Mark D. Posted November 26 Share Posted November 26 (edited) I've used Cakewalk for decades. Just downloaded the very latest update. I like the idea of flexibility in window sizes, but don't like what it created. I do a lot of mastering with Sonar. I'd have 10, 15, 20 or more plug ins in my FX rack window, in the track view (prefer it to Console View). Up until this update I could see every one and the monitor / settings I have allow them all to be visible without scrolling. Now, I can try to stretch that FX Rack window on the left as high as it goes, and 1/3, even 1/2 or more are not visible, I have to scroll up and down inside that window. Can you please allow users to opt OUT of resizing, and get the older way of viewing that back as it was. I was used to working that way and have no desire to resize sliders, etc. If that's not possible, please let us drag it as open as we want to far beyond that. This definitely made it worse. Also, above the gain and pan knobs on top, before there was no space, it was efficiently at the top. Now there is a big empty box up there. If there will be no "classic view" option, get rid of that useless box. Before I could see all I needed on the left by looking, no wasted space or time spent scrolling. Edit: Without creating bugs, let us pick what to show in there would be nice, so I can remove that empty box, Pro Channel, Sends if I wanted. A suggestion for the future, that's all. Just being able to make that FX (24) box shown as tall as I want & get rid of that empty space above the Gain and Pan knobs there, OR to go back to the prior classic strip is sufficient for now. I'll survive, but I'd prefer the above to streamline my work. Thanks. Edited November 27 by Mark D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

User 905133 Posted November 27 Share Posted November 27 It looks to me like the strips in Cakewalk Sonar are limited to a maximum of 12 visible slots in the FX Bin. I would be in favor of that being increased if it's possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sal Sorice Posted November 27 Share Posted November 27 I agree - the new "scrolling" FX Bin should be an option - not the default. Was this scrolling thing a popular Feature Request?? I'd like to hear from the Bakers what the rationale was behind this, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think personal choices like this need to be an either/or thing. For example, in one Workspace I might want the largest FX Bin size possible; for another Workspace I might want small FX Bins. For the latter, scrolling would be not only helpful, but essential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
