I'm having exactly the same problem, switched from Cakewalk by BandLab to Sonar as instructed and now Sonar shows the splash screen when I try to launch it and then it just disappears. What is going on? I've tried launching from the executable file but same problem again.

Same suggestion as above. Email support@cakewalk.com

Well, this did indeed work.  And then SONAR crashed before I could save the project.  I'll try again, but the tone was ruined on the guitar performance I wanted to keep.  This was expected.  I'll just have to record it again at the new tempo (sigh).  Other scratch tracks like the vocal melody I played on keyboard for the singer for later came through fine.

When AutoSnap is on like this, does it always draw extra CPU?  Is there a way to process the snap to the tracks with a new tempo and then turn it off?

On the clip you want to render, right click and select Bounce To Clip.

You may want to check the clip properties in the Inspector first to see what you have set to render clips with. Elastique Pro and Radius Mix are really good choices.

You are not alone in that, but unfortunately, it's unsustainable.

In about 2 weeks, you'll either have to switch to Sonar or find another DAW.

Or revert to a previous version, such as Platinum or X3 etc.

But it you've never owned a previous version, then that option is also out.

I got a response from Bandlab support telling me to switch to SONAR... Great, but I want to stay with Cakewalk.

Tough luck. You're on borrowed time as it is.  You don't have much time left before reactivation will no longer be possible.

although with the 2025 version, it is not located in the same place, but thanks to your image I was able to distinguish the logo

Er, yes it is. Where it's always been. In the Transport Module.

Is CbB available for new installs?

No, not now. That time has passed. And tbf, CbB won't give you anything more than you'd get by installing Platinum followed by new Sonar.

when re-installing software from the last 20 years do I follow the usual sequence up to Platinum

You almost certainly won't need to install all of them. Platinum alone wil  get you most of the bundled plugins.

But there are a few which date back prior to that, such as:

Analyst

Bit Meter

R-Mix

Pantheon

Spectral Fx

Vintage Channel

Plus a load of old 32 bit plugs

And if you want V-Vocal, you'll have to do a minimum install of X2

What I've never liked is the Console View Gain and Pan knobs can only be adjusted by moving the knob.  There is no direct entry method for either one.

Yes there is

You need to double click in the value box below the control.

Double click the knob itself to return to the default value 0.0

Original VX-64 plug-ins are from pre-platinum time. They can be (I have not checked recently, but there is no reason that no longer work) installed offline, in case the user has corresponding license and installation files (8.5 - X3).

Pretty sure they both shipped with Platinum as well.  So 8.5 > Splat

If you can still get hold of a copy, Sony CD Architect is perfect for this sort of job.

Is there an equivalent ?

If you had TTS-1 as part of a previous installation then you should still have access now.

So which previous version(s) did you have and what have you uninstalled?

Thanks, that option is checked.

The recommendation is to UNcheck it

it is related to a PC with 64-bit architecture

No, it's related to the internal precision used for calculations

Instead of storing takes in a single track, choose the option to store takes in separate tracks.

Might help.

I could never get my Saffire Pro 26IO working on Win 10

I eventually sold it and replaced it with an 18i20

No, I get no dropout code. I just hear a pop, and the audio is gone! I'll try that re-initialize option you mentioned. Thank you very much.

That sounds like a plugin crapping out.

Have you got anything weir & wonderful in your project? Any freebies?

Nowhere near enough information.

What sort of bass? i.e. did you record a real bass yourself or is it synth/sample based?

If you recorded it, how did you do it? Mic up an amp? DI? Straight into your interface? Amp Sim?

What levels are showing on the track? What Fx are you using?

But this new feature in Cakewalk Sonar Free Tier - Backup/Restore Settings - it's a basic human right.

Just kidding.🙂

Just to be clear, the only backup option currently offered is probably not what you think it is.

It's simply a backup of your configuration, files. It's not a backup for your projects, at least as far as I can tell.

Tungsten for me

The bell sound could quite easily be a Windows thing

If you mean Autosave, then the time taken to save depends on the complexity of your project: number of tracks, synths. Fx etc

There is a backup option but this is only for configuration setups etc

You can specify the directory for FX Chain presets under Preferences > File > Folder Locations Fx Chain Presets

How do I stop ringing bell sound when I bounce tracks? 

I don't get a bell when bouncing tracks

I set my backup preferences but it seems to be very slow in the process.

What backup preferences? What is it that's slow?

By quoting that spammer, you make his link persistent, although the post is removed. Maybe you should edit your post.

Fair enough

It was 2.5 months ago but I've now edited it

Send an email to support@cakewalk.com

Works perfectly here, drops a new, bounced track right at the bottom, not in a folder or anything like that.

Did you ensure you had a data range selected before bouncing?

What did you select under Source Category?

FWIW, I used to use Percussion Strip regularly to gate noisy hardware synths, and sometimes for its other functions, and don't recall ever encountering any issues. It still loads (Installed with Platinum) and works fine.

Yes, I use them all the time as well without issue, but I remember this from a few years ago.
