Enabling Sound Preview

[Dean]

If you're trying to hear a note immediately upon adding it, the sound preview function may be turned off.

Go to Edit > Preferences (or the equivalent Settings > Preferences menu, depending on your Cakewalk version).

In the preferences window, find the option for "Sound Preview" and make sure the "Enable" checkbox is selected. 

So I have cakewalk sonar.  Using the above instructions doesn't get me there.

Do I need to do something else?  Do you need more information?

Thanks

This is really embarrassing.  But maybe it will help someone.  

I have one track that is a piano.  And one track that is a guitar from Ample Sound called T 6, which is a 6 String Taylor.  All the notes on the piano play.  But not all the notes on the guitar play.  So after searching for any solution I happened to look up at the guitar icon and tried playing the non playing note.  Then I noticed that those two notes were on the same string.  Duh.  You can only play one note on a string.  I moved the non playing note and problem solved.  

Have a good laugh!

As a keyboard player I totally get it - guitars are so weird... 🤪

That depends on how you are playing it, and whether you want the first note to continue while the second note is playing. (at least, on a real guitar).
