Great balance with the monthly updates. Really enjoying them. Keep up the great work!!!
Thanks!

When a future update states they've created a Tab section that works strongly with their next phase.........a tabbed section designed for rock steady use with live performances, such as Live does, and one can go from real creations to a performing screen like Ableton Live or Studio-one (I believe), and notation, touch screen moving from song to song, set to set..... we'll soon see Sonar take first place in all software polls.

Able to make great music.
Able to use on stage and live performance .
Able to set up large touch screens for karaoke type use.
Able to have true music on large floor screens or teleprompter style hints for performers

A big touch enabled floor screen to control an upgraded SONAR tweaked for live performance would be frigging awesome. It would have to be beer-proof of course.

That's been there for a long time. Get yourself a Behringer fcb1010 MIDI controller with the moded eprom for about 150 bucks and set up MIDI bindings. As beer save as you can get as it contains very little electronics that you could repair yourself ... anything with a cpu and a screen needs to be safely away from audiences and not at your feet if you want to be sure to get the full performance done

You can open a new project at any time, with the start screen open or closed, without having to name it or create a folder by typing Ctrl+N. Ctrl+O works similarly. Please read the eZine for details, especially for how to use Ctrl+N when you want to have multiple SONAR projects open simultaneously. 
 
As to your template, I'll install 2017.08 my main computer and see what happens. On the office computer I'm using now, I moved all my existing templates to a different folder to see which six templates SONAR installed. 

Thank you, Craig, for your answer. You are right I started play with new Sonar not looking at eZine. And I was unpleasantly surprised by changed Sonar behaviour about my habits. Of course, it is nice addition Ctrl-N feature but for me if it is addition not replacement. Kind of microsoft-ish  in type 'we know better how you should work' :(
Sure, I can get used with Crtl-N instead mouse click. I have wide keyboard but when I spread enough my fingers of my left hand I can reach 'N' .  I could also redefine my shortcut probably to have it more convenient but now after lesson learned I  must remember to export them as with last update I lost my previous ones... Maybe I am cursed but almost after every update there are something I need to adjust to my pre-update settings :( Plugins membership, some options etc, now few other things... This time little bit painful of course is my template lost. Sure, I should do backup it, and in fact it is not such big deal to create it again from scratch... But it is a little bit annoying if you would ask me about my feelings after updates...

Anyway, I will try probably new update every month as I have always big curiosity of new things and first of all Sonar still lacks many things which I would desperately need to improve/fix so I hope every month something of those magically will appear...
 
BTW another thing seems to disappear... In one of my project files set I had midi file  to keep tempo as it was changing many times. I imported it after update to empty project to start with tempo set and after it import waves and nothing... No tempo changed... I fall into doubts maybe thought it was not correct midi... So imported into MuLab (free DAW) to check it and ta-dam, I got tempo set...
So I am cursed or developers don't like me and there is special algorithm 'if user=Piotr than disable random_but_important_for_him' feature' :-/

SONAR strips tempo data from MIDI files during import. Instead of importing the MIDI file, open the MIDI file. Opening the file will preserve the tempo data. Then save as a new Cakewalk project.

You can find the latest Tech+Music eZine for 2017.08 on issuu.com, or open it directly from the 30 Years page.
 
The 30 Years page is also where you can redeem the 30 new CA-X series amp sim effects chains.

 
Many thanks both to you and the bakers for all you do!


I do have a question, however. I did DL the 30th Anniversary TH3 presets and ran the installer, but TH3 doesn't seem to find them (it's probably me, I'm sure. I've just started looking at TH3 as I've used Guitar Rig mostly to this point). And also, in Tech + Music, when discussing the the presets, there is a picture of something at the top of each preset article that looks like an amp head; is that a "view" for TH3? How do I get there?
 
Again, please forgive my unfamiliarity with TH3; I'm sure that my "dunderheadedness" is at the root of these issues.
 
Thanks in advance.

Look in the FX Chain folder under Audio FX in the browser for the 30th Anniversary CA-X Amps.

Thanks, Scook! Will do when I get home.

Yes, you are right. Thank you. It is opening, not importing modifying tempo.
