You might get more joy if you'd set it up as split audio/midi, rather than an Instrument Track

What new bugs have you found so far?

I mean, obviously certain plugins might not work, and features available in a newer version would not be accessible in an older one, but the 2 .cwp' -s by their very nature - would be compatible with each other.

It doesn't. Either version will open .cwp files. Otherwise backwards compatibility would not be possible The solution is, as mentioned, is to NOT open a project directly from a folder in Windows and launch whichever version of Cake/Sonar first and open it from there.

Is this any better?

The only time I've had to activate Sonar is following an update. I paid for the annual subscription.

Why not simply open up Cakewalk first and loading your desired project from there?

The old limitation used to be that you could install it on as many computers as you liked, but only one could be used at any one time. This was never a problem for me due to having regular length arms.

We prefer the term Quick Groups

Black screen?

No Sonar Premium

Struck a nerve Will? I wasn't actually referring to you, but carry on.

This is what a lot of people don't get. I won't name names, but we all know who they are.

Sonar is not CbB. Why are you conflating the 2? Saying "whateveritscalledthisweek" is also a bit weird. The names have never changed since being announced.

As an alternative, you do have V-Vocal with Sonar 8.5

Get yourself a little wireless dongle. Saves lugging equipment from one place to another

"Save audio with project" should be checked in order for the audio to be copied during Save As.

Why not? Sonar has many features which CbB doesn't and has had many, many bug fixes

There is, as noted above. It's 'D' Open your console view and dock it in the Multidock Hitting D repeatedly will toggle between the Multidock & Track View

John, I've got Session Drummer 3 available in my CbB install.

Cyclone shipped with every version from Sonar 6 up to & including Platinum

Is that actually documented anywhere?

I'd say almost certainly. There is likely to be a completely different path & .exe to Free Tier One thing I would question is backwards compatibility. Free Tire by its very nature is missing features from the paid version. Project saved in paid might not open properly in Free Tier

Wouldn't have thought so. Would be pretty sloppy programming if it did.

There's a free version of Sonar?
