I was miserable until i learned to right click in the ruler.  it NEEDS to be a keystroke.

You can tap the ScrLk key twice :-\

Should we read the manual first...;)

To be honest, the whole "scroll lock on click" deal is a bit esoteric. There is zero affordance and that has been a pet-peeve of mine for a while. Seeing customers talk about it helps it raise to the top of the priority list. So, no. Don't bother with the manual :) Things like this should be more "discoverable."

i used to read the manual when it was a physical book (at least the "what's new" section).   But now I rely on the videos and the forums entirely.  I guess I occasionally search the help files.  Is there really still a "manual", like the ones I have filling up a shelf in my studio?  I have every iteration of cakewalk since pro audio 8, and almost every manual too.
 
THANKS for the scroll lock tip.   I'll use it.

New, big Quadcurve Equalizer window looks very cool and I love the built-in analyzer! But is analyzer pre or post EQ?

It's pretty obvious that it's post if you turn on a high or low pass filter and sweep it up. 
 

Is there a switch to set it?
 

It would be useful. But then again, I guess its primary role is an EQ, and the analyzer part is a bonus.
