Imagine a world where I say........


Installed!

 

 

Imagine no more.

Done and dusted.

Beware at the fair.

I was a HUGE Studio One fan, that all has come to an end with the release of this and recent maneuvers by PreSonus.

After 9 years away I'm coming back to Cakewalk\Sonar, sad really, so many things left behind.

If it doesn't work out with Sonar, I'll give REAPER another try, I left it the same time I jumped ship from SONAR Platinum, sort of a 2 for 1 thing going on.

Well well well, I'll be purchasing Sonar today, shortly in fact, after what PreSonus has just pulled I'm afraid that's it for Studio One for me, so it's either Sonar or REAPER for me, I'll take a shot with Sonar first

I still got all my files for all my stuff for SONAR Platinuim and x3, and installation stuff all the way back to ProAudio 9,so if worst comes to worst I got something to fall back on but i'm sure Sonar or REAPER will see me through to the end, only a few years to go.

I turn off the scan until the next time i actually install

I thought about doing that, but I'd always forget, so I just leave it be.

Clearly it does NOT! Read the quote from the blog You linked to. “30% off both monthly”; again I am not an attorney, so am I right? Only time will tell. But clearly half truths and agitation do not elevate the forum.

What I quoted, is what it says on the site where you click the button to buy it. So clearly it DOES!

"But clearly half truths and agitation do not elevate the forum. " Indeed

anyway, it is no longer any concern to me, hope you get it sorted should you choose to want to purchase

I think I was getting confused/mixes up with the plugs that come with certain versions like that Vocal plug, which you had to either install the older version of Cakewalk/SONAR, or at the very least run the installer and select what you wanted from there.

All I can say is anyone who has used Cakewalk would never survive using Next. The best example is Cakewalk’s user manual is over 1,900 pages and Next’s manual is only 246 pages. 
It is totally nothing todo with Cakewalk or Sonar it is like using a completely different brand. You can’t open Cakewalk by Bandlab projects. 
It is more aimed at the people who have been using the Bandlab app so they can work on a computer instead of a mobile device. 
You have nothing to loose by signing up for the free 3 day demo. 

Yeah but as pwal pwal pointed out on 'Beyond My DAW', the first 100 pages were for operation, and the next 1800 for workarounds.

"Can't open CbB projects" but I beleive it can go the other way? if so someone who was travelling and used it to sketch out an idea may find it useful later on to get it back into Sonar?

"You have nothing to loose by signing up for the 3 day demo" Yes I thought of that, but I have pretty much decided not to bother, and if I need a second DAW for any reason I'll go with REAPER. Studio One is and will be for the foreseeable future my number 1 DAW, no intentions of changing that.

Next is not Sonar. I don't know what Next does, but it's not Sonar. John (above) has test-driven it a lot since its release.

Yes, I think most of us realize that Next is not Sonar

There may be some uses for next for some, a quick sketch pad for when you are traveling etc, who knows what use it may be for some, it may/does suit some different 'Genres'? The OP may be interested in having both, who knows, some may want it for certain features such as the stem separation etc etc, I was just pointing the option out to him.

What I said (paraphrased) is, it’s not “clear” that the monthly subscription price will remain at $10.50. 
BTW, the deal “ends” April 6; but as we all know it’s NOT uncommon that “deals” get extended. We don’t know how BL works yet. (if this was say, IKM, we’d figure the “deal” would last for months?

sleep well 💤…

I thought it was pretty clear, it states "$10.99 on first month, Then $14.95 per month" with a similar thing for the Yearly Sub.

What I think you were saying about the discount being for the first of ' ' then changing back after that. Or I have just missed the boat completely and am drowning in a sea of misunderstanding.

12.30am here, I'm of to get some sleep, big day tomorrow. Have a good one 👍

Yeah I mentioned about that in my post above.

I night be wrong here, but if it still like it has been, that you had to have different installations of different versions of Cakewalk/SONAR in order to have your previously purchased Cakewalk plugs show up in the latest version of Cakewalk/Sonar, in this case Cakewalk Sonar and Cakewalk Next.

