I fully agree and it relates to this post from January as well but I still have to open Sonar 8.5 occasionally and it's surprising how much more compact it is . More tracks, faders, busses fit on my screens and yet everything is clearer to my eyes. Modern GUI design seems to be very 'flat'..muted colours and not much sense of 'depth'... whereas they use to be a little more photorealistic in the past which is easier to work with IMHO. I think I remember reading somewhere years ago the reason everything was more spread out is it allowed for better touch screen use. If they were going to overhaul it some sort of scaleable vector based GUI would enable losless resizing of things such as the faders mentioned in the post below

Yeah this would be great, so many people using Kontakt these days

8.5 was great ! I only stopped using it ( semi professionally ) when CBB was launched

Lol, how many do you need to sell to make back your investment ?

I think they expect the Browser drag / drop to be the way now..but yes it would be easy to add to the menu

What @abacab said ! Other platforms are much faster in terms of workflow for producers of Hip Hop & EDM etc because they have integrated samplers that just " work " right out the gate for what they need. I won't repeat myself..here is a link to my previous request which pre-dates this thread https://discuss.cakewalk.com/index.php?/topic/1148-seamless-deeply-intergrated-sampler/&tab=comments#comment-8767

In addition to my request for Nested Folders can I also ask that we have the ability to Export By Folder In the world of making music for TV & Film Libraries more and more of them are wanting stems. The easiest way to organise stems is by Folder ( not busses ) so the ability to Export them would be a huge time saver

Not the same thing ..need something fast and deeply integrated

"Clip freeze"

Never had a sidechain related crash and I use them in almost every project. Most often using Fabfilter plugins

When you Ripple Edit a selection in the track view , whilst dragging your clip(s) the whole track appears to move and not only the selected part..once you let go of the mouse button it corrects itself but visually it's confusing as it looks like you are moving a whole bunch of stuff that you're not.

Great machines and built like tanks, why they went the route they did with the trashcan design is a mystery to me. Probably a better bet to build a hackingtosh nowadays

+ 100 !!!

You are coming from the wrong angle with your list. What you should be asking is not where music is used but where these places source it from. The answer to the more popular uses of TV , film , advertising, video games, retail streaming etc. is they license it from Music Libraries. Shows like the Kardashians or Catfish will use around 90 snippets of different music tracks mostly written by people in home studios like us. Anyone can audition for a music library but the standards are high to get accepted. You mostly have to make the music for free with the promise of royalties from any placements you may get down the line.

It works great..next question...can you add an octave lock button to go with it as well as it keeps reverting to 3 on each preset

Yay ! I have seen this implemented in the new update , many thanks.

Lol..Well I look forward to it..if you can add some depth that would be fantastic !

Nice Theme..finally one I can live with ! I wish Bandlab would bring back the fake 3d 'depth' of the old Pre X series Sonar..they make everything too flat looking, took me a while to figure out why I preferred the older GUI

I have always had this issue with Sonar / Cakewalk..it's never gone away and I have just learned to make my own selection before bouncing a track I suspect part of it my be to do with if you import something like a midi file

100%...I think I already asked for this but it may have been on the Facebook group

Already requested

I have started using ADSR Sample Manager now, it's free and it's awesome

I have installed ADSR Sample Manager after seeing it suggested in another thread...It's totally free like CBB and is a great tool for browsing samples, it can index and metatag them intelligently very rapidly so my samples are now much more easy to find. It even lets you play them on a midi keyboard. I can highly reccommend it , my workflow has improved sustantially - If CBB had something along thes lines built in it would be killer

What do you actually use them for, anyone that has ever taken my tracks for broadcast has asked for me to make them louder

No , this is a much wanted feature by many. Visual clip gain.
