It appears at first blush that people are just posting problems.   Are there people who think this is worth downloading and why?




I spend most of my time in the staff view and event list.  I'm running Platinum Gloucester.  The three updates since Gloucester, including Jamaica, introduced a new bug in the staff view.  It involves the snap function.  If you choose a note value you'll notice by moving the mouse around, the snap function doesn't correspond to the note value, as it should and as it does in Gloucester and earlier updates.  There were problems with this in X1 and X2, fixed in X3, but now reappearing again.  CW knows about this and has confirmed it.  I've sent in problem reports so hopefully it will be fixed soon.
 
If you use staff view a lot, use Gloucester.  That's the latest update where the snap function works correctly in staff view.

I too am liking the new routing functions. It's changed my workflow, I'm using some Aux tracks instead of buses in almost every new project. This and the Audio sync update were the two most useful updates for me.

If I'm using an effects return that's only for a group of tracks that I have grouped in a folder, I'll set up the return as an aux track. For instance, I might be using a room reverb or a delay that's only being used for drums. It goes in the drums folder instead of behind the curtain. Far more logical and organized. 
 
If I'm using an effects return that's used widely across the whole project, I'll set up a bus for that as usual. It can stay behind the curtain, out of the way. 
 
The old way of doing things seems so archaic already.

Great comments .... I kinda loved the 'old way' since it was very much like a console topology - but after all it's 2015 and we're using software - the Aux tracks and Folders are a great way to make a mix much more efficient.  Total game changer.

I love the new Aux tracks and have wanted this functionality for years - I just have to work out how to get them to work with my recording workflow, since they require me to not use the 'disable all Input Echo' button that I've become accustomed to!

Could you elaborate on this? I'm not sure I understand your workflow.

Jamaica update killing me. After update i got randomly crashing after project bounce. Once the timeline reaches the end of the project, I get to crash sonar and broken a wav file, which is not append few kilobytes. This is about one of third export. I working on 3 albums at the same time, and with this "new feature", and I'm losing a lot of time.
Can I get some help here, or i need to create a separate thread?

I have had a few problems I wasn't having with the last version. I'm getting distorted playback when I open a project recorded at 96 kHz instead of 48 kHz. For some projects with plugins that add a lot of loudness (like Ozone 6's Maximizer) I get crackling distortion, as if the automatic limiting isn't working.
 
But I'm sure this will get ironed out. I'm really impressed with the ambitious step forward represented by JP, and the new routing is great.
 
It appears that the Gibson regime is working out well for Cakewalk, at least from the outside. As someone who has many dollars invested in Gibson products, it's satisfying to think they are contributing to the music software I've been using since 1989.

Try increasing the latency a bit. Plug-ins like Ozone's Maximizer need a lot of CPU, especially so at higher sample rates.

I suggest rolling back to the previous SONAR version, finish your projects, then look for the source of the problem with JP. The past week I've done dozens of bounces in the process of doing final preparation for a CD album release, and not had any problems. So it's probably not related specifically to JP, which could make the problem harder to track down.
 
Contacting tech support is often a good idea as well.
