What changes are there on the prochannel update?

is it only this?

• Crash on playback with prochannel plugins on surround bus

That was actually a Sonar side fix. There's no change in the ProChannel modules themselves aside from PC2A and the Concrete Limiter being moved to a separate installer.

the installer on the Sonar update screen failed to run the install on the first 2x but on the third try it worked... just fyi

Backward compatibility works the same way it always has, you'll get a missing features notification, and the file will open in the older version. Any features that were in CbB projects that are not available in the free tier (and it's not much) will load, but with those functions disabled. If you were using Elastique Pro stretching for example, that would open in the free tier of Sonar to use Elastique Efficient instead.

I want to emphasize that the resources available in the latest free version should remain free as a way of, in fact, maintaining compatibility.

On the latest version is an update to the ProChannel modules.

Tried to install but the message about the update keeps showing on product updates on Sonar.

Tried to install trought cakewalk products center, same thing.

 

Same happens for me. Click download/install and it seems like it installs but the update is still there as though it is not installed.

This should be fixed now via a back end change, might take a few minutes/restart before you see it though.

hi, since 2025.06 when I press play, it takes many seconds before it starts, but when I press stop it happens immediately.

This is on existing projects. I tried a new Basic project and this did not occur and recording was ok there too.

I disabled all FX and it still occurred.

Some messages, such as the one on the opening screen, are not translated into the language chosen during installation.

Correct, the new changes have not been localized yet.

Where can I find information about what will happen to my projects if my subscription ends and I don't renew it? Will I be able to open them in CbB?

I believe that if you do not renew your subscription and have added paid features to your projects, they will not be available or some type of error will be reported.

However, if your project only has elements that are included in the FREE version, it will continue to open completely.

This is just an opinion from the perspective of the program, but since I have never had a subscription, it is just a thought.

As for me, who only used Cakewalk, I have been using SONAR free/trial fully. Both opening old projects and creating 2 new ones, saving them and then opening them in Cakewalk.

For me, the only error that appeared was a memory error, which I DUMPed in a previous comment in this topic.
