The next CakeTV Live webinar will feature SONAR X2.


OK, someone has to ask the question...  rough estimate when?   I usually watch these after the fact, but I may have to make an exception in this case. 


I believe we are on for September 5th, with an official announcement forthcoming.

The Smart Grid looks awesome, but I noticed that that only the track view and piano roll view were mentioned.  Are we to read anything into the omission of any other view which may provide a glimpse into MIDI data?
Did someone order a Staff View?

Darn it, was it that transparent?

What about in the Staff view?
 
Which may not produce prefect scores but is a useful tool for composition.

I'm sure hoping SV gets some love in X2 <crosses fingers>.

I doubt it...  not because the SV doesn't need attention, but because it really doesn't have a "grid" per se.

Did anyone notice the minim note value on the snap? ....god forbid!

I wonder if this snap to grid setup helps us SV users... Is it a global or per staff/PRV/TRack View
 
I like to set my track view to measure,  but need my SV to handle different values depeding on the note values.
This needs to be addressed..

True but it does follow the global snap settings which is a RPITA.  

What would be nice is if it behaved as the PRV with respect to the appropriate tools.

I would love a customisable Snap Module (or a right-click option) that would let me save, say, three or four different snap options to a separate button for each.

When I'm comping audio, I'm continually swapping between 'Snap to Measure' and 'Snap to 1 Tick @ Nearest Audio Zero Crossing'.

I wonder if this new Smart Grid can accomodate this customisation, or will I be locked to whichever snap method I start with.

Looks tres fab.  I'm an ol feller who likes "total" snap or move by "sample".  Will I still be able to manually set it to "sample" when needed and just leave it on "smart/extreme" when not???

It should except for one detail (zero crossings are global). By holding down "N" you'll be able to pick an alternate setting (i.e. Snap to 1 Tick). But some options are global (zero crossings in this case). Basically if you look at the blog entry, everything in that Preferences config screen is global. But you can have two different configurations for settings on the snap module. And this includes landmarks.
