Yes, I use screen scaling, but on the downside - I have a large 32-inch monitor with a resolution of 2560x1440 pixels (Samsung Space Monitor), so the scaling is currently set to 95%. Do you think this could be the reason? I just remembered that when the very first release of modern Sonar appeared, many modules were stopped displaying normally just in ProChannel when scaling, but when returning to 100%, everything was fixed, and then when scaling again, it was also displayed normally. Today, for the whole evening, this anomaly did not return once, I can’t even imagine that such deviations could have happened yesterday. I open and close the inspector with the "I" key, I also tried switching between different options in the ProChannel tabs, I tried to unpin it and change the location, but I already noted above that this did not eliminate the anomaly. Thank you for your reply and attention!

I specifically emphasized: the graphics driver is the latest version, as are ALL other drivers for all elements of the system (C++ too), I always monitoring this very strictly. And my system is configured within the maximum possible limits, all (!) elements of antivirus and security programs and services, except for Firewall, have been completely removed from the system (Defender; Smartscreen). But these settings almost certainly cannot be the cause of such an anomaly, because I did not change anything in the settings, and such a failure appeared only in the latest version of Sonar. I opened ProChannel not in the console (mixer), but in the "Inspector" window in main project window, at that moment the thought did not occur to me to check the same thing in the console display. And such an incorrect display concerned any (!) audio or instrumental track, or buses when opened at the bottom of the main project window. But I have repeatedly tried to close/open the "Inspector", as I said above, and this does not solve the problem. If I have such an anomaly again, of course, I will immediately take screenshots and post them here.

Good day! A couple of days ago, I discovered a small and very strange bug - after some time of continuous work with the project, when opening ProChannel, the display of modules is shifted to the left by several centimeters, so that only a little more than half of all the content is visible vertically. No actions can restore the normal display, neither by minimizing the project/Sonar window itself, nor by closing/opening the "Inspector", nor by changing its location to the right, the normal display is restored only after completely closing Sonar and starting the project again. Unfortunately, I did not take screenshots of these incidents, but this is the first time this has happened in the entire time I have been using this version. I have enough hardware for normal operation - Intel i3 8350K, all hard drives are SSD, two of them are Samsung 970 Evo Plus (NVMe 2.0), 32 GB RAM, Steinberg UR22C sound card, but there is no discrete graphics card, I work on the integrated Intel UHD 630 Graphics with the latests drivers, could this be the cause of such anomalies? Until this moment, nothing like this had ever happened before, which surprised me so much.

No, but the basic version can be downloaded and installed for free using the "Check for updates" option in the "Help" menu, you will have all available free add. elements, among which there will be Melodyne. But it is best to have the "Pro" (studio) version installed, it works better and can be used in standalone format (Standalone).

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.

Thank you very much for your painstaking work on our favorite program! It is very pleased that with each new version, Sonar is becoming an increasingly perfect, complete and powerful instrument for convenient and productive work with music!

Good day! Today I discovered a serious bug - I had previously saved a ProChannel configuration preset, and when I tried to load this previously saved preset onto several audio tracks, Sonar immediately crashed. I repeated the attempt 10 times, tried adding to a different number of tracks at the same time, but even when adding to 2 tracks, Sonar crashed again. The same situation is repeated when trying to add presets to buses. When adding to one track or bus, everything works normally. I did all this in an empty template without any content and with minimal consumption of system resources.

Hello! Have you changed the interface scaling settings in Sonar? If you have, try to return the scale to 100%, apply the setting, close Sonar, and after restarting, everything should be fixed. And after a normal image in ProChannel, you can again adjust the scale at your discretion. And if you did not change the scaling, then try to change it in any direction by 5%, I had exactly the same problem after installing the very first "beta", which was fixed after changing the scaling.

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.

Hi all! I had a problem - I was not connected to the network for about 3 weeks, and did not use Cakewalk during this time. Now, when you start Sonar, a sign pops up at the bottom right: “Database connection failed. Assigned plugin categories and names will be unavailable,” and prompts you to "click here" on the button. The BandLab website opens, but then I can’t find a single hint on what to do. This is a very unpleasant incident, now the canopy has a network connection, but this sign does not go away, and I cannot organize the plugins section. How can I solve this problem?

This latest version 2023.09.062 is the last final release of this DAW Cakewalk by Bandlab. After this version, two new projects will be developed: Cakewalk Next and Sonar, while they are in beta versions.

Thank you so much, Jonathan!

Thank you very much for the clarification! How can I download the complete (standalone) installer so as not to depend on the previous release? I already asked this question in the “early access” topic, and someone from your team answered me that most likely the full installer will be published. Did I understand correctly that if I don’t have Cakewalk installed on my system at all, or if a version earlier than 2022.11 is installed, then when I run the “Installer” file, the latest release will be downloaded in full format? If so, where exactly will it be downloaded, and how to save it on my hard drive?

When you click on the "Download" button on the Bandlab website, the so-called "Installer" is downloaded, when you launch it, you can select elements to install, but the installer itself (full) cannot be downloaded, it can only be installed through this program. But I can’t do this either - it says “You already have the latest available version 29.09.0.62 installed.” I have the Early Access version installed, and now I don’t know what to do to install the final release.
