When checked, the audio engine will use a dedicated worker thread for each CPU, and optimally distribute mixing and DSP tasks across multiple CPU&#8217;s. You will notice significant performance benefits on true multi-processor systems with this option enabled.<\/p>\n<p>Support for arbitrary sample rates <br \/>* Presets for most common sample rates.<br \/>* You can now set the project sample rate to any hardware supported sample rate value.<br \/>* Known good profiled sample rates are displayed in the Audio Configuration dialog.<br \/>* You may also type in any value supported by your audio device.<br \/>* This means you will now be able to use 88.2kHz, 176.4kHz, 192kHz, etc, rates in SONAR.<\/p>\n<p>High-quality sample rate conversion when importing audio <br \/>* File import now uses a high quality Windowed Sinc resampler.<\/p>\n<p>Ability to convert sample rate during audio export <br \/>* The file export dialog now has an option that allows you to enter a destination sample rate.<br \/>* Sample rate conversion uses the same high quality Windowed Sinc resampler used for import<\/p>\n<p>Maximum tempo has been increased to 1000 BPM (currently limited to 250BPM). <\/p>\n<p>Play List has been revived<\/p>\n<p>Placeholders for Missing\/Orphaned plug-ins <br \/>* All plug-in types that reside in effects bins (MFX, DX and DXi, built in Eq) are proxied by default when they are detected as missing. Missing plug-ins are indicated by displaying their names in parenthesis.<br \/>* A stand-in property page is also displayed showing the plug-in name with an explanation that the plug-in is missing.<br \/>* Projects containing missing plug-ins can now be freely saved without any data loss with this mechanism. <\/p>\n<p>Adjustable EQ Plot Resolution <br \/>* By default the EQ plot auto-zooms in increments of 6dB to display the plot. You can now right-click the Plot Show\/Hide button in the Console view and select from any of these resolutions:<br \/>Auto (default)<br \/>+\/-6<br \/>+\/-12<br \/>+\/-18<\/p>\n<p>Reset All Meters command <br \/>* Clears all meter clips and reset all meter numeric peak values, and will affect all meters in all views simultaneously).<br \/>* This is especially helpful when adjusting record levels on multiple tracks.<\/p>\n<p>Over 100 Bug Fixes <br \/>* The README file contains a complete list of bug fixes.<\/p>\n<p>More <br \/>* &#8220;Fit Tracks to Window&#8221; and &#8220;Fit Project to Window&#8221; commands now work in Bus pane when it has focus <br \/>* Keyboard shortcut to show\/hide Bus pane (Shift+B)<br \/>* Keyboard shortcut to show\/hide Large Transport toolbar (F4)<br \/>* All toolbars can now be shown\/hidden via key bindings<br \/>* In the Configure Colors dialog, the assigned color is now displayed next to each screen element<br \/>* StudioMix control surface plug-in<br \/>* Channel EQ is now exposed by the control surfaces API (but individual control surface plug-ins must still be updated in order to benefit from this)<br \/>* Support for KAR (karaoke) files<br \/>* Various control surface enhancements (more parameters exposed, etc.)<br \/>* Track View toolbar buttons have been resized to require less horizontal space <br \/>* An update to VSampler DXi 3.04 (only versions of VSampler that shipped with the SONAR 3 Producer Edition or the SONAR 3 Plug-in Patch will be updated. This patch will not update versions of VSampler obtained directly from MAZ Sound Tools.)<\/p>\n<p>IMPORTANT: The SONAR 3.1 Update includes a previously-released SONAR 3 Plug-in Patch. If you have already installed this Plug-in Patch, you may simply proceed without any further precaution. However, if you did not install the Plug-in Patch, please read the following information about Sonitus:fx presets before installing the SONAR 3.1 Update.