I don't know what device you are using but on my desktop and tablet those three dots are a different menu than what is used to share a video. In the image below I have outlined the SHARE button and the resulting COPY box in red. So, click the SHARE Button and then click COPY. Then paste that into a post to share the video.

Are you right-clicking a video on YouTube and selecting Copy embed code? If yes, don't do that. Better ways have been posted here on how to post a link to an online video. I use the Share button to copy the video URL because it's simple, elegant, and gives you an option as to where the video will start playing. When pasting the video URL you will have the option of whether or not the video is displayed on the page or just as a link that has to be clicked to go to the web page the video is on. https://youtu.be/9F69etVKuUs?si=nXLlTDzoDS0yuMn3

I have to admit I have never been a fan of Cakewalk's Studio Instruments. If you're using the paid version of Sonar you have Session Drummer, which, IMO, is much superior in every way to the SI Drums. Some free drum plugins I have used and think are also much superior to the SI drums are the Steven Slate SSD 5.5 Drums BFD Player MT Power Drum Kit MODO DRUM CS 1.5 and other IK Multimedia free products If you are looking for something different any of those are a good place to start, but I'd check out Session Drummer first. It's actually 'Session Drummer 3' but shows up as Session Drummer.

Sounds good to me. I do think the snare and kick are a bit monotonous, though. I like to use the Velocity>Randomize or CSHumanize MIDI effects to keep percussion instruments from sounding mechanical, when I don't manually do it in the Piano Roll. The MIDI effect Velocity is included with Sonar but CSHumanize is a third party plugin that has to be downloaded separately. When used judiciously it can be very effective in adding human-like randomness in a MIDI track. I will post a link to it below if you, or anyone else, wants to check it out. CSHumanize MidiFX Plugin

Well, if you right click a pad (or drum piece) you can load any sample you want on there. The Session Drummer 3 samples are in "C:\Program Files\Cakewalk\VstPlugins\Session Drummer 3\Contents\Kits" but you can load any audio file in a supported type from any location, including entire songs.

Very interesting and enjoyable. There was sure a lot going on. The bass frequencies seemed to be taking up a lot of real estate, especially in the beginning. Maybe it's just the way I hear things. I'm always fiddling with the bass in my own projects because I very rarely find a sound I am completely happy with. I hope to upload my most recent project for some fresh ears to check out because I have gone past the realm of psychoacoustics into psychotic acoustics. I'm no longer sure if what I'm hearing is what I hear or what I want to hear. I hate when that happens.

I listened to it again and it does sound much clearer to my ears. Very good job.

In other movies it's the computer telling us what to do, and we do that or it destroys us with lasers.

I recall I stumbled upon it while looking for something else regarding the taskbar. I checked my settings and it's at Settings>Personalization>Taskbar>Taskbar Behaviors>Select the far corner of the taskbar to show the desktop. I guess I could just press Windows Key+D but I can move my mouse cursor anywhere on my three monitors without moving my (left) hand so it's easier than using a Windows shortcut. I'm all about whatever is easiest.

There's a thingy in my taskbar (far right edge) that shows the desktop when I click it. Very handy. I added it so long ago (it's part of Windows) that I forget what it's called.

Sounds complicated. I have my DELETEPICS.BAT file in several Cakewalk locations as well as the desktop. That seems simpler and more my speed. Two mouse-clicks and the picture cache is emptied. That, and I used the Windows Task Scheduler to have it run as a weekly task. All bases covered.

You made a keyboard shortcut in Sonar to execute the .BAT file? I didn't think you could do that.
