Check if your samplepath is doubled on the settings. I had the same issue and deleting the copy was the solution.

I would think a business calculates that more people would pay the cheaper subscription price than the higher perpetual license price. So in actuality the number of buyers would be lower than the number of subscribers. Also you'd have to take into account the length of a subscription. Will it be month to month where you can drop at any time or are you locked in for the year? Not to mention a lot of people forget they're even subscribed and will still be getting charged even if they don't use the product anymore. It's not really as simple as you say and subscriptions obviously are profitable because all these companies are moving in that direction. The corporate world won't waste time and energy on something that won't bring back a profit.

Bandlab's main goal is most likely to draw more people into the Bandlab ecosystem hence why this initial Sonar release is tied into a Bandlab subscription instead of being a separate release.  Perpetual licenses won't do that. We'll find out eventually.

I get your reasoning. But why not both? Why not try to grab the audience, which wants to own a piece of software like myself and try to gather the others with a subscription plan?

Just look into all the services you have to pay for nowadays: An average person has Netflix, Amazon Prime, Spotify/Apple/Youtube, Console Online Plan, then maybe something like Photoshop, UAD, Plugin Alliance, Distrokid, Office 365, Gym, and many more things.  Now we are witnessing everyone getting greedy and trying to get some of your money too. Either they're raising the prices, cutting features, or introduce the userbase to upgrade plans, while new competitors enter the market with their own services. I was very open to all of this, to a certain degree, but now not anymore. We reached the point of oversaturation and i'd rather buy something, if i need it, then pay them a pile of my hard earned money every month, till i cancel the service and lose access to everything.

I´ll just wait and see what happens next with Cakewalk. I´m still owning Sonar Platinum,  X1 and older versions and can use them for older projects. So if they´re really going the subscription only route i´m sadly out. Thinking about changing to Reaper or Studio One (maybe someone has a reccomendation for me), but i'm hoping that will not be the case.

Guy walking trough a Saturday afternoon Farmers Market sees an artist painting a picture and stops to ask him about it. 
“I like your painting is it for sale? “

“No I’m not finished yet. “ 

“Ok but when it’s finished how much will it cost?” 

“ I don’t know until it’s finished . And I’m thinking I might rent this one in the Gallery art rental program.  I can sometimes make a nice steady income from that.” 
 

“But I don’t want to rent it, I prefer to buy it from you, but only if I like the price.” 
 

“Ahh, see you already are offering me less money than it’s worth and haven’t even told you what I think that is?” This is why I think I’m better off renting it. That way more people will enjoy my painting and I’ll have a monthly income for a long time.

If I sell it to you when it’s finished, you will want a bargain and I’ll be sad and probably spend that money all at once in the bar.  I’ll have no money later on.”

The man walked away and bought a ugly framed print  from WalMart. He didn’t like the ugly cheap painting very much but he was proud because he owed it outright. 

You cannot compare piece of art with a software for music creation. That's not how it works. You could compare it with buying a movie on Bluray vs. get a Netflix subscribtion to watch that particular movie.

Yep, i´m supporting him. Mike was my primary tutorial source during the Cakewalk by Bandlab days. And come on guys, do not act, like we are in war against other DAW´s, that´s not fair. Just be glad, that you have many good ways to create your music 😀.

Summer Games Miami does indeed capture the vintage game vibe!  A fun happy tune.

Or maybe it's time to Just Say No! (to GM)!  😜  Seriously, GM is so 1980s! 

If you need that kind of aesthetic, TTS was the answer  

I used it extentively in that track, where i tried to capture 80's/90's games ost:

Thanks people, i'm honored by your kind words 😄. I hope you'll like my future projects too. Greetings! 

THX treesha, i appreciate your feedback^^

Here is the first track of our Xylakis EP "Steig Ein!!" by SVSX

If someone here used Beatscape in the past, you maybe recognise the sample this song is based on.

I hope you enjoy it!

Really great EQ like every TDR product. Bought the whole package of them whithout regreting.

I still am using the Sonitus delay but I am searching for the perfect replacement. Sonitus is DX and unsupported. Very old code.  One day you'll try and open a project and it might crash.

I understand your concerns, but i personally wouldn't rule out a plugin just because its old. As long as it works, you'll be fine and as you said, you can allways bounce a track copy for security reasons.

Nevermind, i got another tipp for you: Check the 2BPlayed website, they got the 2B Delayed Classic for free at checkout, with a code. Its a stereo delay like Sonitus. Maybe this is the right one for your usage.

I'm just curious, but why are you trying to replace Sonitus? On my new PC they're still working fine and real gems.

