OK, new question - when would I look for the actual update to be out?  Not trying to rush Cakewalk by any stretch, just curious as I haven't paid much attention in the past.

It seems to variety between about 3 days and 10 days, depending on whether there are any minor issues with the early release.

I think the over riding principle that Cakewalk applies is that things are ready for release to a set standard, that is early access or full release.

The release candidate I used for writing the eZine seemed really solid, and the early release is a later rev. It wouldn't surprise me if the early release ends up being the same as the final release, but we'll see what happens after the early release is out in the world for a few days.

Boy, I hope the final is not the same as the early access. I've got major hassles (a few, it would seem). Mainly, this edition has slowed my 4.5 gHz quad i7 machine to a complete crawl. It seems to be freezing left, right, and sideways. Sometimes it comes out of the freeze, sometimes it just stuck in unresponsive mode.
 
Where do I report the issues?

No doubt about it: this release is driving the 8 threads all crazy. They all are peaking quickly and randomly. (I'm glad that I can view this in the thread monitor).
 
Weird.
 
Now, as I just looked, they seem to have calmed down quite a bit. How odd.

Don't know what to say, but I'll grab the latest release. Have been using the RC with only one computer so far.

Thanks, Craig. I appreciate any help you can give.
 
The reduction to a crawl/freezing does seem worse when opening works that were started in older versions. There is an issue as well with trying to double-click to open soft synths from synth rack. So far, this freezes Sonar 100% of the time and I have to shut down and restart. Loading soft synths  takes a really long time when opening older tunes.
 
The main concern with new works is the weird spread across the 8 threads until it settles down (a few moments). I'm not sure that this slows down the computer yet (though it may). I can open soft synths in new tunes just fine. 

 
Will WASAPI support multiple Audio Card?

I believe it supports whatever chipset your computer uses (Realtek, IDT, Intel, etc.).

This kind of sounds like WASAPI supports only onboard chipsets (right?). Does WASAPI support interfaces that reside outside the computer (like the RME BabyFace)? Does the connection type play a significant part?
 
Thanks for all you do!

e-zine today?

Here ya go

Outstanding release, and e-zine. What a great resource this is. Craig I know it seems like your efforts are taken for granted, but I just wanted to say how excellent the e-zine is as an accompaniment to each monthly release. Especially valuable with a release with as much "stuff" as this one. Thanks Craig! Thanks Bakers!

you are not alone, a relatively small project which worked/played prior to latest update without issue, now stutters and jerks, and has been visited by the rice bubble brothers, snap, crackle and pop . . . big time. do more testing with a fresh project, but doesn't look good atm. was just about to look seriously about coming back to sonar, but now i don't know, this is what i hate about the constant updates, you just never know whats going to be broken next month, and yes i know you don't have to update, but of course in the end you do bummer
 
[edit] sorry to say you are on your own again it seems as mysteriously as it turned up, it has gone, (only thing i done was the magical reboot) everything is working just as it was prior so far, and will hopefully continue as such. i like a few things in this new release

i edited my post above before or while you were typing

I posted some more information here.
WASAPI will work with any device that shows up and works in WINDOWS itself. I've tried it on several pro audio interfaces as well such as an RME UFX and a MOTU. With pro audio devices you may also need to set the device latency independently in the driver control panel. Until I did that I didn't get low latency.

Hi Noel,
 
Thanks for the note. When you say that one needs to set device latency independently, what exactly is one looking for? Setting the latency in the driver panel is easy enough, but are you saying that we are matching the expected latency of the WASAPI driver or...?
