Get Started

Excellent idea Brandon, knowledge is power =)

Make that (at least) two positive votes! Great idea to focus getting started threads in their own subforum, as those sometimes get lost in the shuffle. Now you'll just have to figure out how to keep all of the "I'm new to SONAR, and I want to know when you'll have a Mac version" and "I'm new to SONAR and I want to know when you'll be implementing VST3 support" threads out of the high visibility Getting Started subforum.

Hi guys!

I'm a newcomer at this site and I need some help from you people regarding SONAR 3. I use this program as an amateur since quiet a time, however I recently experienced some incident that I really need some help with.

First of all I realized that my recently the tracks - which I recorded earlier on my computer - aren't in the same time anymore. I realized it first when I sent some of my ".cwp" files to a friend who has  exactly the same SONAR and still it's out of time. Like it would have been slided or something... Then the same things happened with me on my computer, too.

Now, I thought it could have happened because I changed my computer but it's just doesn't add up logically. I made some records which are perfectly in time since ever (and I made them a long time ago). They are fine on my computer but at my friend it's out of time.

Then there are some new records which were in time on my old computer but not anymore on my new... How is it possible? What do I do wrong???

The other thing I don't get is with MIDI. I recently started type melodies in MIDI through staff view and from time to time it happens that it some of the notes are either not sound at all or sound totally differently and strange. I tried everything with those single notes (delete, re-write, copy, modify... etc.) without any success. What could it be???

Could anybody help me with these things please?

cool I can post now. I am going to try th evideo as I bought HS7 and Toontrack EZ drummer and some other stuff and I cannot get anything to work.

Hello,
 
I am definitely a newbie here.  I just bought the sonar le/ ua-25 ex bundle and have hooked it up to my computer. I am running pc with xp. 
 
I did the sample and apparently have it set up correctly.  But beyond that, I don't even know where to begin.  I guess to start, I have hooked my guitar into the front port and tried playing it. But I have no idea how to record or anything.
 
Was a set of instructions supposed to be part of the bundle?  I don't know where to begin except that it would be helpful if I had some advice - step by step - on how to start a recording?
 
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
 
Thank you.
 
Jim

wrong place ----
this is not the place to ask that question
see where it says        "post new thread"?

but you need to do the tutorials and you will have it all laid out for you 
just follow the steps
 

Cool... Where can I post my questions?

why wont it let me post a new thread!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i got soo many questions!!

SONAR is digital audio workstation software. It runs on an operating system such as Windows 7. I'm afraid I don't understand the rest of your question.

Newbie I am. I'll post this question here, too. If I load a MIDI file into Sonar, how do I assign various Sonar instruments to the individual tracks? There must be an simple way to do that.

insert the synth you want to use..then import the midi through file/import/midi..send it to the track and whala..check your routing

my conexant hd audio on Hp laptop cannot be found by Sonar 7 as a WDM device. BUT other applications  e.g. Synthfont, list all it's components as WDM in the asio4all panel.
Why can't Sonar use the conexant except as MME devices???

hi my friend bought me cakewalk music creator for my birthday so that i can record myself sing and playing guitar but i know nothing about computers and im having trouble. i figured out how to record my voice and listen to what i recorded, but whenever i record my guitar, it records and when i hit play there is no sound (cant hear the guitar). help?

I posted in the Pyrco software forum as well - but I am frustrated with a recording I've already made. I have an hour and 34 minute recording but I can only accress about 1 and half minutes of it. when I first open the recording the time keeper on the right hand side of the screen shows that there is 1 hour plus of audio but the the green box on the bottom will only allow me to play 1 minute of it.... Can someone please help? I'm going to be in BIG trouble if I can't access the rest of that audio.

It's actually the full version that I downloaded from Cakewalk last week.

Hi Everyone,
I'm a noob to Sonar. To make a long story short, I bought Sonar 8.5 Studio a year ago, but I couldn't get it to run on my laptop. With the help of a friend, I just got it running last week. I was pretty overwhelmed by the interface. But now It started making sense.

This morning I was working on a song and I clicked something by accident. The default view changed. The left payne that is normally open when you work on a track is gone. How can I get the default view back?

Many thanks in advance for you help and replies!
