Maybe but then I would expect CbB to have the same issue since PIM and BitBridge are shared utilities.

Guys, I'm sure this is all on my end. Everything was working fine until a few days ago. When I uninstalled CbB completely, Sonar went back to operating normally. When I reinstalled CbB, the issues returned. As John politely pointed out I have a history of Twilight Zone experiences. I thought after a complete HDD reformat and install of Windows, things would be better.

[Fix = RAA - run as administrator] Sonar X1 thru 3 don't work right when CbB is installed. I went thru several uninstall/reinstalls to confirm this. This didn't happen until a few days ago. 1. X1 thru X3 are unable to see VSTs any more. After a scan the PIM shows <<No entries>>. Only DX plugins are shown: 2. A strange flag occurs when opening 64 bit Sonars: UPDATE: BitBridge is causing it but I can't find a reason. Current fix is to disable it. 3. CPU meter is dead in 64 bit X1 thru X3: SPlat has a right-click setting that can change to System which shows activity, but Audio still shows nothing. 32 bit Sonars seem unaffected. Unrelated issue 32 bit X1 reports the wrong serial # and says my registration code is Invalid when trying to enter it as admin. These may be registry issues?

I did... Probably have to reinstall it again to fix as there's a host of broken stuff in it beyond these 2.

One more bug? The new Add Track window now displays 1 stereo/2 mono instead of 4 stereo/8 mono when Split Instrument Track is checked - though the correct number of tracks are created. October update: January update:

Sorry, misspoke.

Edited OP for possible cause.

It's so intermittent I can't find a single cause. I've adjusted about every setting I can think of. Just changing the theme can cause it or release it.

For this project Render Bit Depth is the only 32 listed. All "bounced" wav files are 32 bit and some files which may have been edited but not bounced. Looks like Render Bit Depth applies to bouncing and editing thru the Process menu. I must have set it some time ago as all new projects default to 24/32/24. I found Import Bit Depth: 24 will convert any file I import to 24 bit.

If system is 64 bit, interface is 24 (max) and project Audio Driver Bit Depth is 24 then why does File Stats say 32?

Most likely a project glitch but new projects exhibit similar behavior when 2 instances of Sonitus Reverb are used. Looks like a conflict between Sonitus and Mackie interface. Since Windows 10 and the entire DAW was reinstalled from scratch, Mackie has been acting a bit weird.

This is new to me too and seems to happen intermittently. When I get a chance I'll test it in different projects to eliminate project corruption.

No worries.

Are you alluding to the new beta?? CbB underwent a lot of changes from the original X series and suffers a bit from it, IMHO. The SPlat windows open a lot quicker. Sonar 8 and previous versions open individual pages thru the main Options menu so they're also a bit faster.

Glitch Report 2nd UPDATE In this case, when Sonitus Reverb's AUX: Vocal Hall 2 - Predelay is set somewhere between 105-250 ms and DRY set to 0, it overloads the Mackie ASIO with a crackling pop permanently pegging the buss's meters whenever it's ON and killing all audio. It works fine below 105. No audio needs to pass thru the reverb for this to happen. It's intermittent so not 100% reproduceable and only seems to happen with this preset and Mackie Onyx. Never happened with any other interfaces. Removing and replacing the reverb and the bus does not fix it. So far the only fix is to keep Predelay at or below 105. Windows 10 Home, i7 Intel, 32 GB ram, SSD OS & storage drives, Mackie Onyx 12 interface.

OK, it does seem to center correctly by the 2nd scroll tick if I release and rehold the Alt key after the 1st one. Guess that'll be my workaround.

I requested it moons ago, but once you're in Multidock you can toggle between it and Track View with the D key.

That's another one I've seen for years. Because they are separate processes, apparently Keystrokes and Themes undergo a system scan when invoked. IIRC there's a way to offset it but I don't remember what it is.

Track View Options>Mouse Wheel Zoom Options... all set to At Cursor.

Yes Demo lets you see the full version for a time limit but LE was the Sonar version. It's great we're not forced to use the latest versions only AND previous versions can work side by side if needed. Unlike Melodyne, which is why I haven't upgraded.

It's been performing the disappearing act for years.

I use Alt+mouse wheel a lot to zoom in & out but it doesn't center correctly at first. When trying to zoom from Fit Project To Window to a specific point, no matter where I hold the cursor, the first 6 mouse wheel scroll ticks center on point -0- instead of the desired location, making it feel like I'm chasing a wet mouse until the 6th wheel tick when it finally centers on the desired location. Sonar X3 centers on the 3rd scroll tick so it's been around awhile and not improving with age.
