I can see them removing all but the main Sonar, Hardware, Software and Techniques forums as the rest of the forums will have no real significance in the future.

Just a Heads UP but each time I log in the Cakewalk logo takes longer to display like something's trying to prevent it.

Or just burn your project folders to CD or thumb drive & Media mail it. Slow but safe. 😊

Will this make Bank/Patch changes easier for old KB's like mine that don't use standard B/P architecture? Sonar's INS files are life savers for this. Studio One has to be confangled a bit for it to work but some DAW's are totally clueless and can't do it.

Scroll bars shrinking and stretching when available window content changes is normal behavior in any Windows/Mac environment. In CbB the horizontal bar (at the bottom) never grows or shrinks when zooming in or out. The vertical one does. Common throughout the "X" series. I checked Sonar X1 and found neither one stretches.

As of 11PM EST all forum access is closed. Last post was in Songs by Leadfoot 3 min. B4 shutdown.

Q's don't have votes. Only A's.

Plugin renaming is a big help especially with PI's like Kontakt that install 3 variants with the same name.

Also, make sure each MIDI track is actually assigned to the intended softsynth. Sometimes I get confused when there's a lot of Dimensions loaded. Easy to do by SOLOing each MIDI track and seeing which softsynth solo button lights up. If it aint the one it should be then you've assigned it to the wrong one.

THANKS!

Long shot, but try setting each midi track to different midi channel and corresponding soft synth to same channel.

AND... Will this be normal behavior for each update cycle?

No idea, but I had trouble once with ASIO buffers that required the EXACT one or it wouldn't work. Only way to find it was try each one separately: 100. 105, 140, 147, 150, etc. I also had issues with 64 bit Double Precision Engine.

Anyone find this in TE yet? Text can be changed but I don't see the background listed.

See post #2. Should be one of those but not sure exactly which. All Module's coded text are affected by one text color.

I use multiple plugin locations and don't see any way of adding/removing them except thru Plugin Manager. Also, the 1st option in the Plugin Browser's dropdown is "Manage Layouts" which opens.... Plugin Manager. Does the Browser use PM when it scans or is there another scanner? BTW, PM is a separate program open-able with Cakewalk.

No risk. All edits are locked to the theme they were made to so it shouldn't be a problem.

Good catch, bit. All track & voice settings were good but the synth's global MIDI Mode was OMNI. 🙄 Set it to MULTI and all's good now. Thanks everyone for all the tips.

Whichever works best. I leave the Global Project location default and change the Global Audio & Picture cache to another HDD so any global files don't load up the C drive. No moving directories required. P.S. The Picture Cache should be emptied occasionally to avoid HDD from filling up and clips misbehaving.

To use Per Project Audio folders, save-as project to the 2T (D) drive and check "Copy all audio with project". OR In Preferences go to File - Audio Data and set your global folders to: D:\Cakewalk Projects\Audio Data D:\Cakewalk Projects\Picture Cache

Collapsed Modules = individual background graphic for each Module with painted text - easy to customize. "Vertical" Collapsed Modules = one background graphic shared by all modules. individual Icon graphic for each module. text & text color not accessible to user. HOWEVER!!! I found you can make each "vertical" module Icon wider and add text to it graphically. 😎 The Icon comes before the default text so making it wider can push the text off the background until it's no longer visible. 1. Find "Icon" graphic for each Module 2. Open in Photoshop 3. Resize Canvas width to 75 pixels 4. Add text where you want it, flatten & save ... You're welcome! BTW, Maybe my sense of orientation is askew but the "vertical" background looks horizontal to me. EDIT: Must be because the CB collapses vertically (upward).

Didn't know about the horizontal tabs. Text color is B4B4B4 and shows up nowhere in Preferences/Colors or T.E. For some reason horizontal layout is implemented differently than vertical. Another request to update T.E. 😎

Thanks. I knew they were tied to other text but couldn't remember what. Collapsed fonts are part of graphic which can be repainted to suit.

Where is the text color for the Control Bar screens?
