I completely agree with your opinion, this has happened to me several times, and therefore, I also disable system updates after a clean installation and the first update. If you have Spire running on VST2, work in this format, it is in no way inferior to the VST3 format in practice. I understand that it is unpleasant and interesting for you to find out the cause of failures, but it would be rational if Spire did not work at all, but in this case you may spend more time and effort to find out the cause, and it is not a fact that you will be able to find this cause and fix the problem.

When working in Sonar or Cakewalk, you do not need any additional JBridges, the products of this company have long been built-in native BitBridge utilite for working with 32-bit plugins and instruments, they work automatically without the need for any actions. Using any third-party utilities can only harm the regular operation of the entire system. You need to check in "Preferences" in the "MIDI - Devices - Inputs" section, your instrument is Korg M-50, if there is no checkmark in the checkbox, you need to put it.

As for rewinding - it seems to me that there is no such function at all, in the latest versions of Sonar and Cakewalk by Bandlab, there is a function for moving between markers. But as for the space bar - you need to find the option "On stop, rewind to the now marker". In Cakewalk by Bandlab, this function is assigned by default to CTRL + W (on / off). That is, when you stop playback, the cursor returns to the point from which you started playback. If you disable this option, then when you stop, the cursor line will remain in the place where it is.

Good day! I have almost the same Steinberg UR22C card, and when I turn on the input, there is no echo or white noise. Another thing is that a sound loop may appear if the input signal level is high enough. In addition, you should use the ASIO driver (not WASAPI), because with the ASIO driver, the latency is much shorter, and the possibility of third-party interference and noise is almost eliminated. In general, the ASIO driver was created to work in any DAW, and WASAPI is a kind of analogue of the ASIO driver, developed by Microsoft for the Cakewalk brand, and it does not have all the advantages of ASIO.

Good day! I don't know if the TTS-1 version you found on the Internet will work, but I think you should try it! To do this, you need to unzip what you downloaded to a folder called "TTS-1", copy the entire folder, and place it along the route: C:\Program Files\Cakewalk\Shared DXi. Then run Sonar (Cakewalk by Bandlab), scan VST plugins, and perhaps (!) you will have this great tool. If this does not work, then there is another, reliable and proven method: find the full installer of Sonar version 30.05.0.493 on the Internet, and install it, it also contained an installer for TTS-1. And then you just install on top (!) the latest version of Sonar (Cakewalk by Bandlab), and TTS-1 will remain installed. Note: Before installing the old version of Sonar, you will need to delete the folder that you manually placed in the specified path. If you succeed (either way), you will need to assign MIDI outputs from all MIDI tracks to TTS-1 in the project (on different MIDI channels), only then will all MIDI tracks sound.

Hello, Steve! I wanted to ask you: could you make a utility similar to the "CbB Tools", but for the new version of Cakewalk Sonar (modern)? It is extremely convenient to use in Cakewalk by Bandlab, and I would really like to be able to use the same utility for Cakewalk Sonar (modern). Do you think you will make such a utility in the near future? Thanks in advance! 🙏

Good day! You need to find the "Browser" icon in the "Browse Notes" section, and there should be no text in the top "Name" field, then in the quick launch window, you will not have to add anything at the end.

These plugins can be installed today by downloading (or having) "Additional Content" for Cakewalk SONAR X... (old). You will just need a registry entry about "installed SONAR Platinum" so that you can run the installers from that set. You will not need to install SONAR Platinum itself.

I completely agree with your assessment of these magnificent, effective plugins from a famous brand! And I join the question (request) about continuing to use these plugins in future versions of Sonar. As for updating the plugins themselves, I have doubts, because this is a different team of developers, and as far as I understand, since then, this team has not released anything else. I heard somewhere that at some point, the plugins became 64-bit, but I have not heard about any more updates. It would be great if the company updated them in accordance with modern interface technologies and in the VST format!

