Obviously, a MIDI track routed to an outboard synth that hasn't been recorded to track will also not be in the mix.

Thanks, so the friendly name # removal is a good thing especially now I know how to use them.

I'm probably the only one who never got this, but you prompted me to read the manual (pg74). I NOW know "|" delimits -or separates- the name you type. Since they use "/" in the "condensed" Preferences description, I did too, so the separation never happened. So... Onyx 1|Onyx 2|Onyx 1/2 =

Preferences gives you 4 ways to display the drivers. The 1 L, 2 R, 1+2 S, 3 L, 4 R, 3+4 S etc. with UNfriendly names helps a lot but I use friendly names which removes the channel numbers defeating the whole purpose of adding them. ← Edit (user error) unfriendly friendly

Yeah I suppose Home Studio could make a PC-less temp as it only has Style Dials. I don't have it installed and won't at the risk of messing up my current installs. Didn't know about the txt file trick either..... so much to learn. Not sure if the stripped down EQ could cause issue with newer versions of Sonar's PC but only the devs would know for sure.

BTW, only X1 can add and retain PC-less tracks to a project. Other versions will add the default modules when adding tracks and the EQ cannot be removed once added unless you do an Undo. FWIW my PC-less projects have never crashed from the template or preset. That may be a New Sonar thing or something else entirely.

No. I don't use it and until you mentioned it, didn't even know how to activate it. Funny thing is it only happens occasionally, like during my last post but not this one. It's like the posting header doesn't fully load sometimes and so far this is the only place it happens.

Ooops, I was thinking Channel buttons, but they all use dropdown arrows that DO take up space . Maybe the button format could be changed to mimic the FX Rack buttons where arrows are hidden until you hover over them... Still I think Input buttons could loose the " - Ch." or use something like 1:LX88 or LX88:1; LX88:Omni which uses less space.

I still get this. No one else?

I normally use Omni, but honestly can't see why the Input button doesn't follow the same format as Output. If a channel is selected it should be the first thing you see so a quick glance is all it takes to confirm. Especially when using multiple controllers on multiple channels. 0️⃣ 1-Yamaha ℹ️ 3-LX88

I'm learning stuff. Old bug that was fixed or not, I made an Empty.pcp ProChannel preset with no modules in X1 that still loads in X1 but not in X2 and above. If Empty.pcp was loaded & saved in a project created with one of the default templates already having PC modules, it will open empty in X1 but not X2 or above. In X1 you can save a Project Template with Empty.pcp and any project made and saved with it, even in CbB, will retain the empty PC in every version of Cakewalk you open it in. So the empty status seems to be retained in the template, not the project made with it. Makes sense then this would also apply to templates made in 8.5 and earlier that had no PC at all. So... if you have an old project with no PC modules, CbB & Sonar should reload the modules when you open it IF it was not originally created with a PC-less template. If it was, you'll be reloading them manually. Or... this may work:

There was a glitch in X1 that allowed us to remove the EQ from ProChannel strips. It's since been fixed so you can no longer do that. EQ is the default module for ProChannel and can't be removed which is why it's normally not in the list and why there is no icon for it. If you had removed it, back when you could, and now open the project in any Cakewalk program, it will appear in the list with a blank icon.

Don't know if this helps but Google Reason and Cakewalk: https://legacy.cakewalk.com/Support/Knowledge-Base/2007013042/The-Complete-Guide-to-Using-Rewire-Part-1 specifically: https://legacy.cakewalk.com/Support/Knowledge-Base/2007013045/The-Complete-Guide-to-Using-Rewire-Part-4

Sorry SirWilly, our posts overlapped.

Explain. When you are in another view, you can hit D or Alt+1 to return to Track View.

True. Maybe my Chrome settings?

Doh. Senior moment

Doesn't that require the shift key?

"Go to End" just got me. It's now Go to the time of the last event bound to Ctrl+END keys.

Occasionally the Preferences window will disappear or fall behind the DAW when outside features like Keyboard Shortcuts or Themes are clicked. Usually clicking an empty space in CbB will bring it back to view. Today for the first time it almost crashed CbB when entering a search word in the Keyboard Shortcuts search box. When it did come back it had switched to the default "Basic" view. Longstanding issue in SONAR/CbB. Does it happen with Sonar?

Well, I'm looking for a blue '69 Camaro convertible RS 396/auto with white top. It's no longer made but, sorry, even a 2024 Aston Martin DB Volante won't replace it. BTW, there's even a huge market for real no longer made vintage instruments. Some are even priceless, not that any plugin will ever be, but TEHO.

Any language will do. Glad it worked for you. Save the file so you can use it again if needed. For any who need it, the V Studio control surface install file is available on the Legacy website's Knowledge Base page but is a little convoluted. Basically: Follow the top link and click the download link. In Chrome, a blank page opens in a tab BEFORE the Knowledge Base tab. You need to change it's URL from "https://www.cakewalk.com... to https://legacy.cakewalk.com... before it will download. There's a lot of useful info and downloads for older Cakewalk stuff on the KB.
