Our Cakewalk minisite link over at DigiFreq should also be on this list...

Still working on getting the reviews and videos sections up, but that will be done soon.

Best,

I searched hi and low for information regarding Waves plug-ins .. and wound up calling tech-support.

So, here goes:

Problem: Waves V6 Plug-in GUI controls are not visible in Sonar 8

Description
If you use Waves Version 6 plugins, the GUI controls for the
plug-ins will not be visible if the X-Ray option is enabled.
While the plug-ins are functional, the Fx dialog will be blank.

Solution:
To disable the X-ray option, go to the Options Menu, choose Global...
Then, in the "General" tab (at the bottom of the dialog), uncheck
the "Enable X-Ray" option.

Close and re-open and Waves Fx dialogs you may have open. The GUI should
now appear.

Rather than disabling the entire X-ray option, it might be better to just disable it for Waves.  To do this, just add the 3 lines below to your XRayExclude.ini file.  (E.g. Mine is located at C:\Documents and Settings\Tom\Application Data\Cakewalk\SONAR 8 Producer Edition\XRayExclude.ini)


   [EffectProps View]
   ;Exclude all Waves plugins, due to incompatibilities
   XRayVendorExclude1=Waves


I believe this was the default way that XRayExclude.ini gets installed, so perhaps you somehow lost your settings, or that whole file?

I've noticed that the links are fixed, now, since the change to the new forum software left the main links broken/outdated.
 
Great work Cakewalk.

This is a really helpful thread. It would be increasingly beneficial if it could be kept updated (with other useful user additions) from time to time.

We need a Vista issues forum. Really. Like, seriously.

Hello Brandon,
    just wanted to give you a bump and ask your advise. I am currently using Sonar 6 and would like to upgrade to 8.5. I was considering a Dell desktop Intel core 7. Any suggestions on a model? Or do you recommend a different computer all together. Thankyou for your time.

Under Sonar Resources - YouTube seems to be down, or at least the Sonar channel isn't working.

I am getting the following when trying to access the video archive:

404 - File or directory not found.

Thanks (not for the 404 but for resolving when you get a chance)!

Is the Sonar wiki and the Sonar video archive no longer maintained? I'm getting a 404 error on both of those links.

The SONAR Wiki worked for me just now:
