I have that same keyboard and can stretch out a 12th with my left hand... 🤪

I'm no expert, but doesn't (Busy) on each clip mean something is rendering?

I'm fortunate that my aging eyes still work fine so the paid Sonar is workable. BUT, I totally agree that being able to customize (not "theme") colors of basic things as mentioned above would be helpful for most of us. I'm not a programmer, but as @Starship Krupa mentions, the color options seem to be there and just need to be made available to us. I think the Bakers are doing a great job, are very responsive, and likely aware that this is of great interest to a significant number of users, so hopefully it is on the ToDo list...

Thanks @David Baay but this seems counterintuitive to me, as (I think) most Windows apps will prompt if you type anything (i.e. alter the document) and then try and close. As a test, did it in Wordpad, Word, Excel, etc. and they all prompted if I just opened a new document, typed text and tried to close (without hitting Enter, etc.).

Seems like a bug - can anyone reproduce? > Open a project > Immediately Click on the Notes tab of the Browser, then type some text in the Notes field (don't do anything other than Click/Type) > Close Sonar (either by File/Close or click X in upper right) You don't get prompted to Save Changes and the Notes are lost (i.e., reopen the Project and they're gone). However, if you enter some text in the Notes field and then click anywhere else (taking the focus away from the Notes field) you do get prompted to Save changes.

Agree 1000% We had a great DAW that was abandoned. Got a wonderful, unexpected reprieve when it was rescued - and then given away and supported(!) - for FREE for (about?) 8 years. Now, we have (IMO) a BETTER DAW, that will (hopefully) start getting mainstream attention - plus there is still a FREE version! Don't think a rational person could ask for anything more. Thanks Meng - and THANKS for all the hard work the Bakers continue doing. At this rate, won't be long before Cakewalk Sonar is the gold standard of DAWs (my humble opinion :^)

Great advice and insight. I’ve been a subscriber for a while and Joe makes quality stuff. He was so talking to me! I will make it a point to do my best to put his advice to work.

This image is from another thread but it proves that my aging eyes need LOTS of screen real estate... 😁

Hi @Scott R. Garrigus. I have 2 of your Sonar books (love them). More tips / tutorials would be most appreciated!

I like the look as well. As stated, takes a short time to acclimate, but it's nice and clean. And I think it will get better and better as the Bakers work their magic!

GREAT song, and they have many others too!

I mentioned this in a similar post. Hope it gets implemented soon… https://discuss.cakewalk.com/topic/74021-feature-request-sticky-menu-screen-when-changing-plug-in-layouts/

@Bapu did you use Suno for the song? I agree that AI could be very useful as an idea generator or demo creator.
