The main difference between that mic and a non-USB mics is that the analog-to-digital converter is inside the body of the mic instead of being on the audio interface.

Of course, just like in non-USB mics, the quality of the mic plays a role in the quality optened.

Just follow the same tips when recording as if you were using an audio interface,  you can use acoustic shields, post-recording plugins that decrease reververences such as clarity etc

About malware paranoia because you won't be able to update W10, remember that nowadays, the OS itself is a giant malware, the only diference is that we all  know who is behind it.

Check the install locations as shown here: Setting up with SoundID VoiceAI plugin

If the plugin is there, go back to DAW and check the scanned locations. The SoundID VoiceAI plugin is AU, AAX and VST3 only (no VST or VST2), perhaps your DAW is not scanning for VST3?

My mistake, I thought it was an instrument, but it's an effect for audio track. 

Thank you anyway

doesn't work for me, I install it, but doesn't appear instruments list

That´s "Vocaloid" but with better sound voices and a "AI" tag

I believe that it refers to a master  that meets these characteristics, a Hr-audio

Open source is not the same than free. Why open source and not just free without  support? As a first step to its pro version

I don't think Bandlab is going to "give " the app code to the "world"

I just thought of a perfect solution.

Produce a FREE version of Cakewalk with adds that pop up every 5 minutes just like 90% of the free Apps and delivery services do. 

"Don't like these adds?, click here to purchase a licence to remove them"  

They might even make MORE money selling the adds than selling the basic version of Sonar which I predict a  price of  around $50 ( note: ONLY A PREDICTION not a fact) 

 

I just thought another a perfect solution.

Everything as until now, free, even cutting some pro options, leaving the fundamental and selling a more professional version of their product, as well as almost all companies have.

Add to this that it is not the same as they charge you, say $ 50 and have the program on your desk for "forever", that you have to pay as "rent" every month for using a product that you will stop using if you stop paying .

sorry if i misinterpreted this, but no software is simple to create, especially if you have marketing trying to direct it, and then dumbing that software down so numpties can understand it (usually in the ui)

Sorry, my fault, I do not mean that the creation of the software itself is easy, much less, what I mean is that it is just a tool ---> to create music.

These last three answers is what I meant as a software sect, it is very common.

Isn't it a "simple" tool to create? So what is, a friend, a companion in the lonely afternoons ...

The primcipal issue is, or should be, create music, not take a foam bath with the software (tool) you use.

This is highly unlikely as well. Those few users who refuse to pay will not be a financial risk to the company.  Nobody ever said Cakewalk would be free forever so if you used it, then it was your choice. 
There’s a few fee DAWs out there but they have very limited features. But that's an option for people with no money and a $2,000 gaming laptop 😁. . 

The developers have said they will be offering inexpensive versions of Sonar in the future.

Example I like to use -- Sonar Home Studio was only $50. I have it still installed and I could easily produce a high quality recording with it. 

Remember the staff that work at Cakewalk are not the owners, Bandlab is. And the Cakewalk staff need to make a living from this. 

Already lots of people have switched to other DAW’s. So what. It’s your money,  go ahead and spend it. Doesn’t hurt to own other software if you can afford it. I have Cubase 7 and the upgrade alone is $400. 
Most of Cakewalk’s competitors cost well over $500.  So please don’t complain or waist brain cells worrying about what it will cost. We will know soon. 

Few?  Many people start using it because it is free  Many of them are not going to pay by a tool that they can get by free ( Yes, a different one, perhaps limited in some things, but enough to continue doing their music)

Some people don't undertand that many, many people see Cakewalk, like what is,  a simple tool to create, it is not a kind of software sect. They choose it because among all tools without cost, it is undoubtedly the best, but it is not the only one.

About the staff need money from them to live, that´s right¡, but software users are not donors to an NGO, if they have almost the same without spending money, why they are going to pay for it , it would be silly.

Music creators also have many, many expenses, and and few, few  income, nobody gives them anything.

And I have not drawn the issue of software subscriptions, very common today and the worst system for the end user, but that is another topic.

Because that is NEVER happening. Why not be realistic about it and offer to pay. 

Well, to be truly realistic, it will have to be said that if it is no longer free, a large percentage of its users will choose another DAW that is, even if it is a lite version of the competition

And why not continue for free as now but without support or updates? I think It is better 😀

I use some time ago Magix Audio & Music Lab Premium and it does a really good job

I think compression is used too much nowadays, in fact I think it ruins songs on many occasions, the guide I think should always be, apart from other things, to use your ears and get the sound you want.

Take a look to Amuse

Peter Jackson can do it... sorry  I couldn't help it

Well, they are. It's called "BandLab."

This is not a "lite" version, it is a toy. I am talking about something like cubase lite or similar

Wouldn't it be up to Cakewalk  as a company itself to put out the information? I don't see YOUR name on the executive list or even part ownership. Being kind to people is a lot less stresfull then what you are doing now. People ask questions because Cakewalk hasn't brought out any news in about a year now.  Just Sayin.

That's right

Sorry but there’s nothing even close that is free.  Bad advice. 

I know, this is because I use CbB and I like it, but there are another options where you can  make music and they are ( for the moment ) free

They run plugins, you can use midi and sound tracks, you miss some things, of course, you can continue making music, of course too.

CbB is only a tool, great tool, but just that, a tool.

I think Bandlab must do at last a lite version of the tool free if they don't want to lost many people in the change.

Just find another (I think CbB is the best one, I use it) similar free tool to continue making music.

Didn't watch the video either did you? 

Unsurprisingly, you also managed to completely ignore the part of my reply where I stated not once but twice that I was not attempting to justify the price, and that this is something 99% of the people do not need, and that I myself would never buy one.

It's like talking to the mirror image of people who buy Macs because they're shinny.

 

I am talking about the cabel an apple products in general, not about you post, just that.

Bullshit. Did you even watch the video or are you just reciting the usual anti-Apple clichés?

I am not saying that it is useful or reasonably price. I am saying that it is superior from an engineering, design, and manufacturing point of view.

None of that makes a difference to 99% of the USB-C using population so most of us are okay with a cable that's not a 10th the price.

I wouldn't buy one.

that it is superior from an engineering, design?????? We are talking a bout a cable and we are talking about that cable has a cost x10 

Sinserially, if any manufacturer tried to sell me a USB cable for 130 I would consider it a scammer, why doesn't the same happen if that "salesman" has an apple in their logo?

I mix on headphones just because the reason you said

I think almost the only place where people still listen to music on speakers is in  cars.

I don't think Audacity as a DAW.  It is kinda like saying Goldwave is a DAW.

 

The only thing they need to be a ·DAW· is vsti support.

I looked up Songtradr and don’t quite understand what that company is. Do they license music to be used by for profit entities like ad agencies and tv show and what not? If so, then where does that place musicians that operate in the indie alternative sphere? People making music and releasing music that is not intentionally pre pared to be used for selling something else? 

Songtradr is used to distribute music to digital platforms too, Spotify, AppleMusic ...
