There are No big fish showing up for me either?? Does anyone have a solution for this .. I tried refreshing/ log out in ccc but nothing..  I am using the 17/10 update. 
 
Thx!




Still not showing up for me either.  I happen to have an NFR copy of Sonar.  So that could be the issue for me, even though it's never been a problem in the past. Still haven't found a solution though.

The Big Fish content gets downloaded to the Audio folder defined in "P" into a folder called "Big Fish"

Ok so now when opening up a new project from a template, it doesn´t ask anymore for song info (title, BPM etc)
That was actually really handy. Any idea if this can be turned on again somewhere? Didn´t see it in preferences....

Agree with the problem of noise on all synth tracks that get´s triggered sometimes from one midi track that´s not routed to those synth tracks. I must have lost a couple of dB´s in my hearing after a couple of those moments... 
 
Also, sometimes all midi tracks just deciding to route somewhere completely different out of nowhere. Not funny in a 500 track orchestral template..... 
 
Besides that I must say SONAR has been running very very stable for the last year. Can´t even remember when I had my last crash!
 
Keep up the good work!

Yeah, I'd like to have this back as an option too.

Actually, I just found out that if you open a new project via File -> New...  it does gives you those options, besides the option to select a template!

Just read about that. It seems so. Sad times....

I had a product in the early 90's when the company I worked for went out of business. I continued to support my users for another year, although in those days there was no convenient mechanism for distributing updates, so users had to ask for them and get the files via email. But I was able to end it with a stable release that could still be running today somewhere.
 
This worked because I had the source, and it didn't occur to the corporate buffoons (who'd run the company into the ground) that the source code might be an asset (unlike my Sun workstation, which I'd hoped they'd forget about but didn't). Consequently, nobody gave me any flack about it.
 
Cakewalk's source code is its most valuable asset, more so than even the Cakewalk trademarks. Gibson will hold a garage sale to recover whatever they can for computers and office furniture, but it's the source that has real cash value. It could be sold along with the company name and trademarks, it could be sold to a competitor for parts, or individual products could be sold to other vendors. (Dimension Pro by MOTU? Microsoft Rapture?)
 
Here's my hope: that Gibson is so anxious to unload its software business that it dumps the SONAR source for a song, that it then gets adopted by ex-Cakewalk staff who continue to work on it. This is actually do-able by scaling down the operation. A single person or a two-man collaboration could manage it, and earn a decent living doing it.
 
Here's the more likely scenario: Noel would do better personally by taking a job in Redmond. Give me a ring when you get to town, Noel.

bitflipper, I agree about the source being where the value is. Gibson should let the transition team crowdsource this thing...If nothing else...jump into boutique crowdsource SPLAT with a small dev team. I'm sure users would fund this in a matter of days.
