    I’d vote for this .  It would be great to have a default setting where I choose my controller and it was always the input. I rarely use anything else and because it is bus powered it is always turned on with my computer.  

    Thank you for supporting the idea. Initially, I thought the problem could be solved through a general setting like in other software programs. However, considering that Cakewalk already has a feature like MIDI Input Preset, it occurred to me that developers could achieve the desired outcome with minimal effort by adding a preference like the one in the image, without the need for any new menu. Other than that, what developers would need to do is simply add a procedure of applying the default MIDI Input preset to the track creation operation.

    If this feature were added, it would permanently resolve an issue we encounter in projects where we need routing between tracks. However the main question here, I suppose, is whether such a feature will be added to the final version of Cakewalk by BandLab. As we know that from the statements the latest CbB version will be released not to introduce new features but to give the software a final form with bug fixes. Before learning this, I thought that, like in other DAWs, there would be an updated but limited version offered for free. Perhaps the company may consider such an option in the future. 

    However, even if such an alternative exists, we cannot guarantee that MIDI Input Presets will be included in the free version of Cakewalk Sonar, as in the past, MIDI Input Presets were not supported in SONAR Home Studio, which was a lower-tier but paid version compared to Cakewalk SONAR. Of course, the company may consider it more appropriate to include such a feature in the paid version, after this point, it's entirely up to them.

  2. When we add a synth, the default input comes as "None."

    If the "Enable MIDI Output" option is checked in any existing synth within the project, the "Always Echo Current MIDI Track" feature starts to become problematic because having "None" as the input means "Omni" for all inputs at the same time. However, generally we use one input tool that we use for each track.

    Currently, Cakewalk users have two options that they have to repeat every time: either keep the "Always Echo Current MIDI" option disabled and enable the "Input Echo" option for each instrument they play or change the input value for the default input they use for every newly added instrument.

    As a workaround, we could consider using "Project or Track Templates," but what would we do when we want to add a new instrument to an existing template? Perhaps, to avoid this, we might have to create separate single-track templates for each instrument, which can be cumbersome.

    To solve this issue selecting the default input option from the Preferences can eliminate the need to make such a setting for every instrument we add.

    This is not a new topic; it has been discussed multiple times before:

    Having such a feature in the final version of Cakewalk by Bandlab would resolve one of the important issues with MIDI routing in Cakewalk.

    No the Ctrl key is not stuck. Ctrl-S has never worked for me in Cakewalk. I do not have two Ctrl keys. When I unbind it, the menu still shows it as one of the two possible keystrokes for saving. 

    It seems you have a faulty keyboard binding registry.
    Just save your keyboard binding in a file and delete all lines in the file which contains: Kx00530B
    Then load  that keyboard binding file.

    There is a keyboard binding bug in the Cakewalk for years, I hope developers will fix it in the final CbBversion.

  4. I guess the problem here are people are afraiding about losing their hopes on the features they want.

    And maybe the company is afraiding to lose their users when they share a not promising roadmap.

    If there is nothing hopeful, it is logical that they should not share it. There is no other reasonable explanation.

    But given what the company has done over the past few years, it looks promising.

    And sharing the roadmap will be to their advantage.

    If they gave a public roadmap it probably would make me more sad then happy.  I say this because the one feature I want worked on is the Staff View. not getting into the details anymore. I realized it is very low on the list and may never happen.  Cakewalk does almost everything I need and heck now it is free. 

     

    Peace

    I understand you. You're worried that we will lose hope. I recommend you not to think like that. Yes I agree with you about the Staff View's development situation but did you see that post?

    Glenn gave us an idea about implementing the Musescore to the Cakewalk.

    Implementing a fully functional Music Notation software is easier than making it.

    So maybe developers consider our thought and contact with them then make a collaboration.

    I'm not interested in a personal argument, but I am interested if you have answers to Erik's questions.

    Nope. I will not answer the question that I am accused of the things that I didn't say, it's inappropriate like the intentionally deleted post contains before.

    If you are still interested in the answers, they're just simple information that is not open to any discussion and can easily be found by research on the internet.

    Bandlab have a strategic plan for their products and it's not in their interests to telegraph these plans to competing companies, much like almost every other company in this space, much like everyone else has said so far.

    Nope. The sharing of the roadmap will increase the BandLab's reliability. People will see the product is how going forward.

    While we may not like it, it's clearly the model they've used since 1987 and it's apparent this is how they're moving forward.

    I guess we all like it. Just we want it to be better and don't lag behind of the others.

    Throwing insults and accusations against users won't change this, it'll just stop people interacting with your threads.

    I never accused or insulted anyone even if I get one from other people. In the past the threads I talked are locked because of other peoples inappropriate behaviors.

    Does any other DAW vendor do this?

    It doesn't have to be DAW-specific, there are softwares that already have a Public Roadmap and it doesn't make any trouble.

    It's crazy. Have you ever worked in productized software?

    The crazy thing it that you as a user against the idea that will be good for us, and please do not talk on behalf of the Cakewalk Staff if there is a reasonable explanation they can share it here as I stated earlier.

    Even though the license for Cakewalk is free, the DAW is competing with all the others. Revealing plans to the competition is uncommon in the technology field.

    It has nothing to do with the competition. Even if it's related with it, sorry but Cakewalk is way behind it both feature and user count based. Roadmap will allow us to see when it will come at their level at least about the features.

    Every new release of Cakewalk comes with lovely surprises. I'm sure the next one will be the same.

    And if you're having fun with lovely surprizes, you just don't lovely look at the list.

    One way I would like to see what's next but at the same time I want Cakewalk Baker's to be able to work in peace.

    No. They'll still work in peace, they already have a roadmap only we just don't see it. 

  10. The roadmap can be shared and updated in a subsection like Early Access in the Cakewalk by Bandlab Section in the forum. It can be open or closed to any discussion.

    After then we will become able to make our discussions with a clear sight.

  11. I decided to conclude the conversation which is started in this thread:

    It wasn't a bad request actually, only the owner of the topic doesn't know about there is an existing function which already can do that.
    Also it can be seen in the title the request was containing only opening of the closed panes. Existing function allows opening and also closing the panes.
    Maybe it could be better when it was requested like double clicking on the same area where the closed pane bar is, even with the opened state, to expand and collapse them.
    With this way we will be able to sneak up the pane without changing the mouse position, for now we are not able to do that by clicking in the same area without clicking the expand/collapse button.

    Also reminding the developers that there is an issue with the existing function, it is not working when the pane is not resizable.

    2x clicking Inspector should work, but there seems to be a bug or 2.

    Yeah, you're right about that. Separator Bar is only active in the Mixer mode. The cursor icon is not changing to resize mode because it becomes unresizable with the other modes. So this means that double click function is only active when there is a resizable dock.

  13. 4 hours ago, Starship Krupa said:

    Yes I can. It's part of how I learn.

    No. In the OP you were not aware of the functionality of the Separator Bar's double click action. And after my comment you said:

    expand the functionality to include the borders as well, and include the Inspector in the fun.

    So you can't make a demand about a thing which you're not aware of. Only after my comment, you became able to do a feature request about expanding the functionality.

    Apologies. I was not calling you a "son of a gun." Heavens no.

    After all these behaviours of yours, apology seems not acceptable but I accept it this time. We should be mindful of our behavior from the start and not have to apologize. Even if you use a slang your approach is not appropriate for a comment which points you a solution of your needs.

    At present, the only way to open Skylight panels is to either click on a rather tiny button or a keystroke.

    And I told you the way:

    Double click to "Separator Bar" instead.

    And please use an appropriate languge when you're talking to other people in the forum:
