I tried ending the task but im still having the same issue when I open it again. Is there any delays for new users? This is frustrating. Just want to make some music. Are you opening it by clicking on a project? If so try opening it in safe mode. Hold down shift the click on the project. Have you tried opening it by just using the shortcut without a project.

mgustavo Posted Wednesday at 06:36 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 06:36 PM Hi, I'd like to thank BandLab and the bakers for this free version of Sonar! Also I'd like to report an issue when moving project content by clicking and dragging in the Time Ruler. I don't know if it's a known issue but there is a delay between Time Ruler numbers and audio / midi clips, when moving to right or left. Thanks in advance! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dao Allegro Posted Wednesday at 06:49 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 06:49 PM @WookieeI am opening it using the shortcut and I'm not clicking on a project. Here's a quick video, it just does this for hours and never progresses 2025-06-25 14-45-29.mp4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn Stanton Posted Wednesday at 06:52 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 06:52 PM so when you tried to re-install the software (possibly as administrator) and rebooted the machine, what happened? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dao Allegro Posted Wednesday at 07:38 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 07:38 PM @Jonathan Sasor Yes, for example if I click file the typical drop down showing new, open, quick start .... shows but when I select new and create a new basic project I am still having the same issue, the circle keeps on spinning and I get a message in the bottom right that says opening project but it never opens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wookiee Posted Wednesday at 09:08 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 09:08 PM @Dao Allegro try opening in safe mode and reject all plugins, see if it loads that way. If it does it implies a broken core plugin. I suggest if that is the case, complete uninstall, registry clean. Cold boot of your machine and reinstall. Do you have any anitvirus or malware running?

Jim Green Posted Wednesday at 10:35 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 10:35 PM Just installed. When I went into preferences scaled up the gui to 125% and enabled GPU acceleration, every label got translated to Chinese when I re-booted Sonar. I fiddled with the scaling again, re-booted and got Italian! The next time after re-booting, I got Russian. This is the most bizarre start to installing new software I've ever had. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milton Sica Posted Wednesday at 11:23 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 11:23 PM I thought I might be mistaken and that I wasn't seeing the option, but now I can confirm. I have an installation on a machine where the option to Show the video appears and another, like the one in the image, doesn't appear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When retrieving the newly saved preset, it does not update - keep showing the original layout. Also, creating a new preset from the track view menu does not update the presets listed in track manager when the track manager window is open. It needs to be closed and then reopened to refresh. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where can I find this? I could only do this by choosing one of the existing options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milton Sica Posted 12 hours ago Share Posted 12 hours ago @msmcleod You commented on another topic: "The Free edition of Sonar will continue to show the old Track Manager dialog." but that's not true. The Track Manager in the free edition has the crown icon and doesn't open like it did in Cakewalk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Track Manager in the free edition has the crown icon and doesn't open like it did in Cakewalk. What you say is only true for "Track Manager" in the View menu. The old Track Manager is not a view - it's a dialog - so we show the crown in this menu only. There was previously no Track Manager entry in the View menu. The following will show the old Track Manager dialog: Pressing "H" when the Track View (TV) or Console View (CV) is in focus. Selecting "Track Manager" from the TV or CV Track Manager button context menu. Selecting "Track Manager" from the TV "Tracks" menu. Selecting "Track Manager" from the CV "Strips" menu I've updated the original post to make this clearer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't it be much simpler and more transparent for the user to include an IF in the application's business rule? If ! SonarFree then ......open NewTrackManager Else ..... open OldTrackManager End if Honestly, all these steps complicate things more than they make them easier. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Green Posted 11 hours ago Share Posted 11 hours ago I re-installed Sonar Free through the Cakewalk Product Center and the program opened in the Russian edition as before. What should I do? Un-install, then clean out my registry? If there is a menu option to change language editions, I can't find it because every label is in Russian.
