Where's the manual? Thanks!

Awesome!!! Thanks sjoens.

Ok, I found Elastique Pro in the AudioSnap Palette, but I have no experience in using that function. Is there any tutorial or documentation on how to use AudioSnap generally? I would hope that I could convert each track to a new tempo using it, as you explain above, Bass Guitar. Hey BandLab, how about some updated video tutorials or text documentation how to use this and other functions in Sonar? I really miss the days of printed Sonar manuals.

In the past (like 10 years ago), I have exported each track and processed them individually in Sound Forge with Elastique Timestretch, which doesn't seem to be available anymore. Its functions now seem to be included in Elastique Prol. Somehow, since it's on my computer, Timestretch has shown up in the Sonar plugin manager as a DX plugin. I assume I can just use it in Sonar. But don't we get Elastic Pro included in the paid version of Sonar? I can't seem to find it.

Wow, this sounds more difficult than I thought. Could there be a feature request here, something similar to what Mixcraft does? I was hoping it would be just that easy.

Well, gosh darn it, I have recorded about 12 audio tracks in a Sonar project and then realized that the tempo is too bouncy and I need to slow the song down by maybe only a couple of beats-per-minute. Luckily, my drums are provided by Superior Drummer, so they will change with any project tempo change. But I would appreciate any advice on how to change the entire project tempo and stretch the audio tracks to fit. Should I just change the project tempo from the start and then grab and stretch the ends of each track to the ends of the (altered) measures? There is a video on YouTube about finalizing the stretch with Elastique Pro. (I have paid SONAR.) Any other tutorials or documentation you are aware of? Thanks for any help!!!

Yeah, but I had to click the X every day to close the message--every time I launched. Too much extra work! Haha. Why would anyone want to be online during a session? True story: a client of mine was in the middle of a guitar solo--a good performance to that point--when an update message from Windows popped on the screen. Client noticed it and lost concentration, messing up the take. After that, I didn't want my music computer online. Not sure how offline activation works. I'll check it out when the time comes.

Build 109 (membership version) has been very stable on my Win 10 system for what I'm doing--not much with midi, mostly audio tracking. At first I missed the appearance of old Cakewalk--the black lines between tracks seemed to be thicker--but the new look Sonar is really growing on me, and it does seem to be sharper and easier on the eyes. I appreciate that the nag screen to connect to the Internet for full features has been moved to a line on the startup/projects window. I stay off-line as much as possible. So, I'm digging it.

This makes free version pretty much unusable for me.

Relatively new member. I find the frequent online activations unnecessary and annoying. Of course I can disconnect from the Internet afterwards, but being forced to renew activations every couple of months or whatever is weirdly totalitarian.

And use them separately? Or is having a membership (I have a membership) going to override the free tier?

Yean, man! I keep everything backed up twice on two external hard drives!

Thanks!!! This is exactly what I wanted to know. Now to install the new Sonar!

Hi, Bristol. So backwards compatibility is possible? To what extent? I would expect a placeholder for Sonar-only plugins when opening in old Cakewalk a project saved in new Sonar.

Hi, everyone! Just took a recent discounted offer for Bandlab membership for the first time. I was about to download the new Sonar when something occured to me: I have been using Cakewalk by BandLab (and the Cakewalk before that) for many years and have a couple dozen projects I'm still working on. If I open and save those projects in the new Sonar, will the projects still be compatible (at least opening them) with the old Cakewalk by BandLab? Can I never go back to old Cakewalk with a project saved in Sonar? I understand that any new functions and plug-ins from Sonar would not carry over to old Cakewalk. But I wonder if it's best just to complete the old projects in Cakewalk by BandLab and then create new ones in the new Sonar.
