I don't really understand this statement. You could have a terminology problem. Can you describe in more detail your configuration? What audio interface you are using? What is the "amp device", what model? Plugin? Is the crackle always in the same parts of the playback, or random and different each time?

Audiority has an Octaver pedal plugin, super cheap until the end of the month,

@Lynn Wilson, try again please. I changed the link from "http" to "https" and this has made a difference in other cases. I confess I don't know why some folks have problems with plain http so I try to remember to always use https on the URL. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Thanks for double-checking my evaluation of this behavior, Starship. I would agree that Cakewalk's default appearance of the 6 impressions in the button stack is sub-optimal, I do believe that Cakewalk is using them apporpriately. Please review the screencap above (I have refreshed it using the latest version of Flight Deck) and tell me if you still agree with your statement.

I have to disagree. The UI is telling you something, and you're choosing to ignore it. CbB is NOT in the same state. We can debate about whether it is useful or not, but the fact remains, the state of the track is different and it is informing you: the opposite of poor UI. Mute button behavior is not relevant here.

@Kevin Perry, lanes don't exist until you expand them for the first time. Then that track has a lane associated with it, and the button changes to reflect this. This behavior is one of the things I try to highlight in my themes:

Not possible at present. Feel free to submit a feature request in the Feedback Loop Forum.

Nice ... backs up my findings from March. It sure would be cool to support PEEL and other multi-out effects in Cakewalk in the future.

Thank you for man-ual-splaining for us. ?

Reddit and YouTube are full of young new users. I try to direct them here when appropriate, in order that they might take advantage of the knowledge base here.

Thanks for this, @Starship Krupa, I've added it to the YLIP for the next update. >> I can't think of anywhere else in the UI that pressing on an already selected button results in an image change Try Track View / Add Track Flyout / Checkbox. Also any of the Track Pane MSR buttons, specifically Track view / Track Pane / Mute as documented in the YLIP.

ZIP has been updated with v.1.0.1 containing revised Mix Module images for Clear Write Automation, and slightly enhanced white-on-black text on other Control Bar Module buttons.

CakeHulk by Bandlab? For that "smash" hit.

Learning about Ctrl-Shift-C in Paint.NET really sped things up for me, to the point where I keep my sources as multi-layer, with the bottom layer retaining the original Mercury image, marked as hidden. Not that I'm planning another theme (I have too many already!) but my workflow is very optimized now. Re: Clear Automation Write Huh. Thanks! How did I miss that. Not the white rectangle - I did that deliberately because I couldn't see how the image was used. I even wrote a note in YLIP about it. But it is pretty obvious that it IS used, now that you point it out. I will fix this in 1.0.1. Re: Prev/Next on Black It looks OK to me but I'm using Windows 10 Display Scaling at 125% and it may be obscuring some artifacts. I'll take a look at refining the options I used for the white-on-black text on those buttons (Including Snap, Punch, Select, etc) and see if I can improve it. Incidentally, Mercury and Tungsten use the same button style for these Control Bar modules, but I made some choices about whether I used a black+LED push button or a light-em-up indicator based on whether the button-push made a change or was merely an On/Off indicator for a feature. I think it is intuitive, and works interactively. Thanks again.

Verified compatible with Cakewalk 2021.04 Update #1. ZIP refreshed just in case.

I've released version 1. No theme is ever complete. This one is in pretty good shape. Have at it, and stick the landings.

Oh, okay then. ZIP updated.

Ladies and Gentlemen, Please return your seat to the upright position, and ensure your seat belts are fastened. Or alternatively, come and join me on the FLIGHT DECK. Crisp, clear, and all business, with twin engine power. You'll KNOW you're in control. Along with the usual appointments from the House of Colin, we have some additional fettling work in the areas of Piano Roll View Track Pane, Icons, and Send UI. Inspired by a Cessna CJ4 in MS Flight Simulator, but based on the Mercury theme, so if you're a practitioner of the dark arts, this one may not be for you. But please. take her for a spin - you may be surprised at the performance. FLIGHT_DECK.zip Updated 2021.12: refreshed Folder Archive button

Interesting idea.

Updated 2021.05.18 Revised for the changes in 2021.04 Update 1 (build 175). The Add/Delete/Properties buttons from the old Tempo View that were re-used in Meter/Key, Markers and Events views are now under Meter/Key. Images and documentation revised to match.

Your screenshot is not available to me and I don't know what element you're referring to. Try using the Windows Clipping tool to paste an image directly into your forum post - it works great for small images

Oh, um, nothing specific. Just greater contrast I think. I love me a light theme but it does make it harder to push things into the foreground of awareness.

You can press Ctrl+Shift+C to copy a merged version of all current layers. This means you can edit a multi-layer graphic and copy and paste directly into Theme Editor without having to do a layer merge down first. This has saved me a lot of time and I wished I'd learned about it 12 months ago.
