Is Sonar Free Tier limited only for a month?
Amberwolf replied to Tomoko Mikami's topic in Cakewalk Sonar
That sounds much easier for the average user to understand. -
Is Sonar Free Tier limited only for a month?
Amberwolf replied to Tomoko Mikami's topic in Cakewalk Sonar
No need to apologize--it wasnt' directed at anyone, it is simply a fact that this kind of question is going to be asked dozens, probalby hundreds or thousands of times. Also, there will be even more people that don't ask because they do find the answer in an existing thread, but shouldn't have had to come find it because the software itself should have clarified it for them in it's own message. I'd like to help prevent the wasting of time of support / dev personnel on it, when there are many more important things they could be doing. (FWIW, if a common message to a user of any device, software, etc., requires clarification, it is a poor message--even if it is accurate, if it is not complete it is insufficient and should be replaced with one that does not. You wouldn't want a traffic sign that makes STOP unclear, for instance.... -

Change Log What’s new in SampleTank 4.2.6 Removed discontinued SampleTank libraries from default browser view. General reliability improvements I checked what discontinued SampleTank libraries were removed from my specific default browser view. Miroslav Philharmonik 2 Syntronik Free Note: I had to do a full rescan of the content for all of the content to appear in Sampletank 4 after performing this update. I am pretty sure no actual content is removed, however. For instance, the Miroslav Philharmonik 2 content still appears when you search (though Miroslav Philharmonik 2 content only shows if no categories are selected)

@Jonathan Sasor Thank you for clarification! Now I'm relieved! @Amberwolf I'm sorry that you had to see my question again. I searched the forum first for the situation but could not find it. -

The phrasing was updated for build 48 that dropped on Friday. It now says "Activation Refreshes on: [date]" -

FWIW, I'd rather have it err on the side of caution and keep unnecessary data than ever remove any files I might want to keep for any reason.

Perhaps the notification within the software could be clarified to explain this to users so you and any support personnel at bandlab don't have to keep answering this over and over and over and over and over..... -

This is just referring to when the app needs to refresh its lease. If you're online, it'll just automatically get this and you can keep working at the free tier, no issue. -

I migrated to Sonar from Cakewalk by Bandlab. I would like to use Free Tier so pressed "evaluate" instead of getting a membership subscription. Now, [about Sonar] says it expires after a month. Do I need to get a subscription after this date or do I get to keep updating the evaluation mode?

We know that the free tool is very robust and many of the features are not even used by all users who will never need them. So, it is clear that many of us use it and others do not. For you, it seems that what is available in the free version of SONAR is satisfactory. So everything is fine. Wonderful. However, for other users, like me, some of the features that have now become paid were used a lot in the free version. In short: I want the same "toolbox" that existed in Cakewalk to be present and free in SONAR. Other innovations and tools created by the capacity and improvement of technology that are paid, if they interest me later on and I want and can pay, I will add them to my toolbox. I want to make it clear that I think there is a tremendous evolution and the discontinuation of Cakewalk is the right thing to do, but under the conditions I mentioned.

She's eye-candy and ear-candy! Ol' Robert's still got it too.

It's quite simple to check, although I think they should make these considerations explicit and perhaps the developers could better respond. In my case, I use the Dithering options that were available for free in the export, now there is only TRIANGULAR. Cakewalk SONAR itself does not explain this in more detail.

You may well be correct, but try this, create an untitled project & keep it untitled, add an instrument, audio & midi tracks, record some midi & bounce the midi to audio. Check the Audio Data folder that's where untitled audio data is found and you'll see just the bounced track no preview files, and of course closing the untitled project without saving gets rid of the bounced track... Repeat the above but this time save as a named project with copy all audio checked and in the new audio folder you'll see just the bounced track no preview files. Delete the bounced track and re-bounce, save the project & both preview & bounce files appear but so does the previous bounce track which should be deleted. Now that ain't right unless I've made an error, don't think I did. Meanwhile I'll manually delete the useless preview files 😁

Yup and their logo is tre cool too

Babu, I recently learned that alembic is the vessel an alchemist uses to break down one metal to make another. I thought that was interesting. This is why they named the company that way... breaking down the component parts and rebuilding it to make gold. This was mentioned in the book, this is all a dream we dreamed.

For me that SonicBundle is one of the very best purchases I made ITB. Just check out this succinct overview. It’s pretty incredible.

I liked this. It made me like her even more.

Respectfully, this is not universally true, that's it's better. Today I was trying to give new sonar another chance. Set it up on my laptop, opened up a cbb session with a vst drum I was programming, and in new sonar it wouldn't follow the project on playback. In cbb worked perfectly no issue. Mind you, I'm not saying cbb is without issue, I'm just saying that new sonar isn't inherently "better".

My Zoom MRS-8 (MRS stands for mobile recording studio) uses SD cards. However the maximum card size is 1 gigabyte. I bought a 10 pack back when they were still available and I realised they were getting rare in retail.

Some questions on Sonar vs. Cakewalk by Bandlab
Wookiee replied to Leander's topic in Cakewalk Sonar
@Leander the Cakewalk Sonar Professional you refer to was a product by Gibson. There is no financial connection between the new Cakewalk and the Gibson products. Bandlab Technologies purchased the IP to the code not the products or its legacy. They have however very kindly maintained access to the old severs. In answer to your question regarding your key, the simple answer is no, the complete answer is no. As with previous iterations of Cakewalk products installing the New Cakewalk Sonar installs in the Cakewalk directory tree, with the core code in its own directory. Provided you follow the installation instructions you will lose nothing. You say you don't wish to install to the C drive do you the program? If you already have version of Cakewalk ??? Install when you open the new version it will ask if you wish to migrate your settings, i.e. audio, file locations etc. I suggest you use a search engine to search these forums for the rest of your questions, which have all been extensively answered many time recently. -
Guess they didn't invite the bidet, plunger, or thermometer to the discussion.
