Hi Bill and all
Just confirming that the fix you recommended worked. Thanks for that.

Hi Richard,
As you may have heard, Dancing Dots no logner sells or supports CakeTalking.
But from what you have described, my thought is that it would not hurt to run a
couple diagnostic scripts that David Pinto included. These may only be
available in version 8.8 of CakeTalking. I don't remember. If you do not have
version 8.8, best thing to do to reset your tool bars is just to reinstall
CakeTalking.
Again, we no longer offer free support for CakeTalking but I recommend that you
read the following carefully. I hope it will help you. Also, bear in mind
that CakeTalking will not work reliably on any version of Windows after
Windows7.
...
CakeTalking 8.8 Utilities for SONAR 8.5
Reminder: CakeTalking 8.8 only works properly under Windows7 or earlier with
JAWS 16 or earlier. Although it may appear to install properly under more
recent versions of Windows and JAWS, it will not run reliably and Dancing Dots
will not provide technical support in such cases.
To reset SONAR's ToolBar settings to the proper values for CakeTalking 8.8 and
to confirm that your Windows settings are correct, take the following actions:
Close all programs.
From the CakeTalking entry on the Start Menu, run the following two utilities
from the CakeTalking 8.8
submenu
ResetSONARToolbars
CheckWindowsSettings
If necessary, refer to the CakeTalking settings document for your version of
Windows found in CakeTalking's Setup folder. It contains detailed instructions
on how to configure Windows to work optimally with CakeTalking. You should find
a shortcut to that folder on the submenu of the CakeTalking 8.8 entry on the
Windows Start Menu. The name of these documents begins with "1Settings".
Next, run SONAR 8.5 and see if performance of CakeTalking improves.

Hi all
Thanks for the feedback on my issue with the Shift R to change recording mode
problem.
If I use the transport menu and change the recording mode it works perfectly.
However, when I use the recommended keystroke shift plus R the four recording
mode options are listed. When I press enter on the mode I want it makes the
confirmation sound, and Jaws speaks the mode I chose. What happens next is a
bit strange. The focus jumps to a different track and opens the edit box on
that track to rename it. When I escape from the edit box go to the track I was
originally on and start recording the mode has not changed to the one I have
chosen.
Is it possible that the keystroke has corrupted in some way? If so is there a
way to reset jaws with the relevant scripts?
I am trying to understand why something that worked perfectly is not working
now.

I don't know if it matters, but is the MIDI track output going to a soft synth
or an external keyboard? I seem to remember inserting a soft synth and not
using the Simple Instrument Track option where MIDI and audio are combined. If
you choose to have a MIDI track and a separate audio track, I recall having an
overwrite issue when I was on an audio track receiving input from a soft synth.
If that sounds crazy, I am a little but do recall having an issue like this
many moons ago!
Hope that helps or at least elicits a chuckle or two during this stressful time.

HI everyone
Need a bit of help.
When recording a new project on Sonar my problem is I can't get sonar to change
from sound on sound mode to overwrite mode. Below is the steps I am doing.
I do the following:
1 After opening Sonar I press alt F
2 Arrow down to choose New
3 enter the name of the project in the edit box available
4 tab a few times to find the template listbox and arrow down until I find the
template I want to use normally AAA16 TTS1
Everything goes according to plan up to this point.
5 Try to overwrite a midi track but it is on sound on sound mode
6 I press shift and the letter R and I choose overwrite mode
7 It will not overwrite.
8 instead it moves the focus to the midi track directly below and opens the
edit box for naming the track. When I press the letter R to record it prints
the letter in the now open edit box of that track.
Any thoughts on why it won't change from sound on sound mode to overwrite mode
and jumps to the below track?
Thanks
Richard
