CBB Theme for an old, legally blind person?
Colin Nicholls replied to kmcintyre's topic in UI Themes
Recreating our themes using the forthcoming theming tools for New Sonar is a gonna be so fun... (engaging the power of positive thinking here). Oh, and Welcome, @Neon Laser 84 -
Are you mistaking "Next" for the new "Sonar" ? They are two different products. Next looks quite different from Sonar, which is much more of a gentle evolution from Cakewalk By Bandlab.

He pretty much explained why. Anyone trying to earn a living from Youtube needs to game the algorithm. It isn't about what makes sense to YOU, it's about what delivers browsers to his channels. Full stop. It's a sick, sick industry and it is not just Youtube. It is absolutely ANY business that relies on online ad revenue instead of, oh, actual people buying something. Look up 'enshitification' if you're curious, it contributes to that. Then you get folks here complaining about "subscriptions" when it is about the only thing that cuts the adware companies out of the equation of customer->creator. EDIT: Sorry @whoisp, this rant is not really directed at you

Future Re-install of Cakewalk after Sonar is Available?
Colin Nicholls replied to dalemccl's topic in Cakewalk by BandLab
Did you say this when X1, X2, and X3 were announced, as well? -
I like Mike, but, really, clickbait aside this could have been a completely positive announcement of a new Youtube channel. I understand, and despise, the pretzels that content creators have to contort themselves into, in order to stay relevant to the algorithm. Subscribed.

Sonar 8.5 Producer: Is VST3 Supported?
Colin Nicholls replied to Annabelle's topic in Cakewalk by BandLab
Here is the good stuff: I used to say that it didn't really matter what DAW you chose; just learn it well. Support for vision-impaired folk is where I have to contradict myself and say, that is definitely a deciding factor for DAW choice. -
Question about upcoming new Cakewalk Sonar
Colin Nicholls replied to dscoyne's topic in Cakewalk by BandLab
Time will tell, but you may be interested to know that the VX-64 vocal strip is available in Cakewalk now. See this video from Creative Sauce has he explains how to enable it. I'm sure it will also be available in the coming Sonar. RegionFX is also a feature of Cakewalk (CbB) now, and I would be astounded if it were omitted from the new Sonar. -
Neither is Reaper; never has been.

[CLOSED] Cakewalk 2024.02 Early Access
Colin Nicholls replied to Morten Saether's topic in Early Access Program
Because you asked: the ability to theme CbB is a very strong reason why I am still using it today. I have two themes I use and neither of them are Tungsten or Mercury. I'll wait and see what the future holds for theming Sonar before giving a final answer, of course 🙂 -
So? Is the information above out of date? Or would you prefer that everyone write out their replies again in the new thread?

If you're talking about the note names on the left as shown on page 90 , then, no, those colors can't be changed.

How to change the color of Markers
Colin Nicholls replied to FIP GeBall's topic in Cakewalk by BandLab
Nope -
How about waiting until Next is actually released and available to purchase? The discord thing I suspect is just for beta testers, and there ain't no such thing as a free lunch.

documentation Young Lady's Illustrated Primer to Theming Cakewalk
Colin Nicholls replied to Colin Nicholls's topic in UI Themes
I've uploaded the (possibly) final version of the document, updated for 2023.09 and including recent contributions from folks since the previous update. Thanks folks, it's been fun. I'm looking forward to the theming possibilities in the new Sonar. Hopefully, it won't require anything like as comprehensive as the YLIP. -
I was quite surprised at how much Studio One 6 resembles Cakewalk/SONAR. The last time attempted to use S1 seriously was back in version 2. I used it a lot for mastering projects - very nice project view. Without a doubt, if Cakewalk/Sonar is not an option for you, I would recommend a serious look at Studio One 6 (Professional). IMPORTANT CAVEAT: Look, if you're having issues with getting Cakewalk to work smoothly, you are going to have the same problems with Studio One. Almost guaranteed.
