It's been a year
It's been a year and I have yet to be able to finish one recording with this f***ing software.
Is it the intention of Roland/Cakewalk to piss musicians off to the point of dumping all their projects out of sheer frustration with this crap?
I follow the instructions and it glitches out. I get a few measures of a drum track going, decide I want to add or remove a crash and it adds/removes the next 8 of them. The midi doesn't sync with the live audio in put for the metronome and NO...it's not a latency, sound card, computer issue.
I joined this forum just to vent my absolute frustration with your product. I've used disassemblers that are less glitchy than this...ware. Lord...
The whole idea is to make quality recordings on a PC rather than using hardware and tape but I gotta say...although the quality of a 4 track cassette may suck at LEAST I'd be able to lay down some ideas without getting so pissed off that I walk away from the harware for months at a time.
Maybe you could have MUSICIANS give their input as to how to arrange your interface rather than the pin-head on Youtube or who ever is doing it as, if I could afford it, this software would be a SURE way for me to build a reason to buy a hardware multi-track recorder and it WON'T be made by Roland.
Thanks...I feel better. Now I'll go practice more scales and technique which is what I do when I'm at my end with this...s**t.

Sorry to hear your experience has been so negative. I guess I've been lucky because my Sonar 8.5.3 works like a dream. Must be because of my UA-1G. That's one hunk of audio mini-muscle. I've been working on a tune with almost 90 active tracks and more buses than will fit on the screen at one time. Knock on wood.

Pity you didn't join to take advantage of the many helpful and knowledgable people here - would probably have had you up and running in no time. Calling the software names doesn't really solve your problems.... ....a bad craftsman blames his tools.

Well, it took you a year to do it, but joining this forum is one of the best first steps you can take. Sometimes even the simplest thing can appear not to work but asking on the forum often turns up someone who either knows or can help you troubleshoot.
The absolute best advice I can give you is to take another shot at it and ask questions on the forum. Lots of great and very knowledgeable people here, including a few real pros. There is a definite learning curve, but once you get past the basics you can go as near or as far as you want.

yes, but do you really think he'll post again and try and get issues resolved?

Hope springs eternal. But yeah, if he doesn't come back, then it's his loss.

I suppose he could have started off by listing his system specs, what version of Sonar, you know, the usual unimportant guff that gives us people actually TRYING to solve problems just the tiniest hint about what might be wrong.
Nah - much better to vent off and provide no clues whatsoever.

Solving your proplems requires rational and organised approach. Listing gear and settings properly is essential as well. Nothing in your post indicates you've done serious efforts. We don't even know what software you're using LOL!
You say it's not a soundcard or computer issue. Quite a statement. It's not a guitar or wall-plug issue, is it? The forum is full of folks that use X1 and other CW software with no problems.
SONAR PE 8.5.3, Asus P5B, 2,4 Ghz Dual Core, 4 Gb RAM, GF 7300, EMU 1820, Bluetube Pre - Kontakt4, Ozone, Addictive Drums, PSP Mixpack2, Melda Creative Pack, Melodyne Plugin etc. The benefit of being a middle aged amateur is the low number of years of frustration ahead of you.

Yes, I think that says a lot. If the software were that bad a lot more people would be having nightmares over it. Most of the problems I've seen here were caused by wrong settings and configurations and those were quickly solved once the facts of the situation became known. This is why I frequently ask people to post screencaps of all the tabs in their audio options window. Many times the problem, and the solution, became obvious after a quick look at what was in those tabs. But to help someone, first that person must want help and be willing to put a little effort into resolving their problems.
