(Hopkinton) Sonar stops responding when I try to add a new track.
 
I was working on a project since morning in (Gloucestor), all was well.
Upgraded to (Hopkinton) during lunchtime, after that could not proceed any further with the project.
Sonar stops responding after some time...
 
...Update......
Problem Solved. (it worked just fine the next day I started working on it...)
Hopkinton working great now....

Thanks bakers! I like the start screen. Mastering and mixing templates are cool too. And I just noticed that you can now hide the pro channel. When did you guys do that???? I like the pro channel myself, but I remember reading that some people preferred to work without it. So great job guys for listening to your customers!

FWIW I have this problem too. I left my setting to check after 24 hours. However, it will never check. It didn't work on Windows 8.1 nor Windows 10. It is an easy workaround for me as I only need to go to settings and press the "check now" button.

I would like to give you specifics but I don't know what you need to know. It is a very minor issue for me but maybe not for others.

I have CCC set to the 24 hour interval, I haven't started it since last update (1.1.1.20) When I opened CCC it showed no updates available, just a matter of clicking the 'check now' or whatever it is, and the updates showed, Platinum, core plugins and Local Doc's.

 
Thanks guys. So, it's not so much the [Check Now] button that is failing to fetch, but more so that it's just not respecting the interval.
 
If you don't mind and you're up for it, I'll reach out over PM and see if I can get some more details from your systems.

I can't figure out how to disable the new start screen?



I wish more people would read the release eZine, many of the questions posed in the forum after release are answered in there.

I really like the new start screen, but does it need to reappear once a project has been loaded ?...
 



I am seeing this also. I've seen unpredictable display of the normal "File-Open" dialog, also, when using the "Open Project" button on the start screen.
 
So far, nothing too annoying. It would not surprise me if there were a minor bug here. I'll try and come up with a reproduceable series of steps.

lulz... here I am trying to avoid auto thingamajigs while others expect stuff to show up RIGHT NOW ALL THE TIME!!!
 
Can't win eh, lads?

Hi Beeps...

Yeah, it's a slowly changing scenario...

In the past, we needed every ounce of power for the DAW and all the scheduled things such as checking for updates drain power and can happen at less than optimum times...

But as PC power continues to increase and bandwidth as well, permit many people to allow these smaller drains with no hindrance to work...

I myself keep them off on most of my machines but I've begun to allow a little here and there and finding no problems...

So one day soon (?) we'll all be able to enjoy these conveniences... ;-)

Hi Gang!

For those of us not using CCC or similar situations...

Can anyone please post a list of which files to update for this (Hop) release?

I downloaded SPlat and plugins update as well as the local docs.

Are there other items updated this time?

Many thanks!

Happy Sonaring!

Hi I haven't seen anyone having the problem I'm having, My start screen is completely blank, No recent project icons, no templates but if I click on existing projects my folder comes up. The start screen was working fine for the first few times I was opening and closing projects, I'm wondering do you have to be connected to the internet for it to work? I only connect my Daw computer for updates. I really like the start screen and would love to use it, also I'm worried about the templates I have created not being available.
Thanks Guys,
Andrew
