Clever idea. In a perfect world - soon to come, there should be only one standard open source format for all cross-platform plugins and exclusive format only for "in-house" plugins for DAW makers who don't want their plugins used outside their software.

Hardware or software synth? Sometimes my hardware synth/sequencer will do this if it has a different sound on that track/channel.

Are you saving the Workspace after changing shortcuts?

For Chrome I use https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/dark-mode/dmghijelimhndkbmpgbldicpogfkceaj?hl=en It's not always useful and will invert some images but user can turn it on/off at will from the tool bar.

... and per clip making you add them to each clip in the Lane instead of one FX for the whole Lane. My thought would be how to separate Lane FX from the main Track FX as they would both affect output.

No, but you can type a search word at the top or click the Contact Support button at the bottom if you agree to the Service Agreement terms.

Today I changed some Personalization settings and the bug went away. Not sure why, how or by what setting this single image is being affected, but currently all is good.

Sometimes I see dots, and it has nothing to do with Cakewalk... Sometimes I've noticed with very small clips the dots disappear when zoomed out all the way. To locate micro MIDI clips, open Event List. To locate micro Audio clips, open Loop Construction.

I meant to say they can support transparency, but not as easily as PNGs or JPGs. Even so , not all CbB views support it. Before the X series, Sonar GUI was all BMP and transparency was accomplished with masking images or a specific color like magenta: , and then only if internal coding allowed it. PNGs have an alpha channel built in for transparency. Check out most of Cakewalk's VST Resource folders where you can see examples of BMP transparency masking. Interesting they've always made these GUIs openly changeable but not the main program. Transparency is good!

In Windows, set the default sound to something other than your interface, like onboard audio. If none exist, leave the audio engine on in CbB.

1. Clip must be selected and deleted. Click the clip & hit Delete key. or 2. Right click clip & select Bounce to clip(s). You do not need to delete notes in PRV if you want to delete the entire clip.

According to documentation, only when the button is dimly-lit is there a Take Lane. The moment you press the button, one is created and becomes dimly-lit. like me So either CbB is oblivious to the insertion of events other than recording and won't create a T/L until you press the button... Or it thinks there is no need for one until you press the button. Either way, the T/L button is OFF indicating no Take Lane is present. It would be nice if they make it so any data input creates a Take Lane - with dimly-lit button. To me, Edits (non-recorded adjustments) & Takes (recordings) are 2 different things. 1. "A take is a single continuous recorded performance." "In music recording, a take similarly refers to successive attempts to record a song or part. Musical takes are also sequentially numbered." 2. PRV & Staff View are "editors". Anything manually entered into them is an "edit", even if starting from scratch. Takes can be entered into them by recording, but manual insertion, note by note, is an "edit". To me this is why the button remains OFF. Why, copy&paste-ing a clip will create a Take Lane but dragging one won't until the button is pressed is confusing. I.C. So an extra step to close & reopen Take Lanes is required to see the 2nd lane. Documentation is not so clear on this. Even so, if a 3rd, or more, overlapping clip is dragged in, a 3rd+ lane is NOT created at all, ever. Extra step to create 3rd+ lane, and another step to drag the clip there are needed. So documentation is only partly correct. This doesn't bother me so much because I normally don't drag clips around like that.

You can find image type in the Properties box...

Yes, but the button will remain dimly-lit. OP wants button to go OFF when lane is collapsed with or without clips, but that's not intended behavior. Agreed. Behavior indicates that a Take Lane is not "officially" created until a "take" is recorded or the button is activated. Dragging a clip to create a new track or entering notes in PRV aren't "takes" so the button remains OFF because no Take Lane was created. This can be confusing because if another clip is dragged into the new track the button becomes dimly-lit. Even more confusing is they will both be on one Take Lane if they overlap. According to documentation, they should be on separate lanes. A dimly-lit state merely indicates a Take Lane exists on the track. It does not indicate the presence of a clip or how many lanes there are. I like the idea of using a numbered state to show how many lanes exist.

Looks like the ad's been running nonstop since 3 of 2018 with several revisions. Which means... So far... No one's... Fallen for it.

"There is nothing wrong with your TV. Do not attempt to adjust the picture. We are controlling the transmi..." Theme Editor allows you to customize your Cakewalk so you only see what you want. Could be an oversite on CbB's part as any clip should invoke the dimly-lit, partially-lit, semi-lit, but not fully-lit, button, when TLs are closed. But then a "take" is recorded, so behavior may be intended. I think a # on the button would be way more cool, so at glance we know how many lanes there are.

Of course, you can also download the manual or easily google search "Cakewalk stretch note".

I believe that's normal for BMPs as they don't support transparency w/o a coded color set within the .exe. Some BMPs like the wide Console Separator were converted to PNG for Theme Editor and now support transparency.

As I thought. So it is personal! ? Thanks for looking into it. I just installed the latest CbB update thinking it might be buggy code but no change. As I type this my animated gif avatar is flashing, so maybe the graphic card is going dodo.

The Expand/collapse Take Lanes button has three states: Clicking the button in a track with no clips will create a Lane, so closing it will result in the button remaining semi-lit.

Yes. Not all images have or honor transparency within CbB. But those that do, should. This is just a weird case of one image that did and now doesn't. Still curious if anyone else can replicate it with Now Markers. Then I'll know if it's personal... or something I did.

Take lanes are an integral part of the track. If there's a clip, there's a take lane, hidden or visible. (see post below) The "On/Off button simply shows or hides existing lanes - not make or remove them. (see post below) If you made an empty Take Lane by clicking the "+" button, just click the "x" button to remove it. Edit: Redacted false statements

Yes. But I revisited those settings to rectify this issue... to no avail. Transparency as a whole is fine, only this particular image is affected ATM. Yes. I made the rest of the image transparent. The transparent area in the default image you posted (above) is transparent in both images, so the "mask" is interfering with the remaining transparent area of my image. FWIW I noticed this same issue in SPlat years ago but forgot about it with CbB as it never came up until now. Setting or glitch? It's not a big deal but annoying to say the least as it's visually ruining several themes. For kicks, anyone care to make one of their Now Markers 100% transparent in a test theme to verify if replicable?

No clue what's causing this. Normally CbB honors transparent objects, but sometimes it forgets to. Of note is the Track View Time Ruler Now Time Marker. There looks like a solid black mask behind it in the shape of the default marker that can appear at will. Default: Repainted: The Black area should be transparent, and for months it was. For no reason, today the mask refuses to go away in spite repeated app reloads and system reboots.
