Beagle
[yawn]

Shhhhh. Beagle is almost asleep.
 
When he nods off grab his becan and run while I rub his belly.
 

There are some cases where it will be more useful, like if you want to add a bunch of audio tracks into a folder.
 
However, if I want to add an audio track set to Input 2 of my KA6, with my favorite amp sim and reverb loaded into the FX bin, track templates are the obvious way to go.

Personally, I would have preferred if the bakers had put all that software engineering time into making the FX state of being on or off more apparent than this new feature.

But for what it is, I think it will be helpful especially to beginners.

That is an Excellent idea about the FX state being more apparent. Currently, it is almost impossible to tell which FX are active in the mixers Fx bin.

UI Themes

It’s your studio, it’s time you get to decide how it looks. You can keep using the standard SONAR skin, or download newly designed skins directly from Cakewalk. Plus, we’ll provide tools so you can easily design and use your very own custom-made UI skins.
 

While a mostly redundant redo it still looks way more intuitive than the old method and I think it will be a welcome change.

I would like to see this new feature insert the new track at the current selected track location instead of placing it at the end of all the tracks.
If no track was selected then it would place the new track at the end of all tracks.
 

rtucker55 is correct in his opinion, I think. It's a neat feature but not nearly as worthy of being the top billed feature they are making it out to be. Especially since there are ways to do exactly what this does already in place.

that seems somewhat marginal, given there are multiple ways to do this with current Sonar.

As a feature, yeah, it's sorta.... OK.    And although it's not completely clear in the video, the UI itself looks pretty nice.    I'm hoping it's a sign of things to come.    Glass half full and all.
