I posted earlier about ,please, spend some time and give us a better staff view with more comprehensive clefs and dynamic marks! I know a lot of us who use the staff view on a daily basis would love to see an improvement. Even if it were a separate program by Cake to run inside or along side of X1. Otherwise, I'm extremely happy after the last Quick Fix 245!

Zoom Scroll with mouse wheel and other simple ways to increase decrease zoom levels.

The return of a 'Blank' template.


Just an FYI that SONAR already has Fast Zoom. Hold Alt and scroll the mouse wheel to zoom in and out. You can tweak the settings in Zoom Options which is in the Track View's Options menu. Personally, I set the Vertical value to 1.000 so that it only scrolls horizontally, but that's a personal preference.


Also, there is a Blank template you can choose when you click File and then New. With each release I lobby hard for the Normal Template to have no audio or MIDI tracks of any kind but have a Master, Metronome, and Preview bus ready to go, but it gets shot down every time. Send it in as a feture request and maybe something will happen.  


Thanks Seth,

Maybe I should request a few more things that are already there and have users point them out here.

Has the Blank Template been added back since X1a? Or do you still have to have an Audio or MIDI track in order to have a 'Blank' template? Hey wait if there's an Audio track is it still blank?

The Blank Template is still there, and you can save the Normal template (which is what opens when pressing Ctrl + N) however you want. Just click File and then Save As, change the type to Template, then navigate to where the Cakewalk Templates are saved and save over the existing Normal Template.


However, Screensets do not work if there are no tracks in a project. It's a known issue, one that I've lobbied over, and one that we can hopefully fix in the future. 


Thanks again Seth.

I've worked around it with a hidden (Track Manager) Audio track and open that template with Cntrl 'N' as my 'Normal' template but I would like a true Blank template with operational Screen Sets. Maybe someday though I don't think many of us use a true blank template - could be wrong.

Hello everyone,

I'd like to see a CW Pro-Channel-like reverb that models the some ofthe famous vintage-style reverbs, and is stereo. Convolution or otherwise.

I'd also like if the selected track wave preview would update in real time like the bus wave preview.

+1. I don't use Staff View but would love the update for those that really need this feature.

There's only one huge want left for me: VARISPEED.

But, of course, there are a ton of "small wants". For me the name of the game is "integration". Integrate V-Vocal, fully integrate Audiosnap (tho, for the record, it's come a long way), ACT 2.0 (for god's sake please!), completely integrate the Matrix View, fully integrate side-chaining (like, why doesn't it exist as available for every audio stream?)

The rest is keep fixin' and keep implementing. I think some customizations should return (colors, control bar modules, tool settings) and then little things like a "time selected" indicator.

Visual bugs are more and more bizarre here , will post the last one i  had ;)

Feature :

1.Magnetism and grid for pianoroll independant

2.Resolution choice (like in abelton) (talking about the app display resolution)

3.More customisation like panup mods and deeper 


4.Better (it will be easy as it's horrible now) visbilty for folders and their tracks linked....

I wouldn't want to see anything more added to the ProChannel it already takes up too much room.

I too would like to see a varispeed, but I'm not holding my breath,  I don't expect much of X2 other than fleshing out the new GUI better, tweaks, adding some options back in etc.

Ok it seems as the dust is settling , And the noise is down to minimal, Now that CW has implement Hot fixes , And there no longer afraid of them , It seems mostly everyone is happy. The big question is will they release X2 in 5 months? If so what would you want to see?
I like to see them add a basic delay to the pro Channel such as in Fruity loops on each channel, I also like to see a nice Vst plugin Filter , A nice emulation of an Allen and Heath filter would be fine with me.. or a Sherman..
What would you like See?

That would indeed be awesome. I'll see what I can do (no promises, but I'll give it a nudge).  

 
I would very much like to see a digital delay on the pro channel strip. I loved the fact that my DM24 mixer had a delay function on each channel which made for some awesome effects/ mixes. But I don't have that option available anymore since I have went to the Lynx convertors and Toft console. Please consider putiing a delay on the pro channel for audio tracks. And the note values back on the staff and PRV.
