Will these two issues be addressed in the Xb update?

These are annoyances and I wonder if it will be addressed in the Xb update?

1. The Pro Channel overlap, will this be fixed for those users that have monitors and soundcards without that extra high resolution?

They should have made it to fit all resolutions starting at 1024x768 my high quality monitor CRT monitor won't allow me that without warped screen images.


2. Naming of new Projects, are we still gonna be forced to name every single new project?

Why can't they make it default to a basic name, without being forced to having to name the new project.  I get tired of being forced to name every new project, it's kinda annoying, when I start up a new project I wish it would default to a basic name if we don't add a name to it.

Can you view the whole Pro Channel in Sonar plus + with a 1024x768 resolution?

Can you view the whole Pro Channel in Sonar plus + with a 1024x768 resolution?

Contrary to what dlesaux says, yes you can. If you enable 'Full Screen Mode' and then switch the P/C to 'Compact EQ Module' you can see the whole thing even with the Control Bar visible.
 
Edit: Correction: You can't quite see the ProChannel preset selector at the top. You would have to temporarily hide the Control Bar to see that (using the 'C' key or the SONAR Plus 'C' toolbar button).
 
Edit 2: Here's what it looks like. This picture represents the entire screen at 1024 * 768. Notice that there is no Windows Task Bar, and no SONAR window title bar at the top (both temporarily hidden). If you have Internet Explorer, open it up and press F11 - it does exactly the same thing so you can see how it works.
 
Edit 3: You can also use all the knobs on the full size ProChannel as long as the Control Bar is hidden. The only thing you won't be able to see is the compressor meter, compressor type switch, and preset selection stuff right at the top.

These should give you a bit more room (mentioned above by a few others):

• At the bottom, below the ProChannel: Display > Module Options > ProChannel > Compact EQ
• Press "C" to show/hide the Control Bar

2. Naming of new Projects, are we still gonna be forced to name every single new project?

Do one of these two things (either will work):

• In the New Project File dialog, uncheck "Store Project Audio in its own Folder"
• Press CTRL+N to make a new project

You don't have to name new projects. When the project dialog pops up, just un-check "Store Project Audio in its Own Folder" and hit "OK". You can do a save-as when you are ready to name the project.

For me personally though, I just name it...even if it's basically gibberish or just a date. It takes less than a few seconds to type a few characters. But like I said, if you don't want to name it just uncheck the box, hit OK, and commence with rocking (or rolling, etc...).

EDIT: oops I see Zyler already hit this - and even included the helpful CTRL+N tip.

Thanks to Zyler & Brandon for the tips!

Thanks

Ok, how is the Sonar Plus toolbar supposed to work?

Do the toolbar supposed to automatically load when the Sonar X1 program starts or do the user have to load the Sonar Plus toolbar separately after the program have been started?

When I start up the Sonar program I find myself having to find that Sonar Plus icon and start it up separately?

Is there a way to make the Sonar Plus toolbar load automatically when the Sonar X1 program start up?

Thanks
