The ability to undo when you accidentally select audio transients on a track. :)

1) Nice would be an overhaul of the good old TTS-1. There are some nice sounds in it, but when it comes to twaek them, and use automation, that seems impossible. I tried out to edit some selected instruments presets, change for example filter, reso: Can't create an automation lane for them in the 4 audio outs, and what I change manually will be discraded when I start playback.
Please. And: There are quite some audio banks which have a lot of empty spaces. There could be modifications of instrument presets that are in the first bank.
2) Another fine thing would be then the import of .scl files for microtuning.
3) Another feature I really miss is on the note editors side.  XML import and export. More graphical possibilities concerning writing notes instead of editing in the piano roll.
4) Quantising, grid: Would be nice to have more options than straight quaver, semiquaver... and so on, and the triplet variety. Quintuplets, and septuplets would be great (the latter will of course be approx, but with 240 ticks for one quaver that's ok).
 

Zoom's R24 ASIO driver didn't want to work with the Sonar version from Bandlab on a fresh Windows 10 installation, the Bandlab installation broke ASIO completely for all applications, installing and uninstalling ASIO4ALL fixed that though...
Using the Zoom R24 as controller interface made SONAR crash when hardware sliders/buttons are used, even uninstalling and installing the original Sonar did not help.

Reinstalled Windows 10 and using SONAR Professional 23.10.0.14 now, no issues with the R24 what so ever.

Hi. Just wanted to let you know that ASIO4ALL is NOT an ASIO driver.
It is a WDM wrapper (if I'm not mistaken) to let you use devices without ASIO driver at low latency.
Some people have had success using it though, but I haven't had the need as my devices have its own drivers.
If your Zoom has its own drivers, I'd uninstall and leave ASIO4ALL uninstalled.
All the best.

sonar/cbb historically seems to have more issues than most with the asio4all driver, must be something to do with how it uses drivers, maybe something to do with the deep windows integration of sonar/cbb?
 
but like zargg said, always use the manufacturer's own asio drivers, if available, to utilise the full functionality of your device... if you have to use asio4all, make sure you have the latest version from http://www.asio4all.org/
 
good luck!

Hi All,
      I must say it's great to see a lot of work go into CBL, I use Cake for both in the studio and with the band for live performance. Yes, I know a lot of people tell me that I should be using another program but I have used Cakewalk for many many years and set it up so that it just works, and it's far easier to go from one PC to another on the same program.
        Some of the problems since changing from SonarX3 or SPLAT for live performance to CBL has been when you set up a playlist of say 20 songs, once you get to the 5th song you start noticing that the previous songs are still loaded and not closing down, which take valuable CPU and RAM resources, and have caused some issues.
          I do remember with SonarX3 you could either install a lite version for Live performance or install the full DAW for Studio use. This would be a great feature to have back.
          I do all of the processors for the extra backing, whether it be MIDI to VST Synths or prerecorded instruments on the Studio PC and convert everything to wave file into separate tracks, the lighting is done via MIDI note for these tracks as well if needed and because the tracks are then outputted to separate tracks to the mixer there is really no extra processing required by Cakewalk except to output the MIDI notes to the lighting rig, which is done via Ethernet. In other words, as people have said "Just a Player with extra outputs".


Problems I have encountered are-
    1: Songs not closing down after being played
    2: Even when going thru the normal process of hiding and taking away the "Inspector" and "Browser" Tabs they still show up else were on the screen in the playlist view. These can take up Valuable room on a 12' Monitor.
    3: Since the last update I am constantly getting a "Groove play"  or "Google Groove player" error message Not sure what this is.
    4:  When I updated to CBL I am unable to do a lot of MIDI mapping or I have to use external programs to do it for me.
 
In conclusion, CBL is a fantastic DAW which when used properly and within the constraints of the program works none stop. I have like many other people, spent a lot of money, time and effort into an accomplished art form and don't wish to convert over, to a practice of having to change too much. The old saying, if it ain't broke don't fix, does apply but if you can improve it also applies.

Keep up the great work.
Thanks, Meng :)

I would love better control surface support, I just ordered an icon qcon pro x with extender and I already know it's gonna be a nightmare to integrate it into tdfkas. And the master fader not working on the controller, what's up with that? There has to be a way to fix that. If I can't make it play well I might have to move away from tdfkas. :-(
 
I would also like it if we could make the faders longer for more precision. Other than that I love Cakewalk, it always does what I need

The Icon qcon prox should work fine in Mackie Mode.
 
There's three things you have to do:
1. Add Mackie Control, and Mackie Control XT within Preferences->Control Surfaces.
 
2. To get the extender & main controller working with 16 tracks, go to Utilities->Mackie Control, and on the dialog box:

• Click the configure layout button
• turn the v-pot on track 1 of the icon qcon one click clockwise
• then click the layout button again.

This configures the extender to control tracks 1-8, and the main qcon pro to control tracks 9-16. If you want it the other way around, use the v-pot on the extender.
 
3. To control the master bus, you need to set the Master fader to "Bus", and then select the number of the master bus (usually 1).
 
While you're on that dialog, I'd enable "Select Highlights Track" as well.

Well you can set up the busses the way you like in a blank project and save that as a project template.  So when you then start a new project with that templete, all of your busses are there from the start.  Then insert your track templates, and off you go.