Forgive me if this is already the case, but why can't it be that all you have to do is install Cakewalk Next and/or Cakewalk Sonar, then via them or the Manager have your owned plugins installed rather than have to install or run umpteen different Cakewalk/SONAR versions in order to have then available.

Would be nice, I own all the plugs, I still have Dimension Pro, Rapture, Rapture Pro, Z3TA 2 installed, but I removed the various versions of Cakewalk/SONAR and all the plugs etc years ago, back in 2015. It would be good to not have to do the old install or run various versions of Cakewalk/SONAR again to get the rest of the plugs.

I hope I have made sense and if it has already been taken care of, just delete the thread, thanks.

I think I was getting confused/mixes up with the plugs that come with certain versions like that Vocal plug, which you had to either install the older version of Cakewalk/SONAR, or at the very least run the installer and select what you wanted from there.

might be referring to the 'Membership', 'Backstage Pass', thing where you can get it Monthly  or Yearly, Monthly being the one of concern here? just a guess.

While all the above are the correct answer, there is another one to think about, at present you can have them both for a year st s discount of 30%, either $10.99 for the first month the $14.99 for the remaining 11, or $104.99 for the first year, then $149.50 for any further year/years you choose to continue. You can cancel at anytime, but you best read up the terms etc if you decided to go down this path.

You basically get both Cakewalk Next and Cakewalk Sonar and a heap of extras, 'perks' that may or may not be of interest to you.

I think that will get you there, how long the 30% discount lasts I know not.

That's well done 👍

It takes work to understand REAPER, but I ask: what useful enterprise does not require work?

To comprehend REAPER one must understand that a track may be anything you can wish or imagine. An audio track, a MIDI track, a video track, a bus, a send, a submix, an aux track, a warm Summer afternoon, the memory of a lover's kiss, the idea of true brotherhood, or even the idea of ideas themselves. A track may contain matter in all of its states, gas, liquid or solid (plasma support is expected before the next dot release). It may contain light, sound, vibrations of all frequencies. Infrared! Ultraviolet!

A track may be routed to a bus, or another track, a bus routed to a track, another bus, and any of them may be routed directly to the user's soul, and to the collective soul of all living creatures.

REAPER is the yin, the yang, the alpha and the omega. It is the first DAW you should try and the last you'll ever need.

REAPER!

REAPER!

REAPER.

Now you're getting it,

This one shows promise father, we should award him access to the REAPER Forums

His access to the Cakewalk Forums is looking a little on the shaky side however. . .

'be sure to issue him with a pair of industrial strength eye protection, don't want to ruin his eye sight'

'that's OK Father, he is a MeldaProduction user, he'll have that sorted already'

Well these folk would have from now until it happens, so I think the time to learn oneself about the pending doom would be more than one week, at some point it must be on the users shoulders to take responsibility, especially as it is not going to be a sudden event, yes, no?

[Having said that I guess that I wouldn't agree that it was a sneaky thing to do, I don't know.

If my presumption is correct, and I'm just going on what has been discussed previously, I believe so to all your situations, I'm thinking it would be similar to the SONAR Platinum Membership/Subscription whatever, as has been discussed by the powers that be in various threads earlier. But of course it's all in the future yet, so in the words of Doris Day

Qué será, será
Whatever will be, will be
The future's not ours to see
Qué será, será
What will be, will be

What's social media please?

Insta buy for me, although my Metal days are behind me and I likely wont use it that much, although . . . it does sound very good and they can be tamed, regardless, you got to keep the collection together. 😁

They do sound  and feel very good. 👍

But the fact that with a cancelled subscription you lose all

I could be wrong, but from what I understood you would still keep whatever version you were up to on your last completed 12 month payment cycle, be that Monthly payments or Yearly payments.

Seems to be somewhat better than the others I have seen/heard, you know much Kenny ?, (it might be Kenny Rogers after you get into this?) can't seem to find anything without signing away my life. Also would like to be sure that it doesn't require uploading to a website or whatever like another one did, in other words its self contained and therefore able to be used offline?

If it's self contained and has voices suitable for Rock I'd snap it up.

but, but, but, but, it doesn't say SSL 😲
