@Mannymac I happened to keep previous versions in my Downloads folder. I had to install earlier versions first but it only took a couple of minutes.

Thanks, Mark. This occurs in all cases and PRV is not on.

I'm having the exact same issues and behavior as Mauro Gaspa above, except no crash error. Perhaps I'm just not waiting long enough to get an error message. Within about 2 minutes on any project, Sonar becomes unresponsive to any keystrokes and the graphics freeze (although the music will continue to play). I must open the Task Manager to End Task. This is a showstopper for me therefore I have reverted to the previous version of Sonar, which works fine.

Wow! The GUI and engine performance improvements are nothing short of fantastic! Thanks!

msmcleod. Yep! That's the culprit! Thanks!

profwacko - Will do. I opened a case but have not received any updates for a week. I'm not at liberty to share a link to the audio tracks (per Noels' suggestion), at least not publicly, but I can do so if requested via the Cakewalk ticket. They haven't requested any links or files yet. I've noticed that things become a little more responsive if I slide the subgroups section over to the left of the screen, although it's still not great. I also noticed that metering on the individual tracks (such as the CA-2 compressor in the pro channel and the performance indicator at the top) gets sluggish as well. The issue appears to worsen as I add more tracks and FX to a project. My system has plenty of horsepower so that's not the root cause. The same large projects worked fine in CbB.

Thanks everyone for the suggestions. I tried most of them (except disabling the C-state, I don't want to mess with that) but no luck. I'll wait for a response from Cakewalk.

Yes. It occurs when audio is not playing. I will submit a report. I was hoping it was just a setting tweak.

I just uninstalled this version, and reinstalled the previous version of Sonar that I demo-ed before purchase, and the issue does not occur , so I believe this is a bug. I then re-installed the current version and the problem came back. Bummer. Here is a Youtube link:

Sonar, CbB Custom built i7 7820X 32Gb RAM 2 x 1TB system SSD Win 11 NVIDIA GTX 1070 SSL 2+ interface All drivers are current.

Did that, too. Also uninstalled and reinstalled Sonar. No change.

I just subscribed today and installed 2024.09. When switching from track view to console view, there is a noticeable lag when Sonar draws the console screen. In addition, If I select multiple faders and slide them up or down, they do not move in a smooth, simultaneous manner (as they typically did in Cakewalk). Also, when selecting a fader, the mouse pointer disappears when moving it which is also odd. I tried turning on and off the DPI and GPU acceleration options but this did not solve the issue. I also installed the most recent Nvidia drivers but no luck. Am I missing something or is this a bug?