This bug concerns not only Sonar and not only the latest version, in older versions of SONAR Platinum, and in Cakewalk by Bandlab, this also sometimes happened. In some projects, an anomaly was noticed - a double click does not always work, tracks, a piano rolland some other elements does not open, etc. This happened to me literally 5-6 times in all the years of using Cakewalk products, but even in relatively new projects, made in Cakewalk by Bandlab versions, for unknown reasons such an anomaly occurs. I have repeatedly tried to copy MIDI tracks to a new empty project, I even tried to copy only notes to avoid transferring this anomaly to another project, but nothing changed - a double click works once in 10-20 attempts. And in the latest versions of Cakewalk by Bandlab and the new Sonar, in these projects this anomaly remains. Has something similar happened to any of the users, or is it just me? Poor mouse operation is excluded, because in other projects, even very old ones, this does not happen, but in some isolated cases it becomes almost impossible to control some elements by double-clicking.

You need to select in the general "Preferences", in the "Playback and Recording" section - "Wasapi Shared", in the "Dithering" field select "None", then confirm "Apply" at the bottom right, and after that in the "Driver Settings" and "Devices" sections, you will see your Realtek sound device and sound will appear when playing projects.

Dear Steve! Thank you so much for your great tools to improve your Sonar/Cakewalk experience! I am currently using the latest version of CbB Tools_2.0.13 and would like to ask for a link to an updated resource with new versions. Version 2.0.10 is still posted on the official resource, I got lost and now I can’t even find the page from which I downloaded version 2.0.13 ? Bl would really appreciate a link to a page with updated downloads of new versions! Sincerely, Igor!

You can try to load this project in the following way: launch Cakewalk (Sonar), and from the "File" menu (or CTRL+O), select this project in the browser, first hold down the Shift key, and double-click on the project file to start loading the project. This is the so-called "safe mode", in which Cakewalk will show you the options to load/refuse each plugin/instrument that is in the project. In most cases, even if you load all the elements in this mode, the project can load normally. But if still not, then do not download the Melodyne plugin in your case, after the open project, you can add it manually.

It would not be superfluous to have the option of scaling the text size in different places of the interface, I don’t know how difficult it is to implement, but I’m sure that 99.99% of users would be most grateful for this option!

For me personally, it will be enough to be able to make the background in the piano roll light (not negative, as it is now), and so that the current theme "Tungsten" remains.

Personally, I will not switch to any other DAW under any temptations, and not because I am a stupid fanatic, but because I came to Cakewalk (still the old Cakewalk Aduio 4) consciously in the process of trying different DAWs. I liked the versions of the X line, especially the latest releases, I liked the Platinum version the most, and when the brand was closed, I was not too upset, because I had in my hands the best DAV at that time! And now I'm absolutely not worried, because I have the current version of Cakewalk by Bandlab. So, any one commercial or technical changes (except for deterioration), will change my admiration and pleasure to work with Cakewalk products! Thanks to all the people who took and take part in their development and bringing to perfection!

So far, there is not even a rough interface for the new Sonar anywhere, but I am almost completely sure that for editing/creating custom skins, a new Theme Editor will be offered, as it is now for Cakewalk, or the current version will work for the new Sonar.

? ✌️

I have been using this method for almost 5 years now, and not once has there been the slightest incident with any of the existing elements of the system or Cakewalk.

??✌️ Congratulations!

And what settings do you use in the "Audio Export" window? Maybe you unintentionally changed something in the settings, and now because of this, the frequency characteristics of the exported file have changed? Try to attach a screenshot of these settings here, someone will definitely tell you the solution, I have everything left as before when exporting, but I never changed any settings in this window. If you attach a screenshot, I will compare it with my settings, maybe everything will be solved easier than it seems.

By any logic, you need to look carefully at the plug-in settings on the Master Bus, because all other tracks or buses affect only something specific, and you, if I understand correctly, reduce the low-frequency component throughout the mix.

For the future, you have one more option: go upstairs to "Utilities" - the last line is "Cakewalk Plug-in Manager". In the left window, select the line VST3. Scroll in the right window all the plugins to the letter "S", if there is no Shadow Hills, at the bottom left select the option "Show excluded(plugins)", it may turn out that for some reason Cakewalk sent it to this section. If it's there, click on it, and on the bottom left, the "Enable Plug-in" button. This happened to me a couple of times, although I have not found out the reason.

There is the simplest way to bypass the restrictions of the installers of old elements, if you want, write me a personal message, I will lay out the text for the .reg file here, which simply enters into the registry about the "installed Sonar" (Platinum). Sonar itself is not necessary to install, you can install it right away the latest version of Cakewalk with full access to old installers.
