Sonar 2025.08 Feedback


Recommended Posts

Since the new Sonar update, I have encountered a problem, nothing appears in the Create section of Quick Start. I really need help, do you know how to fix the problem? I have already deleted and reinstalled several times, but the problem persists. I have not found anything on the internet that talks about it. Please help me.

Plays,

Welcome aboard.  I'm a little surprised that no one from the staff has responded to your post (19 hours!).   I doubt if your problem with the Quick Start panel is serious enough to require a reinstallation, hopefully correcting it will be fairly simple, but I'm not knowledgeable enough to help you with this aspect of Sonar.  Try contacting support@cakewalk.com or going to Support at the Cakewalk website.  Hope you have success in solving your problem soon.

The Create page should show .CWT template files from which new projects can be started. By default these are located in

C:\Cakewalk Content\Sonar\Project Templates

If the default files are present, check Preferences > File > Folder Locations to verify the path set for Project Templates.

If the files are missing I can share a copy of the default set for you to paste in, but that would suggest some larger issue with the installation process (maybe folder permissions) that needs troubleshooting.

EDIT: What happens if you just hit Ctrl+N?

Because Noel Told there is no new things happened in this Update except some Coding Fix .

I think that since the link is working (as in taking you to the page), I would expect info from this release to be displayed.  If it is important enough to update, the info should also be updated.

I went there expecting information on the 2025.08 release not the July release.  Bakers please check if the page exists and redirect the "What's New" to point there...

 

Thanks,

Yes - this is true, but having a link after installation that shows you "past" changes and not the current changes (from the installation) seems a bit strange.  The link should show you the new changes.  I think that is the point.   Just for the record, it was never about "whether I could find the changes", it was about being directed to info that was not there.

Thanks,

OK, i give in then, but lets be honest, the sticky shows the latest (new)  changes. What is more current than that ?

I believe this may be a bug inherited from CbB:

For a synth in the synth rack with  MIDI Source(s), Synth Track Folder and Synth Audio Output(s), if any track in the Track Folder is archived the synth rack Solo button when clicked fails to turn green but the global solo does and all the available folder tracks show as soloed but the synth rack solo button is then disabled and cannot un-solo the folder tracks, if then all folder tracks are enabled the synth rack Solo button resets to initial conditions.

This can be quite inconvenient for say a Kontakt 8 Multi setup where you wish to archive one or more tracks yet solo and un-solo the synth...

I tried to install the new update yesterday and it kept saying cakewalk application still running please close and retry, there was no instance of cakewalk running at the time. I bought the paid version of the new Sonar about 2 months ago and I have been using Cakewalk pretty much since it's inception and I have never had so many problems with this new version ,very frustrating!

SONG LIST window: the feature "PRELOAD NEXT SONG DURING PLAYBACK" does not work. When the feature is check marked to work nothing happens.

The lyrics screen has strange text when display scale is set at 125%

Here are some wish list items to the song list window:

1. ALLOW THE USER TO ADJUST THE FONT SIZE TEXT IN THE SONG LIST WINDOW INDEPENDENT OF THE GLOBAL DISPLAY SCALE. 
2. ADD MORE COLUMNS IN THE SONG LIST WINDOW SO USER CAN DO CUSTOM SORTING TO THE LIST.
3. ALLOW THE SONG LIST TEXT TO BE COLORIZED. EXAMPLE - ROCK TUNES ARE RED, BALLADS ARE BLUE, ETC.

Sonar is a great DAW!

Sonar does not remember the screen set console view track locations

I just moved the console view divider and it saved to a screenset here.

I saved, closed Sonar.  Reopened  Sonar and reopened - the console view divider was where I saved it.

Are you sure you have not locked your screenset?

Hi, that is also happening to me (the same issue)!

The first screen clip is a normal view of a file with tracks. The second screen clip is the same view after I move the "NOW SLIDER" to the right by a small amount the file slider now is way past the end point of the track (152 measures) and is now at 1675 measures. The slider is un-usable. This is not how the slider use to function. If I move the slider all the way to the right to the end, the ending measure is measure now at 2786! That is over 13 hours of possible audio. What has changed?

Also need a clarification on the new start and end point feature.  I normally use the control mci CC to stop the track at the end. Is this the same thing?

As Promidi suggested, this sounds like either a locked screenset or possibly a Workspace being applied.
