Just too bad all graphics have to be PNG or BMP. Would be cool to throw in an animated GIF or 2.

Zactly. The difference is time ruler selection actually "inverts" the background color making it the exact opposite of the color you chose. The Help Mod colors follow no discernable rule so can't say what in the world the bakers were thinking there.

It would be sooo nice to have ALL scrollers unified in style and totally theme-able. I spent some time tracking it down and found only the background is directly changeable. Thumb & arrows change with the background color in some sort of undisclosed predetermined way inside CbB for which we have no control over... as described above.

Seems all USB multitrack mixers have issues of one sort or another. Latest offerings can't even make it to store shelves ATM. ?

I like that the Soundcraft has individual track inputs & outputs. My Behringer only has individual track inputs and 2 stereo outputs from the DAW. Thinking of switching, tho the compromise is the Soundcraft has no dedicated AUX returns so you're forced to use a track for that.

Thanks, that works too since having no name results in each copied clip being named "clip" followed by a parenthesized number - clip(1).mid. If I name each clip by it's track number, drag copy results in: 1(1).mid, 2(1).mid, 3(1).mid, etc. So there seems to be a hitch in the numbering sequence when dragging them out of CbB. As mentioned, this doesn't happen when dragging them to the Media Browser window.

They only appear when needed as do the other Browser window scrollers. Help has it's own unique scroller style which when they're all showing makes the Browser look kinda wacky to me.

Thanks. Either I missed the "i" or he edited after I posted. If what you say is true then the Mute button may be up to the plugin maker to include??

Fascinating.

Has this always been an issue? Mine syncs as expected. However, I consistently have issues with Track View not responding to track focus/Inspector sync when clicking on a track.

Would be nice to have one but you can use the plugin's "bypass" ON/OFF button in the FX bin.

Would be nice if Themes were included in Preferences > File > Folder Locations.

Could be a YMMV thing? but it has persisted for years.

Now back to the Q. If you want PRV to open focused on a certain track, just double click the clip in Track View. You can set the double click routine to open other views as well.

Thanks. Same results. Definitely something wrong here.

I have the same issues from time to time. The PRV has it's own Snap tool in the upper right corner which I leave OFF anymore as that seems to help.

Dragging MIDI clips to the Desktop used to work but not anymore. 1st clip copies over fine, named "clip(1).mid". Then each successive clip wants to also be named "clip(1).mid and tries to overwrite the 1st one. No option to change name when dragging over. Ctrl+Drag gives same results. Audio clips drag copy just fine and I can use the Browser to drag MIDI clips but this used to work, what's changed? CbB 2021.09 141

I spoke too soooon the 1st time and tried to clarify what I found the 2nd. But as I said, I know nothing of CbB's inner workings. Hopefully Noel's answer answers the question.

It depends what automation you're using. Basic volume , pan, gain, etc. Track automation should stay with the track while Synth controls would be tied to that synth. Replacing it would remove automation tied to that synth even if you reload the same one because you're "removing" it before reinserting it. Not sure if that can be changed.

Yeah, I kinda changed my post b4 you quoted me...

This has been "standard behavior" since X1. For me, moving the line to far left in TV clears the issue. Changing views with it mid screen makes it remain.

I know nothing of CbB's inner workings so this sounds interesting. I know you can "replace" a synth on the same track (right-click icon > Replace Synth...) without affecting anything else on the track. You can also add automation to the MIDI track so whatever synth you use won't affect it.

The only themable scroll bar items are the background and thumb for TV, CV, PRV, Step Seq, & Matrix Views. One day I noticed the Browser's Help Module scroll bar was oddly colored and uses different elements than the other windows. EDIT: I found Global > Scroll Bars > Scroll Bar Background also changes the Help Module scroll bar background. When this happens, the Help Module scroll bar thumb & arrows will also change, but not as expected. Background > Thumb > Arrows: Cyan > Red > Red Dark Cyan > Red > Ice Blue Light Cyan > darker Cyan > darker Cyan Blue > Dark Blue > Magenta Magenta > White > Gray Red > White > Gray Dark Red > Cyan > Cyan Green > White > Gray Dark Green > Magenta > Ice Blue Black > Gray > Gray White > Gray > Gray Dark Gray > Black > White Gray > Dark Gray > Dark Gray

Simple MIDI projects are easy to preserve as noted. But if you have specific instruments & FX you want to save as well... To archive, simply keep a back up copy of the project folder on another drive or CD/DVD. CbB uses Per-Project Audio Folders, and keeps all project files and folders within the main project folder. To preserve plugins you can freeze or bounce the tracks which will lock them in place "audibly", but you won't be able to edit the parameters without unfreezing & reusing the same plugins at a later date. And you'll now have wave files in the project. FWIW I don't use Instrument tracks, but separate MIDI & Synth tracks. Freezing these maintains your MIDI & audio in separate tracks. Freezing Instrument (combined MIDI & Synth) tracks doesn't loose the MIDI data, it just locks it in rendered form. You can later unfreeze it to edit the MIDI. However, under the right conditions the freeze/unfreeze function can fail so I personally don't trust this method... anymore. Bundle files are not recommended for archiving. They can become problematic or corrupted over time.

You have to bring the target track in focus first. Otherwise the copied data will paste into the same track as copied from, or whatever track is already in focus (track name highlighted).
