David Rubenstein Posted Thursday at 06:38 PM Share Posted Thursday at 06:38 PM In Track view, I press the "+" button to bring up the "Add Track" dialog menu (see attached snapshot). Under the "Instrument" tab, there are some radio button options, like "Record Enable", "Open Virtual Controller", and under "Advanced" there are additional radio buttons; "Create Folder", "Instrument Track per Output", and "Split Instrument Track". When I click on any of these options, the radio buttons do not light up, so I am not sure what is happening. Likewise, under the "Audio" tab, the radio button options do not light up.

When using a scheme with brightly colored control backgrounds, like Light or Light Gray, everything looks okay. Using a color scheme with dark control background, the controls are colored in such a way that it's not visible. However, they are selected. Sounds like a pretty easy fix. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you say, easy fix, assuming it's been reported Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is only an included part of an existing service And it always on sale. $49-$79 and at most $99. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could also use the + button in the synth rack to add Kontakt 7 either with 1 stereo out or multiple. Thats the way i add a soft synth. YMMV of course. To add a simple audio or midi track simply right click on an empty part of TV and select in the drop down menu. J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John T Posted Thursday at 09:29 PM Share Posted Thursday at 09:29 PM (edited) The UI stuff is the one thing that stopped me moving over to Sonar sooner, and to be honest, still would if CbB wasn't being retired. It's not that I'm stuck in the past. The new Sonar seems really good, but honestly, this kind of thing is really letting it down. I'm not fussed about theme editors or anything like that, and it's not a question of style or attractiveness or whatever. This is just baseline UI readability stuff. I know it's a small team, and I'm sure there's not time or resources available for someone to full time specialise in UI. But I think it sorely needs a thorough design pass, from someone with a solid grounding in UX stuff (not just visual design) rather than picking away at piecemeal. There are many issues with readability throughout the application. Edited Thursday at 10:46 PM by John T 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Vere Posted Thursday at 10:07 PM Share Posted Thursday at 10:07 PM Agree. I am forever selecting the solo or mute instead of the Record button. You sort of get used to the graphics after a week or so but some of these conversations are reminders of how I felt at first. And I have to keep switching colour schemes if I want a White PVR.

Colin Nicholls Posted yesterday at 12:54 AM Share Posted yesterday at 12:54 AM Those checkboxes used to work in an earlier release... I think this is a regression. Look for normal functionality to be restored soon I would expect.

John T Posted yesterday at 01:02 AM Share Posted yesterday at 01:02 AM (edited) I feel like you've not read the very bit of my post you've quoted. What you propose *is* "picking away at it piecemeal". I'm saying that's not a good approach. Edited yesterday at 01:03 AM by John T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a big difference between software having bugs, which all do, and saying a product isn't finished yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a big difference between software having bugs, which all do, and saying a product isn't finished yet. It is finished in that one can do professional and artistic work with it. Just because there is more that they want to do should not hold us all up for the other benefits like the reduced latency. And it is likely that after they create more graphic options that there will be other things that are not "bug" related. By the way, I just recorded a great session drummer today who works with many DAWs of many producers and he was impressed with Sonar. I hope you have great success with whatever DAW you use.

Jonathan Sasor Posted 22 hours ago Share Posted 22 hours ago Its rendering the options, but just at a very low contrast in the Dark theme. This is already fixed internally, and we'll have another update soon. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
