Pwalpwal,
 
Thanks for this link. It is about half the price of Bidule and looks like it will do the same thing. Downloading the demo.
 
Been fixated on trying to control complex routings on a single channel in Sonar. Have used Energy XT for years but time to look for other choices to get CPU load and stability optimized.

The Piano Roll editor switches to whatever MIDI track that you click on in the track view.  I think that is more intuitive that having to select the track you want to work with from within the editor.



Perhaps I'm missing the point, but I find it pretty easy to select/edit different MIDI tracks using the track browser on the left hand side of the PRV.

Soens,
 
Yeah, guess you're right. Apologies for my rant...
 
John

 
No apologies. I was speaking  a bit off humorously.

Soens,
 
Good fun and laughs, but you do got a valid point. Like in the respect and whatever to our hosts allowing us to post on these forums.
 
Irreverence has been my trademark in this life and will not likely change. Trying to do what is proper, but will probably not last for long until reverting back to hell fire and brimstone.
 
Will not mean much in the long term, but one of the flagship moral high grounds of Cakewalk was that you had the license in your hand. There with the Reapers, Minimal Systems, others that carved out an ethic that the end point user was okay with a serial number.
 
ZTA was cool, but the upgrade is now beyond my control. Did the upgrade, but a different feel. I don't own it no more. It is up to Cake to allow activation, or not.
 
This all will be  looked on as the good old days ten years from now. When there will be no more ownership of anything software. Monthly subscription to a Cloud connection. At the will of the developer to pull the plug. It is coming...

That's an ominous prediction.  I hope that competition prevails, and that trend is not in our future.  Besides, I have Splat for life! 
 
There is a reason I don't subscribe to anything by Adobe.  There are other options ...

Not eager to get into a big semantic battle, but when talking about significant for-purchase software, the user never had any ownership. The authors practically always retain ownership.  What you purchase are usage rights.  Those rights are just evolving into different forms now.  I will do just about anything to avoid a monthly, ongoing subscription cost.  I don't have a mortgage, a car loan or alimony payment. I do have cell phone, cable fee, electric bills, and property taxes on a subscription basis.  If anybody knows how to stop those without crawling into an underground wooden box, let me know.

The actual semantics involved with software usage is ownership of a "license to use" vs. renting the "license to use".
 
And taxes are the only absolute certainty ...
