Well that's too bad that you're having these experiences. I've been using
Sonar and CakeTalking since somewhere around the middle of 2009, and I've
never turned back. That was literally an elevation from being a half-ass in
the business to at least a 99% efficient producer/composer/whatever. There's
no way in hell I could hire somebody to do what I need done, even if I had
the funds to pay an assistant a hansom wage to keep him or her there.
Besides, isn't it far better to be as independent and as self-sufficient as
possible?
Believe me, the CakeTalking tutorial is pretty damn good. Yes, this system
isn't perfect; but then, there isn't anything perfect this side of heaven
anyway. I'd have to say that his is probably the first real negative and
almost trashing I've read here of the work that Bill and the fine folks at
Dancing Dots along with David Pinto have done. There's obviously something
that's not set right on the machine that's effecting the performance of the
CakeTalking scripts. Before you head off the deep end, I think you need to
have somebody take a peak at the system to see what's going on. If you're
trying to run this stuff on Windows 8 or 10, you're already in the muck.
When I run the utilities in CakeTalking to fix things if I have a problem,
it "usually" takes care of it. I say "usually" because you might possibly
run into that rare occurrence where it doesn't fix it; then you have to
start doing some tracing to see what else could be going on. At that point,
for me, sometimes a little sighted help is needed; but it's not often.
That's a pretty damn good track record in my book.
That's my story; and I'm stickin' to it.
Mike

doesn't work...
Wow! There is someone out there in my situation. I have many of the issues
you said irratic jumping of selecting track parts, very unstable stuff.
Definitely unstable. I worked better with a DAWS controller from Roland
without speech than this stuff. I cannot duplicate part of tracks. A
couple times when it did do it it would put the copies wherever it seemed
to feel like it. Now after 4 months of Caketalk Cakewalk says they don't
support my version of Sonar. This is shady at best. I need support and
cannot find it. I may go back to my old way with sighted assistance. I can
hire someone to help eliminate the frustration. This Cakewalk is no
cakewalk for me from day one. It doesn't even do what the tutorial tells
you it does. How do you get in this racket of making money without
supporting those you sell to? I may just scrap the whole thing and start
over. Someday there will be enough blind people out there who are tired of
being ripped off who just might stand up for themselves. Deric
