    I'm more worried about how long the activation will last once the other programs come out. If I never updated my computer would cakewalk keep working? My music PC rarely goes online and I'd be quite happy to keep it completely offline and continue with WIN10 and Cakewalk as it's only used for music. But will I be able to do that?

    Read the previous posts earlier in the topic on this matter. Just scroll to the  beginning. 

  2. My wish for NEXT is that its aimed more towards the HIP HOP and EDM Producers and Sound designers. The notes on the website does say its comes with built-in samples which i already like alot. I just hope its raw samples for us to mix and alter to our taste. I'm not a fan of samples that are "ready mixed." 

    Sonar on the other hand - I have high hopes for it. I cant wait for the launch and I hope its not as cluttered as before. A Nice clean and Sexy interface is what keeps one glued to ONE DAW.

    In my opinion best approach would be to keep Cakewalk Sonar in it's base form (as CbB is now) free and supported for those who aren't making money from doing music or are on tight budget, and then start adding new features and content in higher tiers for those who want to pay for it. Best of both worlds.

    Thats why CbB is coming out with its final update. This will be the last update to the free Daw you are using now. Sonar will be the DAW that will continue to be worked on and get new features every year. This has been said and explained numerous times. 

    Cakewalk by Bandlab (the free DAW) will continue to work and be free with it getting its last and final update. 

    Sonar will be the DAW that will be priced. It is the one putting on its makeup and glitters for its launch soon. 

    Next is the "newborn" DAW that was created from scratch. The baby of Cakewalk and Sonar. It cant yet hold its head up straight by itself, that is why a few members will be selected to test it out before its public release. 

    Read the announcement and website people.

    You realize of course that whatever you do is going to have to add value to the current free version commensurate to the cost of purchase or upgrade.

    So let's just pull a number out of the air...let's say the cost to upgrade from the current free version to the new paid Sonar is $200. So now you've got to add $200 of value to the new Sonar in order to make it worth upgrading.

    A new UI with a "few extra feature enhancements" is not likely to cut it at least for me and I'm probably not alone. 

    But we're seeing in this thread the problem with partial announcements with the "important details" to follow.  All it does is spark rampant speculation and fear mongering. ("oh my god they're going subscription") and so on.

    So I suggest putting all your cards on the table now. Just tell us what the price will be. Just tell us if there will be discounts for paying customer of the old Sonar and so on.

    Clearing the air now will help you and the user base as well.

    To clear things up from my end I will never subscribe to software so if that's the way things are going tell me now so I can move on and focus on the other 5 DAWs I own, one of which has lifetime free updates.

    Why are you so angry and disappointed? Pretty sure you are welcome to move to your other 5 Daws you "Own." Using that loosely in context of what youve said with your own mouth. 

    100% of our permanent family members here already agrees on a fee. Some of us has even suggested and asked for this in multiple topics to happen so that we can support the DAW and keep growing by throwing resources in to the DAW, cause we have seen the potential it always had. 

    If you are really unhappy in not wanting to pay for the DAW or any other software as you have stated, then dont use them. 

    Come on people! You can not run a business without making a profit to put towards the growth of your company. Every resource cost money. The staff that works 100% day in and day out on this - needs to get paid too. Every bug that gets fixed, cost money. Theres litterally manpower that goes into this and i am pretty sure you wont get up every morning and go work for free | or | do something for free and dont get appreciated for your hardwork. 

    I am pretty sure everyone agrees with me on this. 

    Lets keep showing our support and appreciation towards our them. I too am sometimes unhappy with certain features, but guess what? I always appreciate what they do and give.  We cant always have things our way just because we feel so.

    Thats the reality.

  5. Everyone is taking what @Noel Borthwick said in his example to the sonar days on the subscription way out of proportion.

    Full licence ownership from day 1. A one time price to pay

    Thats what rent-to-own mean. You own the last month version of the daw when your last payment is done. 

    This is what Noel said: How it works is you either pay for 12 consecutive monthly subs OR you purchase a one year subscription upfront. In both scenarios the last months version is permanently unlocked for you and you own it. 

    I am onboard with this. If you werent part of the growth since day one - you wouldnt understand how far this daw has come. 

    Dynamic Waveforms

    • New Sidechain Routing made easier 

    • Arranger

    • Articulations

    • CA2A made FREE

    • New Plugin flyout menus

    • Better ARA intergrations

    • Latest Elastic Audio updates

    • Thousands of Bug Fixes

    This is just to name a few updates and upgrades  Oh! and did i mention thousands of bug fixes and stability?

    So, Im all for a subscription fee.

  6. Next is looking sexXYY!

    Can't wait to see how the new UI will look, especially the sidechain and output layout. 

    So this means Bandlab officially now owns all rights to the Cakewalk brand if the name is changing back to "Sonar?" Exciting news indeed. Growth is a wonderfull adventure. We all can oneday say - we were there and that somewhere in here I have my ones and zeros printed in. 

