And unfortunately Sonar was always above "average" level.

it develops some feel what is acceptable level of bugs and glitches software can have. When using any software - OS itself, file managers, archivators, office suite, compilers, IDE, other DAWS etc. I can confirm that historically Cakewalk/Sonar was always a bit too glitchy comparing with other software. I found a function buried in preferences called "Plug in load balancing" and I activated it (I never had it in the version I had before I updated) and it solved my issue.


I know it's not a computer power issue because I have no problems with any other DAWs and never had before with Sonar. I never had this issue, updated Sonar to the bandlab version and had non-stop glitching and the CPU meters pegging all 12 meters of my 12 core. Is this common with this product?Long time sonar user here and I just went through this. I haven't had glitchy audio playback ever, with any of the DAWs I have used. This makes it completely unusable for me. I wouldn't and couldn't in all good conscience recommend the product to anyone, you would do well to steer clear of it and choose another product. It has a very well deserved bad reputation around the traps, and the main reason is because of it's buggy, flaky, temperamental, crash and dropout prone nature and past, which by the way is still present today. Of course now that Cakewalk/SONAR/CbB is essentially freeware, I'm not sure things are going to get any better, Roland and Gibson were not able to turn Cakewalks fortunes around, what makes anyone think things are going to be any different now? It has been loosing money since pre Roland years, it hasn't been profitable/viable for well over a decade, and with good reason.

I, as I suspect others used it for long enough to know the many many workarounds required to make things work that don't work as described, and long enough to know what buttons not to press to avoid disaster.Īll this is of course carried over to Cakewalk by BandLab, which if you read their forums there are people stuck in demo mode ( demo mode for a free product? lol ), people not being able to install, it hasn't actually been a smooth release. Yes there are people who have, or at least say they have no problems with it, I never really did either, I just found other products that were far superior, far more stable, faster, and without all the annoyances and workarounds needed to make things work as they should that didn't, so I moved on, as by the way have many other long time users after the demise of Cakewalk last November forced their hand to check out the opposition.

All software has it's bugs etc, unfortunately Cakewalk/SONAR has always had MORE than it's fair share of bugs, it's flaky, can be very temperamental and quite unstable, audio engine dropout are all to common and can be brought on at will if you know how to push it's buttons ( nothing exotic by the way) it is also rather crash prone, as shown by the recommendation that is often thrown around to keep one hand on the save short cut, and the advice often given to save often, this is all when compared to various other products available.

Yes, unfortunately it is common, I was a long time Cakewalk/SONAR user, started with Pro Audio 9. This happened in buffer sizes of 256 and 512. Both produced glitchy sounds when more than one note was playing. I fired up the Matrix instrument and the Jupiter 8 instrument. I just want to see how it handles VSTi instruments. I can deal with the rest of the instruments later. The only instruments that show up are the Arturia V-Collection and Sonar. After a half an hour I cancelled the scan. Then, it got stuck on NI Battery (I have Komplete 11). I launched it and it started scanning VST's, but it seemed like it was only scanning VST3 instruments. I downloaded the Cakewalk by Bandlab software and installed it.I'm using it with an Arturia AudioFuse interface on a new HP laptop with 8th gen 4-core I7 processor. Previously I used Digital Performer, Pro Tools and Opcode StudioVision. Currently I use Reaper and have been very happy with it for ten years.
