What is this black shadow that follows the mouse in the clip pane of the track view. This behavior has been around for many months or so. Same in CbB. Look at the black shadow in bar 1. Bar 2 to the end has the typical timeline selection shadow. I included that so no one thinks it's that. When this happens, it follows my mouse movement. I'm not even sure how or why it happens. It's hard to stop it from doing this when it starts. Has anyone seen this? When this happens, when I move my moue across the screen, the shadow get's longer until I stop moving my mouse. It only is seen in the clip pane

To me it's not esthetics at all. It's workflow, being able to find things quickly to make adjustments. With the current color schemes, it would help immensely to be able to use elements of one color scheme in another one, because some schemes are very good for one thing, but bad for another. I hope they address this and agree, this should not have been released, saying it was better than CbB. Even with Platinum and CbB the Theme editor wasn't able to make Volume, Gain, and Pan different colors like Cakewalk 8.5, which made it so easy to quickly adjust these parameters. To me Sonar fails miserably with the color Schemes. I'm pleased with everything else. Here's my CbB theme

I've been using Free Sonar, so far so good

On 8/2 I can still save in CbB. I wonder when the activation will expire?

This is even better than the console view workaround, because it's a real solution. Setting the Workplace as advanced puts the FX bin to the left in the Inspector like 8.5, but selecting None puts the FX bin in the track pane like's it's supposed to be. Thanks for completely solving this. That a good tip to remember when something goes haywire put Workspaces as None

Yes you can select Custom or All - same bad result

Good workaround. I can see the FX bins in the Console view. It's better to maximize it so you can see all the FX - good find!

Another good point as to why we need a theme editor. I've run into the same problem in midi editing. I hope they are working to make this better for us. I haven't heard anything about improving the display

Yes I clicked on All in the track view, it opens a window and you choose Track control manager and then you see what my pic shows. With the track control manager open, it defaults to Custom, since you can't edit All

I've tried Custom, in fact that's what the file was saved as. You can clearly see in the pic the the FX is checked, but it's not showing up

I've tried All and it makes no difference. Can you open that file and see what happens?

I agree, my biggest complaint is not having options for changing things we see, like we had in the old theme editor. Users would share their themes and you could tweak them with the Theme Editor. My workflow has been slowed down by not seeing things as clearly. The different colors really help immensely. It's not a question of just getting used to the new Sonar. Here's my Theme in CbB

Here's a screenshot of Platinum 32 bit, the latest version we had. You can see the FX bins is checked in the Track Control Manager. Even if I open up that track fully or maximize it, the FX bins don't show up And I'm including the problem file, see if you can open it and see if the Inspector shows FX like 8.5 32 bit. PATCHEN SUNDOWN 17.cwp

In 8.5 the FX are shown in the Inspector on the left side. 32 bit platinum must have changed it to the FX bins. Is there a way to do this or do I have to open it in 32 bit 8.5? These are DX FX

I think I found the problem. Actually, this project was started in 2007 when I was using Waves DX plugins. I didn't stop using DX and going to VST plugins for Waves until 2011. So everyone is correct I can use 32bit Waves VST's with CbB and Sonar as I have been for 10 years. Fortunately, I have Cakewalk 8.5 installed that can handle the old DX plugins
