probably not in real life. 😜 but i did find a reference to the newst API bits which seem to provide the option to use the parent window settings for the child windows. most likely, it's not something that was critical back when, and possibly few people even noticed. still it would be nice for consistency to leverage parent window UI configuration when possible...

sadly, twice a month or so when MS updates Edge with their latest spyware/adware AI enchancements, many of my logins get reset and i have to re-authenticate. apps using webview and other dependent on the other DLL connectors are sometimes problematic (like Sketchup will crash, and i have to reopen it to find the "please login" screen... ergh) but most seem to handle it ok. most times Sonar spins for a second or two and then says i'm authenticated. probably not the same for all users, and if you're using another browser as your primary, likely they handle things different with their updates to their spyware/adware AI enhancements.

another quick search - it may be our devs didn't use the latest win API calls to set the borders on the child windows to match the parent window 🙂

ok, got it... yes, it would seem like Windows is responsible for floating project windows inside the main app. maybe @Noel Borthwick you could provide some insight? note the borders - and also they both seem to have "active" borders of olde...

closest i can come without messing with my windows settings is the "light" theme. for me, clicking the minimize/maximize button has made no difference to the borders.

what version of windows are you running and are you sure your windows isn't using a "i like the look of the old windows" theme? or some variant of that. this is windows 11 with a minimal borders theme... the gray is my desktop background

same thing happens when i'm near someone's computer they claim is not working properly... 😉

<<crunch crunch>> just eating the popcorn... weird when a bunch of people say "Sonar doesn't do this or that" but 10 other pieces of software work... and yet people endlessly trying to make it do something they say they cannot make it do, instead of simply using the other software to do it... LOL golly pa. the screws keep bending when i use the hammer. i thought you said when you was blind, you picked up the hammer and saw. anyways, i used the saw to act as a fulcrum to lever the screwdriver by hammering on the handle. and look, it's still bending the screws... peace.

for me? i do a lot of guitar repair / customization and maintenance, so for me, it's really easy. if you have not ever replaced a guitar nut, it should still be fairly easy - some key things - CAREFULLY remove the existing nut and GENTLY clean up any glue on the neck. you might need to use an fingernail shaper board to CAREFULLY make sure the surface is even, and then placing the new zero fret nut (the string spacer and fret wire) is easy. you might need to try a few different wires to find which in the set make sense for your instrument and playing style. once you have the right combination, you might need to CAREFULLY file the edges of the fret wire and possible the spacer to get them to sit flush with the edge of the neck. for me - i take them off, file and polish, check fit. if not yet ok, repeat. a final check with the strings under tension and you can either go and CAREFULLY glue it or not. I did not glue mine. the string tension is holding it in place, and because it's fit properly, even changing all the strings at once, it's no effort to readjust, the fret wire once in place does the work.

have you had a luthier examine your guitar? making sure there isn't some issue with the neck? a friends instrument i looked at, someone had tightened the truss rod too much and stripped the threads and it was actually shifting slightly when bending strings. another one (different person), they over tightened the truss rod on their bass and it cracked inside the neck. and when i checked, pieces of wood came out after removing the nut on the rod. swapping out the neck with one of mine quickly proved the neck was the issue and further checking it could not be readily repaired...

i only use the "luthier knot" on my acoustic guitars. mainly because the instructions that came with a set of Martin strings that i had bought about 25+ years ago. otherwise, it's simply over once and then under as Tom noted. as long as the tuners are secure to the neck, and the tightening screws are set correctly, i've never seen a working set of tuners be a problem, even if they're cheap tuners. i find it's mainly string stretching, string wear, whammy bridge sticking when using lots of whammy, or the neck isn't rigid enough under tension.

my guess - they're using an identifier behind the GUI rather than the folder name. i can enter several folders with the same name 🙂 maybe one rationale is to avoid potential collisions and/or duplications? so, if my synth folder i have the same named tracks - do those also end up duplicated? (assuming it functions as older version).