<\/p>\n<p>If you have created any custom presets for any of the Sonitus:fx plug-ins, the custom presets will no longer be available after installing the SONAR 3.1 Update. If you wish to use any old custom Sonitus:fx presets after installing the Update, follow the instructions below in order to migrate the presets.<\/p>\n<p>Note: there are two ways to create presets with the Sonitus:fx plug-ins: 1) via SONAR&#8217;s standard preset control and 2) via the integrated Sonitus:fx Preset Manager. Any custom presets saved via SONAR&#8217;s preset control must first be saved as Sonitus presets before they can be migrated.<\/p>\n<p>To save SONAR presets as Sonitus presets:<\/p>\n<p>[1] Open plug-in.<br \/>[2] Select your custom preset from the &#8220;Presets&#8221; dropdown menu <br \/>[3] Click the [Presets] button in the Sonitus interface, then select &#8220;Add Preset&#8221; <br \/>[4] Name the preset, and add it to a bank (if you wish) <br \/>[5] Click [Add] to save the preset <br \/>[6] Repeat for each custom preset<\/p>\n<p>To export presets and import them after applying the plugin patch:<br \/>[1] Open plug-in.<br \/>[2] Click [Presets], and then select &#8220;Preset Manager&#8230;&#8221;.<br \/>[3] Click [Export&#8230;], and save the .INI file in the desired folder. <br \/>[4] Double-click on the .INI file to open it with Windows Notepad. <br \/>[5] Replace the old &#8220;CLSID=&#8221; line with the new line as listed below, and then save the .INI file.<\/p>\n<p>EQ Old: CLSID=SOFTWARE\\Classes\\CLSID\\{C54E2D00-F9CA-11D2-8C30-00805FE9FC03}<br \/>EQ New: CLSID=SOFTWARE\\Classes\\CLSID\\{C54E2D00-F9CA-11D2-8C30-00805FE9FC03}<\/p>\n<p>Modulator Old: CLSID=SOFTWARE\\Classes\\CLSID\\{5CEE8F1A-1B27-4595-8442-D9FEDA29C0AC}<br \/>Modulator New: CLSID=SOFTWARE\\Classes\\CLSID\\{C54E2D10-F9CA-11D2-8C30-00805FE9FC03}<\/p>\n<p>Reverb Old: CLSID=SOFTWARE\\Classes\\CLSID\\{0F050EB4-EF74-4363-9A56-E7E7B9368510}<br \/>Reverb New: CLSID=SOFTWARE\\Classes\\CLSID\\{C54E2D20-F9CA-11D2-8C30-00805FE9FC03}<\/p>\n<p>Phase Old: CLSID=SOFTWARE\\Classes\\CLSID\\{988586E9-5E8C-4f32-8DFB-024C00CF79EF}<br \/>Phase New: CLSID=SOFTWARE\\Classes\\CLSID\\{C54E2D30-F9CA-11D2-8C30-00805FE9FC03}<\/p>\n<p>Surround Old: CLSID=SOFTWARE\\Classes\\CLSID\\{A635487D-F2EB-450b-A728-6BA09FB23891}<br \/>Surround New: CLSID=SOFTWARE\\Classes\\CLSID\\{C54E2D40-F9CA-11D2-8C30-00805FE9FC03}<\/p>\n<p>Wahwah Old: CLSID=SOFTWARE\\Classes\\CLSID\\{0B259792-0D5A-4871-83FD-87BFF992BB19}<br \/>Wahwah New: CLSID=SOFTWARE\\Classes\\CLSID\\{C54E2D50-F9CA-11D2-8C30-00805FE9FC03}<\/p>\n<p>Compressor Old: CLSID=SOFTWARE\\Classes\\CLSID\\{BCB6A15F-2A31-4b80-BA44-F101874B3BA5}<br \/>Compressor New: CLSID=SOFTWARE\\Classes\\CLSID\\{C54E2D60-F9CA-11D2-8C30-00805FE9FC03}<\/p>\n<p>Multiband Old: CLSID=SOFTWARE\\Classes\\CLSID\\{C54E2D70-F9CA-11D2-8C30-00805FE9FC03}<br \/>Multiband New: CLSID=SOFTWARE\\Classes\\CLSID\\{C54E2D70-F9CA-11D2-8C30-00805FE9FC03}<\/p>\n<p>Delay Old: CLSID=SOFTWARE\\Classes\\CLSID\\{D3154A3D-551B-4421-9D45-F12068D35ED2}<br \/>Delay New: CLSID=SOFTWARE\\Classes\\CLSID\\{C54E2D80-F9CA-11D2-8C30-00805FE9FC03}<\/p>\n<p>Gate Old: CLSID=SOFTWARE\\Classes\\CLSID\\{0CC0D2A0-4F21-40da-B5BC-AC533346DA0C}<br \/>Gate New: CLSID=SOFTWARE\\Classes\\CLSID\\{C54E2D90-F9CA-11D2-8C30-00805FE9FC03}<\/p>\n<p>[6] Repeat steps 1-5 for any Sonitus:fx plug-ins for which you have created custom presets. <br \/>[7] Apply the SONAR 3 Plug-In patch. <br \/>[8] Open the (new\/patched) plug-in. <br \/>[9] Click [Presets], and then select &#8220;Preset Manager&#8230;&#8221;. <br \/>[10] Click [Import&#8230;], and select the .INI file that was created in step #3. <br \/>[11] Repeat steps 8-10 for each Sonitus:fx plug-in.<\/p>\n<p>In order to access this free download you must be a registered SONAR 3 Producer or SONAR 3 Studio customer.
