Sonar 2024.12 Feedback

In Track View, you still can only resize the FX bin a limited amount. Using dozens of plug ins, you have to go into the bin and scroll to see them. Please fix this!

another option (one i use) is keeping everything in the Pro Channel (PC) view including the FX Chain which let's you install many FX and allows scrolling.

if you're using so many FX on a single track, you might also think about using a "channel" FX which can bundle many FX into a single UI (e.g. the Waves SSL Track FX has EQ, compression, expansion, filtering, side-chaining, gain etc) and could make things easier for you.

Thanks for the reply and  tips. I put together images & videos showing issues. When I mix I rarely use more than a handful of VSTs that will fit. I master what I mix and do pure mastering and track view is optimal for that as you'll see. I hope @Noel Borthwickcan view this and let me know when it may be fixed in updates.

This isn’t a bug. Feature requests should be posted in the feature requests channel.

Currently having two issues with this build. As this is the first build I have used i do not know if these exisited prior to this release.

Issue #1 - After recording of automation (e.g. slider fade) play back of automation will not work until project is saved, closed and reloaded.

Issue #2 - Control surface input has notable delay (e.g. Arturia Keylab88 mapped as mackie controller, sliders work but there is significant delay before DAW responds rendering the control surface unusable)

I don't believe I saw a response to James' issues. I haven't loaded 2024.12 yet, but these issues will be a problem for me, if they are not unique to James.

I'm not seeing either of those issues using a control surface with the AZController plugin. I don't currently have a Mackie surface set up. His second issue may be due to PDC-inducing plugins.

I'm pretty sure there would be more reports of problems if there were a more general issue with Mackie control in Sonar.

Hello Noel. I'd  linked to where I put the feature request in. I got a reply that it'd be kept on file as a suggestion. While  not a bug it's a sudden major change affecting everyone. If the old code can be put back in, to make that new resizing boxes layout optional, so it can be switched back to enlarge as needed to let all plug-ins to be visible it can help me & likely many others. I'd asked you here since I recognized your name and role / I didn't know if you knew that I posted about it months ago, and if you heard of this actually being worked on now. It's also a larger issue, that such changes should perhaps be done as optional or at least vetted in the community. I think we all would have wanted it optional.

Sonar Issue: No Track Numbers and Automation Node information 'windows' are blank. Most of the time when opening a project (existing or new) the track numbers in Track View are not present, and the information 'window' for nodes in automation are blank. On rare occasions I have track numbers and information in automation node information windows.  Version 2024.12. Suggestions?
