Chaps

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.

That's a very good question so I checked it out. If the text in the .BAT file has NO quotation marks no files are deleted when I double click the .BAT file If the text has ONE quotation mark all files are deleted. If the text has TWO quotation marks (Quote-End Quote) all files are deleted. Why this is so I am not qualified to answer. All I did was make the file according to instructions I found online years ago. Because it worked as desired I never gave it another thought. None of those deletes folders, only files.

It's been so long since I've seen a SATA 2 cable that I had forgotten the difference.

Look for the buttons I have labeled in the edited image (of your screenshot) below in views that can be docked/undocked. They are in different areas depending on the view's type and state. Left click them to see the options.

I just want to add that if the Track Inspector is undocked the 'i' keyboard shortcut will bring it into view even if the Console View is full screen. The Track Inspector will stay in whatever place you put it so it is possible to have it mimic a strip in the Console View when it is visible.

Those look like standard SATA data and power connectors. They are compatible with the HDD you posted a link to.

Which sounds are you previewing? I've tried some samples in the audio library and samples in the BandLab Sounds using the Sonar browser and so far the up arrow works just as well as the down arrow. If it were me I would try to rule out any mechanical problem, like a stuck key, or a low battery in a wireless keyboard, that was affecting the behavior of the cursor arrows. Is the down key working as expected in other areas, like your Internet browser, like on this page? I know that isn't very helpful but it's all I can think of.

Just to clarify, which shortcut key are you using? Are your other shortcut keys working? Is it possible your track inspector is collapsed and the shortcut key doesn't expand it? Is the drag bar there to expand it manually? Is it possible that it is undocked and not visible? These are the first things I would check if it happened to me.

Sounds very good. If I had to come up with any kind of criticism it would be that the acoustic guitar sounds a little bass-y. Sounds better than anything I've been working on lately, that's for sure.
