Nice... The song rocked out as usual but like those above I just loved those clean and slinky lines. I can just hear the "steel" of the strings, if that makes sense.

Late to the party... loved it. How you managed to overlay that lyrical content over that music is interesting to say the least, but of course you did it so well. As per usual.

Going through some older posts looking for things to listen to, and just could not resist the artist + title - and boy was I not disappointed. To call this fun and eclectic would be an understatement. ?

It's the -/+ at the far right side of the track view.

Not even a Pancake? Sorry, couldn't help myself. ?

What happens if you toggle that option off, move a clip, undo, then re-nable and try again? Just wondering if it's in some weird state where it needs to reinitialize itself.

This is something I could see my blues band playing. ?

Oh yeah... that be some funky brew, Bats. The lead guitar has a nice slinky and effortless feel, and the supporting tracks are completely locked in.

I haven't been around for a while, but what a great way to get back in the groove. As usual, your phrasing is just... fantastic. You've got big pockets, Ken. ?

Very nice... A good mix of orchestral and electronic. It's big, cinematic, and a very enjoyable listen.

FWIW, when I originally did the Polar Blue theme a few years back I also exported a matching *.clr file to cover the things I couldn't get the way I wanted using the Theme Editor. Just throwing it out there...

Are they the same shade but a little lighter?

Nothing specific really, just something brighter that still goes with your overall scheme. That is just personal preference though.

I like to see multiple meters clearly at a glance, so I'm not a big fan off the off-white on grey in the Track View. But the light blue CV color stands out nicely.

Here ya go....

FWIW, I am seeing solid light blue meters in Console View/Track Inspector, and segmented white meters in Track View.

Ditto. I tend to "arrange" a bit more than I comp, so the ability to freely select and edit away is fantastic. It just feels better.

^^^^

No worries! ?

They seem to be OK here using both the original and your updated 2019 version. Any chance they're being overidden at the Colors level? Selecting anything other than the Normal preset can darken those, even using Bright... as counter-intuitive as that seems.

What are your VST scan paths in Preferences set to right now? Whatever they, browse to those folders using Windows File Explorer and see which .dll files exist - those are the files that the VST scanner will attempt to scan. The one above is under a /Dell folder so it's unclear why that would be included as a folder to scan. Like scook mentioned previously, start with limited paths and get those working properly, then build up from there.

FWIW, I'm seeing the same thing. I exported what I think is the right item to a *.png, and according to GIMP the color's RGB and hex code do match up to a pink variation. FWIW, the hex code is FF7F7F

So sorry to hear that, Ken. Your Cakewalk family is thinking about you.

Loving the new Smart Tool options! It's so much easier to fly around when arranging without needing to specifically hit on the upper/lower halves of clips. And that's just the beginning...

Thanks, Colin! I look forward to giving it a go in CbB.
