Hi Richard.
I used the quad capture for a few years and it served me well. However,
I began noticing driver issues - sonar crashing, audio stopped working,
etc. It could have been a hardware issue, but I think it was more of a
software / driver issue.
I recently bought the Steinberg UR242. See the following URL for more
about it. It sounds better to me, and has been rock solid with sonar and
reaper. THe URL is:
https://www.steinberg.net/en/products/audio_interfaces/ur_series/models/ur242.html
Good luck.

ntI don't know much about Samplitude. In terms of plugging in microphones etc
is there a recommended interface. I am using quad capture with Sonar at the
moment.

Hey Richard,
One of the other options to move to is Samplitude for Windows 10.
There are Jaws scripts and apparently a comprehensive tutorial available as
well.
Samplitude often runs huge discounts. In fact, though I haven't had a chance to
do the install yet and move forward, I did get Pro 4 for just $150. Great deal.
I'll be getting a new pc built and new Jaws fairly soon.

Just an update on my editing issue. I worked a bit at it last night.
I managed to edit the track thanks to utilizing some of the advice you
all gave me. So thanks for that.
However, there was one bar on the track which would not let me edit it
in any way. I ended up undoing a previous cut and paste and then
inserting the same copy into a previous bar on the track and this
allowed me to do the necessary edits.
So thanks for the good advice.
Bill I didn't realise what had transpired with Cakewalk and Dancing
Dots etc so thanks for explaining the change in circumstances. Also,
thanks for the suggestions which I will keep for future reference.
Where I totally understand your position in relation to Cakewalk it
is sad really that the new company didn't take the opportunity to
build upon the good work and advances made in making cakewalk
accessible. At the end of the day the visually impaired lose out. I
suppose people like me will continue to use Cakewalk and Caketalk until it
becomes unreliable.
Quite a few people are talking about Reaper now so maybe that is the
future. I don't know enough about the software yet.

Hi Richard,
As you may know, all of the assets of Cakewalk Music Software, the
company, were acquired a couple of years ago by a company called
BandLab. Dancing Dots can no longer supply licenses for SONAR 8.5 as
we had under our special arrangement with Cakewalk. Consequently, we
no longer supply new units or upgrades of CakeTalking and we no longer
offer any kind of free tech support. We are happy to offer general
support through forums like this one but we officially have
discontinued sales and support for both SONAR and CakeTalking for SONAR.
That being said, if any customer is unable to resolve technical
issues, we are available for a paid technical consultation. But first
see what you can do with help from all of the nice people on this list.
Here are some things to try that I would recommend to anyone running
CakeTalking 8.8.
...
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.
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 8.8 has improved.
Note that if you have any earlier version of CakeTalking, your only
option to reset tool bars and other settings back to their default
original values is to reinstall CakeTalking.

Gosh if that system was configured a few years a go I would be amazed
if all of the settings are still intact. You could always check those
as D J X suggested.

Hi DJX
Thanks so much for getting back to me and I am delighted you are
asking loads of questions. My answers are under each question below
if that is ok.
Hello Richard,
1. Are you certain that CT is configured correctly, all toolbars,
screen resolution, windows color scheme etc? Read the setting up
guides in the CT folders in documents if you are not sure.
Answer: I purchased the full set-up from Dancing Dots a few years ago.
They installed all relevant software so I assume the settings are correct.
The system was working properly but I have just noticed this
particular issue recently.
2. Try using f9 and f10 to mark from and through, does that make a
difference? Go to bar 10, press f9 to mark from, then press number 2
on the numbers row to jump 2 bars forward to bar 12 (the beginning of
it) then press f10 to mark the through point. Then press ctrl plus
enter. Does it still highlight the entire track?
Answer: I normally use shift and f9 to insert the bars. I will try
what you are suggesting tonight when I go home.
3. If you are working with MIDI data only, what happens if you just
press the delete key (the one next to the insert and end keys in the
center cluster of keys)?
Answer: I am using a laptop. There are two delete keys but they are
not beside the insert key. One delete key is on the top row of keys,
third in from the right and the other delete key is directly below on
the second row from the top. When I press the delete without selecting nothing
happens.
4. Have you tried selecting things in another project? Does that
work?
Answer: Yes I tried deleting a few bars in another project. It worked
first time but I could not get it to work a second time.
5. Are you sure that you are in the custom CakeTalking tab?
Answer: Yes definitely I am in the custom tab
6. Has your sighted friend messed with items on the screen in Sonar's
windows?
Answer: It is possible that he changed something without realizing it
but he is normally pretty clued into that sort of thing. Is there a
way to reset just in case?
7. Finally, and I should have probably asked this first, what version
of JAWS and Windows are you using?
Answer: I am using Jaws 16 and Windows 7. This hasn't changed from
the original set-up by Dancing Dots. I don't have the computer linked
to the internet to avoid possible updates.
I am going to go back at it tonight.
Thanks again for all your help.
Richard
HTH, DJX

Hi all
Hopefully you can help with this:
I am trying to remove a few bars from the middle of a recording. I
seem to be having a few anomalies.
Here's what I am doing:
1 I am setting the from and through, for example, pressing shift and
f9, typing numbers 10 into in the from tab. Tab once to the through
tab and typing 12. So my from and through is bar 10 to bar 12.
2 pressing control enter to select the track. Jaws reads the track
name and says I have selected from bar 10 to bar 12. I have a sighted
friend with me and he said that although jaws states that the track
has been selected from bar 10 to bar 12 on the screen he can see that
the entire track has been selected.
3 I proceed with pressing control delete which gives a number of
options and allows me to tick the option to delete the whole clip and
not just the content.
4 I end up deleting the full track instead of the piece I have selected.
I am not sure what to do next. Any advice?
Richard
