Make a track or project template from a project where it does work.

@msmcleod Mark, any reason why Workspaces and Export limitations are not included above?

Thanks Canopus

Well which version is showing on your system?

This makes no mention of Workspaces, Pro Channel, Exporting

Synth Rack View is NOT on the official list of items not available in Free tier. (Neither are Workspace)

My view is that Sub Sonar & Free Tier Sonar should be the same forum. Yes, that will bring all the newbies on board and they are far more likely to get an answer from the more seasoned users than if they were relegated to post in a separate forum where there could well be a lot less traffic. Make the Cakewalk forum read only from Sept 1st.

You shouldn't have to reinstall anything. If those plugins were on your system before, Sonar will pick them up on installation. The only thing you might have to do is revisit the paths referenced in Plugin Manager.

Correct. It's Windows only

Perhaps I wasn't clear enough. Steps to reproduce: Start up Sonar Receive message saying "you need to be online in order to authorize" Go online Sonar authorises Switch off internet Close Sonar Open Sonar Back to step 2 and repeat I'd rather not have to go online every time I open Sonar. Is there a fix for this?

Have you updated your offline pc?

What bug? Have you reported it?

But as soon as I log on to the 'net, it authorises itself.

I updated my studio pc to 2025.07 today without a hitch. But every time I open Sonar, it asks me to login in order to authorise. I've done this several times hoping it would "stick", but it doesn't. I do not leave my pc online all the time, only for downloads & suchlike, never for general browsing. So, any ideas? Thanks

The subscription for Sonar Premium has been active for over a year. Where have you been. It was recently announced that Cakewalk by Bandlab is set to be phased out from August 1st But there is now a FREE version of Sonar which is exactly the same as Sonar Premium but with a few features disabled.

This has no relevance to the OP's query.

On a professional console you would have to click n number of buttons to send to n number of busses Similarly in Sonar, you have a to click the + sign and select a bus.

That's a shame. If anyone needs it: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/2v43oqgjz2aqpkmd76jk9/_Cakewalk-Sonar-Reference-Guide.pdf?rlkey=wrji620px2xqsgby8exvhig81&st=906xaphj&dl=0

From the link I supplied, it says oversampling:

Sonar Platinum is NOT coming back, Sonar is, and it's been available for quite some time. Over a year. The fact you paid money to Gibson is irrelevant, if you have a grievance about this, take it up with them. It's got nothing to do with Bandlab Cakewalk by Bandlab will no longer work sometime after August 1st, depending on where in the 6 monthly cycle your licence is, so get ready to move to something else Your choice in Cakewalk is either Sonar Free Tier or Sonar Premium for which you pay a monthly or annual subscription Sonar Free tier is exactly the same s Premium but with a few things locked down. These may or may not be important to you. Specifically, these are: Plugin Oversampling New Track Manager Jump to Track Elastique Pro Stretch Mode POWR dithering

All old projects work fine here. What are the "other" outputs you're routing to?

Don't hold your breath waiting.

The UI of Sonar is the same in Win 10 as it is in Win 11
