    You can have used Sonar for years ( this is my 20th) and learn something new everyday! 
    I guess that’s how long it would take to memorize the 2,000 pages of the user manual 

    Interesting trivia. The Studio Instrument collection and Session Drummer 2 were introduced to Sonar 6 users in 2006. 

    Hmmm. Agreed on Session Drummer, but according to my spreadsheet, Studio Instruments came along with X1, not before.

    Turn on Ripple Edit- Upper Right of screen 

    To lock to grid turn on Snap. 

    CTRL A to select All 

    Move desired location 

    That's one way. And if the OP does decide to do this, you MUST turn Ripple Edit OFF when you've done

    Amore benign way to do this is simple

    Position the Now Time cursor where you want measures inserted

    From the Project Menu > Insert Time/Measures

     

    That's it

  3. When you import a FLAC file into Cakewalk, it will automatically convert it to a WAV file using the project's sample rate and bit depth. Cakewalk handles this conversion to ensure the audio is compatible with its internal processing. 

    Key behaviours

    Automatic conversion: Cakewalk converts all imported audio, including FLAC, to the project's native WAV format.

    Sample rate adjustment: The FLAC file will be converted to match the project's current sample rate, as set in Edit > Preferences > Audio - Driver Settings.

    Bit depth handling: The bit depth is retained from the original file during the conversion process.

    OK, I got it... I usually delete the "Preview" and "Metronome" Buses from my Projects and Templates. I added a new "Preview" Bus and all is well.

    @mettelus - thanks for the heads-up. I already have LoudMax on my Master Bus, set to -1.0db, just in case...  :^)

     

     

    That's fine provided your preview bus outputs to your master bus. Don't route it straight to your mains with having a limiter on it.

    Thank you so much - now it makes more sense. I still use the old Sonitus Reverb. The Dry slider below is at 0 dB, which I assume should stay as-is. The Reverb slider is set to -7 dB. I don't know what E.R stands for.

    Set the Dry to -Inf (all the way to the left)

    Reverb at 0.0dB

    E.R. blend to taste in accordance with the mix, but probably never as high as 0dB

    Thanks.

    Guitar direct into cakewalk (not re-amping)

    Yes, i am trying to record stereo signla from helix  (Helix 1/2 Stereo into Cakewalk) which is recording L and R, but you are correct in noticing that both L and R are identical. This is where the propblem is - the guitar preset i am using in helix is stereo and should be slightly different, but it both L and R in cakewalk are the same mono result.

    HX Edit - Yes, i have that installed. But when i select ASIO i get these screens...

    The driver listed above is ASIO4ALL, not ASIO.

    Go on the Helix website and see if they offer a true ASIO driver.

    I have set the outputs for all tracks to the corresponding channel. Like track 1 output is sent to out 1.
    Is that what you mean? 🙂

    No. Where are the OUTPUTS of your tracks being routed. 

    First step to analyse this sort of problem is to eliminate you mixer from the equation. 

    Have you routed them to your master output or straight to the main outs?

    What are the fader levels on your mains?

  8. What do you mean by "all tracks are coming back with a LOT more input."?

    Do you mean they appear louder than you were expecting? Because the levels as shown above seem a bit on the low side.

    Also, I would switch off all of those record enableds before playing back

    Hi Jonesey

    How odd this is! Just to clarify did you leave the "depth" turned down (in the 7pm to 9pm range on the dial)? as this is where the crackles normally appear.

    Apologies, could you break down what you mean by "monitoring chain" please?

    thx.

    I left the gate controls exactly who you had them set.

    By monitoring chain, I mean how are your sounds getting from Sonar to the outside world?

    • What are you using for an interface
    • What driver mode are you using
    • Are you using headphones or studio monitors
    • What Fx are on your master buss
