    Here's what I can't figure out...these delivery companies have advanced GPS technology and AI route mapping. They can tell exactly where a given truck or package is at any time, anywhere in the world.

    Where I live, some last mile delivery services send a link to a map once the delivery truck is on its way. In my case it’s usually about an hour before the actual drop. The link leads to a map with the location of the truck so you can follow it online while it makes its different deliveries in the vicinity. The map is updated a couple of times a minute, so you can watch it closing in on your neighbourhood almost in real time. Some even have a counter on the map where it says how many additional drops will be made until it reaches your address. It works pretty well.

    You need to left click on the marker and press the delete key while the mouse button is down.

    I stand corrected. Guess my memory has seen better days. However, pressing the Delete key while at the same time left-clicking the marker is not that much better. And I do think that adding a Delete button to the existing dialog would be a pretty low-cost way to get a function that Cakewalk newbies would be able to find.

    Why not support the Normal UI Practice? Curious

    I agree. The way to delete a marker in CbB/Sonar is one of the (few) things I find unintuitive. Hover the mouse over the marker and press the Delete key? Seriously? Simply hovering over an object does not make it selected. And, to my knowledge, allowing deletion of an unselected object in a software GUI is highly unusual.

    The way I think it could be done without too much hassle would be to add a Delete button to the current Marker dialog. If the mouse has been right-clicked on an existing marker, then enable the Delete button. Otherwise, disable the Delete button. Simple to achieve, yet much easier for a Cakewalk newbie to find.

    Great, all very helpful, thanks. I'll try all approaches and see which works best for me.

    Seriously, if you still have got your Roland Juno-DS, the only sensible way to add sustain would be to use a sustain pedal. According to the Juno-DS Owner's Manual, any Roland sustain pedal in the DP series should work. I don’t have a Juno, but I do have a Roland DP-10 sustain pedal which I can highly recommend. Simply connect it using the input called PEDAL HOLD.

  5. Too little, too late. You're beaten by cclarry. He posted this almost eight hours ago. In fact, he mentioned that the code DEALOFACENTURY would cut the price to $10.

  6. The "D:\Jenkins" part indicates you've downloaded a development version that was never intended for end users. I remember seeing something like this reported a week or two ago, but it was soon replaced by the correct version. The solution is to download and install whatever version you've got once again.

  7. You mentioned this in another thread and there you supplied a link to https://legacy.cakewalk.com/Products/SONAR/Buy-Now/SONAR-Platinum. That was the monthly Rent to Own price for SONAR Platinum back in 2017. As you probably know, SONAR Platinum  is long gone, never to return.

    As for the new Cakewalk Sonar, no details have been released regarding a possible purchase price. There is something called a Backstage Pass currently available, but unless you feel comfortable with that, I think the best thing to do right now is to wait until all the options are on the table. There are already many threads on this topic in the forum. Here's a link to the main thread:

    Fleer likes literally everything. Lots of love in his heart apparently.

    Ah, but there are differences. You simply have to learn how to interpret Fleer's commendations. Here's what they actually mean:

    • Come to mama = 5
    • Da shiznet = 4
    • Pretty, pretty good = 3
    • Great stouph = 2
    • Nice juan = 1
    • Remarkable = 0
    • WUP = -1

  9. Unfortunately, it seems like the video is based on a slightly older version of Drum Replacer than the one currently in CbB. The MIDI Notes in the video at the bottom right of each kit piece (which you can’t find) are now located inside the area to the left where the wave forms are displayed. Other than that, the video should be correct as far as I can see (although surprisingly scarce).

    There are two ways to pick replacement sounds. The first one is to select from the small number of available sounds that come with Drum Replacer, or from any other one-shot files you might have on your computer. The other one is to use a plugin like Addictive Drums, or Toontrack EZDrummer. Most likely, you will get a better result using the latter, but if you haven’t got a good drum plugin, you've got to  go with whatever one-shots you have. Both methods are described in the video.

    I think the important thing to remember, in order to get a natural sound, is to find a mix between the old material and the new drum sounds. You do that by adjusting the Dry/Wet knob.
