Oh oh... I'm thinking my last night reply to you Dyo has been 'deleted' by higher powers...? Odd..

Anyways, the essence of it related to a few things such as agreeing totally about moving faders and transport control. One other point was that the recent review of Windows 8 involved a MOTU device which would appear to spell the end of the 700R at least in Cake world? If Cake don't use it, why are we?

Anyways, will see if this post disappears and hope it was just a 'blip'.
Cheers.

I just noticed that the General SOLO Button does not light up, when a BUS is solo'd. Is it supposed that way? Has it always been this way? You think it's a bug?

How would you solo a buss? A buss depends on the tracks feeding it. If you solo a buss, you need to solo the tracks associated with it also.
 

How? By simply pressing the Solo-button on the Bus?
At least in Sonar X1 I can easily solo a BUS. I guess everything else is taken care of by the system.
 
Example1: I route all my strings to a BUS and then SOLO that specific BUS. I get to hear the strings only.
Example2: Each string gets a SEND to the same BUS, that BUS has reverb inserted. I solo that specific BUS and get to only hear the reverbation of the strings.
 
We might not talk about the same thing.

What happens when you press the General Solo Button? When nothing is soloed? When something is Soloed?

You're right. The general buttons do only affect the Tracks mode, not the BUS mode, even when pressed while in BUS mode.
It's probably always been this way. And it makes sense.
So false alarm on this one.

Anyone looked at this?

Ok, I got something.
Please tell me, if you experience it too and whether it's disturbing or not:

1) Upon changing a channel, the setting for the EQ-Button always reverts to "Compressor" (probably the first item in your Pro-Channel respectively).

That's not that big of a deal, however I'm sure it would be far more convenient, if the setting for the EQ-Button was remembered throughout changing tracks.


2) Upon clicking on any open windows (VSTi e.g.) the same happens - the setting for the EQ-Button reverts to "Compressor", even though you did not even change the channel.

3) When the EQ-Button is lid (no matter what mode it is in) and you doubleclick on a VSTi on the Synth-Rack, the ACT-values are shown on the channel strip control screen. However the ACT-Button does not light up - the EQ-Button stays lid instead.

4) When the SEND-Button is lid and you doubleclick on a VSTi on the Synth-Rack, the ACT-values are NOT shown on the channel strip control screen (which now is blank) AND the ACT-Button does not light up - the SEND-Button stays lid instead. AND: now pressing the ACT button does not reveal the ACT-values either - you in addition have to press one of the PAGE-Buttons, to get to the ACT-values.


These seem to be minor bugs on their own, but as a whole they add up to the confusion that (especially when on a roll) you don't know, which parameter you're just editing with the channel strip control knobs and buttons. Because the lights don't always add up, or you are actually changing values for a different track, as Mully, Dyonight and John T explained a few postings above.

The Pro-Channel kind of broke the VS-700 channel strip control.

Just discovered another thing:

5) When you edit a BUS via the Channel Strip Control, and then hit the Track-Button (to view Tracks), the Channel Strip Control still controls that BUS, even though you have a properly selected Track in front of your eyes on the console.

So, upon switching between BUS and TRACK view, the Channel Strip Control does not switch accordingly - and I think it definitely should!

With the new enhanced prochannel on X2: does switching tracks still revert the channel strip control focus to the first prochannel module on top? (I think ideally it should only do that, when the module selected does not exist on the target track.)

I would like to be able to select EQ on the console and than switch through the tracks and always control the EQ-module. Right know I always have to press EQ for each track again and again.

Regarding bugs 1)-4): I hope they get resolved, when the now broken channel strip is fixed http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.aspx?m=2672481
