Cakewalk learned this lesson the hard way with their anti-gravity module.

Those unfulfilled promises of a hover car?

I'm guessing they're working on a new Hi-DPi compatible GUI! ?

As long as they don’t remove the audio tracks I’m good.

I had 5 different jokes ready to go, but this being a family friendly forum has prevented me from using any of them. This is a disaster. ☹️

Companies will tell you it's about protecting proprietary advantage, but it's really the same reason a band's rehearsals aren't public - you want to show the world the finished product, not how the sausage is made.

Well, given that DAW's such as Studio One 6 are still copying features that Cakewalk/SONAR has had for years, I don't think that protecting the competitive advantage is a negligible consideration. ?

Check this out:

"Customizable user interface

The all-new Customization Editor lets you view only the tools you need for the task at hand by creating a custom user interface that works for you, and you can save your unique customization settings for instant recall.

Beginner Customizations

Default customizations are available for essential workflows so you can start with only the functions you need and add new tools as you’re ready to learn more.

Advanced Customizations

Create our own customizations from the default options and hide nearly every tool or feature you don’t need to clear away distractions at any time."

So now in Studio One 6 you can have different....spaces....in which to....work, I guess. ??

Nice to have the sincerest form of flattery bestowed upon our favorite DAW.

Anyone who is actually beta-testing the forthcoming release (if it exists) almost certainly isn't allowed to post about it publicly... so take some of these posts with a grain of salt and a low-pass filter, if you haven't already figured this out ?

All I was looking for was confirmation that there would be continued dev work - that’s it.

I didn’t ask anything about a roadmap, timetables or any feature details so I’m a bit confused as to why the thread was closed.

There will definitely be more dev work. If anything, it's the ongoing work that has resulted in in this taking longer than our usual releases, and due to various reasons, some out of our control, schedules keep changing. Hopefully in the next few weeks you folks will at least learn more about why it's been taking longer. It's definitely not that we've been idling here

One thing we've been attempting to work on (won't be in the immediate CbB update since work is still underway) among other big things is a big UI refresh to modernize the look of the application and support high resolution displays better, which is a huge undertaking that touches all the user interface.  And this is only the tip of the iceberg but I digress.

I would’ve closed it after Noel’s response so it doesn’t get buried in the thread.
