• Copy & Paste of lanes has been improved along with the visual feedback with the new active lane
• Automation lanes now have a name field that can be customized
• Automation lanes now show active lane
• Splits across clips are no longer visible when comping to improve visual feedback of promoted clips
• The automatic fades on clips are now easier to see at different zoom levels
• New Comping Cursor
• New Stretch Cursor
• New Take direction can now be customized in Preferences | Record
• Adjusting Crossfades is now done via [Ctrl] in Lanes
• Changing the Stretch of a clip is now done via [Ctrl]+[Shift]
• Red, Yellow, & Blue hit zones flags have been removed
• Fade indicators in the corners of clips have been removed

 
Plug-in Browser Enhancements

• Plug-in can now be categorized in the browser using Type, Manufacturer, or Category
• Plug-ins without a category can be set to an existing or custom category by right-clicking the plug-in
• Plug-ins can now be in multiple categories i.e. Dynamics and Favorites
• Popular VST2 plug-ins are automatically categorized (UAD, iZotope, SoundToys, NI, and many more)
• Friendly Plug-in names can now be customized through the browser by adjusting the display name when right-clicking a plug-in

 
Quick Group Insert FX
You can now insert the same plug-in across tracks using quick group and right-clicking a FX Bin.
 
SONAR Theme Editor Updated to 1.1.0.22
The SONAR Theme Editor is now localized in all the same languages that SONAR supports. This includes Chinese,  French, German, Italian, Japanese , Russian, & Spanish.
 
Other Misc Fixes:

• VST3 plugins aren't listed in Insert Effect > Audio Effects when custom layout is used

• Double clicking on drum-mapped clip does not open it in Piano Roll when Click Sets Now is Off
• Ctrl+Alt+Scroll Wheel in PRV Timeline Zooms In and Out at Non-Linear & Opposing Rates
• Mouse movement over the tracks pane could cause dropouts when using TH3
• Track folders don't open/close right at first after switching screensets
• Resolved an issue where Replace Synth could cause SONAR to hang
• TV fails to scroll when moving(copying) clip with Shift(+Ctrl) held down
• Fixed an issue where Track Manager Keep Track / Console Visibility In Sync could fail

Thanks Lance and the team!

The Browser make over is really good.  I've been waiting in anticipation for this update, it has been worth the wait.  Well done the Bakers.

At last there is a way to organize plugins :)
Thank you for this feature so long awaited :)

Regards,
Piotr

Thanks for your work!
 
1 question .... with the new browser and categories settings ... if I have hidden vst2 in preferences should VST 2 versions of Sampletank and UHE software appear?

another great update by the boys at cakewalk.
thanks again for all your efforts.

Got it.  Love the browser updates.  Really useful.  Thanks Bakers!

Yep the new browser is sweet, I can find things instantly. For instance I looked in instruments and found my Ivory program, one click and it opened right up !!! Lush !! 

Thanks for the new browser.

I like the lanes and comping improvements a lot !

I spend some time last night comping a vox track.  The new tools work well.  The clip fades improvement is very much appreciated.  With the fixes over the last several patches, I can comp much quicker. 
 
Thanks Cake!
