As stated in the link above about their bi-weekly update, the Bakers are aware of what you are saying. It sounds like they are sending it to the beta team soon. I know you think it should be prioritized over audio optimizations, but at the same time, no one should want them to rush this as we do not want the audio part to go backward in any way. I am going to repeat their update below the dotted line, since it appears that it cannot show up too much on this forum! ........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................ Posted October 20 Welcome to our bi-weekly update! We're committed to keeping you in the loop about our progress, much of which is shaped by community suggestions. This week, we're excited to share some key updates on Sonar. Color Customization A simple yet effective approach to color theming is well underway. We know it’s important to personalize your workspace, not just for aesthetics, but for creating a comfortable environment that reduces eye strain and helps you stay in the creative space longer. We're designing a system that is both powerful and easy to use. We're closing in on the first edition and expect to release it to the beta team shortly. Plugin Updates We're continuing to enhance our suite of plugins based on user feedback. Here’s a sneak peek at what’s in the works: Long awaited updates for the LP EQ and LP Multiband are almost here. Retooled for modern systems, these plugins provide exceptional sonic transparency for surgical, artifact-free adjustments. The Adaptive Limiter is also getting an overhaul and will be deployed alongside the LPs. This power trio will bring a powerful, mastering-grade toolkit to your mixes, available later in Q4. Soon, you'll see spectrum analyzer overlays integrated into some of our Core effects. This will provide immediate, precise visual feedback right where you need it, making it faster to identify frequency issues and make informed EQ decisions. Early Access Returns! We are reintroducing the Early Access program, which will be available to Next and Sonar users. This will help us gather more pre-release feedback before final deployment. It also reinforces our commitment to transparency and building the future of Sonar together with you. On the Horizon We’re cooking up some other new features that we can’t wait to put in your hands: Soon you'll be able to probe various tap points with integrated signal analysis, helping you visualize your audio's journey in real-time and troubleshoot routing issues with ease and precision. Global app search is in the works, designed to get you to your tools faster than ever. Get ready to turbocharge your workflow! We’ll be back in two weeks with another update. Thank you for your continued support and feedback! Best regards, The Cakewalk Team

Works for me! Thank you!

Is there a video on how to use ripple edit? I just did a project today where I inserted 4 measures. Then I had to move the tempo changes in the tempo map by four measures. It was easy using the copy special function and just copying the tempo map and then pasting it where it needed to moved to. I suppose if there were tempo changes in many parts of the composition, having ripple edit might be faster.

Yes to David's post. But if you do use copy and paste, make sure you select copy special (not just copy), and click on the box for tempo changes, and then if you paste it to the measure(s) you want, the tempo changes will copy with it.

I am interested in the Bakers thoughts on this. It would be nice to have that be reliable. I take notes on a pad of my work. I also name peojects with a date and time. That helps with some of the confusion. Even if it seemed like a total fix, I would still name the projects with a date and time stamp, so to speak.

Yes to Relab LX480. Also, it is good to have a plate like this for $50: https://valhalladsp.com/shop/reverb/valhalla-plate/ Check around for demos of various "dedicated" plate reverbs, especially those that do a great job with the EMT140.

Are the core plugins different form the Sonitus ones in any way, other than a name change?

Thanks Starship. It is good to know that setting to background services could be detrimental. Setting the power plan to the highest performance is probably one of the easiest tweaks. I am not sure of Pete's view on that. I would like more information on disabling core parking. And yes, registry changes require careful skills, including making a registry backup.

Here is some more. There are quite a few sites for optimizing Windows for a DAW, by using google: https://support.ujam.com/hc/en-us/articles/16462354518172-Optimizing-Windows-for-Audio-Production-A-Detailed-Guide

Thank you for putting "solved" on your thread! Have a great day!

There are also Windows system tweaks (optimizations) that reduce the likelihood of glitches. Also, I have a ton of plugins, but I had one that would produce glitches no matter what I tried. I just gave up on that plugin.

Why not improve the delete hole option with an extra box asking it to move the tempo data and also allow it to move data appropriately when there is no data in the hole? It seems that having these separated functions of delete hole and ripple edit just make the program it more complicated.

The problem with slowing down is things can get more grainy. At least, for the midi tracks and VIs, before mixing to two tracks, slowing down does not affect the sound quality. So in a project with a mix of audio and midi/VIs, it might sound better to slow down before the 2 track mix. Of course, the more minor the slow down, the less grainy the effect.

It would also help me to know which bass selection is being used in EZbass. I have it setup right now. And as I said, the acoustic basses have clicks and noises that are in the samples. I wish they made those noises a parameter because EZbass, in general, is a great program!

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.
