I think it should be automatically downloaded with the release with the date as part of its name.

I feel for you both; Craig for his long time frustration that many don't read his eZine page and rhWheeler for his difficulty with locating it.  Many of us have experienced problems with its location and have suggested a more prominent presence.  It is one of those "Once you know where it is, you know where it is"  but until you finally learn where CW is putting it, the eZine remains much like a "Holy Grail" of useful information.

I am the official Rodney Dangerfield of Cakewalk . Glad those who can track it down find it useful, but also, don't forget that the help files get updated with each release, and sometimes they include additional details...the eZine is more about descriptions and applications than down-in-the-weeds details.

Although I had looked at the update summary page, I realized this is not the same as the "release eZine." But it was quite the adventure trying to find the eZine. Searching knowledge base for "eZine" yields links to some for earlier release eZines but not the most recent one (yet). The link on the summary page is disguised as "based on" a pdf file, but no mention of the term "eZine" there.

I'm pretty sure (not 100% though) that in the release thread, such as this one, that the a link to the eZine is located fairly early on in the 'Learn More' link that Mr Jackson (or whoever does that release) put in the first post. That's how I remember always finding it. Pretty easy.

I can't figure out how to disable the new start screen?

I wish more people would read the release eZine, many of the questions posed in the forum after release are answered in there.

You shouldn't have to read the ezine to learn how to not get something that wasn't there before. I had the previous start screen toggled off. I had it toggled off via the checkbox that was right on the old start screen itself, which is standard. Lots of s/w has start screens.

Don't take this wrong. I've read the above a few times and I really can't get a grip on what you are trying to get across. Ultimately though if you are saying people shouldn't need to read the ezines or documentation for whatever reason then you are plain wrong.. Sorry :)

Works like a gem and I am loving it...it is very organised and simple to use...This has really made my day!
 
I do not have to go looking for songs to review them or to click every song to find out what it is. I can easily see and detect them. I can tag the songs I am working on or put a list of songs that need mixing together aswell as work on new projects and finish them and move them along. I can now focus on starting and finishing a project, locating it and sorting out a more intuitive way to work. It is great! 

Really nice update... Seems like the start screen is a build up for a collaboration thing..

Thumbs up Cake.. I love it..

The latest update is great and I am enjoying the new features. Music producing in Sonar Platinum is getting better each month ! Thanks

Odd, command center is not showing me any updates.  Am I missing something?
 

Click on the system icon and click on "Check for Updates."

Here's a few things that I'm noticing with this update. Some of this has already been listed in other threads. I will say that I do like the new Start Screen and templates
1) On the Start screen I too can not open projects where I have them saved. My path is as follows: C:\Users\Carl\Documents\Cakewalk Projects\Carl's Originals
2) When I pin a project I cannot unpin it. So now I've got three versions of a song I'm working on and they are all pinned
3) I don't see pictures for the projects either. I have saved 2 version in the new Hopkinton release and still only see a black box. I'm not sure what I should see.
4) When I installed the new update it cleared out my audio devices in Audacity so when I launched it said it couldn't find audio devices and that I wouldn't be able to play or record audio. I did get this resolved but I thought it was something worth noting. I know it was the update because audacity was working the night before. The next morning I updated and then tried to launch audacity later that day and this issue was discovered. Oh, when I went to my audio playback devices the default was set to my M-Audio device instead of my internal Realtek device.
