No solution, but it's absolutely fine here with Win 11 and latest Sonar

Working but with Save disabled

You can probably achieve the same result using Screensets. Just hit the relevant number (1 - 10) to instantly access the stored view

Very top right of your screen, under Workspaces, set it to NONE

It's only a case of "here we go again" because you're like a bloody dog with a bone and won't let it go.

I would have the thought it's obvious. They are waiting to see how many people sign up for the current Backstage Pass before they can decide on the resulting pricing structure. That's what I would ahve done if I was in charge.

Have you experimenting with the different colour themes? There are several to choose from. I like this one

Function wise it's practically the same. There are a few new features - Mike Enjo has done a summary of these on his Creative Sauce page. But the gui is now based on vector graphics which at the moment aren't 3D, which a lot of users don't like. I happen to like it. After a few days working with it I came to appreciate the clean lines everywhere.

Why not? Autosave has bitten me more than once. Just get into the habit of hitting ctrl + s frequently

My current double album project runs to about 140 minutes. It's mostly audio with a small amount of midi.

Cakewalk by Bandlab nd Cakewalk Sonar are completely separate installations

C to A or A to C?

Do we know that for sure? Can't remember reading that anywhere. But I don't read everything.

Could be a sample rate mismatch, but four semitones is a bit drastic

Importing a track from a CD into Sonar will grab hold of the wav at 16bit 44.1KHz. By its very nature it will be lossless. It's at full CD resolution. There is no other software in play to convert it to anything else

If you're importing directly from a CD they are bound to be lossless

Easiest way by far

I would have thought 32Gb of RAM woul be enough to absolutely EAT any project. This is exactly what I've got and my CPU barely shows anything even when running a fully loaded 135 track Orchestral project.

Exactly what I do. Remember to route it directly to your main outs, bypassing any mastering Fx.

Rapture Pro includes all the old Dim Pro factory patches, so yes, you're covered.

Yep, launch DP in standalone as Administrator.

I would have simply put a volume envelope across the entire recording and drop it where necessary

Apart from Bandlab membership ?

Nope, they'll be perfectly safe. Remember, reinstalling CbB wil NOT reinstate Dim Pro - this was part of previous SONAR installations and never included with CbB
