I love Frozen Plain, curious about sound samples of this one EDIT: Ah, here are some

Some kind of coherent narrative can help with the response count

For the love of god, let it go Good News: you are entitled to upgrade to the new Sonar for a very low price.

Congratulations, Cakewalk -BandlabTeam!

I don't get this. I mean, sure, custom theming is not supported (yet, cross fingers) but the Mercury Classic color scheme is near as identical to Mercury in Cakewalk By Bandlab.

Some VST plugins manage their own presets and have their own locations. Cakewalk's VST subsystem has its own way of saving presets, available from the VST window header, which works for ALL plugins and of course which works great for plugins that don't do their own preset management and rely on the host's capabilities. Yeah, preset management is a pain, I feel you

Color customization is not possible currently in the new Sonar.

My DAW is frozen at a relatively older version of Windows 10 and I've never had any issues whatsoever. Microsoft ended support of it years ago. The sky is still blue and the sun comes up in the morning.

Today I learned. Thanks!

Uh, okay! I would never to this, but if it is working for you, great! there's always multiple ways to get things done. Respect.

Did you save the session with a known name to a known location? Portable hard drive no longer connected? Search your drives for the file name, or heck, *.cwp? If Sonar didn't actually crash or show an error , then I bet the .cwp does exist somewhere.

I don't know why they are not freezing but that sounds like a sub-optimal way to achieve your end-goal. You really have a separate instance of AD2 per drum ? Any reason why you are not using a single virtual instrument track for AD2, driving it by multiple MIDI tracks? Just one instance of AD2?

Oh - and we can still fire up CbB and load themes as a source of inspiration, going forward. That hasn't gone away.

Shucks Erik, thank you. It's amazing what you can achieve when you are between jobs and have people appreciating your efforts. I echo your sentiments. I've been mourning the loss of theming also, but looking forward to what is coming - cross fingers - with respect to color customization in New Sonar. However for those of you expecting a "Young Lady's Primer to Color Theming in New Sonar", please don't hold your breath waiting for it 😄
