NO! Leave it where it is, for the reasons mentioned by Jeremy above.

You could quite easily end up in a world of pain if you delete it.

I tried a couple of times and managed to reduce load times to under a minute, even less, by selectively killing MS Edge processes and stopping backup.

What happens if you close Edge completely and disconnect from the internet?

External Insert

Im using Platinum and I think the insert was added later on

Check again mate, I'm sure the EI has been around for a long time.

Are people still using Norton in 2025?

I agree with @Promidi ditch it for something more efficient, less resource intensive.

When I right click the Fx Bin and choose insert Fx, I get this.

Simply hovering over the arrows expands the list fully. Is this what you're seeing?

a discount that, yes, really should be made available to long-time users, but, for obscure administrative reasons, it just isn't. 

Certainly in the UK, it's exactly the same with utility companies, phone companies, Internet Service Providers etc.

They always offer deals for new customers but the existing ones are left paying full price.

Maybe they're there but I just can't find them and neither can sonar

Do a Windows search for .cwp files

Nowhere near enough information

What previous versions did you own? Once this is known, you'll know which one(s) need to be installed to get the plugins back.

If it's anew computer, how do you expect to be able to view or load projects from a previous system? Did you backup the old system or dump your projects onto an external drive?

Ditto for any third party plugins. They would have to be reinstalled. Have you made a note of any authorisation codes?

I tried changing Workspaces by setting it to None. The issue went away. Is this expected?

Probably

It may be upgraded. I'll have to check if it's different than what I have. If so, I'll get it.

Yeah SD 2 was upgraded to SD3, but that was some time ago

Could be a plugin crapping out.

Try bypassing all your Fx using the Fx button in the Control Bar and then playing the project again.

You could then try opening in Safe Mode and enabling Fx one at a time

That's not happening here. I have to click on a manufacturer to expand the list of their plugins

Hovering over a manufacturer name for several seconds does nothing.

Are you doing this from the Browser?

Not seeing that here. All UI elements appear in the Help Module just by hovering over them. There is a delay of about a second but no other issues. 

No, there's no requirement to open a new account.

I'm still using my old Bandlab Account for Sonar.

Maybe the OP is talking about this?

I had to turn the gain all the way up to have the icon change from yellow to orange when being fed audio.

PS: In my quick test, I couldn't make it go red, so Wookie must be right--if you drive it into the red it's something to worry about!

 

Ah yes, I see it now

And yep, it's an indication of signal level

I am still getting used to Sonar from CbB.
There is an icon between the Pre/Post select  and the enable/disable select (see image)
During playback It is changing colour. I don't know what it means or if it is something I should be concerned about or take any action?

I have tried looking through the PDF manual but I seem to be searching for a needle in a haystack (and cannot use find for an image)

Any Advice please - Thanks

I'm not seeing that icon anywhere

Where exactly are you looking?

You can change the velocity (amongst other things) on multiple notes via the Event Inspector.

Page 603 in the manual explains it all

I use a couple of massive sample libraries and I've never had any issue with 32Gig of RAM.

This has created confusion over which version a user is talking about ever since then. 

Ha!

Remember when we had to distinguish between Producer & Studio. Expanded and Non-expanded. 

Now THAT was confusing 

I'd need a pretty good reason to NOT install them.

"Perfectly" ?

Yes, perfectly. what else would you expect it to do, other than transpose notes?

This "Transpose" window dates back to prehistoric times when dinosaurs used DAWs... 🧐

It's still perfectly adequate and does the job efficiently and consistently.

Just now, cabrol said:

Yeah !!! It works with a realtime bounce. But, it'll be too long with 30 midi instruments.... 

Is there another way to do that ? What's the track's arpeggiator and how to disable it if it's the cause of the issue ?

Can you let us know your monitor configuration - e.g.:

Primary Monitor 1920 x 1080, 100% scaling (left),  Secondary 3840 x 2160, 175% scaling (right)

Hi Mark

This is on a Dell XPS 17 9710 laptop. Single monitor only.

Resolution is at 3840 x 2100 (recommended)

Scaling is at 250%

Hope this helps!
