#1.  The minute you bounce a track, it goes back to black again.
 

I think this is the fourth time I say this in this thread. The clip background color going back to black is a normal, expected behavior and I explained it clearly (Did anyone answer the question I posed in post #35?). The only problem (at least for some people here) is that X3 removed the option to specify a default clip background color for the whole track.
 
I suggest you post a feature request if you haven't. Those who need the option back will give you +1. 

The problem is not originally well stated, but it is a problem.
Yes - you can use the inspector to change the clip colors.  And you can even select all the clips on a track and change their colors.
BUT - everytime you record, the new clip colors do not go along with what was selected for that track.
There needs to be a TRACK color option for the background that STAYS for the entire track. That would save a lot of time and hassle.  Is it hard to do?

Hi Jlien X,
 
Yes exactly.  I'm having to post the same thing in this thread as well.  Yes, I will make a feature request. I haven't because I use Duckbar, but I don't want to rely on 3rd party apps anymore.

This is TRULY amazing...  it goes to show most people don't actually read the threads  before posting.
 

First I just want to say that I agree that we should have back the option in the prereferences...
 
But your original post #1, claimed that it was impossible to change clip colors.
I responded, and told you that it was possible.
You said that it wasn't true, and asked for a screenshot (did you think I was telling a lie?) (post#9)
Then in post#10,the word "PREFERENCES" came into the game for the first time in this thread.
now that changes everything.
If you had written this magic word in your first post, a lot of misunderstanding could have been avoided.
And it could have saved you and others a lot of time (and frustration).
 
 
So please stop the rude and angry attitude and take a look in the mirror

fair enough.  to be honest, in my original post I actually didn't know about the Inspector.  I tried it, and then realized it's not a good enough option because of the reasons I stated earlier.
 
Sorry if I was rude.  It was just getting frustrating reading the same things from multiple people (even after I stated how the Inspector wasn't good enough - and people were still replying "INSPECTOR"
 
Again sorry. 

Ahhh. Finaly peace :-)

Yup! and until Cakewalk adds this feature back in, I'm staying with Sonar X3 and my Duckbar config :)

Yes, that certainly needs to be fixed.

I believe that it would also be useful if there was an option for clip colour to follow track colour.

It's amazing that they actually REMOVED this!  It was in X2

Me too.


And I have no wish to re-engage into a "colors aren't important" peeing match because they ARE important - if they weren't there wouldn't be so many people using Duckbar for years now without errors.

Hours spent in front of a DAW should be both visually as well as audibly pleasing.
