What!? No, you're kidding, I gotta check that out! Thanks scook! ? EDIT: While I'm using the keyboard shortcuts, I'm waiting for buttons and/or indicators to make it easier to see the current setting.

Good ideas, all! While we are wishing - could we have button sfor "Enable/disable looping" and "Preview at host tempo"? I change these options A LOT and having them hidden in a menu is very slow...

A more deeply integrated sampler, like the Sampler Track in Cubase, would be awesome! Have a look:

Good idea!

Hm, could the clips vs. regions thing be a DAW-caused difference in semantics? Clips are called regions in another DAW?

Heh, yeah it can be VERY confusing when there are multiple meanings attributed to the same word! And it's kind of annoying, as it's making language less precise... If it's a client, one should probably double-check... "Do you know what you're asking for, or do you only think you know what you're asking for?"

As Craig said, the concept of "stems" or "stem files" most often means submixes, for example a vocal stem would be multiple vocal tracks submixed in a single WAV file. No magic, nothing special. Although I've seen in some interviews with (younger) mix engineers in Sound On Sound using the word "stems" when referring to individual audio tracks. I don't see the point in that - if you need the individual audio files for a project, ask for the individual audio files! If you need stems, ask for stems.

I mainly use Channel Tools for quickly and conveniently delaying the left or right channel in a stereo file for a Haas effect. As far as I can tell, none of the alternatives mentioned previously (also listed below) seem to be able to do that? ?

Could someone please post a screenshot of it? I haven't upgraded by am curious...

Thanks for the replies, folks! Wow! ? I've been focusing on music instead of switching to CbB yet, simultaneously also kind of waiting for a major improvement to motivate me to invest time to install it. But this small change just might be it! (Although I am also very hopeful something interesting for Cakewalk might be unveiled at NAMM later this month!) EDIT: Is this old "New features" page being phased out, or maybe it's just not yet updated? https://www.cakewalk.com/Documentation?product=Cakewalk&language=3&help=NewFeatures.01.html

Great! Any other interesting fixes/additions in 2019.01? Is there a list yet?

I have been using the free software Veeam Agent for Windows, it's from Swiss company Veeam, they are big in corporate backup solutions. Veeam Agent for Windows is their free "endpoint" backup solution and you can use it backup entire computers, volumes or on file level. I use it to backup selected folders, including Cakewalk/Sonar projects, on a weekly basis to an external USB-drive. It allows you to keep a selected number of file versions and it allows you to easily use two different USB-drives, if you have another drive you keep off-site and update only occasionally. It's been rock stable, easy to use and a lot better than some backup software I bought... (I'm looking at you, Genie Backup Manager Home... )
