Cakewalk Upgrades, Plug-ins, Muting.

[cwdesigns]

I'm using a older version of Sonar Cakewalk Platinum 2017 in windows 10 , If I upgrade to Bandlab version would I have to reinstall all of the plugins again?

Also are some newer plugins not compatible with older versions of cakewalk?

I'm a drummer, when recording I can still hear my drums in my IEM. Turned off monitors in inteface set to headphones. My only work around is muting the drum mics. Is this correct or is there an even easier fix?

All plugins should work both ways. You might just need to make sure CbB knows all the paths that SONAR 2017 is scanning if any are non-default.

Might need some clarification of the routing to answer your second question. If the Interface is not set to pass input signals to the headphone out (i.e. Direct Monitoring), and the tracks in SONAR do not have Input Echo enabled, you should not hear anything other the direct, acoustic sound during recording.

What interface?

Focusrite Clarett - Octo Pre. That was the first thing I did was mute the monitors and unmute the headphone in Focusrite. The Input Echo may be enabled? I will check on that. Thank you again David.
