Early Access here for 2016.06

So, what do people think?
 
The Theme improvements are welcome.
 
Looking froward to trying TH3 update - IR Cabs are back, thank goodness.

merged with previous thread about EAP 2016.06

I never did a smart swipe. The store manager caught me every time. They must've had cameras.

I really like the "Smart Swipe" feature - Quick Groups were/are great, but in certain circumstances this feature is so handy.
 
Together they make altering several tracks at a time a breeze.
 
@promidi - thanks for pointing out the TH3/Boutique reminder - I got carried away and left that out.
 
It's nice to see PC FX chains not standing out like a sore thumb in the Tungsten theme antmore..

Damn,
Can't install this until l'my back in the UK on Saturday. (currently in Italy)

I just opened a simple MIDI Symphony file, and some instances of Pocket Orchestra just to show someone what Digital Audio is all about.
 
I can't even count how many times I've used Smart Swipe so far! Lol. Seriously.
Swiper yes swiping. Swiper YES swiping!

First - Kaspersky Internet Security 2016 thinks "SONAR_Platinum_Setup_22.6.0.26.exe" has a trojan horse virus.
I put it on an exclusion list and eventually got it installed.
 
Second - this is minor, but the problem is still there where if you set 
"track view bus name text" to a color - this will set the bus text AND the folder name text to the same color.
Setting "track view track folder name text" has no effect.
 
This has always worked fine until themes were introduced in 2016.5.
 
I'm sure I posted this in Problem reports - but I can't find it. I'll try again, as I don't know if it should go here in the early release report or the problem reports.

With all this chatter, what does SMART SWIPE do? I need all the help I can get to be SMART.

Have you installed the early release (including docs)?  If so, open up Sonar's help file and search "Smart Swipe track controls".  All will be revealed

"With a single click and swipe, you can now engage or disengage the same track control across multiple tracks in one gesture, without having to click more than a single button. Simply click a button in one track, then drag across adjacent tracks without releasing the mouse button. While swiping, you only need to touch a track strip in order to engage its control--there is no need to carefully position the mouse cursor over the actual button. Only buttons that match the clicked button’s state will change"

Very intuitive! Nice touch!

Does anyone know if there is any issue installing the TH3 cakewalk update if you already have the full TH3 version which has already been updated?

Would depend if there were any additional pre-sets in the cakewalk sets as they are not distributed as part of the full TH3 version.

why would you even bother (to install or update the cakewalk version) if you have the full version?

I was gonna say the same thing - but I guess you might want to install the rest of the boutique FX.
I don't know if the Cakewalk VST3 plugin is the same name as the "full" one...
 

Can anyone tell me whether that record enable button for Tungsten theme got a some better colour 

Yeah it is. It's a little "loud"

I have the preview installed but I can't seem to get the swipe feature to work in any of my projects.  Is there something that needs to be enabled or a specific step, other than clicking in one track (mute, solo, etc.)  and dragging to adjacent tracks without letting go of the mouse click?  Odd that it isn't working for me, any thoughts on mouse settings that could be problematic?
 
Hmm...

That's pretty strange - it works out of the box here, exactly as you describe - click and hold a button control and drag to adjacent tracks - and is immediately intuitive. It's seriously cool! What a simple but totally brilliant/useful idea! I can see this getting some use.
