?

Even after 20 years of fumbling around with this miracle of software, I'm a designated and also dissapointed OP of CakeWalk.    Right now, my SetUp is a combination of Sonar and FL Studio 21 VSTi, so I take adventage of both programs at the same time.  CbBL seems to perfectly host FL Studio (FL is, from my point of view, a very strange construction and concept, but ... hmm)              

I'm also a great lover of two software-tools called Key Manager (ATNsoft) and Actual Title Button (ActualTools), which make my life easier with CbBL (you should take a look at both)

Enthusiast and producer of EDM Music  -  especially 'Chilled Dubstep' - 'Prog House' -  'Prog/Psy Trance' - 'Drum & Bass'

-- NOT ACTUAL ANYMORE --

Take a look at my fantastic, selfbuild Shortcut-Workspace Keyboard! (old IBM - maybe 1989 ?

It allows me to take full advantage of the CbBL-shortcut-concept, which inherents an incredible amount of possibilities to control almost everything inside of CbBL.

So I only need one keystroke to trigger one shortcut-command at a time without any "Finger-Acrobatic".                                                                For example: F-Key on my Workpad reacts to total combination of (ctrl+shift+c)--> copy   --> organiezied by a keyremapping-software:   "Key Manager" (ATNsoft)

(This brings an ease of use into my workflow ? no finger-acrobatic - no more key-combinations - just one tip for one shortcut.

Easy to find shortcuts cause of colorselect and group-assignment.

If you are practising CbBL-Shortcuts, have you ever thought about the possibility
using a (at least) 6/7 button mouse to route CTRL/SHIFT/ALT to your right hand preventing 
yourself from complicated finger combinations and tendon sheath [ANAT.] inflammation [MED.]?  ?