i'm aware. i open them in Melodyne directly so i can review the suggested, well, everything including tempo... sometimes the automatic stuff doesn't quite get everything correct...

one option to capture the timing is to open the audio in Melodyne and export the MIDI which will have the tempo information.

same as before. add the icon into the template project, save it. rename it with template extension. my templates all show their icon as expected, in the newest release:

Audio folders By default, Sonar stores audio data in an \Audio subfolder on a per-project basis. If you don’t immediately name a new project, audio data will temporarily be stored in a special folder called the Global Audio Folder, the location of which is listed in the Global Audio Folder field in Edit > Preferences > File - Audio Data. http://legacy.cakewalk.com/Documentation?product=CakewalkSonar&language=3&help=FileManagement.4.html also, if you're creating a New project from the file menu, you have the option to set a different folder for the audio, and in the back process under the consolidation options, choose a folder. new project dialog: back up http://legacy.cakewalk.com/Documentation?product=CakewalkSonar&language=3&help=FileManagement.7.html#1124610

yeh, not being able to punch in numbers in the UI and only depending on turning knobs or moving sliders makes things much hard than they need to be. maybe enable the editable value boxes for desktop OS and disable for non-desktop OS if that was the intent of making the UI harder to use. imho, honestly the old delay UI was great. finding another dual delay with the same ease of use and even functionality is limited.

using a pipe cleaner with some 800 or higher grit (i use 800 then 1500) polishing compound to pull back and forth through the nut, bridge saddles, and the string ferrules through the body to smooth and polish. i have found on my precision bass, even the badass bridge gets "string dimpled" over time so a quick smoothing works. so while i haven't seen it on my strat it seems possible to get string indentations over time as well (i still polish those every time that i'm also cleaning the neck and polishing frets).

couple of things to check then - if the tuners are tight, it's not likely they're the [main] cause of the guitar going out of tune. i'd first check the nut and bridge to make sure they're smooth and not potentially causing the string tension to change as you play. a rough bridge or nut can cause you to be in tune but as soon as you start playing, the string wrap slips a bit and now it's out of tune. also, a vibrato / tremolo bridge if it's too loose can make tuning painful. personally (on my strat) i seldom use the whammy bar, so i insert a block to set my bridge and then tighten the springs. if i'm doing something where i know i'll be using the whammy bar, i'll remove the block and loosen the springs so that the bridge is still mainly stable but can move enough also. the PRS site has some tutorials on adjusting this. lastly - making sure you stretch your strings sufficiently after changing them will help (a lot) to stablize the tuning.

i miss my DR-008 as well. and the Geist replacement is 150­£ (or €) 😞 i know i can install it from my old install disks, but i have other options now. but it was a slick bit of synth/sampler

never sat in rush hour traffic in the NYC area then... LOL. we all need flying cars. agreed, many musicial types of people are as dedicated and creative. and some are even using much less capable equipment than commonly available DAW etc. at the end of the day, it's about the song. regardless of it someone simply singing it, or an orchestra. and then, what is the criteria? most popular? least popular? loudest? fastest? most notes? least notes? a number of notes which reflect being one with the universe? many people think Miles Davis was the last step in all future musical progress. i think it was Jeff Beck.

what's a three letter abbreviation for IBM? a company i worked for had it listed as MMB (they simply took all computer related items and starting with AAA just assigned them a 3 letter abbreviation... and you have to use the look up chart to find the "official" abbreviation if you wanted service or new gear) i'd call it the "yellow abbey magical pepper machine"... although someone would likely turn it into a porno... 😈

sorry - SoundID Voice AI https://www.sonarworks.com/soundid-produce/voiceai my guess is the sale is over 😞 mine came with like 30 voices and a dozen instruments.

if using the command center to install, just select the FX components rather than the entire DAW (unless of course you want to). it's how i installed all my older stuff into my new laptop without have all the DAW programs.

this one?
