Following are some installation notes.


Upgraded to Sonar Platinum a couple of days ago 4/4/2015


Purchased Sonar X3 Producer 12/27/2014


Purchased upgrade Sonar X2 Producer. Seems like not too long afterward, they published X3. Sticking with X2 for now.

Purchased Platinum drum kit Rock Legends Kit 1

Appears to be installed at:

c:\Program Files\Cakewalk\Vstplugins\Session Drummer 3\Contents\Programs\Acoustic\Platinum Samples Legends Kit 1.prog

How to silence tracks so that they stay there but don't do anything (like to back up something): Click the “A” for “Archive” button. This keeps it from doing anything, and also improves PC performance.

Had some drop outs when playing back Classical Blaze near the end when using the Behringer Mixer/output device. Fixed problem (apparently) by changing the priority in Preferences→Driver Settings→ASIO Panel→ASIO tab→ Application Priority from normal to above normal.

Troubleshooting

Latency

When connecting a keyboard through Sonar to Garritan piano using ARIA VST plugin, was experiencing a lot of latency. Tried adjust sound settings, even changing out the sound module. Solution was to remove one of the unused VST synth instances which was an ARIA VST plugin. Fixed problem immediately. Perhaps there is a practical limit to the number of ARIA VSTs in a project. 5/29/2017
