Install:
I get an error during the install process:
"You must enter a full path with drive letter..."
During loading Loopmaster Content and Mix Loop Content.
 
Happened on both clean install and reinstall. Hoping it doesn't effect anything other than this content, however a little annoyed I don't get to set parameters as far as content locations on install since I have separate drives for audio and sample libraries.
 
Twice my Komplete Kontrol dll froze up Sonar on scan, and even though I did get it to scan finally sometimes the VST doesn't load properly and I have to delete track and re insert instrument. Not sure if its Sonar or NI issue (posting on their forums as well) checking to see if anyone else has had any issues.
 
Here's an odd thing - maybe I am just missing a default setting...
I usually move my Multi dock to my second screen, drag the browser into it, and then drag vst instruments into as I am working on them, however:
1) Browser sticks when trying to drag and drop to multi dock on second screen - minor 30second freeze up of Sonar.
2) My VST instruments won't dock at all. This is a biggy for me - its part of my workflow and irritating the hell out of me. So I went back to Sonar X3 and not having these problems there.
 
Any feedback appreciated.

Are you installing from the Cakewalk Command Centre?

Hi. Did you install via CCC? Did you change settings in CCC?
Did you do a vst reset, and rescan after installing SONAR and Komplete Kontrol (in case you have an older version of Cakewalk software)?
Best of luck.

Yes I installed from CCC, and I did a VST reset.
No, I did not change settings in CCC.

I would log a call with both Cakewalk and NI I am aware that there were some NI issue related to language when SONAR S-Plat was initially released.
 
Do none of you VST's dock including Cakewalk supplied VST's

To dock plugins you need hold Ctrl.  Sorry there's low affordance on 'discovering' that.
It was changed after a lot of complaint about the multidock grabbing effect windows too easily.

Well now I know why my VST's wouldn't dock any more. I must have missed that change in one of the release docs.

This would be the kind of thing that would be great to flash as a "bulletin" on a start screen. Same with O no longer controlling offset mode due to people typing O by mistake and coming to the forums to say automation doesn't work.
