Try to create a new empty folder for projects on any other disk, check all the details of this folder: "Read only; hidden; locked", remove all this, then create a shortcut for this folder and place it on the desktop. Then create a new empty project in Sonar (you can open the factory template), and save it to this folder. Close Sonar, and try to run this saved project again, if there is no scanning, then it is better to work with projects in this format. And in general, storing projects on the desktop is far from the best idea, in case of any problems with the system (virus, crash, startup failure, etc.), all your projects will simply disappear, because the desktop - is physically a system disk. You can, of course, make copies, but then why duplicate everything if you can initially store projects on another disk?

Try deleting the file "AUD.INI" along the route: "C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Cakewalk\Cakewalk Core", when you launch Cakewalk again, it will create this file, but in this way, you reset all previous audio system settings.

You obviously have some serious problem with Sonar, did it all start after installing the latest update? Try deleting the file "AUD.INI" in the folder "C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Cakewalk\Sonar", when Sonar starts, this file will be recreated, maybe this will fix your problem. If this does not help, you will definitely need to completely uninstall Sonar/Cakewalk by Bandlab and thoroughly clean out any remnants, folders and registry entries, in order to try to install it all from scratch.

Access to this function is in the main project window at the top in the tab "Process - Run CAL", you can also launch it with a hotkey combination: CTRL + F1. You can customize this combination in "Settings - Keyboards Shortcuts". When you launch the function, a folder with all the contained CAL scripts opens, first you must select the notes (clips, fragments, etc.) you need to change, and then select the desired script in the folder and launch it by double-clicking LMB, or via the "OK" button.

You have everything mixed up - "Cakewalk, Sonar, Bandlab, you don't own anything you create", maybe you just didn't quite understand what is what? Now there are 3 different DAWs - Sonar and Next from the Cakewalk brand, and a program (DAW) called "Cakewalk" from the Bandlab brand. The first two programs are paid, but the Cakewalk by Bandlab program (a much better version then the previous SONAR Platinum) is completely free, with only one condition - is activation through the official website. But after activation, no one encroaches on the results of your creativity, you can check. In addition, there is a special "offline" activation method especially for those users who do not have the Internet. In vain you are so emotional about a completely typical state of affairs, hundreds of other programs are now created and activated according to the same scheme, in this regard, Cakewalk by Bandlab is absolutely no different from them, and it has been completely free since the release of the very first version in 2017 or 2018.

Try opening any project with the "Shift" key pressed, this is a kind of "safe way" to launch Sonar/Cakewalk. In this mode, when you launch a project, you will see a window with a choice of launching plugins and other elements, first try not to load any plugins, if Sonar/Cakewalk starts normally, then it is quite possible that the error will be corrected. Or try deleting the "AUD.INI" file in the folder: "C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Cakewalk\Cakewalk Core" , Sonar/Cakewalk will recreate this file when launched, and maybe this method will help to fix the error when launched.

Have you installed this file: "Sonar Help_Documentation_1.0.0.20.exe", which can be downloaded from the "Help - Check for Update" section? If you haven't installed it, then the "Always Use Local Help" option won't work for you. I always install this file when installing Sonar or Cakewalk by Bandlab (these are separate files for each DAW), and when you select this option in the settings, it is the local help that opens in a format convenient for information and instructions.

Good day! If you have the "Smart" tool selected, then all the notes you specified appear when you double-click on the note itself, they did not appear as a pop-up hint before.

There are no problems with the Articulation Map that I created in Cakewalk by Bandlab, it works both in CbB itself and in Sonar. I will attach it here, try to check it yourself. MSS Art-s'.artmap

Good evening everyone! Today I tried to create an "Articulation Map" for the "Audiobro - Modern Scoring Strings (1.1)" library, and Sonar behaved very strangely - all attempts to "Export" a file from the articulation manager ended in failure - the file was saved with only first created section. I tried adding sections gradually, and did "Export" again, but the file continued to weigh the same, and the added sections were not saved. As I added new sections, I overwrote the existing file, then tried to create a new one with a different name, but the result remained zero. I already thought that I was doing something wrong, but in Cakewalk Bandlab I did the same, and everything worked without the slightest error. Then I loaded the articulation file created in Cakewalk Bandlab into Sonar, and everything works fine, but I still couldn't create a normal file in Sonar itself. Can someone check the Articulation Manager for themselves, is the same happening to you? Thanks in advance!

I think that a person will not return, if in 20 years he could not understand the functionality of the program to a sufficient degree, and could not figure out just the settings in one export window. It means that he never really liked Sonar/Cakewalk, and now he just found a reason to switch to another program. I am always happy for people who find something they like - a program in which they work comfortably and quickly, some plugins, tools, etc., but I do not understand why people give other reasons when they simply do not like something. And here the subscription system also had an effect, so let's wish the person happiness and joy in the new DAW! And the Cakewalk brand will not suffer from this.

I will try to do it as you described, but for now I can say that I always choose the "Entire Mix" preset when exporting audio, and then there is no need to even select any tracks or clips. And when I export just one track (clip), I can select it, and it always shows the duration of the clip on the time scale at the top, which also automatically exports all the material on this track. For me, the previously described behavior of Sonar looks extremely strange, although, maybe this does not happen to me because I do not select any tracks.

This is absolutely impossible, neither Cakewalk nor Sonar have such a setting, unless you yourself put a "Marker" at the 3rd minute, and mark it as "end of project". If you did not perform these actions, then Sonar itself will not implement such a scenario under any circumstances. I always have all tracks of different lengths, and such incidents have never happened in more than 30 years.
