Ech, after recording some sequenced takes and adding VSti next recording seems to working only during recording, there is wave form, reacting to input but after stopping wave form and sound disappear...
 
Sometimes it happens, less frequent than infamous 'disk override' which is not disk override but still annoying like a hell :(

ONE used to be able to CTRL+CLICK+DRAG IN/OUT to STRECH an audio clip...no more.
 

They changed it to CTRL + SHIFT +Drag.
Apparently it was in the list of changes.
I also complained and was told to RTFM.

The "Slivers" issue.
 
When auto crossfade is on and you do a lot of clip move, overlap, move again...
...eventually Sonar gets in a state where the overlapping portions break off 
and stay where they are when their parent clips are moved away.
 
I have found no way of reliably reproducing this, but once Sonar
is in this state, the effect is repeatable.
 
I even made screen capture video clips and sent them to the Bakers.
 
IIRC someone said this started way back with the introduction of comping.

Crashing when closing project / closing Sonar. It is very irritating because to many times I have to go into “Task manager” and close the crashed program, so I can open it again. Other irritation is that it does not update the “last project” lists.

What software do you use to create these GIFs Sharke?

Interestingly, it's developed by the brilliant Cockos (Reaper) and it's called LICEcap. 




Thanks, got it!

Agreed. I encounter this when I'm using the Apollo interface, but never happens when I'm using my UFX. I get the sense that it's a state change latched and when Sonar goes from being processed as the priority program it just won't let go. Could be an OS issue perhaps, check for Windows error queues bulking up. In any case, it's pretty annoying, I don't oftenuse the TM to quit, I switch my Apollo off then back on to close but Sonar still won't reopen without a system restart.
Other than that and some unexpected unexplained glitches with MIDI, Sonar has been a real solid performer, but it's the little annoyances that can really impede workflow. Good luck with working this out. ✌️

I sometimes get an error box "Can't Read File" when saving a project to a new version setting, EX: SONG2. 1 to SONG2. 2. Seems to mostly happen in projects containing both midi and audio, but never on a project exclusively containing audio. When this happens, my instinct is to plan to do a complete uninstall and reinstall, but last few months I have been quite stressed about being to reinstall Sonar given the current situation at the business level. I use many different DAW' but have yet to find a software to completely replace Sonar, not so much with mixing, I can mix in any program but for arranging and producing, I feel most at ease working in Sonar, oddly, mixing not so much. To me its always been a producers DAW that meets most of the needs quite handily and better than most other DAW'.

This one has never been fixed and it still occurs. Add a bus, place a plug-in on it and the audio goes crazy loud and distorted...or Sonar just crashes. Usually - but not always - Fab Filter plug-ins. I usually save the project before and after adding a plug-in and once restarted, all good from thereon...unless I add another bus and plug-in. 
 
It's been suggested by Noel to turn off the audio engine and uncheck the 64bit precision engine. Doing the former does not always work. 
 
...and yes, setting up side-chaining with various plug-ins - waves in particular - will eventually bring on a crash. 

Midi notes occasionally triggered by Play, then notes sent to ALL instruments.

Hey there
I will have hard time to explain it because I cant recreate it on demand but it happens all the time- 10-20 times per sound search. 
 
So let's say I have ReFX Nexus software synth loaded, and I also have several others loaded, every one uses the same Kontrol MIDI controller for Input (set to "None" which shows as "Omni"._ I am chanding sounds Next, Next... after so many sounds, I press play on transport to audition this sound with drums. I dont press the key, but Play triggers the last Midi note that I played on keyboard and the sound begins to play along with the Drum track. Then I stop, sound stops, but next note I press on controller triggers all other instruments. 
 
So again: first- the Play triggers sound without me playing notes and it continues indefinitely until I Stop. After Stop, the next note is sent to all instruments. And then it becomes normal again. What in the world? Happens every day. Thank you. 

Since I work a lot with MIDI editing, these are my concern:
 
1. I would love to see the MIDI transpose feature back to track view (which you CAN control using + and - key in your numeric pad keyboard, along with reverb and chorus send) rather than buried in Inspector bar. You know, in MIDI track, beside volume, pan, etc. We had it perfect in Sonar 8.5. I don't hate Skylight interface in general, but many things have gone just wrong since Cakewalk implement it. You know you can NOT change value using + and - in numeric keyboard (on the right side of PC keyboard) anymore.
 
2. I would love to see track selection feature (Pick tracks...) back in PRV like we used to have -for us to pick whatever track we want, rather than "focus previous track" or "focus next track".
 
3. In PRV would love to scroll to the right (or to the left) by measure, by beat, or by any musical frame using arrow key on PC keyboard. I'm not sure what measurement they implement for current scrolling system, it's just not musically snapped to the screen. I mean, can we just use arrow button and the screen scroll by beat or measure?
 
4. I love to see option about how we would like our notes in PRV being shown. Regular bar style, triangle drum map style, or diamond shaped style like if we use external MIDI drum synth.
 
Thanks!
