This is on their list but with no specific timeline. The support team responded very fast, they said they will address the issue to the bakers so that they can prioritize enhancements for MIDI usability and customization. I hope they can make that addition soon enough regardless of when the new Theme Editor will be available

Well i get confused because the Theme Editor as an external app was introduced with Cbb. Before that we could customize colors in the preferences inside Sonar. I always think they are two different things. And even so, we still get to change the continuous events. Why is the rest of the list skipped at this point? The designers have done an excellent job generally, easy to read menus in certain color schemes, clearer view etc. but they should be tested with editing polyphonic midi tracks or tracks with a lot of midi info for hours, with deadlines over their heads and see if the existing environment would be eye friendly enough Btw my eyes have aged faster than me due to long hours of work on the computer (i think)

I don't understand why this is a missing feature. Something that CbB already has and it has nothing to do with the theme editor. It can be found in the preferences inside CbB. It's serious enough for me to regret paying for new Sonar because I'm not able to work like that. People should also have in mind those of us who spend really long hours working and take care of our views and brain for that matter. I've read a lot about the workflow in Sonar, what workflow if basic configurations are not there? Switching between color schemes? Is that a workflow upgrade? And if they only prioritize performance, how many months will it take to fix the issue, therefore how many months of wasted payment if I'm not able to use it? Sorry for my rant but I'm really frustrated. Having the paid version but preferring the free one is not ok

Preferences, Customization, Colors, this is what I'm talking about. The fact that there is no option to configure the color layout of the Piano Roll View

Well, I've just started customizing Sonar with the settings I use in CbB and found out that there is no way to customize or import colours for the Piano Roll view. There is no choice to work with the Background etc. Since I work a lot with midi, I had managed to make it look like Sonar 8.5 because darker schemes trouble my eyes and make my life difficult. Will this feature be added please? I thought there would be more flexibility in new Sonar. Unless I'm missing something in the process and haven't figured it out yet. If so any advice would be appreciated

Ι think you saved my day ?

Thank you but that doesn't help. What I want is to immediately focus on the selected track when i switch from track view to piano roll. Can this be done by selecting a clip and pressing D or do I always have to follow: Double click the clip and then shift+D for full screen? 2 goals here: getting to full screen and to the data of the specific track quickly

Hi. I'm new to bandlab but not to cakewalk, kept working with Sonar 8.5 for a long time. I'm trying to get used to the new shortcuts to move between track view and piano roll. If I double click the midi clip I get to docked Piano roll and need to press shift+D as well to get to full screen view When full screen is the previous setting I choose a midi clip again while in track view and press simply D and here is what happens: I see previous midi tracks as well as the one I've selected. And then I need to go to tracks tab and choose "Clear Track Selection" so I can focus to that particular track. Is there a setting I'm missing here and I see the other unwanted midi data? I just want to see the selected midi track data Needless to say that by double clicking a midi clip in Sonar i would get a full screen Piano Roll of the selected track without any further moves to achieve that and also no matter where the now time was it would get straight to that clip's time Thank you in advance

Weather tracks were empty or not, it wasn't a problem in Sonar 8,5 for example. Delete Hole meant shift by whole measures no matter what. It's the measure you want to get rid off and choose what happens to events accordingly. Not all tracks have data at the same time, this is not ok I just switched a two months ago and the workflow shows that in Bandlab you need 1 or 2 steps more to get what you want. Not very happy about it

I think the problem happens when you don't have a separate midi track for each output. I thought my copies would be valid with hidden midi data copied as well. I will try to duplicate though my main concern is clips. I still have some HDD drives streaming audio and loading/unloading time can be frustrating

While it is convenient, when adding kontakt for example, to use the advanced dialog "Instrument Track Per Output" I have 2 issues. 1) It takes a lot of time to freeze or unfreeze when the tracks are more than 3 or 4 2) Coping these frozen tracks/clips (that appear only as audio) doesn't include the midi file so when I unfreeze my copied parts disappear. Is there a solution for that ? Unfreezing takes also a lot of time so I would like to avoid it. I do this from the Add Track menu and simple instrument tracks are created. I didn't use this method before
