Hey guys. Thanks for your help on my last question. It seems that some of the settings on my copy of Sonar do not work. For instance, when I try to use the compressor, no matter what settings I put in, the audio does not change. The only thing that affects the audio when I use the compressor is if I turn up the gain on the compressor. I also have Cakewalk Home Studio 2002 on my computer, and all of it's controls seem to be working fine. I was trying to save my project in Sonar and work on it in HomeStudio instead, but when I tried to open it in HomeStudio, it says it's not a cakewalk format. I've saved it in .cwp and .bun format, but it still doesn't work. Does anyone have any suggestions for a solution to this problem, or suggestions as to why the controls in Sonar don't work or what I can do to them to make them work properly (perhaps they work different than Home Studio's, I don't really know). Thanks in advance for everything!!

That is strange... any plugin works in HS2002 should work in Sonar. BTW, you can't open Sonar's saved project in HS, nor previous Sonar product. IOW, it's not backward compatible. Umh, and you must mean .cwb instead of .bun. Sonar doesn't save as .bun anymore (but it can open .bun).

Yeah that's what I was thinking about the compressor. I couldn't understand why it would work in HS2002 and not in SONAR, but that's how it is as far as I can tell. You are right about the .cwp thing. I guess I didn't really look, I assumed that since it said bundle file it was .bun like in HS2002. The "not backward compatible" thing explains a lot. I was under the impression that as long as it was done in a cakewalk program, that you could work on it in any other cakewalk program. Live and learn I guess. Thanks a lot for your help!,

I believe it has something to do with the program's architecture. I mean, for example, new Sonar implemented new bus routing scheme, which it's setting is saved as an addition information on the saved bundle. The addition data cannot be understood by HS2002. This could be one of the reason (among other things) why it's not backward compatible with Cakewalk's previous line up.

Sonar 3 is good, but looks like particular people has their own problem running it first time before it went smooth. I remember I've never had such problem with CWPA 9.03, and Sonar 2.2XL I had. Not that it's a crap, but sometime when there's a problem, it needs different approach to solve. I'm not software engineer, so I'm not sure technicaly what to do. Most of the time, when everything failed, I just un-install and reinstall it. That works like magic... most of the time at least... :)
