HOOK

I only fix I could find was to augment my workspace to show more fx slots and send slots than I typically ever use...and I just don't have to think about it any more. I mean....and there's STILL 20% wasted space on my console screen.

This is probably your best bet if that driver isn't up to snuff. But... Out of curiosity....does this update apply to your TD-27...and have you installed it yet? Sorry. Couldn't post a link.

The UA instruments I have show up in the browser.

Neither am I. I presumed Noel was talking about the higher bitrates, specifically.

@Noel Borthwick Nope....still having the same issue. 8.29 MB file. Next set up at 96k. Were you wanting different settings?

Yes. I just set up a new project. Dropped in 6 snare hits. This quirk is still in the newest version of Sonar.

New PM sent.

I'll work on getting a project up and I'll send you the link via PM as well. I'm not certain if this is just in new or older projects. I don't currently have access to new projects to test. I can take a look after 3:00 CST.

All of that stuff is available for download on the Product Center. Make sure you click on the "Show Add-ons" button.

Yeah...that's happening here too. I would have never caught it because I use velocity tails on the notes themselves...and I never open the velocity window. You should submit the bug report. 20241211-1847-36.7957288.mp4

Yeah...as I said. That's setting the color of the channel/track. And honestly, these color themes are so bad that there's only I I can even stand to work in. It's a shame because some of the new ones would be nice if I could only change one or two minor colors. Hopefully they're getting enough done on the performance side that they can soon find time to give back a little user control of these landmarks.

Got it. That explains why I can control just about everything when I quick group my permanent groups - except for the fader. Typically, my permanent groups are simply for tying faders together. Thanks for explaining that.

Sorry, @Noel Borthwick. I don't quite grasp what you're saying in that second sentence. Thanks.

In the Piano Roll View, looks like the midi data color follows the color assigned to the channel - so you can change it there. But no control over the background that I've found.

Sonar 5. Loved that version. And I think people forget the MSRP on that was about $800. And you didn't get it free for 5 years. Hell...I spent $450 for CWPA 4.0 in 1996(ish). I was already $1,000 on Cakewalk software by the time Sonar 5 came out. Found this on the web: Sonar 5 Producer Edition is $799MSRP. Sonar 5 Studio Edition is $479 and both are now shipping. Registered Sonar 4 Producer customers can upgrade to Sonar 5 Producer Edition directly through Cakewalk for $179. I also had to walk home barefooted in the snow, uphill, both ways.

Page 299 is where the discussion on solo modes begins. https://bandlab.github.io/cakewalk/docs/Cakewalk Reference Guide.pdf

Thanks, David. The Aux track is an obvious option for an intermediary place to control volume for these groups but I prefer to not. I'm old. A bus doesn't belong in the middle of a mixer...lol. 🤷‍♂️ But it looks like you basically ran down the same exhaustive list of reasons I did as to why I can't do what I want in this situation. It's fine. I just wanted to know if anyone saw that I was missing a hotkey option or something to temporarily override the group. Thanks.

Curiously though...with my misunderstanding of your original response....I WAS able to control gain on groups A, B and C with a quick group. And I've never played with it like this before, but it looks like I can do just about anything with the quick group, but I can't do fader....the only thing I want to do....lol.

Yes, David. I changed my response because I originally read your response to mean the GAIN on each individual channel...not the bus. Yes. I know faders will also effect the FX bin on the bus.

You do have a point there. But the problem still remains if I have 12 groups and only want to turn up 6 of them. It happens frequently.

In short, no. They deleted those abilities in the new Sonar. Sorry. You might have to switch to changing the background or foreground colors of the clips. You're not alone.

I have a general workflow that utilizes groups for stereo pairs of guitars. Often, I'll have layers of stereo pairs of guitars - some with different amps or different guitars. And sometimes harmonies. Tracks: 1&2 might be group A Tracks: 3&4 might be group B Tracks: 5&6 might be group C Generally, these will all run through a stereo bus on the way to the master bus. Now, there are times where I want to simply manually move all 6 of those faders up or down at the same time without moving the fader on the bus. BUT - Quick Grouping will not allow for that. However...if I happen to have a single channel in that quick group along with the other groups, it WILL allow me to move all faders as a group, as long as I'm Ctrl+click+dragging on that single fader. Am I missing a hot-key or something to allow a Quick Grouped movement of several grouped pairs of faders? thx

🤣 Great minds think alike. Those are the two EXACT reasons I shut off Crtl+N!

That drum grid vertical velocity handle on the note is literally one of about 3 unique things that Cakewalk does that keeps me from walking away.
