That's an excellent idea at first thought, but doesn't that just call for a variety of programs? For instance, Cakewalk had Home Studio and Music Creator, etc., not to be confused with the various versions of SONAR which came down to differing sets of features. As cool as your idea is I'm not sure CbB can be simplified enough to make it an intuitive program for beginners. Kind regards, tecknot

This should have been implemented a long, long time ago. Who do you need to talk to get this and other obvious improvements (like text enlargement in the timeline and Aim Assist, for example) into CbB? Kind regards, tecknot

I would not consider anything Sound Blaster if you are serious about audio recording and production. Like Karhide asked, if you want some other suggestions your needs and budget are the real considerations. Kind regards, tecknot

Thanks for the tip, ien. Kind regards, tecknot

Unfortunately, there isn't anyway to automate column playback in the Matrix view expect for MIDI learn, but that doesn't address your question. Kind regards tecknot

Unfortunately, the only way to make objects/windows smaller on your monitor/desktop is to reduce your scale setting. This is a Windows thing and it will, of course, affect all programs. I have reduced my scale from the default to accommodate Cakewalk, but now have to enlarge the zoom level when using Firefox, for instance. It would be cool if Windows allowed for different scale settings per program instead of a global setting. Kind regards, tecknot

Thanks, sjoens. That explains the similarities in the available meter templates, but that's a bummer for my design. Guess it's back to the drawing board for me. Kind regards, tecknot

Yes, I understand the two halves are different. The bottom half matches my theme background so that it seems invisible when not in use. Per your request, attached is copy of my .png meter file.

I redid my "spectrum" meters, but I still get the same results when in CbB. The meters cut short say around 2 to 4dB and then restart from there to the height (or loudness) of the signal, so it looks like I have multiple meters in one. The meters never really show in orange or red, just segments of blue to green and maybe a little yellow. Below is a picture of what I"m talking about. If my meters worked properly, they would look similar to what Canopus posted (just a little more colorful and brighter) in CbB (during recording and playback). I think I can share my theme on Dropbox if anyone is interested. Kind regards

Hi Squonk, are you trying to combine the clips into one MIDI track or are you expecting a single audio track to result? Kind regards, tecknot

Yeah, you got it. I don't use Photoshop, but I get the idea. I'll give it a try. Thanks, Canopus. Kind regards, tecknot

Have you tried resetting your audio engine?

There is a voting option on Q&As, why not for Feedback posts? If someone offers up a good idea, I would like to give it some noticeable support in hopes the Bakers might take note. Kind regards, tecknot

I suggest using Windows magnifier under Windows Ease of Access in the Start menu. It's a bit cumbersome to use but it is useful. Kind regards, tecknot

Hi All, I created a theme with meters that cover the color spectrum from blue to red (blue being a very low level signal to red representing a clipping signal). However, my meters are cut into two or three sections instead of a single sequential stream from blue to red (if that makes sense). For instance, the lower end of the signal level will show slight blue, green, yellow and a little orange or red and then another section of colors from blue to orange/red as the signal gets hotter. So instead of one consistent meter it looks like two or three meters in one. Has anyone experienced this or maybe has a fix so that my meters look normal (but colorful)? Thanks in advance. Kind regards, tecknot

Thank you, everyone. I was worried I might need the VSTi version, but as it turns out per scook's post I needed to install the x64bit version. All is fine now and Pentagon I is working in CbB. Awesome! Kind regards, tecknot

Yeah, you are right, scook. The virtual "piano keyboard" does not have any controller capability; however, the virtual PC keyboard does. I was just trying to clarify in context of the OP's last two posts describing use of a "piano keyboard." Kind regards, tecknot

Just for the sake of clarification, the virtual keyboard in CbB is not and will not work as a virtual controller. It's only a keyboard for synth playback. Kind regards, tecknot

Hi Everyone, I installed Pentagon I (only) from my X3 installation, but it doesn't show up in either Cakewalk or SPLAT (x64). I've done a net search and found threads on the Registry hack (giving permission to users for Pentagon I), but haven't had any success. Also installed Project 5 v2 and can use Pentagon from there, but can't rewire P5 into CbB or SPLAT (due to the 64bit limitation, IIRC). Only thing is I can't figure out how to use Pentagon I as a vocoder in P5. I read that some users have been able to use Pentagon I in SPLAT. Does anyone know of a way to get Pentagon I to show up and work in CbB or SPLAT beyond the registry hack? Any suggestion or solution would be greatly appreciated. Kind regards, tecknot

Terribly sorry about that, Mark. That would be a good feature request and I am certain it would not be the first on the matter. tecknot

Thanks for helping me out, John. I really appreciate it! Kind regards, tecknot

I believe scroll lock will do the trick. However, this may have been a feature in older versions of SONAR. Sorry I cannot confirm at this time, but it's worth a shot. Kind regards, tecknot

There are two very distinctive differences between downloading CbB from BandLab Assistant and a link to a file sharing website. As I stated previously, I am using someone else's PC for internet access at their home and cannot install any application on it. I did not intend to get into any debates when starting this thread, merely, to obtain a copy of the latest CbB release. Hopefully that clarifies my situation for you. Kind regards, tecknot

Now back to my original request... Is anyone willing and able to send me a copy of latest update of CbB? I would honestly appreciate it. As for other replies suggesting that CbB cannot be installed offline, that is simply not true. I have installed updates offline and, of course that being so, I was not logged onto BandLab or BandLab Assistant. You only need BL Assist to download the updates, not to install. (I am not talking about authorization which is moot. I only want to have a copy of the latest update to keep my library of updates complete. Most users are aware that a copy can be saved to a drive prior to completion of installation.) Kind regards, tecknot

I have CbB already on my DAW which is not connected to a network/internet, so I don't need to authorize the new update install. My problem is that I don't have access to the internet now that my laptop is dust. At this moment, I am using a PC at someone else's house for intermittent web access. So, this is not my machine and I don't have permission to install programs on it. Can either of you do me a solid and send me a copy of 2019.01? I am not nefarious, this is a real situation until I can purchase a new laptop, but that will take a little time. I don't understand any hesitation to help me with my request. Chuck E., you've always been very helpful without any prejudice, can you help me out? I would sincerely appreciate it. I just don't want to miss any updates in the event it would be the last workable update for me. Please take great consideration to my circumstances. Thank you in advance. Kind regards, tecknot
