I've got Sonar X1 Power! Make an offer! 😜

It was $9.99 back in February 2022

I wonder if Craigslist has moderators for crap like this...?

Renaming "ctrlsurface.dat" saved my bacon today! After an initial attempt at adding a new Mackie control surface definition, I was unable to restart Cakewalk until I reset the control surfaces with this method. Cakewalk crashed every time I started it after making the change. It apparently had some conflicts with some earlier settings or something. All good now!

Here are my results from an initial test of the new Mackie Control feature in Cakewalk Early Access 2022.06:

Not really, because this thread is clearly a joke. Nobody here is selling it. And If there was an actual buyer for this Craigslist item, the software would be useless to them, as it's non-transferable. According to the ad: "Has been licensed. You will have to purchase a user license, I think is $35? Installation will automatically open the Sonar website on your computer. Free updates are available, and additional effects plugins are available." Big LOL!!! So he's actually just selling the discs and user manual. Let the buyer beware!

I upgraded for the scalable user interface. My eyes thank me.

I had the opportunity to briefly test the new control surface settings with my Arturia KeyLab 61 Mk II today. It was mostly a success using the Cubase mode in the keyboard with the Mackie MCU Cubase mode in Cakewalk Mackie Control. These features were all plug and play, using the Mackie Control "Bus" option on the Master Fader, and "Select highlights track" option: jog wheel transport controls, including the loop button track and master faders track pan knobs track select buttons the solo, mute, & record buttons under track controls Read automation button (but write does nothing) Not sure what's going on with the global controls... the metronome button doesn't do anything, the undo button opens the event list. and the save button opens and closes the browser panel.

The Hammond and the MODO's don't require much disk space, and they are some of the best instruments that IK makes. The MODO drum has sampled cymbals, but the rest of the kit is modeled. MixBox is light too, and some of the best FX you will find in 1 rack!!!

BandLab owns the intellectual property rights to all former Cakewalk software. You would need to ask them.

I agree that the AT5 bass amps are really nice!

Nope.

I would stick with X3 for the pre-Platinum Sonar series...

Well all 3 of those EZbass packs have counterparts in the EZkeys MIDI packs that were created in tandem so they should work together. I have the Singer Songwriter and Americana bass/keys packs, but haven't used them a lot yet. On my to-do list...

And another thing to keep in mind about the former Cakewalk software license terms, their licenses were never transferable once registered...

I just use the IK Product Manager to let me know what to install. All of the products registered in my account appear with their current status, such as installed. Here is an attempt to organize my thinking about the overall package... There are 3 main TS 3.5 MAX programs that are "containers" (available as standalone or plugin): SampleTank 4 Amplitube 5 T-RackS 5 (the modules can also be used individually as plugins) SampleTank 4 MAX: Contains all of the sample based instruments, including Syntronik and Miroslav. AmpliTube 5 MAX: Contains 14 brand and artist collections and all 4 new virtual X-GEAR pedals, all benefiting from the latest breakthroughs in modeling technology. This massive collection offers over 400 ultra-realistic amps and FX to build your own unique sound, and over 2,500 included artist presets. T-RackS 5 MAX: contains new modules like FAME Studio Reverb, Comprexxor and the TASCAM Tape Collection. You also get ARC 3, the advanced acoustic room correction system and Lurssen Mastering Console, plus all of the current T-RackS modules. The other separate programs (also available as standalone or plugins): Hammond B-3X MODO DRUM Syntronik 2 (also in ST4) MODO BASS Miroslav Philharmonik 2 (also in ST4) MixBox

Ship them here! Happy to help out! 😜

Yep, since the KeyLab Mk II has a Cubase mode, in addition to the Standard MCU, that's the first thing I'm gonna try!

Yes, definitely check out the upcoming release of Cakewalk for the new Mackie protocol options for control surface. A few early access testers said that they were able to get much better compatibility with some controllers they had struggled with using Cakewalk. I plan to test out my Arturia KeyLab II with the new Cakewalk release. Mackie control surface improvements in 22.06 Early Access: The Mackie Control surface includes several new enhancements. New compatibility modes In addition to the recommended Cakewalk/SONAR mode, the Mackie Control surface now supports two extra emulation modes that can be used if your control surface does not provide a dedicated Cakewalk/SONAR mode: Mackie Control Universal (Universal Mode). Emulates Mackie’s default button layout. Mackie Control Universal (Cubase Mode). Emulates Mackie’s Cubase/Nuendo button layout. See thread here:

And for those considering SampleTank 4 MAX, you may want to check out the current Total Studio 3.5 MAX deal... or wait for the next TS MAX version to come out which should include more of the recently released products (3.5 does not include them). $199 for the TS 3.5 MAXgrade, good through June 30th.

I gave the M-12 a go, because, well it's one of the great classic synths. I have the Matrix-12 V2 emulation in Arturia, but the Syntronik version is great too! However, the GS-V is not something I considered a must have...

Right, but you do get all of these (in ST4 MAX) extra libraries for ST3 that were released after ST3 MAX...

Thomann also has the 6-pack MIDI deals for EZkeys and Drummer... $89.

I wouldn't bother unless going for the ST4 MAX at $199. I have ST4 MAX and that's where more of the good stuff is, for example 200 GB of all new ST4 samples, vs. 70 GB of all new ST4 samples in the standard version. More Basses, more Brass, more Acoustic Guitars, the Red Strat Electric Guitar, more Percussion, more Strings, more Woodwinds, the SampleTank 3 Premium Instrument and Drum Collections, and Miroslav Philharmonik 2 CE. The only downside is they stuff MAX full of some basic synth instruments, which is pretty redundant if you already have Syntronik.
