Daryl L. Samuel Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 Which application/software was used to design Cakewalk’s / Sonar’s UI? Or, who was/is the designer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starship Krupa Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 This is pure speculation, but from my examination of the elements, and my experience in commercial software development, the art is often initially done by a consultant. Depending on the size of the company, they often don't have a need for a fulltime UI designer and pixel jockey. They'll call someone in to do it each time they need to update it or add features. Meldaproduction is doing this now, their next release is going to include skeuomorphic panels in some of the UI's. As for the tools, I have no theories.

Graphic design is one of my interests so I thought it would be nice to know what is used to design for a DAW and see the process. Edited June 20, 2021 by Daryl L.

Careful, hang around in the Themes forum too long and next thing you'll find yourself spending hours with Paint.NET updating hundreds of buttons that you yourself never use in Cakewalk. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
