Something is wrong with my audio/midi settings. Will uninstall and reinstalling return sonar to factory settings without losing my project. Any insight from anyone would be great

Hi, and welcome to this forum. Uninstalling and re installing will not do anything to your projects.
If you give some more info, you might not have to uninstall.
All the best.

Uninstall/Reinstall won't affect any data. That data includes, projects, config files and registry entries. It is possible to manually remove the config files and registry data, a.k.a. clean install. Before going to the trouble of a clean install, it may be more productive to figure out what is wrong and attempt to correct the problem. If the problem persists, one thing to try is rename Aud.ini, and TTSEQ.ini in %appdata%\Cakewalk\SONAR Platinum. These files are recreated with default entries the next time SONAR starts up. It is also possible to reset to factory defaults these files and some registry entries with a full repersonalization by holding the CTRL while starting SONAR. That said, here are the instructions for a clean install http://www.cakewalk.com/S...n-Install-Instructions

Thanks for replying, Zara. Problem is any audio I record comes through left/ right microphone and I can't seem to change it in preferences. So every audio track also records all midi tracks as well. I'm not a computer wiz☹️️

Thanks scook. I'll give it a bash

This does not sound like something requiring reinstall, repersonalization or the like. It sounds like a setup or procedural problem. You might want to provide a little more information about you setup. What audio interface are you using?

I'm using m-audio 2x2 anniversary
