ooops, I did it again. If I can figure out how, I will start a new thread because my question is OT. Hmmmm. On second thought, its not even Cakewalk specific. I'll try PM.

Thanks for doing the comparison and for reporting the results for the Cinematic demo pack.

PS: I can confirm the loops showed up in my Media Browser and seem to drop right into tracks in the new and improved Cakewalk. Per scook's comment: I probably unpacked them (in X3) when I got them and I still have 8.5 and X3 on my PC; so, maybe the unpacked content I have were picked up automatically when I installed Cakewalk by BandLab last month. Perhaps the currently free ones are not keyed into a prior Sonar installation.

At first glance, they seem to overlap with the ones I downloaded from the Cakewalk Command Center, with the exception of the KLI set (for non-free Kontakt users--which might have been there, but I didn't download--not sure). If anyone compares the currently-offered free content with what came from the Cakewalk, I'd be interested. Thanks for raising the question in the first place, thanks for pointing out the current availability, and thanks for anything anyone else might contribute about the Big Fish content.

I have not used BREVERB before, but I used this as an opportunity to try it. I inserted softsynth called Minimogue-VA as a simple instrument, turned off the softsynth's built-in reverb and then inserted the version of BREVERB2 I have. I played it live from a usb keyboard and didn't experience any beeping. Not sure this helps, but I figured I'd let you know my results. Steve

Stink Foot by Frank Zappa See lyrics & dialog re: Fido/poodle. For example: "Well then Fido got up off the floor An' he rolled over An' he looked me straight in the eye An' you know what he said? Once upon a time Somebody say to me (This is a dog talkin' now) What is your Conceptual Continuity? Well, I told him right then (Fido said) It should be easy to see The crux of the biscuit Is the Apostrophe(')" "The poodle bites. The poodle chews it." [about some slippers]

Thanks for the link to the optimization guide and your additional suggestions and tips. Also, IMO the above line cannot be emphasized enough.

Super nice they can be dragged directly into Cakewalk from the BandLab Assistant Browser. I knew we could audition them and download them, but dragging and placing immediately seems like a handy feature. As for Loops, I had some previously in the Media Library and it was a snap to just point the media browser to my previously downloaded BandLab Sounds. [ancient images of media in browser deleted]

I wholeheartedly agree to props being due as you stated! So far I have edited 5 collapsed control bar module images (to make it easier on my eyes) and played around with about 20-25 color elements and I know I do not have the skills (or the patience) to do a complete theme. My hat goes off to master theme makers, too!

Thanks! I frequently try things that are new to me based on issues others have. This discussion now makes more sense to me. Than ks for raising the question, for the replies, and for the dialog. In case its not clear from the size of the 4 screen shots, the arrow in the customized smart tool button is shaded, while the one before (not-customized) is solid.

I like that the Theme Editor shows the original and what its has been changed to. (See image from Tuncury.)

I have never created drum maps in Cakewalk, but now that I am getting into re-learning the software, your implied question ("How can I create drum maps for my gear/softsynths?") caught my interest. I had been under the impression that those sorts of things had been contributed by users, but I am not sure where I got that impression and could be wrong. Anyhow, I am not sure if this is the best video for it's purpose, but I stumbled onto it and thought of sharing it here. Of course, if someone has already done one for Toontracks, that would better meet your needs than doing one yourself. If others know of online repositories, other recommended videos, and/or tips, I'd also be interested. Thanks for raising the issue. Steve

Apologies for the horrible test colors I used, but I believe it shows that switching the screenset (at least in the case of the Notes Browser colors I tested) has the same effect as rebooting Cakewalk. I tested changes to the text color in the Track Lane Notes and it looks like that element doesn't get updated by switching the screenset.

Yes! Also, I just did some tests with Notes Browser and found some theme colors change (1) when a theme is selected, (2) when a file is reopened, and (3) when a Screen Set is changed.

The version I downloaded 7-12-2019 (25.05.00) was 2188 pages. The one there now 25.07.00 version is was 1724 pages. It looks like the manual was revised. Also, it looks like 25.07.00 has larger pages and more content per page. Update: 2019-10-03. Version 25.09.00 has been posted and is 1712 pages. Update: 2020-11-24: I no longer compare the size/content of the reference guides; someone else can do it if they want.
