     TY for clarifying that its a single page that has both categories and lists. Let me see if I understand. A flatbed list is a "wide window" that shows a list of categories as well as all the items in a selected category.** Apologies that I did not notice that before.  As I said, some of us get overwhelmed when there are way too many items on a page (or within a box on a page). That's one of the reasons for having flexibility--a point that seems to keep getting lost by some people in this thread.  

    I stand by all my other comments here.

    BTW, I looked up "flatbed effect list," "flatbed list" and "UI flatbed list" (and a few other variations) thinking maybe my personal knowledge base had a gap and I am missing what you and everyone else knows.  (It does happen.) However, for the first 5 pages of several Google searches, the only source I found was this thread.   Apologies if "flatbed list" is indeed a common phrase; Google didn't help me to know what you meant.

    **Not sure I have 100% of what you mean.

    Again . . . Look at this picture.

    I think the only way a position of flexibility in the UI (such as the one I have advocated on my own behalf) can be remotely considered evil is if people believe there is only one path to truth.  😜   Honestly, I don't know why users are so stuck on saying that "THEIR WAY" of doing things is better than the ways others might choose to do them. But maybe that's because I am a pluralist and try to be understanding and tolerant of differences.  In fact, I have long appreciated SONAR/Cakewalk's flexibility / customizability.

    As for (1) the allegation that a "flatbed list" is a new and/or improved UI design feature and (2) the implication that the failure of users to jump onto the bandwagon presented here (a) to abandon other structures and (b) to support a universal flatbed list design everywhere in Cakewalk is a sin as it flies in the face of progress, development, etc., please consider this (as an example):

    image.thumb.png.ee34bbcc8974d66cf2c2d57042fa57d2.png

    (1a) Clearly the "flatbed list" is not a new UI design feature.  (1b) This particular list seems capable of accommodating 125+ items. (1c) It is activated by a simple button (1d) If all 6 banks (in this case) were in one flatbed list, some of us would find a flatbed list of 900-1,000 items overwhelming.

    (2a) Personally, I like sliders (hardware and software), but I think it would be arrogant of me to suggest that sliders are superior for all people in all circumstances and ought to be implemented everywhere in Cakewalk.

    (2b) And if I did request that Cakewalk implement mandatory sliders in places where there currently aren't sliders, I think it would be arrogant of me to suggest that people who have personal preferences for the status quo should have no voice in the discussion if they suggest that multiple options is a good thing.

    Again, that's probably just me being a pluralist appreciating differences, flexibility, customized workflows, etc.

    I understand that many people believe that there is only one path to truth--the "right" way to do something, etc.

    BTW, insofar as your advocacy is supportive, thanks Lord.  😉

    You guys dont seem to get it. 

    What you are showing is a "one list" page.

    [Zoom in to check.]

    Every EQ/Dynamic or what ever you want to use, will be in its own category. It will just be much easier to find,  instead of clicking 2mins to locate your favorite one right at the bottom.

    This will be a new feature to the DAW. Your example was that of a VST and not that of the DAW itself. So it will be new to Cakewalk.

    Like in every other DAW - the user can switch this On or Off. 

    Stop holding Cakewalk back in 1999. We're in the 21st Century.

    Will Kaydo I agree with your request. I have often hoped for something a little better in listing plugins. However, there is no reason to get upset with other posters no matter how anti progress they may sound. Frustration due to people putting up arguments opposed to the idea is no reason to attack anyone. 

    Consider this a warning.  The TOS forbids calling a member a name that is an insult.  

    Really dont care about warnings at this point. I will call someone out when they in the wrong!

    You must have a hellishly low resolution set on your mouse 

    And this makes you a straight up *****! 

    Not everyone can affort big monitors - not that I dont have / but / here's guys out here working solely on Laptops. The world of workflow does not revolve around your selfish attitude. 

    If you have the means of what it takes to afford these type of equipment great! Out here on the streets - the struggle is real! We work with what we have - so asking on behalf of those producers and where I will benefit - I WILL DO!

    Not when it's buried 700 plugins away

     

    If you say so. Go and read the original post again. Who uses 700 COMPRESSORS? the flatbed is on the subgroup Dynamic, EQ Reverb etc. Not all effects on one page. READ!

    Stating Facts.  It's quicker.  One keypress (b) to open / close the browser and for instruments you can double click and not drag to insert them.

    If I had to use the old menu I doubt I could be arsed to use my Zynaptique plugins . Jesus.

     

    Stating Facts is: When you just right and click on what you want. Not extra steps included.

    Browser is way quicker if you have a lot of plugins

    What we need to keep in mind is: Your likes differ from everyone elses. I don't like the browser open neither the inspector - period!

    You might have a bigger monitor than mine / OR / more than one, so my real-estate might not be as spaciousas yours. I definitely hate dragging thing in to a strip on the console. This less windows I have open - the more access I have to ram and cpu. 

    I'm one that prefer on hand access to stuff as this speeds up production - like the much appreciated "T" SHORTCUT ("In place access") anywhere in my workflow to my TOOLS menu - Hence: why a flatbed effect list would be ideal in my workflow. 

    I can go on forever why a list as such will benefit my workflow, but I think I've said enough. TO CATER FOR EVERYONES NEEDS IS IMPORTANT.

    So now you don’t have any virus protection. 
    If you had followed the advice given you would still have full virus protection and your original problem would be dealt with appropriately. Rather than the blunt instrument of fully disabling Windows Defender. 

    😕 Uhmm! I do! One that I'd been trusting for years. 

    One that does it's job on the preferences I've set it to. I do what was given in the tips through it for years.

    I agree - Last entry - would be useful - regarding number of bars - that may only be relevant if ones loop is an even multiple of a bar OR just a bar - what if the loop is an odd number of bars and the aim is to end up with an even number of bars? would it not be simpler to leave math errors up to the user to make and if ones loop is only 7 and a half measures or bars long, the question remains - how many times would you like to repeat it?
    just MHO. There is no bad feedback!

    Do you know about the the CTRL+D shortcut? Select a few things in a project and press Ctrl+D quick. It's everyday a lifesaver in my workflow.

    Hi There,

    Thanks for picking up the slack and resurrecting Cakewalk - Much appreciated - now I can finally remix 25 year old recordings (yeah I could have used something else but why?)

    So I hope this is an ok place to comment/request a feature request.

    Regarding Groove Clip Looping - Please Please consider facilitating a 'Repeat Count' entry box so we don't have to drag it out for 100 or more bars.
    Its would be cool to have both but a repeat count would be awesome!

    Thanks

    I think the "Last Entry" feature would be suitable. Reason: For when doing cross work. So, the drag option as default and a "Last Entry" feature perhaps. I dont want to add 100 grooves to the other clips where I might only need 4. 

    So the drag option as default and "Last Entry" feature as an option. 

    OR 

    To punch in how many bars you want of it.

    Spotify wants me to create an account. But Itunes ( Apple)  is working fine on my PC computer.

    Apple has this unwarranted level of security and you can't do anything with out re logging in to your account. I can hardly wait till that phone dies and go back to an Android. 

    Anyhow I love your backing instruments especially the bass. Well done. 

    Thanks on the positive feedback. 

  13. There's problems with the links it seems to be. A decent amount of fans reached out to alert me. 

    It plays, then it doesnt. Works and doesn't. This seems to be related to your region. Apple is busy with maintenance dont know what's spotify issue. 

    I will give feedback soon.
