You can actually have multiple Arranger tracks used for different things.

Use Arranger and label them accordingly??

1. CCC doesn't have all my products for some reason. I normally download them thru my legacy account and store the installers locally. Updates are available thru the website Knowledge Bass. 2. Some plugins are part of the main installation. However, you can run a "custom" installation and choose only the plugins you want without installing the program itself.

Troubling that there's a "this version outdated" toast along with a "this version expired" toast and a "new version" toast while the start screen says "up to date". Only when I downloaded the update (not installed) did the start screen change to "update available".

Most older Cakewalk plugins have Resource folders like that. I count 36 folders here. This is true of many included plugins... because different Cakewalk versions put them all over the place, which makes for a lot of extra unnecessary files. One installation put the DX version of Dimension in C:\Shared DXi folder all by itself as well as in the normal Cakewalk\Shared DXi folder. Too bad the dynamic graphics and text aren't changeable with these older plugins as some text are getting too small too see on newer screens.

"Advanced" option is at the bottom of the Preferences window and shows everything in "None" as well as "Advanced" Workspace. I count 30 items for each. It is off by default. Other Workspaces may not show everything when selected.

Works for Psyn II but not RXP. This works for RXP Groove Browser & Pentagon I DX: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\rgc:audio Software\Dxi\Pentagon I In other news... Pentagon I VST = "Cakewalk Sonar has stopped working" (crash) If a plugin supports it, the setting will be listed under the new top bar icon. Turning it OFF in Preferences to display some plugins won't help those that need it.

RXP (32 bit) opens in 64 bit new Sonar, CbB, and SPlat but the Groove Browser is empty. Groove Browser works in all 32 bit Sonars and 64 bit X1-X3.

Select all and drag up & down, or CAL script Scale Velocity to lower or raise by a %, or Piano Roll View > Transform Tool - .

Since when did that matter... here. I've recorded acoustic guitar with a piezo bridge p/u, a LANCE humbucker p/u, and a diaphragm mic at the same time all routed to separate tracks for a nice blended sound.

Good catch. Probably my issue too but will check later. EDIT: My mouse was set to 3 which was causing the blurry cursors. At 1 the cursors are too small to see on a 17" 4K screen so larger mouse cursor sizes are sometimes needed.

Thanks for clarifying Promidi. It makes more sense now. Tho articulations are still too complex for me to get into.

Not sure but it sounds like I got 2 different answers??

Try different scale settings. I find only a few display cursor icons clearly when using 4K (3840x2160) res's. 100% = clear 125% = clear 150% = blurry 175% = blurry [This scale gives the best overall view for me on a 17" screen] 200% = clear 225% = clear 250% (Recommended) = clear 300% = blurry 350% = blurry

Does this translate to exported MID files that can be played with another sound source or does it remain exclusive to the Cakewalk project?

Unfortunately. I have a 4K but it's too small for DAW use at those res's. At standard res's, new Sonar is somewhat less readable than CbB for more than one reason. Properly scalable vector based UI's should be crisp at all res's. My main DAW screen is 2K so it's somewhat of an issue.

True. The smaller they get, the hotter they get, the more delicate they get, the more likely something goes wrong. I miss(ed) the good ol' days:

I typically use the legacy login site for downloads because CCC doesn't have all my stuff for some reason.

I've grappled with this since X1 so it's not you. When things go sideways I restart the computer and try again with a new project to reproduce the issue. Usually it takes a day or 2 before things go back to normal. Maybe the PC is having a bad day. They're only human too.

The image then becomes embedded into the template file and you can delete the image. Of course, this will be a moot point in short order unless you use Sonar Platinum.

I noticed the Preferences header text right off the bat. In some, if not all, areas they've changed font faces, size, and the way fonts are displayed. At 1920x1080 @100% zoom, CbB Header text is much more readable. Sonar Header text looks like it's having trouble adjusting to standard resolutions. At 4K 3840x2160 @150% zoom on a 17" laptop, Sonar text looks cleaner than CbB text but would be easier to read if it wasn't bold. Even tho the views below look bigger than the views above, they're much smaller on the 4K 17" screen. At 4K 3840x2160 @100% zoom, Sonar text still looks cleaner than CbB text but tends to become misaligned, or the boxes aren't resizing to fit it causing it to be shorter in height. Again the views are smaller on the laptop.

Is it a true update? Do I need it if I already have SD3 from X1?

Nice. Actually... all 4 corners are beveled on a groove clip.
