The last big revamp of the SONAR/CbB UI was in the oughts, right? I know that new isn't necessarily better, but It was looking dated to me. I don't like having to switch back to CbB for certain tasks.

Fair enough. But if the 3D realistic look is dated then color me dated. I love looking at true to life type mixing board & effects controls. The 2D looks cheaped down and artificial to me.

Of course, my opinion doesn't matter anyway. I'm just whining Krupa. Can't a grown man whine anymore?! 😫

Simple things like the record button. I don’t know how many times I’ve hit the solo or mute buttons instead!! That just seems wrong. I’ve used this software since 2005 and my muscle memory should know where the tracks recording button is but now it’s elusive.
 

Possibly my biggest problem is that the PVR is so dark I can’t see the lines so I make mistakes. I have to switch to the Mercury theme to work efficiently in PVR. Then the Track view now looks like 1998. I miss Scooks custom themes. 

I almost get the impression that there’s only a bare bones development staff working on this. It has been 2 years and very little has happened. 
 

If Cakewalk users demo the new Sonar and hate the graphics just like the rest of us did 2 years ago it will be a hard sell. 
I just slowly kinda got used to the shortfalls and stopped thinking about it but this thread reminds me of my first impressions.
