Greetings all from Brier Green Studio A the home of Blackie James.  I have had absolutely no problems with this latest update or any of the previous updates. Everything is running smooth. I think the overall sound and performance has improved.  Thanks to the Bakers at cakewalk !

My latency has never run this low EVER!!!! Projects that used to struggle at 256 samples ASIO now run effortlessly at 96 samples!!!! Great baking, Bakers!!!

I'm liking JP a lot. As mentioned above ... the start menu issue has been observed and it is minor 

Craig's post on the Cakewalk blog explains routing options quite well ... made the whole thing super easy for me and like Sharke ... it's opened a new door for me...

Just used patch point to seperate frequencies using CW multiband ...then inserted aux to set global output...
 
Funny thing is ... during the SONAR 8.5 days we had a huge mixing template that did a real Frankenstein track separation to access multiband mixing it was a bit cumbersome and time consuming to mix  ...I just did it in a jiffy with new JP routing options as explained by Craig in the blog

Really like the snappy fast cloning and multiple tracks insert. Overall - fast feel as though I upgraded my PC. Need to check to make sure I didn't.  :)

Just done the upgrade , not used the new features yet . Last night I opened lots of old projects all fine with no issues at all
Logical extension for sharkes way of working us to add aux to the console track selection drop down then you caould still have a "bus" type view if you like to do comparison side by side

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.


The long version is here: http://forum.cakewalk.com/Managing-recordarm-and-input-echo-settings-m3306375.aspx
 
The short version is: I record a lot of audio where I need Input Echo enabled, all via the same input port. (eg. Vocals with effects, guitars via Guitar Rig, etc.) This means I need an easy way to disable echo on all tracks except the one I'm currently working with. My previous workflow would be "Click the enable/disable all Input Echo' button in the Control Bar to clear it (and therefore disable input echo across all tracks), then enable Input Echo on the track I want to record into. However, this breaks Aux tracks because they will be disabled as well. Now, I have to manually scroll through all my tracks and switch off each one individually, which is tiresome. (A similar process applies to my Recording workflow, but that doesn't interact with Aux Tracks.)
 
To put it another way, I want to be able to quickly clear Input Echo on 'physical' inputs, not 'virtual' inputs. I can't think of a time I'd ever want to disable the virtual inputs (though I'm sure that doesn't hold for everybody).

I might not be using SONAR to its fullest potential, but I like it a lot. I do not think about having a DAW anymore, I just work on it

Thanks for the input. We'll investigate whether we can make an optional behavior for the ctrl bar input echo button.
Perhaps CTRL clicking that button could only toggle echo state on hardware inputs and leave virtual inputs alone...
