Has anyone noticed a smoother Sonar with this update? It seems to me that its performance is better.

John, I was working with it last night and DID notice SP to be snappier.. Also seemed a lot smoother even than the IPSWICH version. Was doing a rough mix for a client and had to transfer the files from an old version of Sonar. Copied all the tracks over, renamed the tracks and got to work adding Aux files (instead of using busses). Was REALLY nice how fast things got to moving and the rough mix was done in a couple of hours. Also like that the Smart Screen doesn't come back up after I close the file (speeds up things) but I key bound it to the letter S so that I can recall it when/if I need it. So far so good! Cake, I like it!!!

I am in the camp of liking the Start Screen to reappear. However I fully understand the wish for those that don't want it. I find it very handy. Now that it is much quicker it is acting very well indeed. They did something to the internals of Sonar that to me equals better performance. Yes they have another winner on their hands.

I hear you John. I like the Smart Screen as well. I also like that it's more "controllable"... They should put toggle in the preferences section so that you can turn it on or off like the original quick list had. As for the internals.. Yes, if they equal better performance, I'm all for it!

Well, they have surely done something in the performance department in this Jamaican Plain update.
All I know is what I hear . . . I've been working on a project quite intensely for the last week, and like a fool I did the upgrade mid-project, only to be pleasantly surprised . . . as others have remarked here, the word "snappier" is best to describe it. The timing of playing back the project is undeniably tighter than what I heard before my upgrade.
This project is heavy on large Kontakt sample loads. The PDF eZine that Cakewalk have produced for this upgrade mentions "virtual instrument streaming" as a performance optimization, and I can immediately hear that difference.
Great work Cakewalk ! . . . keep 'em coming . . . my January membership renewal is now solidified.

I just did a master buss to track recording using patch points. This song was pretty much completed but I had not frozen anything or bounced any track.
Being the master buss its the entire mix. Nothing could be easier or simpler to do and I loose nothing in the doing.
I have a choice of muting all the other tracks to hear the mix or solo the single track. In this case I chose to solo the single track. It sounded the exact same as it did going out the master buss as a full mix with all the tracks playing back.
Though I never saw this as useful before I can see it now as a major improvement to Sonar. This means I'm indebted to all those that have been so vocal in pushing this feature all these years. I thank you.

I was thinking the exact same numbers! (Most dentists agree on this.) 13.7% better performance and 11.2% better sound!
