Jerry Gerber Posted June 30 Posted June 30 (edited) I just subscribed for a year for Sonar. I have no problem supporting a company that produces Cakewalk but PLEASE do something about the ridiculous lack of color options, especially on the track view where every track is the exact same color, other than the small vertical bar on the left side of the track. I don't understand how or why these color options would be downgraded instead of left alone? I see that the color options for audio tracks, midi tracks, etc are still present in Preferences-Customization-Color but they don't do anything! Am I missing something? I much prefer to look at Cakewalk by Bandlab, it's like looking at a beautiful, finished piece of software. With Sonar it looks like a beta version that isn't complete. I am just referring to colors, not the audio/midi/plugin part of the program. Jerry https://www.jerrygerber.com/ https://www.youtube.com/@astromusicvideo Edited June 30 by Jerry Gerber 5

I've had this question in the back of my mind since Sonar came out: do the developers use monitors or monitor settings with greater contrast/vibrance than my poor old Dell and Samsung HD monitors'? The other day I bought a 27" 4K monitor thinking that it might help with my Sonar legibility issues. Unfortunately it didn't.
