Hi,
 
I decided to make this as a topic. Several topics about this software, but not directly towards this issue. First of all, I know that Cakewalk Sonar is not yet officially supported by this plugin. I have tried it now for 2 days & works fluently for me. The only thing & main thing for me to test out is the "Track Assistant" feature. I just can not get it to work. It just spins, and not generating any custome preset starting points. The graph is active while it`s spinning, but that is it. It says "wait for 4-10 seconds".
 
This is for sure a thing for Izotope support and I have sent them a support ticket today.
 
But if there are anyone here (I know here are a few at least), that got it too work, then it would be nice what you did? I would not have written this issue here, if I haven`t read an earlier thread, that some people got the track assistant working. I just can not figure out how. Frustrating since the demo is only 10 days & I am already on day 3 & I guess there will be no answere from Izotope support before earliest monday.
 
Any help or leads appreciated.

works fine for me
i just start the track/song playing, and with the instance of neuron open on the track you wish to work with hit the track assistant button, that's it, it does its thing and bob's your uncle.

some dude up top in the sonar forum says that he can only get it working by first hitting the track assistant button then hitting play, whatever works i guess. i just followed the instructions and it works fine. are you using the vst3 version or vst2? they also say upstairs that the vst2 version could be problematic, i have only run the vst3 version.

Hi there & thanks for answering. I tried every method now for 2 days, but it just won`t work. I use it on audio tracks & every other thing works fluently, but not the track assistant. So, the most important thing for me to test out is not working & I am sure the most helpful feature as a starting preset for every track.
 
I have 10 days to figure this out, so wish me luck 
 
Edit: I am using vst3
 
Edit II: The strange thing is that the visual graph for the track is running & of course it is recognizing the audio, but just spinning, spinning & more spinning...

Sorry I can't help, but to me it works using the vst3 version on the last version on Sonar Artist. Sidechain don't work.
 
Have you tried reinstalling Neutron.
 
By the way don't expect too much from iZotope support. They will not assist you on issues with unsupported DAWs.

I know. I have Sonar Premium & tried everything now. I give up. Using it for the remaining 7 days of the demo and that`s it. I just can`t figure it out & need to stop trying and forget about this plugin, before I ruin my whole weekend 
 
I tried to re-install it several times, installing only the vst3 & becides that every possible solution I could come up with for the last 2 days.
 
I even tried to re-install Sonar today. But I doubt I have messed up the settings so much, that it should affect a vs3 plugin. Never happened to me before. All my plugins works super good, becides this one. Too bad, since I really liked the idea of this Neutron.

keep your eye on it, maybe something will turn up, it's a pretty good plugin, i am liking it a lot.
 
there was a new update to sonar released today (not that it has anything to do with this, but . . . ) install that and give it another shot, you never know, stranger things have happened

I have not used this plugin much yet, but did confirm last night that the transport must be running to feed audio into the "Track Assistant" algorithm. Have you tried both the VST2/VST3 versions with the transport running? If so, you may want to also try a simple re-install of Neutron, since you may simply be dealing with a bad installation. I have had bad installs before and you can troubleshoot till the cows come home and never gain any ground.
 
FWIW, some plugins do absolutely nothing with the transport stopped because they rely on the audio buffer from the transport to feed it. Conversely, some plugins pass audio with the transport stopped (e.g., iZotope Vinyl), which can also throw folks for a loop. Ironically, all of the plugins I associate with either are iZotope's.
 
Edit: Please see post below, there is actually a bug in the Neutron Advanced version included with the Music Production 2 bundle.

I think I may have found your issue. After having run Neutron Advanced in trial mode without any issues as all, I purchased the Music Production Bundle 2, and after that installation, the Track Assistant displayed exactly what the OP depicts (it doesn't work, period).
 
The solution for me was to re-install the Neutron Advanced version (can download that from the "Try" link here). I simply installed that version (name is "iZotope_Neutron_Advanced_v1_00.exe") over top of the existing installation, and reopened SONAR. After that, the Track Assistant worked again.
 
It appears that the Neutron Advanced version baked into the Music Production Bundle 2 has a bug in it.
 
Quick Edit: I also just submitted a bug report to iZotope directly and linked this post for them.
 

well there you go, although i upgraded to mpb2, i installed from the individual installer, the only things i didn't already have from mpb2 was neutron and the rx plugin pack, so i just installed from the individual installers
