What are you worries about might happen 3 years from now? Is it that Bandlab will no longer offer Sonar or Bandlab folds or something like that? If that is the concern, maybe Bandlab could provide a written guarantee that if Sonar were to no longer be available that subscribers would be offered a reasonable purchase option at that time. Thoughts?

Can you set the background colors for all clips across a track without having to do so one at a time?

I would love it if I could make the fonts large in the markers on top. It is really hard to read what I write what the marker it about there. Maybe they could make it so if I hover the cursor over the marker - then a window temporarily opens up with large letters. Thank you!

I am curious. When would someone not want plugin load balancing checked?

I would go with the new Sonar. The latency specifications are better, at least for me, and that is important. Apparently, they have a new free version of Sonar that you might like, if you do not want to go with the subscription. By the way, I was also a user since the 1990s.

I like the horizonal meters better than the vertical. Is there a way to save the option of horizonal in the workspace or something else? The default seems to be vertical. I would also like the 90db range to be my standard setting. Thanks!

Love Sonar - but would love this feature. I can change the foreground color of the track but not the background color.

Congrats on getting a new computer. Keep us posted!

That is good info. Thank you. But if there is no need to move automation or other data other than the clips, it seems quicker to drag the clip or use the slide function.

Slide does not move some of the automation data and I think tempo map, but it does move the entire clip that you have selected. So select the clip that you want to slide, then go to process - slide, and then in the slide window insert the number of measures you want to move. I am not sure what you mean by "3 times." Also, you can select a clip and drag it to the measure you want to move it to. I would set snap to grid to "whole" so it moves snaps in at the beginning of a measure.

I do not have the program open now, but based on memory - it is under process - then select the slide option. In the slide option select measures and then enter the number of measures (under a - sign for sliding backward! ) Good luck! Nice avatar by the way!

You can select all the clips you want to move - go to "slide" and slide the number of measures that you want. It is easy to do. By the way, you can slide backwards or forwards.

I had a problem template last year. It happens. You just have to start from scratch. Please report back. One of the great things about Cakewalk, is there is a community here that tries to help!

Paul - I do not think you are rude at all. And you can be 1000 percent correct! I noticed that there are some keyboards being made with this high resolution and I was curious if Cakewalk was doing something about it. Perhaps the velocity aspect is beyond human comprehension. But I also do not think it is all about whether someone can repeat the velocity again and again at such fine points, but whether there is any added realism to the result. If there is truly no added realism in the result, then I would think that such would eventually not be a selling point for those keyboards, at least on the velocity issue. May be that there is another benefit to the advanced midi that goes beyond just the velocity issue. (I think you wrote about this!) Thank you for chiming in on this!

Mercury Classic Bright seems to work best for me.
