Touch screen in sonar x series UPDATED

 
update again... installed win 8.1 and it works.. but selecting a track when you touch it like clicking on it wont work.. all the rest works great!!!
 
UPDATE:
After going through the settings in the control panel I found a setting that said Turn on single finger panning. I unchecked that and now the faders move and all but they dont follow my finger. They go fast from top to bottom.. But when its unchecked the scrollling up and down the pro channel doesnt work.. I think i should just move to win 8.1
 
ANy suggestions?

Hello!!
I just got a touch screen to use with sonar x3 and its all nice. But in Sonar the faders in the console view and the pro channel effects dont respond to touch. When I try to move a fader it doesnt work.  All plugins work nice even nice in Dimension pro. But waves plugins dont work in sonar with touch.. Pinch zoom doesnt work either.
So I opened Pro Tools 9 just to try it and in Pro Tools everything works as it should faders, pinch zoom, waves plugins and all the rest work in Pro tools 9.
I am running windows 7 and I know sonar doesnt support multitouch in win 7 but the faders?? And then why does everything work great in pro tools? By the way the faders are very accurate in pro tools with touch. How can Sonar promote x3 touch an bla bla when it dont work but it works in Pro tools 9 that came out in 2009 -2010?
 
Am I dong something wrong?? Or do I need to have win 8 for it to work with Sonar.?? 
Thanks!!

I believe win 8 is required. See a few demo videos from cake where the faders also work. They were preparing sonar for touch since x1 and x2. X3 is great. 
Good luck andenj oy making music! 

Hey thanks for the replies!!
 
Well my system is 
Windows 7 Ultimate, Intel Core i3-3220 CPU 3.30 GHz
RAM 4 GB
32bit operating system
Hp Pavilion Touch Monitor
M-Audio Fast Track C600
 
What happens is when I try to drag a fader or a knob in the console view, sonar ses it as navigating through the project. Even if t shows the fader is selected it doesnt move. I cakewalk plugins and soft synths it works as it should very nice. 
 
The thing is that in pro tools 9 everything works. Even the waves plugins that dont respond in sonar they do in pro tools 9. 
I dont want to update to windows 8 yet that why im asking if anyone knows anything. Maybe it will be the same in win 8?

Can you layer 8.1 over 7 now, or is the bestest way to install it fresh?  Got touch, but would really like pinch and fader control.

If you do have an issue upgrading vs a clean install, Windows 8 has a function called "Refresh" .
Run this function and you will end up clean installation. 

> IMO the whole design of Sonar needs to change so that it has that Metro look and feel..
 
NO! Just No. That is all
 
Ok there's more, more touch friendly maybe (the menus look ancient, so does the UI built around the menus in Sonar), and make it prettier sure, as long as the original functionality isn't given a hike (like the missing windows start button).
 
Metro look though - yuk! If I ever see a mixing desk that looks like Metro, one day I might just vomit all over it (call it track colouring or something).
 
Cheers

Want to know how your car will look after being redesigned for the metro interface?
 

 
I'm told Cakewalk supports gestures but only on the forums ;).
Have a good week :).

 I have a 23" Acer touch screen and I have no problem moving faders,panning ,mute, solo , setting loop points ,selecting screensets....
 Even 3rd party stuff like BFD2. You can preview drum sounds by tapping on the GUI.
 I couldn't see being without a touch screen at this point.
 Every once in a while I'll miss a button or fader but I've had that happen using a mouse also.
 
  

ok so i updated to windows 8.1 and it works!! the faders the knobs and all work. the plugins can be controlled.so.. eventually it needed win 8. i find that the faders and knobs are accurate as much as a mouse. just mentioning cos in some forums i have read that the faders wont be accurate. but they are..  
the only thing i dont like is that when u touch a track in the console view, sonar doesnt select it. if u have the inspector open on the side, touching a track wont follow that track. touching a track wont select it. you can control the parametes faders buttons knobs but it wont select it. bummer... come on.. they are promoting touch and thwy dont have the basics working.. pfffff.... anyone else having the same issue?

You don't want the focus to always go to the track you touch because you can touch ten tracks at once.

I spent last night with my daughter driving zeta 2 with her fingers while I played. Love it.
