Cakewalk has updated SONAR Home Studio 7 and Home Studio 7 XL to v7.0.1. This update enhances performance and usability across the entire application.

Issues resolved in SONAR Home Studio v7.0.1

General:

• Inserting and assigning sends is more stable and responsive.

• Editing track and bus names no longer causes CPU spikes.
• The Plug-in Manager no longer crashes on exporting a preset from the ACT MIDI Controller.
• Inaccuracies have been corrected regarding nudging, snapping, sliding and inserting time by Frames.
• Addressed instabilities regarding QuickTime import/export.
• In rare cases, SONAR Home Studio would crash when recording a stream of MIDI data (more likely on multi-core/multi-processor systems).
• Loading projects saved with the Loop Explorer View or Loop Construction View opened no longer causes system instability.
• On some system configurations, project playback would stall/pause intermittently.
• Multi-selected clips could not be cropped together at certain zoom levels.

• Control surface response to REW/FF operations has been improved.
• The first audio channel of certain ASIO devices will no longer reset unintentionally.
• SONAR Home Studio no longer drops out at low latency when using plugins that require latency compensation (i.e. Perfect Space).

Track View:

• Several issues regarding drag-and-drop and cut/copy/paste have been resolved.
• A stability issue has been addressed after bouncing a track or clip containing a clip effects bin and then saving a project.
• Track controls such as gain, pan, and send level sometimes had no impact on the audio signal path.
• Nudging a clip up/down did not always move it to the adjacent track.
• Potential instability with the video track has been resolved.
• Importing multiple audio clips now properly places them in multiple tracks, instead of stacked together in a single track.
• Scrolling is now more responsive in large projects.
• Auto cross-fade settings were not being saved with project files.

Track Folders:

• Moving tracks to folders no longer causes system instabilities.
