Maybe I need to clarify my earlier post. On my main studio rig I still have all of the vsti's and Fx that were originally bundled with SONAR But if you just install CbB on a machine that has never had SONAR installed, you will get only a very small subset of the content. Sonitus, Channel Tools, Boost 11, some of the old Dx plugins and that's it

You won't find a later version

You should be able to drag th eheader out to the right to expose the other controls. Under the gear icon, untick Enable Plugin DPI Awareness

I'm fairly sure CbB didn't include ANY of the old legacy products from Sonar & prior. All I have on my laptop is CbB & thr new Sonar, so no Dim Pro, no Rapture, none of the old bundled Fx, nothing.

I still use HD 280's for tracking and HD25's for listening

If you don't select all the tracks, how would it know which tracks to include in the export? You can also try selecting NONE before exporting (Ctrl + Shift + a). This has the same effect as selecting ALL

Back in the day, it was usually necessary to get Dim Pro activated by running it in standalone mode before using it as a plugin. Might help

From the Help menum sign OUT of Bandlab and sign IN again

Where did you read it's going to be a paid subscription?

Mine always shows this, every timr I start Sonar

No, not seeing that here. I'm on version 2024.05 build 493 if that helps

Page 801 in the manual has some useful information

Yes, provided the individual plugins are still available.

Can't remember if I've ever had any sort of notification form Bandlab or Cakewalk, so I concur with you guys

You should also consider whether the timing needs correcting or not. If it's not audible and just looks off, leave it alone.

Download and install Product Center. Install Next from there

I've run out of popcorn

This suggests strongly that being online 24/7 negates the need to activate "manually"

Ribbon mics often have quite a low volume and usually need a hefty pre-amp to bolster it

Which microphone? Is it USB or does it connect via a XLR? If it's a condenser mic, have you switched on phantom power?

The dialog box is here

This might help

There is far more to the new Sonar than just GUI enhancements.

My pc won't/can't upgrade to Win 11, so I'm stuck on 10. If ever there comes a time that Sonar works on 11 only, that's the end of the upgrading road for me Being retired, a new pc is out of the question

Just remember dynamic mics don't need Phantom Power
