MSoundFactory - The gift that keeps on giving! I also noticed labeled "NEW" String Machine, Chidori Pad, Choirs of Veritas, Constellation keys, Evil Alien Bass, Hellraiser Bass and probably some I missed!

Interesting, thanks @mettelus I had not heard of IYV guitars before - they look pretty nice and are even available on UK Amazon, with a decent variety of body shapes. I recently sold most of my guitars (they weren't getting used), so I now only have my good old USA Fender Tele Deluxe and Yamaha Acoustic. Must resist 🤦🏻‍♂️

Good call, thanks @GoncaloL now showing $39 - I think I am only missing SuperPlate. That's from v5.2 to v5.5.

My upgrade offer is $69 (it was $49 yesterday), so seems like an error to me 🙄 I got the free Space Blender and installed it.

Missed that one, lol 🤪Fixed!

Thanks @Larry Shelby Always love the Kilohearts installer - fast and easy!

Oops, of course 🤦🏻‍♂️ Fixed 👍🏻 In my defence that was before I'd had my morning coffee

Looking good here too, thanks 👍🏻 Also, just noticed a Sonar update...downloading now...

Thanks @Jonathan Sasor After a bit of searching I found the Product Updates on the Quick Start Screen which only shows TH-U and Session Drummer 3, so I guess I have all of the ProChannel modules now (looks that way...see below). I have TH-U anyway so I guess there's no need to download that but is Session Drummer 3 different to the one I already have installed from CbB/SPlat/X3?

Looks like I spoke too soon! It's back again...

@deflint I heard back from support who suggested logging out and back in to Product Center. I had already tried this yesterday but it made no difference. However, when I tried it again today, it worked. So you might want to try this.

Just started getting the same myself today @deflint. It was working fine yesterday. I am a paid member and today I get the same as you. When Sonar loads however, it looks like the paid version as all the workspaces are available, so it seems to be an issue with Product Center. I am logged in to Product Center. I have sent an email to support@cakewalk.com

Cinematic Emotions is the 19th free package for ChordPotion and ChordConverter Get it here --> https://feelyoursound.com/packages/cinematic-emotions/ The intro offer is also still on for ChordConverter to save 20% or more until 20th July. https://feelyoursound.com/chordconverter/

I have installed Sonar (paid) but nothing else from the Cakewalk Product Centre. As per the title, when I view my ProChannel Modules they appear in Sonar as follows: I assume these are being picked up from my CbB (and SPlat, X3 etc) installation and they seem to work okay. So, do I need to install the ones included with Sonar or will the existing ones work fine? Also are there any new modules in the Sonar version and if I do install it to get these, will the other modules still work fine? Ditto Session Drummer and Studio Instruments.

Have purchased 1 year's sub now, so no more nag screen for me 👍 I noticed that the performance meter seemed a bit "spiky" with big peaks on different threads. So I tried the experimental Enable GPU Acceleration option. By the way, is there a config file setting for tweaking cpu usage (there was in CbB)? My CPU is a Ryzen 7 5800x (8 core 16 thread). On restart the language had changed to Spanish but otherwise the spikes had reduced quite a bit in the performance meter. I changed the language back to English and restarted which did as expected but when I went to the Preferences - Display again I noticed the language was set to Japanese although the language on the display was definitely English! However, English was definitely displayed again after a restart. So, maybe a bug there somewhere. Also, I thought there was a bug with opening instrument UIs, but in fact it was opening the UIs almost off the bottom of the screen, so I could only just see the title bar of the UI at the bottom of the display. Is there a setting to change this somewhere? Maybe due to my monitor being 3440 x 1440? I am also using the scaling which gives a very nice display at 120% and superbly crisp text. Thanks

Annual sub offer has gone up to $79 now It was $49 yesterday using Larry's link.

If anyone else is running Bitdefender and having this issue with Sonar, it might be due to Bitdefender false flagging Sonar. I did the following which solved it: I went to the "Protection" tab on the main UI and selected "Advanced Threat Defence" - "Open" then "Settings". I then selected "Manage Exceptions" and "Add and Exception". Then I pointed it to Sonar.exe in Program Files. After doing this the UI no longer closes! Then again on my old PC, which is also running Windows 10 and Bitdefender, Sonar worked without having to do this so it might only be in certain circumstances that Sonar gets false flagged by Bitdefender. Anyway, many thanks to @Noel Borthwick for looking into this problem. It was greatly appreciated 👍

I still have it installed.

Also, when I try unplugging my audio interface I get this popup...

@Noel Borthwick Thanks, I have PM'd you a mini dump file.

Okay, thanks Noel. I have started a new thread here.

I initially thought it was the VC++ Redist issue mentioned in another thread but I have removed and re-installed all of these libraries. Sonar DID open once after I had removed all VC++ Redists and Re-installed them (via Sonar installation) and rebooted, but will not run again. I'm not running ASIO4All or similar and I have also removed the Steinberg Generic ASIO drivers which seem to keep getting installed. In more detail, here's what happens after a reboot... When I run Sonar, I see the startup/loading window Next I momentarily see the Sonar UI flash up which then disappears, leaving the "continue evaluation" window displayed I wait 15 seconds and then click "continue evaluation" which then exits and leaves nothing running This happens only after a reboot. Once I have run this and got the results shown in the video, if I run Sonar again I get absolutely nothing - it doesn't try to open or display anything. Here's a video of trying to run Sonar after a reboot... My system is running Windows 10 (latest), MSI Tomahawk B550 motherboard, Ryzen 7 5800x CPU, 32Gb Ram, Asus RTX 5060, All SSD drives, IK Multimedia AXE I/O. The RTX 5060 was a recent addition and I have the latest drivers installed. Note: I have an Ultrawide display (3440 x 1440) and Windows is set to this resolution. So to record a video for this purpose I use OBS set to record a standard 1080p window top left of my screen which is where most of the information gets displayed anyway. That way anyone with a 1080p display can see the video easily.

Thanks @Noel Borthwick Noel - this was my problem and it is fixed now. 👍🏻 In case anyone else has this, I noticed it was when I removed the older 2008 VC++ redists that the problem went away. I also noticed a couple of the uninstallers for the 2008 redists were in Russian, possibly installed by Ilya Efimov libraries IDK. Anyway, Sonar is now running 😃 EDIT: Scrub that, it's gone back to exiting when I click the "continue evaluation" button. 😕 In more detail, here's what happens... - I double click on Sonar icon and see the startup/loading window - Next I momentarily see the Sonar UI flash up which then disappears, leaving the "continue evaluation" window displayed - I wait 15 seconds and then click "continue evaluation" which then exits and leaves nothing running I don't see why it would run once after I had removed all VC++ Redists and Re-installed (via Sonar installation), but not run again afterwards? I'm not running ASIO4All or similar and I have also removed the Steinberg Generic ASIO drivers which seem to keep getting installed. Here are the VC++ Redists that are currently installed..
