The files are both in my documents folder AND in the default folder that Cakewalk uses. However, my audio plugins do not work...my vst instruments in the same folder do work.

No, I meant that the list "mixing" to "waves all" is my custom list of effects that I created in Cakewalk by Bandlab. When I load the file in Cakewalk Sonar, all I get is "Sonitus" and EZ Mix 3. All other folders and effects are not there: My custom layout "SeelenPuls" is selected. I loaded the layout in Sonar, then saved it and renamed it...but it does not matter if "SeelenPuls FX" or "SeelenPuls FX CS" is loaded...almost all folders and effects are missing but "Sonitus" and EZ Mix. It works with VSTi instruments, but not audio effects.

Hello! I just subscribed to one year of Sonar. Everything seems to be alright but the list of audio effects. My Cakewalk by Bandlab list of VSTi instruments can be loaded without problems, but the audio list does not work. Only the stock Sonitus effects are there and EZ Mix 3...all others aren't. Loading the list, then saving it under a new name in Sonar does not work either. Here's my full folder structure. Rescanning all plugins does not help either. Any ideas what to do?

Thanks! I uninstalled it. I did not install it on purpose...it was automatically installed with some VSTi or whatever (without asking me).

Thanks!

Thanks!

Hey! When looking through the different settings, I saw that Cakewalk uses Asio4all here and not my audio device. I wanted to set it to Motu asio (my device), but it always resets to Asio4all. Why? This setting is about recording latency compensation.

Thanks! What should I set there? -1? VSL Libraries work with C1..., but I have to use articulation maps at C2...so Cakewalk is one octave too high and I need to change it to -1, correct?

Where can I set the middle C? It is one octave too high for many VSTi libraries.

Thanks! I have a "full" chase mode setting.

Hello! Are there any fellow VSL Synchron Player/libraries here? I have a questions on VSL and articulation maps. Fortunately, Cakewalk supports them...with VSL libraries, normally you need to draw the keyswitches slightly before a note is played. Does this apply to the articulation map, too? Or can the changes be at the same time the note is played? Because you cannot fine tune the start as precisely as normal midi notes, e.g. 1/16 before a note.

Hi! I bought Cakewalk Sonar Professional in 2018 I think...it was 199€. 1) Can I use my old registration key to get some kind of special price? 2) I have a lot of plugins, folders, custom project structure, an entire studio SSD...I don't want to spend hours on transfering everything or maybe messing something up when installing the new Sonar. Can we install Sonar so it uses the same folders like Cakewalk by Bandlab? My files are on S: ... I don't want to install files to C:. 3) I've worked on half-finished songs for 20 years...without releasing them...I'm fine with spending 300€ (insert a similar price), but having to pay monthly without making progress hurts. Why can't we keep our Bandlab by Cakewalk software without having to upgrade? 4) Free vs. premium: • Track Manager (new) • Jump-to-track (new) • BandLab Sounds (new) • Elastique Pro • Plugin oversampling • POW-R dithering • Multiple Arranger tracks • Overloud TH-U guitar amp and FX modeling • ProChannel Modules Elastique Pro is time stretching, but it does not disable time strechting function of 3rd party plugins, correct? When extracting files/mixing them down, my default is pow-r3...but pow-r dithering is listed as premium-only...what should we select then?

Thanks!

It's a cheap synth that does not have real velocity layers. Isn't there a volume envelope that is not considered as automation?

Hi! I have a melody played by a synth. I want want to mess with velocities...but I want to make some notes louder. Normally, you do this via a volume envelope, then make some parts louder or less loud. But when done, how do I mix this synth track? If I change the slider in the mixer, the volume envelope overrides my mixer slider/track volume because the volume envelope is automated...but is there a non-automated volume envelope? Here's what I want to do: 1) The synth has a track/mixer volume of -4 db. Then I want to make some notes of the track louder. I use a volume envelope, then move some notes up by 2 db. Bottom line: overall track -4db, some parts +2db = -2 total. 2) Now I go on with different tracks...then want to listen to the song playback. I realize that the synth is to loud compared to the guitars. I want to set the track volume of the synth to e.g. -6db, BUT because of my "some notes up by 2db" volume envelope, I cannot change the track/mixer loudness from -4db to -6db because playing the song back will always cancel my volume change. I could use a bus for this synth, then change the volume there...but not every track in my project should have a bus just for this...there must be some easier way. Please help! Another example: 1) I have a VST flute. For my demo and song playback, the VST flute has a track volume of -6db. I want to finetune the volume of all notes because even when working with velocities are some articulations too loud or too soft...I draw a volume envelope, then adjust parts of the flute... 2) Later when adding new instruments the flute might be too loud or too soft...overall...so I want to change the track volume of the flute again, BUT the DAW does not let me because of my volume envelope.
