I'm not seeing the theme editor here. Does there need to be an added install ?

run the "Install Add-ons..." option

How long does this take to finish installing? Download finished in a short time, unpacked in seconds but just sits in installing.

Ok so I said uninstall to cakewalk fired up the installer and it is still stuck. I guess I’ll uninstall the installer too.

It is not automatically added to the Utilities menu. The Theme Editor is called using the Edit button on Preferences > Customization > Themes
 
It is possible to add it to the Utilities menu by editing the registry or using my SONARToolsEditor,  There is a link to the utility on the Sonar Resources and Utilities thread.

 
Not advisable. There is a reason it doesn't exist in the tools menu. Its not compatible with SONAR and will cause confusion if its there.

Just to be clear ('cause I am usually confused)...
 
At least in my case, TE indeed does show automatically in the Utilities menu, and has ever since I installed it. It's there in both Splat & TNSCCFBL (The New Sonar Called Cakewalk from BandLab). Clicking it simply opens TE the same as clicking the Edit button in Preferences.
 
Sonar/Cakewalk has no "Tools" menu that I know of.
 
Just to be clear ('cause I am usually confused).

Haha no the post is all ready but Meng is out travelling. I'll leave the announcement to him. I guess the cat is out of the bag though so enjoy discovering whats new. Hint - there is a lot and tons of bug fixes as well :)
Even more than we had in recent SONAR releases.

I can't wait to read the announcement in full!

I'm curious though, how did you get Celemony to agree to put Melodyne in there? Is Bandlab giving away free licences to Melodyne 4 essential? I'm asking because the first CbB release was free and without 3rd party plugins. Has Celemony agreed, because there's the chance CbB users will want to upgrade in the future, so it's like a form of advertising. Obviously, don't say anything you shouldn't share with us, but what you could tell us, I'm all ears! The same issue kinda applies to dithering. Is Bandlab giving away free licences of POW dithering? Just trying to understand what's happening.

Thanks Scook, I uninstalled the installer also. Redid the install of both. This time Norton AV was happy with the installer (the initial install upset both Norton and Win10 security) and everything seems fine. Even where I have my files stored all stayed as it should.

Don't forget you can also run 'Cakewalk Theme Editor' (as it's now called, since it's a separate app from the original SONAR Theme Editor) from the Windows Start menu, as well as from the Preferences->Themes->Edit button.

I do not believe it is Melodyne Essential. Celemony has a free 30 day trial of Melodyne Studio.

I think I've managed to install the new version; BandLab Assistant is still saying an update is available.
 
My confusing experience so far:
- I opened BandLab Assistant and it said a new version was available (of itself) so I clicked to update.
- This took a couple of minutes but it was an anxious wait as nothing showed on the screen that anything was happening. But it was so all ok.
- The Assistant then said a new update was available for CbB so I clicked for it and it said 'installing' for seven or eight minutes, then finished, although no signs of installation appeared on the screen.
- I opened CbB and checked the version number: no change, still the old one.
- I clicked install again on the Assistant and a few minutes later all the expected popups appeared unpacking and installing the new files.
- I was then asked if I wanted to install Studio Instruments and clicked 'no'.
- I opened CbB and all seems well, including the Powr dithering options reappearing (thanks guys!)
- But: the Assistant is still saying 'a new version is available'.

Puzzled.
EDIT: I installed again and got to the same problem. I guess if I don't want Studio Instruments I will always have to put up with the Assistant telling me I need a new version. Bring back the Command Centre which understood me!

I just went here for the latest version of BA

I had no problems, yesterday, either with the BandLab Assistant or updating CbB.

I had a similar experience when updating BA. Ultimately, I quit BA and restarted it. After restarted, BA updated OK. The current version of BA is 3.0.8.

My problem was when it said it needed to close the assistant, instead of clicking ok, I clicked cancel, so next time it said there was an update. However this time I clicked ok and all was good. I think sometimes we just click automatically without slowing down.

Finally finished downloaded and installed here. Feels good so fare. My compliments to the chef.
 
On the critical side, the process for me took forever (2 hrs ++). Needed to leave it overnight to get the job done. 
Would have been nice with a progress indicator on the download part, as well as the install part. 
I first did the update of BA to v3.0.8, then selected the Update option (without add-ons). 
 
That being said, when I got down here in the studio this morning ... CbB fired up without issues. 
Status in BA is "Up to date" ... I'm now considering installing some of the add-ons ... will probably 
leave out "Melodyne" as I already have something version with some codes that came with SO. 
Hope it's not a once in a lifetime offer and that I'm missing out on something here :)

Thanks for the clarification Noel, and also thanks for the great job you are obviously doing with CbB. Much appreciated.
