I get in accurate info from caketalking 8 more often than I did with seven. Tells me I'm on an instrument track even when I haven't truned any soft synths in to instrument tracks. Thinks sometimes that my audio tracks are instrument tracks most often, but will also confuse the midi from time to time. Usually once with the up and down arrow straightens it out temporarily. I've had to close and reopen to get sonar 8 to skip to the correct columns, even after f6 a couple times, it says sorry, try again. I tried turning the board on and off to get the sonar to fully close after I go to the task manager and try to end task. This didn't work for me. Maybe it's cause my midi is the FW18-84. I know that's more aof a sonar bug than a caketalking problem. I also still have the issue about one out of every 10 times, jaws will say it needs activation. I restart the computer, and it seems to be ok, doesn't ask to be activated, but I wonder what that's all about. I know some others with the FW have had this trouble, but when I asked for an international licence they acted like that was a major problem. They wanta sell me a dongle. Maybe I need to insist on the licence?
