scook 4,310 Posted July 19, 2020 The buttons were removed from X-series SONAR and re-introduced in CbB. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Though I have X1 and X3, at that time I was doing more with a hardware sequencer and just exploring soft synths in X1 / X3 as an alternative. Not sure if I noticed it. Glad Cakewalk by Bandlab had the wisdom to add them back!!! Maybe they will also add the tools back into the Staff View Pane. (I did notice those were gone from CbB.) From X3 (looks a bit "sparse").

jieva 9 Posted July 19, 2020 They are adding back the snap for the next release, although I think that they said that Staff view will obey the Global snap function and not have its own. That's good enough for me and bandlab I thankyou very much indeed. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Starship Krupa 3,119 Posted July 25, 2020 So, Jerry, is thy Staff View once again a comfort to you? 😀 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jerry Gerber 341 Posted July 25, 2020 I think so. I've been testing it this afternoon and it's a delight. So much better with snap than without. As soon as the official new version is released I'll install it on my DAW. My first upgrade since the final version of Sonar....Yippee!! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Starship Krupa 3,119 Posted July 25, 2020 In case you hadn't noticed, you no longer must hold the Ctrl key to get your fully-active right-click context menu. It's not just the snap feature that's been amended per your requests.... Speak up, they need to know that it's now really working the way you all wanted it to.😊 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As soon as the new version is finalized I'm going to download it onto the DAW. I'm hoping it will be as stable as the final version of Sonar has been on my Windows 10 machine. (even though the lack of snap in the staff view drives me nuts). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jerry Gerber 341 Posted July 26, 2020 One thing I've noticed with the upcoming new version: Even when the global snap is turned OFF, the snap function still seems to work in the staff view Hmm? Is that by design? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't consider a program truly "stable" until I can forget to exit it and leave it running overnight and then sit down and it hasn't frozen or crashed. Cakewalk passed that threshold quite some time ago, to the point where I don't even think about it any more. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If global snap is turned off, the staff view reverts to the old snap of 1/32 notes depending on where you click within the measure. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And this is my version info. I take it that Global snap is the snap grid on or off in the Main Tool Bar ? I did not download the beta but waited for the official change and downloaded and installed via the Bandlab Assistant Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
