LOL.... Shameless plug......

Any way in the SWA Complete Sonar X2 video did you notice that I got to mention songs in 5/4 time. In the Step Sequencer video IIRC. I nearly giggled as I was narrating it.

(See what I did there?)

Briiliant Karl,

Well Done.

BTW< have not started the vid yet. Sorry mate.

That's alright as long as you've paid for it.

If Cakewalk do make the lanes infinitely explodable in the future, I certainly hope they'll make it an option. I love the way it works right now: Expand them, and they become just big enough for my purposes! No more rezising up and down.

It seems, to me, like it would be cool if you click once (or something like that) to make them the size you prefer... and then maybe I could click a few more times to make them the size I prefer.


I thought the ultimate thing, and the thing I had requested as a feature when the survey was sent out, would be the ability to expand any particular layer or lane on the amplitude axis as far as you wish without expanding the ones you don't care or need to see in such detail at the moment. Sort of just like tracks work.

best regards,

While I do like the way Take Lanes work in X2, which is probably obvious, I would like them even more if they had their own version of Auto Zoom so that the selected lane was one size and all others another size.   Turn that off, and you'd get the current behavior where dragging the height of one lane changes them all.

That could work!

I was over at my DAW and I was reminded that when I zoom vertically on tracks and layers in v8.5 I don't actually click at all.

I just press my pen down on my Wacom tablet (which is the equivalent of holding down the left mouse key) where the + or - is on the bottom right margin and the zoom just happens until I lift it off to stop the function.

I can stop at any time, and just zoom a little bit, or I can let it zoom all the way so that a single clip fills the screen.

I love that. it works so fast and effortlessly.

In-Out, it goes so fast I'll bet that's why they call it "zoom".

Interesting...  I literally never use the zoom icons at the lower right corner of the TV.   Instead, I always using keyboard shortcuts and/or timeline zoom.   Gotta love flexibility.
 
Karl probably has his zoom levels predefined in Screen Sets.  
 

I love hot keys, but the way I use my Wacom tablet makes some mouse type stuff seem, to me, to be fast, precise, and ergonomically comfortable.

It seems like a lot of people avoid the traditional mouse, and I sometimes wonder if it's because they are not as comfortable, precise, or fast.

I rarely use a regular mouse myself.

all the best,
mike
