Why have you got 2 master busses?

I will add to the above, do NOT be tempted to uninstall CbB once Sonar is working because they do share certain folders. Uninstalling could break both!

Do you really mean S3 or Sonar X3? It's perfectly safe. They both have their own paths mapped in windows and can happily co-exist Yes!

Ok, you paid GIBSON for Platinum. And remember what happened then? Bandlab saved us from the wreckage and actually made CbB available for FREE for 7 years Now the business model has changed, CbB will be discontinued. In its place you can either: Carry on using Platinum Use Sonar free tier Pay a sub for Sonar Premium Find another DAW It's that simple

I give this thread about 20 minutes before it's locked.

No - a clean install of any Cakewalk/Sonar product never resorts to formatting a hard drive. It DOES include instructions for editing the Registry to remove certain keys. A clean install can be performed whilst leaving all other existing data & programs intact. Formatting a hard drive means absolutely everything will need to be installed from scratch, starting with Windows.

No, no other pc apart from my main DAW, which works perfectly, and I'm not touching it. This problem is only on my laptop

I've just got Splat & Sonar installed, didn't really feel the need to install CbB

Following a complete Windows reinstall, I've downloaded & installed Platinum & new Sonar (paid) Both the LPEQ & LPMB open up with a completely blank UI and without any presets. Anyone know what's happening? Thanks

From memory, I think it was only when the X1d update hit that it became somewhat stable on my rig.

You're not missing anything. Sadly, Facebook & other social media sites are full of misunderstandings, half truths and generally BAD advice. It's all mixed in with the GOOD advice so trying to unravel it can be a total minefield For the proper answers, always come here

If you upgrade to the new Sonar - Free or Sub - you will find that 99% of what you see in X1 is still there and in exactly the same place. You would also benefit from many new features along with many hundreds of bug fixes and enhancements If you do this, do not delete X1, the new software will automatically pick up your old plugins, settings and projects.
