Thanks for the explanation Danny,I certainly have to look into how MIDI works more thoroughly,so I can work out problems,as they will no doubt erupt when I least expect it!

You shouldn't have to worry about that though if you don't use any expression control or anything that would require some sort of continuous control. You'll get it with velocity changes etc, but for the most part, you shouldn't see any problems with this sort of thing unless you're getting into midi automation or manually drawing things into your midi tracks using even list etc.
 
It's always good to know about midi, but if you're not using it to that extent, you will probably never run into any problems where the cc's could be an issue for you. :)

Just for the record, Simple Instrument Tracks do not work at all for me.

If Cakewalk ever does away with the old folder and seperate audio midi track for soft synths I'm screwed.

Kev, do you see this with X2? It's fine for me in X2...but in X1, it seems to be broken and I have to use the old way...one midi track, one audio track with the synth inserted in the audio effects bin.

Hi Danny,
Yep I'm using X2. I didn't use Sonar X1 because I jumped from Sonar 8.5.3 to Sonar X2.  I got in on the upgrade offer of getting Sonar X2 for free.
 
I never did use Sonar X1 even though it's installed.  Sonar X2 has been very stable other than a few annoyances I am able to get my work done mostly without having to think about the DAW.  I really like X2.  Just hope they get the buggies worked out.
 
I gave instrument tracks a try because I *thought* it would tidy up the TV since that is where I spend 99% of my time and quickly dumped the idea because I could not get them to put out sound even when trying to play a synth.  I fiddled with them trying this that and the other thing and could not get them to work so I finally dumped the idea of using them.
 
It was really annoying because everything was routed to where it was supposed to go and nothin...
 
No big deal since I've worked with the separate audio midi track since Sonar 2XL.
 
Like I said I hope CW doesn't take the old way away...
 
Btw, Noel hinted that the first update was going to be a big one with some new and/or improved features...
 
I would be super de duperly happy if they just get the current ones working.
 

So Bapu DOES control space and time...this changes everything!
