  1. Updated last night  opened Cakewalk this morning and playback starts from a couple of bars in

    it loops correctly but visually it looks wrong  ..the  NOW time marker is in the wrong place ..I hear sound when there is nothing 

    in the clip.....this is a disaster...how can i roll back ??

     

  2. So digging deeper i have discovered i can 

    load Il Sytrus from insert soft synth and succesfully trigger 

    a sound via midi but 

    as soon as i try to open the Sytrus UI it crashs

    so im thinking it has something to do with

    the new Sonar vector graphics..or some sort of graphic acceleration?

    Does anyone know what i can start investigating along

    those lines...thanks

  3. Ok worked it out.

    It was WIN 11 Security..

    I have folder protection ON so i had to tell it to let Sonar thru

    and now those VSTi instruments work.

    However another synth i wanted to use..FL Studio Sytrus

    does not work with a different  crash code  CFFFFFFF (application Hang)

    I have attached the minidump

    I have tried everything related to security issues but this one doesnt seem to be related to that.

    Funnily enough other VSTi s from FL studio work fine

    and it also works perfectly in CBB..

    so  there you go..

  4.  I'm trying to figure out how to get the text descriptions (i.e. text in the preferences window etc)  in Sonar to be darker  and bigger.

    I have both CBB and Sonar with themes set to Tungsten

    but the text in CBB is more legible coz its bigger and darker

    ive been messing with this for a while now with no great advances.

    iam constantly squinting in Sonar whereas CBB is clear and legible.

    Anybody have ideas?

    Thanks 

  5. Hi all

    I asked for assistance in the sonar forum but not much action happening over there

    so ill try asking here...

    I have an X touch connected to my computer via USB then from  X touch to Extender via the USB hub

    this all works EXCEPT i want the Extender to be my on the left of  the X touch

    and control track 1to 8 and the X  touch control track 9 to 16

    but it wont do that  it always defaults to X touch 1 to 8  and Extender 9 to 16.

    i have recently upgraded my computer but on my old computer

    i had the same problem

    (and im sure it was someone on this forum that helped me out)...

    but i cant remember what i did..ive tried many remedies from google searches but cant work it out..

    can anyone help me please?

    thanks

  6. i think i worked it out 

    for some reason when creating the input?? for the xtouch extender in MIDI/CONTROL SURFACE  (add new controller)

    Ihave to select mackie XT and i got it to work...im sure i tried that a million times..but anyway

    funny that i dont have to do that in CBB,,,

    now what i cant get it to do in CBB or SONAR is get my left most xtouch( the xtender) to be track 1

    and go across to the main xtouch and that start as trk 8.

    I remember going thru this a few years ago when i frst set it up

    i dont think its complicated but i just cant remember how to do it.

    Again your help is most welcome

    tried everything i know... 

    can someone pls help  im tearing whats left of my hair from my ever balding scalp.

    Thanks

  8. Hi all

    Starting to really enjoy working with the new Sonar

    and appreciate the vector graphics..

    But what i would like to do (if i cant already)

    is alter the text (font) size of things like the preference window and other text based commands

    its just too small for me.

    Although most other things can be scaled up or down

    I cant find (maybe its not there?) any way to alter text size without changing windows overall text size.(Display Scaling)

    In other words i just wany to change text size WITHIN Sonar independent of Windows..

     

    PS  also is there another Sub forum that i have missed that users can discuss Sonar?(updates,  new features, etc)

    Coz i cant find one.

    Thanks 

  9. thanks all...

    yes i do i check..  but when trax have so much orchestration ,as these do... they are 

    for a musical so; many voices ,full band, horns and strings and subsidiary foley sounds...

    its a little hard to keep on top of everything...

    but yes it is up to me to check.. and i do to the best of my ability

    having said that i dont need my tools to arbitrarily behave in random ways

    and compound my anxiety....

    Yes i check always ....the title, textual content, audio content, video content, codecs, sample rates, bit depth, etc etc etc etc

    and i dont anticipate that clips being left out or added to be part of checking the integrity of the mix... I ALWAYS check my mixes...not an amatuer.

    Anyway suffice to say that most of you of not had this happen to them

    and  its only me....

    Thanks for your suggestions and your time...

    PS I never bounce out in real time...always offline

     

     

  10. thanks for the replies...

    I am exporting entire mix/entire project with all required trax selected.

    Exporting offline with 200MS buffer size...i have intel 12700k with 32 g ram SSD Drives

    so i dont think its a computer horsepower issue..

    The first time ,i got a muted vocal that had unmuted itself therefore giving me an obvious double effect on the exported track

    (yes i am sure it was muted)  that was easy to pick... 

    The 2nd time it was a busy mix and a clip that was Hidden in the track manager  (by mistake) ...Didnt play

    (maybe thats why?  but then again why?))

    The track had already been uploaded to Spotify for their album launch ...guess who looks like an amateur?

    Went back exported again and  presto the clip sounded..

    The thing is I dont want to lose trust in CBB 

    but if this happens again i must seriously consider switching with another DAW.

    David Baay ..thats a very good idea about phase inverting the export...

    Although i dont see why i should have to confirm the integrity of the export.

     

    needless to say i cannot duplicate this fault as it is like i said..."Random"

    Thanks for responding

    PS   The  2 tracks in question had both been exported many times before on their journey to completion

    without problems...and nothing has changed system wise ..no new plug ins etc and the

    mangled (?) exports occurred on different days

  11. Hi all...

    just recently i have been working on some large projects with lots of Tracks/clips/vst fx etc

    And its happened twice now that the export will either.... in the 1st instance UNmute a clip from a 

    comped track and in the 2nd instance  MUTE a guitar clip...

    As you can imagine this is a little disconcerting that i have to make sure that the Export is correct..

    It is NOT operator error..

    .The first time it happened i was willing to let it go but now its happened again

    and ive picked up the error after the tracks have been submitted to the client and uploaded to Spotify for their album launch

    needless to say they cannot reupload in time for the launch...(this makes me look incompetent)

    So im wondering if this has happened to anybody else? AS far as i know its never happened to me before.

    Thanks

     

     

  12. Hmm ....

    the more i look into it 

    the more im thinking that the pros of staying with Cake 

    outweigh the cons...

    ive been experimenting with the ACT controller

    and if i limit myself to the first eight rotaries of my 

    X Touch MINI (which i also own)

    i can use both surfaces together and have the mini just for controlling

    VST knobs

    Now what i want to figure out is how enable FINE control

    (which i would normally do by pressing /holding CONTROL and 

    mousing the parameter knob of VST)  in a way that avoids me  pushing down on the rotary(X TOUCH MINI ) which is cumbersome to do

    I would much rather hold down CONTROL but this doeant work.

    Any ideas 

  13. ive downloaded a demo of Studio One

    and it integrates the X Touch with  3rd party VST

    way better than Cake....but it leaves out some things 

    in navigation  that are a trade off.

     Studio One does look and feel more sophisticated than Cake

    but it is no where near as flexible as far as i can see.

    Might have a look at Reaper next .there are some 3rd party 

    files that extend the X Touch features..looks very interesting

     

  14. Glad to see i have stimulated some

    interesting discussion.

    I am starting to think that it will just be easier to

    use my mouse as i have been doing.

    Even if  the control surface did work as i wanted 

    i would still be attributing rotaries to  many ( some times too many )

    VST controls  too many to keep track of.

    Something like the Slate Raven type of interface is what i would

    ideally like...  the more i think about it the more i think that  

    mouse manipulation is the best method ..

    I am old school i started on Tape and large format desks

    so twiddling knobs is where i come from
