I'd leave them all installed They don't take up THAT much disc space You might affect shared resources and render some plugins unable to activate If you're THAT short of space, time to invest in a new disc.

Er, if you paid for a subscription, why would you want to use the slightly cut down version of Free Tier? Bear in mind also, it's the same piece of software, and if a membership is detected, the locked items would become unlocked. I can't see how you could have access to both (unless you had 2 Bandlab accounts)

Found the .cws files. Opening in Notepad shows this

In Sonar, you can only sync your project to an existing video track You cannot manipulate the video in any way

How do these show up in the old Command Center? I have L-Phase Equalizer & L-Phase Multiband Are those the correct ones or are they the old LP64 Just wondering if I should just reinstall them

The loud pop sounds like your audio engine borking out What plugins are you using? Try bypassing them all, save & reopen. If that cures it, enable them all one at a time until you find the culprit

This is happening on my laptop - a Dell XPS 17 9710, not the rig in my sig

So you've never seen Red Dwarf then?

Bump This is on Win 11 Version 24H2 (OS Build 26100.4652) This happens with and without DPI awareness being switched on

Ok, thanks for clarifying I did make a separate thread last week https://discuss.cakewalk.com/topic/88786-lpeq-lpmb/ I'll bump it back up into visibility

Hi Noel I'm afraid this doesn't fix my issue with LPEQ & LPMB Both of them open with a completely blank UI

Why have you got 2 master busses?

I will add to the above, do NOT be tempted to uninstall CbB once Sonar is working because they do share certain folders. Uninstalling could break both!

Do you really mean S3 or Sonar X3? It's perfectly safe. They both have their own paths mapped in windows and can happily co-exist Yes!

Ok, you paid GIBSON for Platinum. And remember what happened then? Bandlab saved us from the wreckage and actually made CbB available for FREE for 7 years Now the business model has changed, CbB will be discontinued. In its place you can either: Carry on using Platinum Use Sonar free tier Pay a sub for Sonar Premium Find another DAW It's that simple

I give this thread about 20 minutes before it's locked.

No - a clean install of any Cakewalk/Sonar product never resorts to formatting a hard drive. It DOES include instructions for editing the Registry to remove certain keys. A clean install can be performed whilst leaving all other existing data & programs intact. Formatting a hard drive means absolutely everything will need to be installed from scratch, starting with Windows.

No, no other pc apart from my main DAW, which works perfectly, and I'm not touching it. This problem is only on my laptop

I've just got Splat & Sonar installed, didn't really feel the need to install CbB

Following a complete Windows reinstall, I've downloaded & installed Platinum & new Sonar (paid) Both the LPEQ & LPMB open up with a completely blank UI and without any presets. Anyone know what's happening? Thanks

From memory, I think it was only when the X1d update hit that it became somewhat stable on my rig.

You're not missing anything. Sadly, Facebook & other social media sites are full of misunderstandings, half truths and generally BAD advice. It's all mixed in with the GOOD advice so trying to unravel it can be a total minefield For the proper answers, always come here
