SONAR 6.2.1 Update

The information in this article applies to:
  • SONAR 6 Producer Edition
  • SONAR 6 Studio Edition

Notable Fixes/Changes:

  • Optimizations for high bandwidth multi-track recording
    • Better performance and higher track counts at high sample rates and bit depths.
    • New EnableCacheWriteThru AUD.INI variable enables disk write thru caching, which provides more efficient disk I/O.
    • New RecordPreAllocSeconds AUD.INI variable can improve disk write performance at high track counts.
    • Picture cache is no longer computed in the background during recording.
  • BitBridge (hosting 32-bit VSTs in SONAR x64)
    • Now supports 64-bit double precision streaming from VST 2.4 plug-ins.
    • Now reads plug-in delay correctly on first instantiation
    • Improved UAD-1 delay compensation reporting
  • AudioSnap / Radius
    • Transposing an audio clip via the Process Menu command while using a Radius algorithm would crash SONAR.
    • If no clips were selected before an audio export, clips with AudioSnap enabled on them would use the online/real-time algorithm instead of the offline algorithm.
    • Crash in Radius after bouncing/rendering a clip that had been previously slip-stretched with the Radius algorithm.
  • Using SONAR with the 64-bit double-precision audio engine engaged sometimes crashed SONAR.
