Hi all,
QA just nudged me, and pointed out some of your comments re touch in the Track View time ruler. We just double checked, and unfortunately it seems that the issue is only partially fixed after all. Thanks for reporting it. We've made a note, and will do our best to fix any remaining issues in the next release.

I'm experiencing a "Track Pane" midi clips select/move issue...

After installing Splat64 2017.9 on my dell XPS 8900 w10, any previous project with midi tracks loaded
had the following malfunction:

1. With smart tool active select a midi clip with move tool auto activated in the clip label
and drag it to some midi track and the move tool still appears in the label for the clip in
the new location.

2. Press CTRL+Z to undo the move, and the move tool no longer appears in the label in the restored
position.
 
3. If the clip now in the restored position, still shows as selected, a CTRL+X followed by a CTRL+Z
will reset to normal tool functions. If the clip is expicitly deselected then the move tool remains
unavailable for the clip even if explicitly selected from the tools module.

Additionally:
A new project with freshly recorded midi clips doesn't exhibit this behavior on a new midi track but...
If a midi track is copied via the clipboard from an old project to a midi track on a new project, the issue as
above persists... If the project is saved in this state on re-loading it the state remains.

Last, in at least one project for the first clip in one of the midi tracks with snap settings as "measure" and "by"
the move acted as snap "to", other tracks seemed OK in this regard, but you never know for sure.

Can anyone shed any light on this behavior, is this a bug or only a quirk on my system??? I don't recall this happening
on previous Splat versions.
 
EDIT: Ditto for audio clips & Splat32, same undo issue on clip drag & move...

At the moment I think DAWs are generally in the Stone Age of touch, and SONAR is in the Bronze Age. I'm looking forward to see what the Iron Age and Industrial Age bring




This is very much my feeling. It seems like we're getting close but not there yet. But I'm hopeful that sometime in the next three-ish years, I'll be doing a big studio upgrade and ditching the control surface for a big Surface Studio-style touchscreen.

I'm not personally that excited about the dial. I think some combination of touch for most stuff, but with a small Console One-style box-o-knobs for certain more tactile tasks seems like my ideal.

I thought there was a way to download the eZine without letting Issuu profile me?
Does anyone have a link directly to the PDF?

Some platforms show a download button without signing in. If not, you can just make up an account with a bogus email. Even if it's bogus, it still lets us know which articles generate the most interest so I can keep writing similar material for future issues.

Thanks @Anderton - I appreciate the note on how it provides value to Cakewalk.

i can read it without signing in, this is in waterfox browser (firefox x64 build), although it seems to be a single doc so i'm not sure how they differentiate between "articles", is it by page?

Yes, the feedback is invaluable. For one thing, it showed that people really pay attention to the articles on the 30 freebies, so I know it's worth spending time on describing what the presets, samples, etc. do.