    Bravo! Team! Thanks for all the hardwork and the ears you lend out everyday to your community. Cant wait to be part of the first group/community to experience the new look.

  7. Yikes! EastWest? Yeah! It is troublesome. I too, have had a similiar experience. Luckily mine started with only 3 instances of it. 

    The NKS files with NI Kontrol worked with that specific project for me.

    Another thing  i noticed is that although the Vocals are being routed through Bus B then onto the Master. When  I turn the Master (volume) down I can still hear dry vocals. 

    Also I havent used the dropdown send that says 'None' in image below. Can anyone state what this is and when i would probably use it?

    image.png.ea856d7e5be108675f49b794e859c2d1.png

    Right the bottom of your Vocal channel strip are two slots. One with the letter "I" (for input) and one with the letter "O" (for Output) click on the slot with the letter "O" (output) and in the drop down menu that will appear, choose you Master Bus.

    the openers noted here are all decent candidates, Kalis getting some buzz (the latest thing but no personal experience), use Focals all the time in a project studio, never got on with Adams (or NS10s)

    Thanks  Jackson. I actually worked on the Adams A7V before. They are exceptionally good monitors. Little expensive for me. Im familiar with their little brothers the T7V which are really great monitors and extremely clinical. I might go for them now that you've pointed me in that direction.  I was leaning towards the Genelec 8010A, but now i might look into the Adam T7 twice cheaper than the A7V. 

  10. Im hunting for new monitors. Im still running the Rokits 6 G3 model, but im looking for something with a more flatter frequency. Now heres where the headache starts for me when searching for a monitor. 

    Do you prefer a Flat Frequency response OR do you prefer a Tonal Balance Monitor thats somewhat clinical. 

    I've owned the M-Audio BX8a, the Alesis MKII Passives which I still have and for the past 7years the KRK Rokit 6 G3. I feel like I need something better. Something less deceptive.

    What do you prefer in a Monitor? Great Image, AccurateTonal Balance, more Clinical or a flat frequency response?

    Hello! Today i decided to make a template with all tracks i would need for a song, instead of starting with an empty project. I am done with it, however there is a problem. When i arm a track so i can record on it, i get about 500ms latency. The only way to remove it is by archiving and unarchiving the track, but then when i arm it - again latency. I'm on Windows 10, my computer has never done this before and it doesn't happen on other projects. Using Asio4all. Where is the problem?

    You gonna get roasted for this because you are using "Asio4All." Asio4All is very bad on this forum, its the devil👹himself. Get an interface is what will be thrown at you . . . but hey, I wash my hands. I was never here. 🚶🏻‍♂️🏃🏻

    Hi everyone,

    Is it possible to assign the midi out of a single same track to more than one output.

    I would like to send midi info to a single midi track and have it sent to multiple outs.

    As far as I can tell I’m only able to choose one.

    Thanks for  any help.

     

    It all depends on what you interpret as a "midi track." 

    If you're refering to a channel/track - then NO. 

    If you're refering to an instrument/Vsti like the TTS1 (which is a midi instrument,) then YES, you can do this. Watch some videos on Youtube. 

    Different DAW = Different languages for "midi tracks." In cakewalk it is an actual virtual "midi channel strip/track."

    Just to be clear, I'm not a huge expert on computers, so most of the computing terms (especially stuff about drivers and all) would be hard for me to understand. So I would appreciate if you guys could briefly explain me these words when using them. Thanks :)

    So I installed Cakewalk yesterday because I started getting interested in music prod.  I followed this tutorial : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zmmjnqVcL3o&list=PLWrEj8vjQQuuWOFepN-6PiD59thD7lD64&index=1&ab_channel=AdKStudios.
    When I got to the part where he explains the "Get started" window, I noticed my driver mode was already filled in as ASIO. I changed it to WASAPI Shared as shown in the video, not really knowing what it was. I stuck with it, but when I started to play around with VSTs and all, I couldn't hear ANY sounds at all coming from Cakewalk.

    I tried changing the volume, but it just wouldn't work. I suddenly remembered the ASIO thing and wondered if changing it to WASAPI was the problem. So I went into preferences and changed it to ASIO, and then it crashed. When I tried to reopen Cakewalk, it was just stuck in the "loading screen" forever and I had to forcefully close the program rather than waiting (I waited for more than an hour). I tried to reinstall Cakewalk, but it still wouldnt load. I tried a bunch of stuff coming from forums that I researched and all but the problem persisted.

    I don't know what to do now, I don't even know what the problem was in the first place... I just need some help if possible. I will gladly answer any questions as best as I can.
     

    Thanks.

    Ctrl+Alt then hit Del. Close all instances of cakewalk uou see between all those files in that windows.
