Tried to update 6.2.0 with Assistant only for it to keep vanishing w/o doing anything. Please explain how to update. Appears after closing it, it's still hanging in memory and needs a forced quit in Task Manager. Wonder if/when this will be fixed?

i also use the old one... with a face lift.

Most of a .wrk or .cwp file info is coded so unless you can decode it there's not a lot of info to glean from it.

Or at least add a right-click menu to copy to clipboard. Same for all text type views.

NON-Segmented meter colors are changeable but use the same colors for both MIDI & Audio tracks. Preferences>Customization>Audio Meters is misleading as it affects both MIDI & Audio meters. (Edited...)

S7 = Sonar 7. If both S7 & CbB projects are set up exactly the same using the same .mid file with different results, wouldn't one conclude the 2 programs are handing things differently?

Confirmed here. It will do it at the beginning of the clip also if pedal down is the first action while recording. You can drag the ends out to see the cc data but not even bouncing will fix the clip visually. FWIW, SPlat does the same thing.

+1 for non segmented meters. Segmented meters (png's) can be repainted different colors already. I use blue for MIDI & orange or green for audio.

I'd check the main ins file to see if your gear is listed & correct. Then set the Bank & Patch & MIDI channel to the sound you want. In my case I had to create my own ins file and only have issues when a track or project goes funky. Also, try opening the S7 project in CbB, save as new, then close & reopen.

Same with other Cakewalk FXs like MIDI FX suite. They're a bit easier to dress up than Sonitus group but all need reedited after each CbB update. Which makes it a hassle to keep up with. Dimension, Rapture, and the SI suite were made to modify & all files are in a Resources folder. CWRES files even allow you to rearrange GUI layout. The only way to share these types is to upload the actual plugin which may or may not infringe on the EULA.

This may be the case as I don't have near the issues with other programs or DAWs. I suspect the more exclusive and "professional" your set up is the fewer issues you'll have. Mine is a budget system used for everything I do so I expect trouble now and then.

It should work if it's connected to a sound source/instrument.

A lot of us experience crashes. We either don't tell anyone or get bashed over the head for being stupid when we do. ? Either way, I've never gone a day over the last 20 years using Sonar/Cakewalk on various platforms when it doesn't crash for some unknown reason. I've spent entire days trying to figure out why only to have it working fine again on it's own. It needs no reason. Daily crashes. Monthly blue screens. May be 2 reason why the professional world hasn't taken it seriously. I don't blame it totally because bad memory, USB, and other external factors play a hand. Beyond crashing, it loves to hang in memory and not open because I have a standalone VSTi already open. Closing the VSTi and reopening CbB/Sonar does not work. The entire system has to be shut down and rebooted first. ?? I still prefer it over other DAWs!

Hi murat k., I like some but not all the features. Are they selectable or are they all ON all the time?

Yes, you can click on the lower 1/2 of the Time Ruler to set the Now Time (the upper 1/2 is reserved for zooming in and out at the cursor's point when it turns into a magnifying glass). You can also click anywhere in a track's empty space (void of clips). You can also click anywhere in the lower empty space below all the tracks.

1 or 2 points bigger would do it for me. @marled You mean the vertical now time line?

The problem for me is the font size in relation to the whole GUI. Making everything bigger just to see a few numerical digits is counter productive as you now see less of what you're working on. I have an old screenshot of an X1 project that shows the Time Ruler digits 1 or 2 points larger than the current offering. Not sure why they would shrink them but they've been more difficult to see since.

Where were you guys 2 years ago to the day when I submitted my request in the Feedback Forum??? The more that respond to a request (click LIKE button) may garner attention from the bakers. Also more font contrast in some areas. Theme Editor in dark mode is almost completely impossible for me to read until a change is made.

Never mind. I was unaware of hotfix 93.

Interesting. So do I and my outlines are darker than the PRV background.
