Is there a way to "try" the new Sonar on the same system as the free CBL before committing to the subscription?

Do we have to uninstall the free version if we install the new on, will it overwrite the free one or parts of it?

Will there be conflicts if we have both installed?

Is there a demo or 'try before buy' option on Sonar?

Cakewalk by Bandlab nd Cakewalk Sonar are completely separate installations

Exactly this. Sonar installs as a new application alongside Cakewalk by BandLab. Same as Cakewalk by BandLab installs alongside SONAR Platinum and all other previous versions. 

You can try the new version without a subscription by simply downloading it at https://www.cakewalk.com/sonar. Demo mode just prevents saving/exporting.

Great! Thanks men.

Same old graphics problems (crossfade glitches) on this version. Why?

Hopefully the autosave is quicker and doesn't cripple the workflow every time it runs(excruciating), but i won't be able to tell that unless i buy, which i won't, because the graphics are a major issue. This is a shame, i had high hopes of this getting fixed, otherwise this is a great program which is smartly designed. 

I have submitted tickets about the crossfade issue before and it was acknowledges that the program should NOT behave like this.

But it's not fixed.

not an option

Why not? Autosave has bitten me more than once. Just get into the habit of hitting ctrl + s frequently
