Are you using any plugins? I had a plugin that would do that to me.

I understand. But continually putting large files on your C drive that can easily be saved to a non-operating system drive is still recommended from sources I have read. You want to have optimal health for your system drive. And by the way, it is also a good idea to have the stored files that are important on more than one secondary drive. (Some people even have cloud storage as a backup as well.)

Isn't your "alternate" option preferable, so that the the C drive with the 0/S does not get large files on it on a regular basis? That was defintely true years ago, but I am not sure that is still the preferable situation.

BTW, I would not save to a C drive that has the operating system on it. I hope your problem gets solved.

Interesting. I thought one of the benefits of the paid version was access to the Bandlab samples. Maybe it is more extensive in the paid version?

I do not know if this is helpful, but here is a link regarding free instrument VSTS: https://blog.landr.com/free-vst-plugins/#bestfreeinstrumentplugins

If you want to process audio separately, a separate audio track can be added as well which points to a drum vst. For instance, you might want to add some reverb on the snare but not on the kick. You might want to eq the kick and snare differently, etc.

Probably so. I think many of us are grateful for Meng saving this sofware program when things looked really grim some years ago. And then he did not charge for CbB for quite a few years. And then he made a free Sonar available. So, I think we have to acknowledge all the great things Meng has done and hope he wants to devote resources into improving the visual/graphic issues. There have been posts from the Bakers about how this is a work in progress and others have chimed in about patience. Overall, I am optimistic. We are dealing with a lot of great people.

I might be the one who mentioned the marker size before! And by the way, I am a happy Sonar user and highly recommend it to anyone. I patiently await improvements on the color possibilities, though frankly waiting is not difficult for me as it is not an urgent need of mine. I do however empathize with others that write about it. As to the best marker solution, I bet the Bakers come up with something! And I can wait for that too!

Maybe this color and customization issue should be a sticky on this forum perhaps with a summary of what can currently be done and what is likely to be developed in the future. Obviously, the Bakers must be aware of this issue with so many posts about it. And obviously it was important at one time since there was a theme editor, etc. I do trust that improvements on this will happen in the future. As for me, my biggest issue is the little print on the markers, which I have brought up before on this forum. I am hoping they will develop a way to make that print larger or create something so if the mouse hovers over the marker, a popup with larger print occurs.

This is interesting. I have never used snap to scale. I need to check it out. I can see where people can differ about these heavy black lines. Personally, they seem sort of helpful in knowing what notes are not subject to the snapping.

I found this post that lists some of the differences. Maybe it is helpful. You need to click on it to see the full post with a chart.

There is at least one thread here with information about what you get with the subsciptions Sonar versus the free Sonar. Which to choose really depends on whether you want all the features in the paid Sonar. Maybe someone will provide a link with a list of the difference.

Yes!

Thanks. I often copy some material from one project to another, so toggling back and forth saves time from having to load a project multiple times. I have 96 gb ram, so likely why there have been no issues.
