakewalk/Sonar lists it twice: Does the same for Dimension LE dxi and Roland Groove Synth, only the dxshell versions load in Cakewalk with a blank GUI and no sound. VSTHost gives me a mile long list of other "dxshell.dll" with no clue what plugins they are. Not sure how it finds it's way outside the TTS-1 folder but all hosts seem to let it go wild.

Tracks were deleted but appeared as any new track would, Pan knobs simply didn't work. I finally traced the issue to a 2020 project that was saved in x32 SPlat. The last good project was also saved in x32 SPlat. The problem is there when opened in SPlat so SPlat is to blame. I haven't worked on those particular tracks since then so didn't notice the issue until now.

In my case it's possible the Metronome was going thru outboard FX so the last note's tail was recorded. I try to avoid this... most of the time.

Since only one response out of 80+ viewers I can only assume this is a rare event. Pan law is 0 and never touched. Audio files seem ok as they play correctly in a new track. So... old tracks must be corrupted?! Any rate, they are now replaced with new tracks properly panned.

what did I do??? One mono audio track plays hard left and one mono track plays hard right when both Pan knobs are -0-. All track settings look right for playing dead center. Converting to stereo and panning opposite results in silence even though you can see wave form on both channels. Interleave button changes nothing. No FX. No bus. No automation. If I create a new audio track and copy the audio clip there it plays dead center as it should.

3rd topic from the top of the list.

Problem is with the 1st initial try. If I reselect the tracks and apply the change a 2nd time, it works.

Interesting. I just updated to that when I tested. Will reboot and test again.

This seems to be an issue with Pianissimo v1.0.0.15 and only in Cakewalk/Sonar. v1.0.0.12 works fine but is 32 bit and has to be bridged.

When selecting all tracks and setting Inputs with the inspector holding the Ctrl key, only one or 2 tracks change. When setting inputs with the Track Pane, they all change.

"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?
