Please go easy on me, this is my very first attempt at a comprehensive theme overhaul. Named after the 91st element, this metallic theme is light in tone and broadly based on "that other DAW"'s color (Classic) scheme. Thanks to Matthew for the help and also the M-Spec theme that I started from. Also props to Colin Nicholls for some elements of FLAT WHITE and Canopus for the knobs from his Gran Vista themes. https://www.dropbox.com/s/p7i0v7wphdwzql3/PROtactinium 1.2.sth?dl=0 If you find something amiss please let me know. I had to make some compromises due to the forced connections between sometimes unrelated elements. Always learning!

It sounds like you are confusing Bandlab with Cakewalk by Bandlab. I don't believe CBB is compatible with Apple iMac. So this is a confusing question.

Now THAT... is a tuner! Peterson makes a nice modern version of the strobe tuner. Most guitarists use the clip-on-the-headstock ones nowadays.

I tried Edge and now I quite like it. You might too... go ahead.

Ah, thanks! I thought I had borked something up. ?

PS- I realized it is Re-Worked M-Spec 4 theme, not M-Curves... but still wondering why I am seeing this.

Is there a reason I'm getting a spectrum of colors in the start screen, instead of the black background?

Channel Tools maybe? Cakewalk - Cakewalk Documentation - Channel Tools plug-in

I was updating a family member's machine this week (W10 Home) and the latest feature update got locked into spinning ball mode after the "restart your computer now" juncture. I physically powered it off and back on. The update assistant advised that the install failed so I did it a second time... installed correctly, no problem. It seems crude but the off switch worked this time.

While this feature would enhance your particular workflow, it would be a nuisance for anyone who works at the same SR most of the time. I suspect that is the majority of users.

In pre-digital days it was like milking an old piece of gear you knew was going to fall over eventually... parts were oft times unobtanium lol.

Pro I like to install upgrades on my own schedule.

Thanks for the response, msmcleod. I'll go on using the IK one in its stead, which I have.

So is there no way to utilize the demo then? I did not claim it previously. Just now downloaded the demo from CCC.

I downloaded the demo version of CA-2A using the command center. Being as I did not buy Sonar versions when it was offered, is there a way to authorize it so it is not in demo mode?

I like it!

Edited: Thanks Colin. I used that .zip and no funny business. Thanks again!

Okay I want to try out the Theme Editor. During the setup it is asking me to assign an image editor. I tried browsing to Paint 3D but cannot find it. There's a suggestion to download some Pain.NET but it's some dodgy crap thing that tried to install a bogus browser on my machine and I had to end task via the Task Manager quickly. WTH? What are you other folks doing to get past this step in the install process without compromising your security to sketchy third party stuff like this? I am frankly surprised CWB would suggest something that tries to back door a browser install.

Make sure you have the 64 bit versions. Back then 32 bit was the norm.

Is it a 64 bit version?

One of the forum contributors in the oldie days, Jonas Aras, created a template that routed everything this way.

I must be the exception. Upgraded to 2004 and working smooth as silk.

It's good that you are referencing a variety of commercial tracks to judge how well you match up. Especially ones in similar genres. Gain staging from start to finish is the heart of the matter, always has been, always will be. Yellow is the new red!

It's about learning. Next time, make sure your incoming signal levels leave lots of headroom. Yellow is the new red.
