SPlat also has a Theme Editor so you can tweak CbB themes to fit as some images are different or non existent. For giggles Theme Editor even shows up in Sonar 8's Tools Menu. Funny how some DAWs have quite the following for custom themes while other DAWs could care less. Mixcraft is almost 100% user customizable and even looks designed to support it in the preferences, but it's maker and most users have no interest in it. Seems LUNA has but one user who makes and posts skins for it. Reaper users have been doing it from the beginning, I think. MOTU DP has several "colorful" themes made in-house. These 4 have image folders you can easily access.

CbB is only 400 - 600 MB. If you need the space you can delete the Cakewalk Core folders leaving the registry alone. Otherwise, uninstall Sonar, uninstall CbB, then reinstall Sonar.

I was expecting something more like "New Sonar Colors for Dummies and Old Men with Poor Eyesight!"

I normally use this method but have always been curious what settings it uses since it gose straight to file saving.

In CbB Inspector Track Description box and Track Take Lane Notes box, typing an "=" sign results in "+=". Browser Notes Browser works as expected. Only matters if it also happens in Sonar.

It will:

Thanks. I've signed in thru CbB many times, closed CbB, then reopened CbB a little later and found I'm logged out. Seems it logs me out more often than it leaves me logged in. Wondering what would cause that.

Sorry . . .

When you sign in to BandLab from Sonar/CbB help menu, does closing Sonar/CbB automatically sign you out of BandLab? It does for me almost 99% of the time.

You also need to be on version 2024.12 as earlier versions won't activate.

Too much Rocky & Bullwinkle will do that.

Would be nice if clicking on the Function header alphabetized the list. I see it kinda tries to but not quite.

You can if you go to the folder I referenced and replace the images there. Not the same as right-clicking to load a new one but these weren't meant to be changed that way and I'm not sure they would go thru the trouble to do that for a single plug-in. If you do edit the images you should backup the originals.

Entire GUI images are stored in C:\Program Files\Cakewalk\Vstplugins\Session Drummer 3\Resources folder and can be customized at will. Drum thumbs are 3-state images that simulate motion.

Theme Editor started life as SONAR Plus Skin Editor for X1 back in 2011 by Ben Staton but was never developed to a useable state. Then Cakewalk acquired it for SPlat and CbB. I still have it somewhere but it's not really useable. Theme Editor for SPlat was also never fully developed but is still useable. The most developed version was for CbB but it will be useless after next month. Would be cool if it could be revamped for use with X1 thru SPlat.

You mean like this: A flashing animated gif would be more fun.

https://legacy.cakewalk.com/Documentation?product=CakewalkSonar&language=3&help=AudioPerformance.06.html After Aug 2025, CbB won't render at any bit setting.

That's because it's part of the Clip which is pre-gain. As shown in the chart, Cakewalk treats recorded clips and softsynths as the input signal for a track, not the actual input from your interface, as one might expect.

Using factory presets, but I did check a few of them to no avail. So far deleting BREVERB and reinstalling it is working. If it keeps behaving thru tomorrow I'll mark the title solved.

It will open with the words Not activated in the Tools Module: You should also see a red Toast warning.

Yes There's at least 4 locations to put FX plugins: 1) Track FX Rack ("bin" is the old term). Displayed in TV & CV 2) Bus FX Rack. Displayed in TV & CV 3) Track Clip FX. Displayed in TV 4) ProChannel FX Chain. Displayed in CV BTW, I think this signal flow chart is one of the more confusing to figure out.

Thanks. Restored the system to an earlier date than the update and reran WU. Then checked and reinstalled MOTU drivers which were already up to date. So far no beeps. Narrowed the fuzz down to BREVERB, which is in most projects. Not sure why it's fuzzing all of a sudden but turning it off clears the issue so hopefully reinstalling it will be the fix.

Now happens with every project after the latest Windows update. Will try removing it.

. . . when CbB does? Or will it remain like the old forum somewhere in the archives of webland?
