Hello everyone!

Does anyone what is the color scheme that the Cake folks used at NAMM 2010? See this link for reference:

Also, I don't know why but all the preset color schemes are gone and I can't find them under Options>Colors. Does anyone know the default location on my PC and how to bring them back?

Thanks

 
That's the default color scheme (Dark Side) that came with Sonar 8.5.

Thanks Jose. Like someone else somewhere around here, Sonar 8.0 comes with various color schemes, whereas 8.5 seems to come with like 4-5. Strange.....

I just wanted to check - are there any Green segmented meter updates that will work with 8.5.2?  I tried Buddy's but I'm getting the "wrong version" error. 

I'm just gatting back into Sonar after a couple years away, and really hate the blue meters...

OK guys, I've consolidated my Patches into two 'PatchPacks' on my site. Faders & Meters combined. Easier to Keep track of them that way. Versions supported are Sonar 8.3.1 (32-Bit & 64-bit) and Sonar 8.5.2.222 (32-Bit & 64-bit). 40 manually replaced images in a total of 16 different patch files as it currently stands. So take your pick, etc.

I've made a new, more detailed version of my "Classic" fader (all nice n' shiney!).


They should work fine for everyone. Just remember to back up your DLL file first (instructions included in the patchers as always)

Check the link in my Signature!

Looks great...unfortunately I couldn't get the patcher to work...Some error message like "TTSRES85.dll patch doesn't exist"

DOH! Stupid me! *LOL*

Will try again! Thanks!

WORKED! Looks great to me (I'm an old fart from vintage console days)! Love the "Classic Blue" in my Console view!

Hi all:

Can buddy or anybody help me?

I used the x64 8.5 patch for green meters, but after I patch it. the meters are still white. How do I get the green meters?

Hahaha.

Thanks Buddy110 that did it. It looks nice, too.

Thanks for sharing. I will try to remember to go to your site and make a small, but appreciative donation Monday.

That is a compressed file you download. You use a a compressed file utility such as WinRAR to unpack that file. Then, you will see the patch which you can move to the correct directory and execute it.
 
Here's a link to a free utility that can unpack .7z files: http://www.7-zip.org/

Nope, that's not it. 


I tried downloading it 4 times, each time it's the same thing.
I'm on XP Pro 32 bit.
Are these made for Windows 7 maybe?

I don't understand what you mean when you say "I tried downloading it 4 times, each time it's the same thing."

Download Buddy's patchpack from here: http://www.somhairle.com/SonarUItweaks.html

From the link I gave to 7 Zip, you should see this:

7-Zip is a file archiver with a high compression ratio.
Download 7-Zip 4.65 (2009-02-03) for Windows:
Link Type Windows Size Download .exe 32-bit 1 MB Download .msi x64 1 MB

Cliick on the Download for .exe 32 Bit. You should, then see this:

Your 7-Zip download will start shortly…

Problems with the download? Please use this direct link or try another mirror.

If your download doesn't start, click on the hypertext that says "direct link" without the quotes. The download should start. Then install 7 Zip, and after the installation, rightclick on the file that says " Buddy110_PatchPack_Sonar_8.5.2.222" and select select 7 Zip/Extraxt here and that should extract Buddy's patches to a folder that's named "Buddy110_PatchPack_Sonar_8.5.2.222"

The patch files should be in that folder.

Tom, I just saw your last post.
What I meant was that I tried down loading Buddys files 4 times.
Since WinZip couldn't open them I though they may have gotten corrupted somehow.

I never had a file WinZip couldn't un-zip before. So I wasn't sure what was going wrong.

Thanks for your help.

Mike

Hey Mike, sorry you had those problems with the archive. Personally, I'm a big fan of WinRar, but in the past couple of years I started using 7-zip for the better compression it offers (especially the latest versions). If you do try it, try compressing a wav file with 7-zip's compression set to "ultra" and see what you think compared to winzip. That and it's OpenSource. That said, glad you got it sorted. xD