Besides Melodyne (witch is awesome for this case), i can recommend Debess from Airwindows (works only with 44.1 and 48 kHz samplerate recordings, because it's kind of filtering the high frequency samples out) and Waves Sibilance. These two are as transparent as possible. Not perfect, but very good! 

I still use all 3 of them sometimes. Adaptive Limiter is on almost every mastering project.

I remember this came up before and since I have a few Workspaces that use two monitors, I gave it a try.  Not 100% sure of if I remember why it worked for me and not the person with the problem. I'd have to find the thread and reconstruct what I did. BUT: I vaguely recall that I had the main Cakewalk views on Monitor 1 and an undocked/floating MultiDock including the Console View on Monitor 2. I don't recall if I had tabbed plug-ins in the MultiDock or if they were in floating windows.

I believe  there was an issue someone else had because the person wanted the main Cakewalk View set up to cover two monitors and not the way I did it.

Can you be more specific about what you mean by "I have Track view on main (left) monitor, and Console view on second (right) monitor?"

UPDATE: In this thread one user had a feature request for the single contiguous Cakewalk spread across two monitors configuration:

If that's what you are doing (or want to do), my floating window is not what you want.   

Yep, the plugin behavior is one of the reasons, why i asked the CW-team to implement more customisation options for multiple screens on Skylight.

THX man!

Hey folks, 

i want to share my first track from the upcoming album "Age of Garb". I hope you enjoy it, although its in german. As i'm not professional, there isn't a real video, just some background footage. You can go to my Bandcamp site svsx.de or to the big streaming services and check my other songs too. Leave a like or support me if you like this song!

Search for SVSX (speak: Savis X) or follow the videolink below:

I dont think you need to go down to -30dB on your tracks. I'd rather set some busses and feed them with my tracks. Then you can adjust your bus/groupbus gain. I think many people, are approaching this whole gain staging to technical 😉. But just my own opinion, i'm trying to set it roundabout -18 RMS and if a plugin runs hot, i turn the input gain down.

Don't hold your breath. Cakewalk never owned the code, and the person who does (the developer) is in prison for some very bad crimes.

The guy you are referring to, is the dev of VC64 not VX64, which was an inhouse developement.

Oh that's bad news! I'm getting a new PC and was hoping that I could just copy them over. I realise I'll have to reinstall software programmes but thought I could just copy all my libraries across. Are there any other libraries you have had to reinstall rather than copy eg IK libraries

Everything was working good (IK Sampletank, Miroslav, Syntronik Libs, Dimension Pro, XLN AD2 and many more) with exception of Spitfire LABS/BBC. Tried the repair and relocate function, it startet processing data but wasn't usable after it went "installed". 

Besides that, i had a bad experience with older Kontakt 2 Librarys (Ethno World 4, Complete Classical Collection 2, Galaxy Steinway, and Drums Overkill) whitch dind't include the .nicnt file. Native Acces 2 cannot locate Librarys without this file. So i had to install Native Access 1 to let it locate my data. Could not figure out a different way to do it manually. When i kontakted the support team they basically told me i should try to kontact my library supplier and bye. FU Native Instruments!

Oh and i had to redownload 65 GB of my Independence 3 Pro Library through Magix website again, because the Magix DLM coudn't recognize my existing folder correctly... So i dont know what to think about all of this... Some day it seems that many expensive and important librarys will not work anymore, whitch upsets me, cause i still use them and paid a good amount of money for their crap.

Bought VCL 864U, VCL 4, VPRE 376 whitch adds a nice flavour on my voice, and VREV 305 (awesome!) I think that was the best Black Friday deal 2022 .

PS...I STILL have the "Install twice" problem

I recently installed my new PC and just wanted to use the library from my old SSD. I  couln't get it running and had to redownload the whole LABS library again... Spitfire is awesome, but their management app is crap!

sounds like a UAD "requirement", check their forum for further details...

Ok, now i know whats going on here 😅. THX i found a thread on UA forums, where this question came up. So its intended to check in with UA Connect. An UA employee there mentioned, that some users are unistalling UAC after authorizing, or that you can leave it as it is and it doesn't take CPU cycles away. I'll be looking further and decide how i handle it. 

Hey guys,

i installed some native versions of UAD lately and noticed, that everytime i start my PC and load a project with UAD X plugins included, UA Connect starts too and does a online check. Is this necessary? Cause i have my iLok stick connected with them and UA Connect takes some RAM (i hate unnecessary usage, even if i got enough). Tried to deaktivate Universal Aufio Helper on Services and on Startup menu, but it still loads.
