Can someone tell me how to add these color schemes to my presets? I think we used to be able to do that in Sonar 6 by double clicking on a .reg version of the file, but now that they are .clr files, it seems you can load them and change your current colors but it remains under the name of the previous scheme.

I'm hoping I don't have to load and save each one...

Thx.


You have to load and save each one. Sorry.

There's been a feature request entered against this. The idea would be to just import the .clr and save it under the .clr file's basename as one action (if the color scheme name doesn't already exist). If it turns out you don't like that color scheme, it would be easy enough to just delete it.

Boy, I have to agree, being able to use different color strips for different tracks could be good...but I would prefer I be able to individually toggle this for a track in a project, rather than just rotating through colors via the color scheme. Perhaps both things can be done? I would probably usually have all my track strips be the same color but then I might choose to select a particular strip, right click, choose an alternate color for it, etc.. that would be very handy to say the least.

How about a feature called "Color Groups" where a group could be created with a manually assigned color and tracks could be added at will to said group. When added their track would become the color of the group. This would be a handy way to color all drum tracks, vocal tracks, etc. in a quick and dynamic fashion. And it would be cool if the console could optionally follow the groups.

You know people 'round here have all kinds of FR. Half of 'em are "Wha?" and the other half are "Sure, why not?" (Most of my FR are one or the other.) And a very few are, "You know, that's a really smart idea."

This, my friends, is one of those rare ideas.

There's all kinds of ways to implement it. Tracks in folders get custom colors. But, yes, this does seem most desirable.

Have to agree. This is indeed one of those ideas that is soooo obvious that it just has to be on the next (sub)release of Sonar. It will certainly steal a number of serious users from the competition.

Damn, the simplicity of genius. Hats off to you mr. Silence Dogood
