My old legacy program worked perfectly. You talked me into the Cakewalk by Bandlab. I saved all my programs on the bandlab format. Now when I go back to Legacy, most of my programs will not work. It took me twelve hours per file to do. If I can continue to use Cakewalk by bandlab, my files will still work. I don’t care about more improvements. I just need my files to work. If you were going to charge at a later date, you should have made that clear with the legacy unlimited users. I am highly upset because my file will not work on the legacy side since saving on the Bandlab side. Fix my problem so my files will work on Legacy and all will be good. If you can fix my problem my band is going to be down. I am not putting 12 hours times 48 songs time into redoing all my files. That is 576 hours to fix my files. If I had never saved my files to the Bandlab format, I would not have a problem now. To be truthful with you, I could not tell a difference between the two programs except that my saved Bandlab files would not longer work in the Legacy side. As long as I use the Bandlab program, all my files work. What you need to do now is update the legacy to the free version of bandlab so all my files will continue to work. This would solve all my problems. If the legacy owners did decide to update, what would be the cost? I am not interested in paying a monthly fee, or a big one time fee. How ever you can get my programs to work with no cost will make me happy. I don’t need any of the new program coming out, but just need the free Bandlab to continue working or fix the legacy to work with my programs. I have a gig March 22 and I need my programs to work.

When Cakewalk creates a project file and folders, I delete them and use just Bundle file. The bundle files works saving everything in one file. I have done it that was for over 20 years.

I have been with Cakewalk since using floppy disk. It has always been my favorite DAW. I have two issues that are driving me crazy that I can't stop. I don't use project files, I only use bundle files. When I go to open a bundle file it always ask if I want to save audio to a folder. I DON'T WANT THIS TO HAPPEN. After I save my project to a bundle file, if I press save, it saves to a project file. I DON'T WANT THIS TO HAPPEN EITHER. The way Sonar use to work was, if you saved a file as a Bundle file and as you continue to work on that file and press save, it would save as a Bundle file. Now it saves as a project file. I don't use Project files. Also if I open a bundle file, I don't want a dialog box prompting me to save audio files. If I have saved my project as a bundle file, I don't want any prompts to change anything and if I save and already saved Bundle files and it saves as a project file, it is causing me major grief. I have looked at the manual and went thru preferences and don't see a way to fix this I am sure there is a fix for this. I am running sequences with audio with my band live very soon and do not need major grief on stage with these two issues
