sonar doesn't have gapless playback any more, so clicking about in the timeline during playback can cause such glitches, etc, no idea about the format change impact, probably exposing/resolving some obscure bug?

In my experience, Platinum is as close to gapless as any version of Sonar has ever been.
 
I can save projects, change screensets, launch plugins, edit Midi data and tweak automation with barely a glitch.

fair enough, but "barely a glitch" implies some gapping ;-) ... it's now no longer a marketing pitch like it was for v5 or v6 was it? here's a fred wrt to getting gapless in x1 http://forum.cakewalk.com/Tip-of-the-day-How-you-get-GAPLESSAUDIOENGINE-with-SONAR-X1-m2475443.aspx

Yes but "Sonar doesn't have gapless playback anymore" implies that something has changed. Platinum is at least as solid as any other version. I personally would call it gapless.
The reason it is no longer a marketing pitch is because they have reached the point of diminishing returns. Other than this thread who mentions it anymore?

i use sonar, live and studio one, sonar exhibits the most "gapping" when compared to these 2. you can call it what you like but in my experience it is no longer "gapless" compared to earlier versions, so yes, it does indeed imply that something has changed, and if i were to speculate i'd speculate it's to do with "skylight"

people who want to make changes while the transport is running? it's no longer a marketing pitch because it can't be backed up by example

That's not entirely true though.
 
As I stated above, I can do lots of stuff in Sonar with the transport running and it is "virtually glitch free", meaning - the transport doesn't stop, doesn't dropout and keeps on running with everything in sync (which if you think about it, is a minor miracle)
 
It's not perfect, but what software is, especially when the program is also trying to maintain sample accurate playback?

as you will :-)

What's gapless got to do with rerendering my audio?

Hijacked!
Well there you go.... I'll never know.

Guess I'll try and start a new thread tomorrow. Very fraustating exactly the same happened here:

Although admittedly I wasn't the OP however the questions got somewhat diluted so I never got the full answer :)
