Hello there!
Dear developers! Please make it possible to assign a keyboard shortcut to restore the stripe size! ?
It would be immensely convenient!
Otherwise, I have to make a large number of mouse clicks to view information about collapsed tracks.
Wow!!!
I just found this keyboard shortcut by accident!!! ?
It's: Enter!!! -
Dear colleagues and developers!
Tell me how to assign a keyboard shortcut similar to CTRL + scrolling up and down with the mouse to navigate the project?
I've already been tormented by the mouse to do everything, and the scrolling has become stuck lately, although the mouse is very cool ...

Hello there!
I want to share my thoughts on the design of some elements of the Cakewalk ?It would be great to finish in a contrast mode (dark background and white text) for a dark theme the blocks of windows highlighted in red.
Especially cool to make a contrast menu.
They are very different from the overall harmonious design of ALL Cakewalk's dark themes.
In Cubase and Studio One, the same blocks are very harmonious in color.
Colleagues, what do you say?
Lots of screenshots with examples below.
Drop-down menu ⏬
All menu blocks and dropdown menu ⏬
Plug-ins and synths window header ⏬
All undock windows and scrolling on the right ⏬
This and this and this drop-down menu ⏬
And ALL Preferences menu ⏬

Very beautifil sound! Nice and soft music!
If you interested in my opinion:
It would be great to diversify the rhythm section, work on highlighting the bass and on prioritizing frequencies for each instrument.
And I really want to hear the drum/bass/guitar transitions. It would bring the music to life!-

St. Valentine's Day. Paradoxes ?
I want to confess my love to one gorgeous woman!
Who is she? Famous Russian poetess Zinaida Gippius ? She lilved at the beginning of the 20th century.
I love her poetry, so imaginative, emotional, sometimes daring and shocking... Her poems are imbued with sincerity and sensuality. She wrote her poems like a prayer, and considered this the natural state of the soul of any person.Contemporaries called Zinaida Gippius "Sataness", "real witch", "decadent Madonna" for her peculiar beauty, sharp tongue and courage.
All her life she loved Dmitry Merezhkovsky, and very keenly experienced the death of her husband.While creating another track, I spontaneously decided to use her poem "Paradoxes " and put my voice on the music.
I tried with my voice and sound to convey the mood and contradictory states that Zinaida Gippius embodied through the words.
The composition turned out to be in ambient style, with a predominance of trance and bass pulsations.
At one point, the melody intersects in sound with the previous single "Gifts of Altai".Interested in your opinion, friends! Share and support ❤
It was difficult to work with my own voice - I always like someone else's and staged one ?You can listen to the song in any online service ⏬

Cakewalk needs proper positioning on social media!
I am writing this post not only as a Cakewalk user since 2003, but also as a marketing agency owner and business consultant.
Of all social networks, the Facebook page is the most active https://www.facebook.com/CakewalkInc
But even here there is some boring news about new releases and updates.It's sad to look at Instagram from Cakewalk in general - https://www.instagram.com/cakewalkinc.
Latest news about Cakewalk - 21 October 2019.
Almost 2.5 years of silence from developers in one of the most developing social networks in the world!!! ?Some statistics of Cakewalk on Instagram:
- 194 publications
- 4 921 subscribers
For comparison:
- 478 publications
- 556 thousand subscribers
- 163 publications
- 14.9 thousand subscribers
- 12 publications
- 10.9 thousand subscribers
- 50 publications
- 4 099 subscribers
Another moment. Cakewalk in Instagram needs a separate hashtag that does not overlap with others.
The marketing strategy should consist of:
1. Creating a goal for the year in numbers (attracting users, working with ambassadors, working with strategic partners - manufacturers of midi keyboards, for example).
2. Create an action plan- short videos for social networks
- long videos for youtube
- feature articles and short posts
- expert articles for music magazines
- publications in industry news portals
- creating a content plan
- etc.
Content examples:
- live podcasts and recordings,
- video reviews,
- live broadcasts with famous musicians and sound engineers using the Cakewalk,
- interesting information about the developers and the team itself,
- plans for the development of the program for the year,
- expert articles,
- results of participation in various events,
- etc.
This is just a sketch of ideas and possible activities that I sketched in half an hour ?
I would like the Cakewalk to develop in the Internet space, and new musicians, composers, and sound engineers join it! ?@Morten Saether@Jesse Jost
I am ready, if necessary, to connect to the creation and implementation of a promotion and marketing strategy together with your team! ?
PS. Colleagues, please support the idea with a like!-

Asato, that was quite a journey! There' s a Tremendous amount of cool stuff going on thru out the entire song. If I would have done anything different it would be letting the low throat singing bleed into all of the next passages. I thought some of the stops were a little abrupt. Fantastic production ! I Really enjoyed this .. mark
Mark, it's great to receive such great feedback from you! It's great that you enjoyed this musical journey! I agree with you about the transitions in the compositions, I will work on it in the next singles!

@abacab
And what about my request? You are an expert for me!
Is Roland A300 PRO good for this?QuoteI want to work less with my computer keyboard and mouse in CakeWalk:
- when switching from track to track
- when adjusting volume and panning

@Asato Maa See the reply from msmcleod at the end.
I tried to use Korg nanoKONTROL 2 in CakeWalk. It was a bad experience for me (((
Maybe using Roland A300 PRO will be better choice )))
Or I need to begin study Ableton )))))) -

You probably should describe in specific goals what you need or expect the MIDI keyboard to do for your workflow. Like I mentioned earlier, any MIDI keyboard will send MIDI notes and CC controls to the DAW and virtual instruments without being "integrated". Make music!
Thank you very much for the clear request about the midi keyboard on my part!

I would vote for the Roland A300 PRO, just for the full sized keys (32)...
Thank you for the detailed response!!!
What do you think about Novation Launchkey 37 vs Roland A300 PRO for CakeWalk?I'm tired to find 'ideal' midi-keyboard for me ?

Gifts of Altai
I love mountains. It's extraordinary at night in the mountains! The stars are so huge and close ...
Especially the Altai Mountains in Russia!A lot of memories are connects me with Altai: my first love, traveling, camping and rafting, participation in a music festival, where I heard throat singing for the first time ...
And today the single "Gifts of Altai" for the fourth album of my musical project Asato Maa has been officially published ?
This composition is a touch to something ancient, intimate and mysterious, which gives strength and unites everyone together.
The sound is a synthesis of ethnicity, ambient and Berlin electronics.
You can listen to the song in any streaming service convenient for you below ⏬
I would be glad to have support, feedback and comments! ?

M-audio Oxygen Pro mini 32 vs Roland A300 Pro
Colleagues, help me decide on the choice of a midi keyboard for writing electronics (ambient, lo-fi) ?
- M-audio Oxygen Pro mini 32
- Roland A300 Pro
The price tag is about the same, but what will be more convenient for CakeWalk?M-audio has more spinners and settings, but there are fewer keys. But it also takes up less space.
In Roland A300 Pro, the keys are full-sized, and, as far as I understand, it's a lot more friendly with CakeWalk. There are also a lot of faders and knobs, navigation in the mixer is convenient. But it also takes up more space.Of course, I am a keyboard player so-so)))) But I want to buy a keyboard to make it convenient.
My Novation Launchkey mini is for Ableton. I can't really work with it in CakeWalk.I don't write bits, I'm not going to perform live in the near future)))
What do you say, colleagues? Which one to buy?

Important point! If you have a track active (the white box is on the track name), then the renaming of the track will be activated. You need to use the right keys to move the zone outside the active modules. And everything works!!!
