I just used Izotope declicker to get rid of some of the click. Sort of a pain but it worked. Not a Sonar issue. at least for me. Of course, I do not know what the OP is experiencing.

I am just using that EZ bass. Which type of bass did you select? I am working on something today with it, so I am happy to see if I have that issue as well.

I think the Bakers are working very hard on the graphics updates. And I also think it is fair to surmise that they do not want to do so in a way that creates a problem with the major audio functions of the program and the like. I do not know of any DAW that is awesome in all areas. It seems like it is "always something" with any of them. Meanwhile, we are dealing with really great people and we should be optimistic and patient, in my humble opinion.

This is strange. Do you have the ability to have One drive? If so, maybe get it going and see if that is at least a temporary fix. The Cakewalk tech folks have always been kind and responsive to me. I hope this gets solved.

There are some good deals on used analog mixers, such as Midas Venice and Allen and Heath. And for any digital mixer, the mic pres in them do matter. Allen and Heath does a good job with mic pres. Soundcraft is also very good. Alsmost none of which are as good as dedicated mic pres.

I believe the A&H digital mixers can output to digital to Sonar using its USB output, so it is just an A/D conversion going in. I would not convert it to analog before going into Sonar, just use the USB. Of course, a D/A conversion will be needed later to listen to it which I believe can be done on the A&H mixer again. General rule, the less conversions, the better. But converters are starting to get so good, that this rule is not as strict as it was some years ago.

I should add that sometimes for cueing purposes, I will use some midi notes that I erase later. This is also good for some pitch cues.

I almost always have midi tracks. Sometimes, I will have the midi track in wide viewing so I can see where the midi notes for the vocals. The problem is that sometimes a vocal has more of a feel when it is not exactly aligned with the corresponding midi note. But usually, it helps.

Thanks!

I have been a little confused with this thread. If reamping a guitar, I am assuming there is a guitar part that is recorded on a track, perhaps with a DI. (It could also be a guitar virtual instrument, by the way.) Then that is outputed to an amp. But then why wouldn't the amped guitar being recorded with a microphone be placed on another track? And if there is a latency issue, then slide the newly recorded track to match the original recorded track. And then mix those tracks and everything else that has been recorded on all all tracks. I do not understand why there has to be a mixing issue at the time of recording the reamped part until after it is on its separate track and the whole project is mixed. To the post above about the speaker being part of the sound in the reamping, that is true. But also the mic, preamp and any compression choices can also affect the tone. There are a lot of variables. And that is what makes it interesting from just simply a DI recording.

Gigabytes are great and has a forum where you can get more info: https://forum.giga-byte.co.uk/index.php As to the CPU, I asked AI, and got this: "To resolve Intel i7-10700K overheating, check that your CPU cooler is properly installed with fresh thermal paste, dust isn't blocking airflow, the AIO pump is working, and the system has good ventilation. Also, ensure your BIOS is up-to-date and settings like the power plan and fan speed control are optimized for cooling." As I said, sometimes thermal paste goes bad. And dust can block airflow, etc. Water cooler - is pump working. Power plan check and fan speed control. It sounds like you are on top of things. I write these things because others may have similar problems.

What is your cpu and motherboard? Some motherboard manufacturers have forums and often deal with cpu heat issues. Sometimes it is a bios setting fix, failing cpu, need for water cooling, cpu paste gone bad, cooling assembly not tightly on the cpu, etc. Best of luck on solving this.

But please do not rely on a USB flash drive as your only backup! I always save my files to three places. Honestly, not every time I edit, but at least before I leave the project for another or I am done with it for a while. AI summed it up well! "Professional audio archiving in the cloud requires a structured approach to ensure long-term preservation, accessibility, and collaboration. A robust strategy often employs a "3-2-1" backup rule, which involves maintaining three copies of your data: two on different storage media, with one stored offsite, such as in the cloud. "

Glad you have a backup. As you may know, it is always wise to use a non-C drive (non-operating system drive) for sample libraries, audio files, and project files. And it is a good idea to store projects on multiple drives. Some even go so far as to say, that storage in a cloud is also wise. I hope you find all the files you want!

And Cubase does not. Because it is not mastering software like Wavelab, even though the same company.
