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

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

I closed the Band Lab assistant after installing and didn't look for the add-ons - thanks for that.

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

Seems like it hung for you too. Rather than take a chance on the install, I uninstalled and then reinstalled. The second time the install ran to completion.

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.

The "Tools" are the user editable section of the Utilities menu. If there is a theme editor in this menu, it is NOT the new Cakewalk Theme Editor. It is the old SONAR Theme Editor. The editors look similar, the title bars are different.

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 am on the way to being unconfused. It looks like there is no real difference in the 2 TE versions so I assume they are interchangeable/identical.
 
And now that CbB is updated to 24.04.1, TE is no longer in the Utilities menu as it once was. Not sure why it needed to be removed, tho.
