Duckbar 1.3.1

New Duckbar version 1.3.1 is now available.
Support for X3b added + dozens of other enhancements and fixes.
 
- Where is it?
- Start search here: http://www.sonarmods.com/sonarmods/forum/index.php/board,9.0.html
 
Login required for download.
 
- What is Duckbar?
- To quote Matrix: Unfortunately, no one can be told what the Duckbar is. You have to see it for yourself.
 
My personal favorite Duckbar features:
- Batch freeze / unfreeze audio tracks and soft synths (Track President)
- Create list of project tracks (Track President)
- Clear Picture Cache but don't remove the newest files (Maintenance | Clear Picture Cache)
- Powerful SONAR color schemes editing capabilities (Normal Colors, EXE Colors, Runtime Colors, MySky)
- Full featured Utilities Menu Editor
- Recent Project Files manager (which I use a lot to save sessions in my recording studio)
- Duckbar Protection; save important SONAR settings and files just like in Windows Backup/Restore
- Drag & Drop mods and individual Skylight graphics to _really_ customize your favorite DAW
- Floating, customizable toolbar (including Undo and Save buttons)
- Built-in KVAK programming language which let's you make advanced and very low-level (even some Windows Kernel things are accessible straight inside Duckbar!) commands to control SONAR
- Built-in Tap Tempo and Delay Time Calculator
- Toast messages
- And lots of other goodies. :)
 
Dedicated mods for X3 have not yet been finished but X2 mods work OK.
 
Final note: Duckbar is my hobby project and Cakewalk has nothing to do with this. Bakers have been kind to let me share this program with you but it's not supported by Cakewalk. If you run in problem, remove any mods and reproduce problem before contacting Cakewalk Support or writing to this forum. Visit sonarmods.com forums to get help with any Duckbar problems you may have.
 
Final note 2: I'm sorry but there is no plan to release "b" update for Duckbar 1.07. Move on and download 1.3.1.  :D

    > I want my 1.07B update first!
     
    You won't get it. The word "fix" is misused, in my opinion. These aren't bug fixes that we're charging for. They are improvements and changes in behavior. Many of these decisions were made by reviewing survey results, analyzing Tech Support case data, etc.
     
    An example to help you understand: EXE Colors is behaving a bit differently in 1.07. This is a result of redesigns required for the new workflow. So, we're not just holding back fixes maliciously. Hope you understand.

    Panu, is there any way to change the color of the Active Track? I know it must be different with the new X3 layout but that was my favorite mod. It's tough to see the active track in a busy mix. Thanks again!
