yes I did, but at the moment, I can't remember what that was. Not trying to be funny, I just can't remember ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kevin L. Gibbs" <kevjazz@xxxxxxx>

Did you do what I suggested in the message that preceeded yours?   If you
did, what happened?
I don't have any other ideas.  This might be one for Gord or someone
else.

Hi Kevin,

It seems there's something  screwed up with sonar or CT settings.  CT was
coming up and telling me the control surface was ready, but none of the hot keys were working. So, I tried going into the buss pane just for laughs to see what would happen. Well, Shift+mid section down arrow caused CT to say "Track pane" (should have said buss pane if anything), and then the hotkeys
started working as expected(more or less).  At that point I could see that
the buss pane popped up on the screen.

Problem is, I'm on the master buss, but CT is acting like its in the track
pane.  With a Shift+mid section up arrow, CT says you're already in the
track pane, but the buss pane doesn't close, and CT remains in the buss
pane. Doing a "say line" (insert+numpad 8) reads and reports audio track 1
in the track pane, but moving with right or left arrows navigates through
the fields of the master buss.

I'm trying to explain this as best I can, but its confusing.  As I move up
and down from buss to buss (aux 1 aux 2 etc) CT reports mixed information
from the buss & track panes.  That is, as I press up and down arrows, CT
says Aux 1, Midi track not recorded.  Get it?  its saying I'm landing on a
buss, and telling me the status of a track in the track pane. Or, it thinks

its landing on a track and giving me that tracks status, but giving me the
busses name.  Screwy huh?  Additionally, As I right and left arrow, CT is
reading and reporting the status of the Buss fields.

So, I'm definitely in the buss pane, but CT is confusing track pane info
with the buss pane.  I can open the inspector, but there too CT says Audio
track 1 named Master(audio track 1 is the name of the first track in the
track pane) and obviously, Master is the buss name that I'm actually on. I
cannot get into the track pane, as CT thinks its already there.

With my limited sight I can see that the buss pane is open and cannot be
closed with the CT hotkey (shift+mid section up arrow).

Please Help if you have any insights.  Would a re-install of CT be
appropriate?  I don't want to try to solve the problem with a drastic
measure like re-installing CT before I understand its symptoms if you know
what I mean.

Change your FA66 back to 48K and see if CT comes back up.  If it does,
change your sample rate in Sonar to 44.1 BEFORE changing the FA66 back
to 44.1 and see if you then still have Sonar and CT working. K.

did you try ctrl f12?
can you open the inspector?
and are you sure your track view is not minimized?
did you try opening different projects?

I have a problem wherein cake talking scripts are loaded (as reported
by pressing insert+Q), but none of its functions work.  I.?E., refresh
with F6, the skip to track/field hotkeys etc.

Everything was fine until I did the following:

Wanting to see the difference in sound quality with higher sampling
rates, I switched my FA-66 sample rate to 48khz from 44.1khz, Cycled
the power as

suggested by edirol for the new rate to take effect, and started up
sonar.

I checked audio options in sonar and it recognized and listed the new
sample rate on the general page of audio options(I'm using ASIO
driver mode, so I didn't have to do any wave profiling etc) .  I
recorded a track, played it back to see how much better 48khz would
sound compared to

44.1khz and what I heard was total chaos--like clipping on steroids.

So, I tried backing off the gain on the mic and re-recorded--same
result. Figuring it was something to do with the new sample rate, I
closed sonar, reset the fa66 to 44.1khz, and started sonar again.

That's where the trouble began.  I tried refreshing the screen with
f6 and nothing.  I tried moving to a column with the shift numpad
keys, and got a

message of "no hot key".  I rebooted the system figuring I really
fried something in the OS, but upon reboot, the same problem
persists.

So now, although cakeTalking is loading with sonar, its not
functioning--as though it wasn't loaded.

I won't worry about the sampling rate problem right now, I'd just
like to get CakeTalking back again.  Any help or suggestions?
