If you'd started reading this thread 44 minutes ago, you'd have your answer by now.

This is really great work! At the risk of sounding like I'm contradicting myself, I recommend adding a touch of color back: Pastel shades of Yellow, Green, and pink for the Mute/Solo/RecArm etc. You'll retain the high contrast but you can also help distinguish the buttons from each other. It's a fine balance. Or, feel free to ignore me. It's your work and you have a vision.

Um... color me interested. How do I take advantage of this? Do I have to subscribe to Plugin Alliance for a month? Not a problem if so, just curious.

I, for one, have enjoyed the FIVE YEARS of "free subscription" to the Cakewalk DAW that Bandlab actually gave us.

Very nice, Grebz. I would make the SOLO and MUTE button icons to be less similar - frankly M and S are pretty good and distinct. Also the "off" state could be even less bright, the green in particular. Otherwise, nice work

EDIT: Dead horse, already dead, almost unrecognizable. Sorry.

Has any representative from Bandlab actually described Sonar as such? I've seen "High DPI support" and "vector graphics" but i have not seen "scalable". Just tempering our expectations here.

I'm currently in the market for a new DAW hardware and I'm tempted. My M2 Macbook air runs Da Vinci Resolve like its nothing (just home movie editing)

Team Sublime Text here. And the logo is ORANGE, so it's got that going for it.

I'm sure someone at Gibson will be glad to take your call.

Anyone else completely out of patience with threads like this? How about you all just wait and see, on features; on pricing; and my god no good deed ever goes unpunished. "I can't believe this fully-featured product is now free! How wonderful" *record scratch* "I can't believe they have the gall to even hint that future updates might involve a transfer of funds! How dare they!" JFC.

Please don't limit us to "Dark Mode" only

> So what is better for music production It depends but I think the priority is something like this: 1. CPU Speed 2. Number of Cores 3. SSD all the way 4. RAM Oh, and wild card: 0. Motherboard supports hardware of your audio interface of choice (i.e.a free PCIe slot), and room in the case

Mike is a nice guy but recently his videos have definitely moved into the clickbaity borderline shill category. This is pretty typical, once the number of subscribers hits a certain value, there are folks who can quit their day job and concentrate on videos and there is a lot of opportunity. Check out Benn's take for some background on this: (I am not saying Mike/Creative Sauce is in this category)

...people are paying money for those?!?

Probably read snarkier than I intended when I wrote it.

Seriously folks, https://bandlab.github.io/cakewalk/docs/Cakewalk Reference Guide.pdf and Ctrl-F

From the manual:

Although I'm not convinced Workspaces are at the root of the problem you're experiencing, I recommend going here and Ctrl-F for "Workspace" https://bandlab.github.io/cakewalk/docs/Cakewalk Reference Guide.pdf

Anyone who is actually beta-testing the forthcoming release (if it exists) almost certainly isn't allowed to post about it publicly... so take some of these posts with a grain of salt and a low-pass filter, if you haven't already figured this out ?

That's a relief, because that part of the manual was way out of my comfort zone. Long shot, it was. Fantastic that you've solved your MIDI record problem. Now you can get back to actually making music.

I get that you're looking for Black Text on White Background.. does this mean that the default Tungsten theme doesn't work for you? It is pretty good high-contrast, the only "problem" is that it is Bright-On-Dark. Is that out of the question for your visual impediment? Just curious.

> Could I perform a test with my computer keyboard acting as note duration triggers? Not really - it wouldn't test the MIDI interface. We have a very similar set up - I use an original Roland SPD-20 with a snare, kick and hi-hat pedal, driving AD2 via a Focusrite 6i6.

If we take away one of the DAW s you haven't chosen, does it make sense to switch to a different one?

I guess those isolated tracks are from the 5.1 DVD release? Interesting hearing the individual parts more clearly.
