CWBRN-1710: Arpeggiator plays 1/32 root key
Status: Fixed, This issue has been fixed and will be available in the next SONAR update.

As reported by Jonny5078 - EZDrummer is back to taking forever to load on my machine too
This was patched in 7, then showed up again in 8, was patched and (as far as I can see) is back again
With all the noise the 64 bit guys have been making about Toontrack I'm sure Cakewalk & them are working a little better together as I write this, but would like to know if it's just me (and johnny5078). I wonder if the fix just keeps getting left out of the next build?

Also - 8.5 installation kills Guitar Rig 3 (again). I installed on my desktop - got to the question do I want to install Guitar Rig 3. Remembering the fiasco of installing 8 with GR3LE I clicked cancel.
The result was - it removed Guitar Rig 3 and I had to reinstall
I then put 8.5 on my laptop. This time I didn't cancel out and the result was I had to re-authorize

As I have done some programming in my past I know it's not real difficult to add a yes/no loop. Now that the Bakers are pushing GR4 (which I have purchased independently) I'd like to be able to NOT have it clobbered when I install 9

@ Noiseboy,

I'm not sure about the "stability bug with the audio metronome when working on projects with many time / sig / tempo changes", but the PRV selection bug has been fix for the next update.  For more information on the bugs that have so far been officially reported as fixed, see the OP of this thread.


@ Brammer,

EZDrummer is known to load samples slowly into RAM when working on sample rates above 44.1KHz.

This is not a Sonar bug, but rather something that happens because EZ has to convert the samples while loading them into RAM.  That's what makes them load slower.

Also, your Dimension Pro problems are related to UAC (User Account Control) in Vista and Windows 7.  You can either turn UAC OFF or run Sonar as an administrator by right-clicking the Sonar icon and selecting "Run as administrator".  Alternatively, you can right-click the Sonar icon and go to "Properties".  Under the "Compatibility" Tab, put a check mark on "Run this program as an administrator" and click "OK".  This way you can keep UAC ON and run sonar in admin mode without having to right-click it everytime.  Some plugins will require Sonar to be run in admin mode, so this is not limited to Dimension Pro.


HTH

Forgot to check - worth putting the video bug in I linked in my earlier post too?  In the thread a Cakewalk rep said it is fixed in the next update.

Good work on putting all this together, btw!

Done, and thanks :-)

Thanks again Jose

I've posted to Tech Support on this , and put in a feature request regarding their "crashing" existing plugin installs

I'm sure there will be a resolution soon

Blades,

I'm not sure if it's an x64 issue or not.  All I know is that even Cakewalk recommends running Sonar as an administrator if UAC is enabled.  I personally have UAC disabled because I've never had any issues when I go online on my DAW computer.  So having UAC running is not important to me.  Good to know that you can run it without issues though, for those who do want to use UAC.

Take care!

New bug found and reported

The CHord symbols bounce to clip bug:

http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.aspx?m=1861809

Create a new project and insert TTS as your synth. Add one (or many more) midi tracks.

Set the output of the midi track to TTS.

Set the channel number on the midi track to Ch 1 - This is the important step, as the bug does not happen with the channel set to 0!!

Enter chord symbols to your liking in the staff view.

Go to the track view and select the track clips

Right-click and choose bounce to clips

Open staff view and check if your chord symbols are still there. Well, they would be gone on my computer!

Cut-Snap-BUG! CWBRN-20XX

It isn't a bug!

Its “Snap to zero crossings” that has start working with split-tool, after I installed 8.5.1 x64bit. It has never worked before until now!



That's one example what a complete new “clean sweep” 8.5 DVD installation fix!

I have seen at least one other post of this problem, it seems to be rare but occasionally I will open a project that was created in sonar 8.5.1 and it will tell me the project file is was either created in an older version of sonar or the file is corrupt, and that I can open it in safe mode and try to recover it, this happens when I open it in 64bit version Vista x64.
I have rebooted into XP32 and the file opens and plays without any problems, as I said it seems to happen randomly.
AUC disabled signed on as administrator. also having trouble with SampleTank 2.5.3, only in 64bit version of sonar.

Thanks for reporting this Brundlefly.

By the way, I couldn't find confirmation of the Ghosting PRV bug.  Do you know if there's a thread with this info somewhere?  Maybe I missed it.

Thanks again!

I am probably mistaken about the resolution of the selection ghosting problem. Thought I remembered that being one of the fixed issues, but wasn't sure.

 
Well, you're not alone.  I thought it was fixed too.  I probably forgot to log it in here or something.
 
I'll try doing a search later.
 
 

This is a bug from 8.3 (which is the latest I have).  I am still trying to figure out if it has been fixed in 8.5 before I actually update since it's the only real thing that is causing me productivity issues.

It involves the remote control assignments in the synth rack not saving.  See here: http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.aspx?m=1868049

Maybe I'm being an idiot or hardware control of synth parametres is surprisingly unique amongst the Sonar crowd? idk?  Do most people use the synths in this manner?  Heck, even for easy 'one-time' setup of remote control of effects too!  This workaround is far superior to any of the semi-function ACT system or in-synth midi learn stuff (which only exists for relatively few synths).  It should technically only require setup once, which can be brought up pre-configed when the template is opened.

If someone who this affects could test it in their 8.5 install (see link above), I would be greatly appreciative...  If it hasn't been fixed, should another bug report be filed?  I already filed one from my 8.3 installation...  It is:

CWBRN-1645, Remote control assignments will not save


Thanks,
Phil

I cannot get ACT to work well for me.  I do not get full control, or get to use all of the knobs on my BCR2000 or other controllers.  You're also stuck with some default, fixed, pre-mapped matrix to which you rely on someone else providing a preset.  Mapping them in the synth rack works without bugs (except for the save thing here) for any synth and should be a one-time deal which I don't mind one bit.  ACT is a really great idea, but if you 'hide' the process from people, it better damn well be intuitive and above all, work!  I will play with it some more; seems I'm stuck with finding a workaround anyway.

Thanks!
Phil
