  1. Drink cold water, it will pass. ---- In my experience, all NEW software has a special introductory price. I think Cakewalk/Sonar is not going to be different. If you take a median price of "pro" DAWs, do the math + introductory discount.... and counter in competition, my guess different tiers of Sonar (excluding subscription) will range from $100 - $300. After promotional period price will likely increase. Place your bets ---- It would be fun if Bandlab ran a "Price Is Right" campaign. First 3 winners who are closest would get a discount voucher
  2. Starship, Thanks! And thank you for the tip on other tools. I wish there was a way to flip Ctrl function for the "two way" crop/extend on the Smart Tool, but easy enough as it is. Thanks again!
  3. Hi Folks. When I have several take lanes on track and clips overlap (on two different lanes) I get this tool, see attached. Which, works with both clips simultaneously. Reducing one clip > extending the other and vice versa. I don't want that. My workaround is to switch to Edit tool to reduce or extend clips individually. I guess this feature is too smart for me, as I can't find the way to bypass or turn it off. Is it possible or that's baked in? Thank you!
  4. John, Nice run through! I looked into Mixcraft myself long time ago and rediscovered it last year. It was probably the closest to the workflow that I like, but Cubase of course is feature packed. Bitwig is interesting too, but has a lot of shortcomings. However, Sonar will definitely be my choice #1, if proper license(s) are offered. It has several items that no DAW that I know of has, that are important to me. Plus a great knowledgeable & helpful community. I learned about half of the things I know about DAWs here
  5. Got the email today from Steinberg: "Save 30% on Cubase" Are they hearing the drumbeat we don't? I remember at the time of Gibson saga they were the first ones to "reach out" with friendly offers Bandlab, don't fall asleep, we are counting on you and the right decisions you will make on licensing and pricing.
  6. "Demo is what you have when you can try software but you haven’t bought it yet." I downloaded Sonar without registering with "backstage pass". It runs, but saving is disabled. To me that's sort of a demo
  7. Yesterday, as some of you did, I received Native Instruments 2024 newsletter. Cutting all the blah, it specifically mentioned this: "We also understand subscriptions aren’t for everyone, so don't worry – our perpetual bundles won't be going anywhere." I agree, it's not healthy not disclosing if perpetual licenses will be available for Sonar.... Especially now, when working demo is available. While I do have faith that Sonar will not be a subscription only gig, very recently I was looking at a few competitors and made a probable choice if things will go sour. That was after reviewing Sonar demo. The reason - because non subscription options were not mentioned. This is not a "threat" of any kind, just want to show, if it matters, how some of millions of users think. I do like new look/feel of Sonar and will be among first in line if non sub. options will be offered. P.S. I also think it will be noble for Bandlab to permanently unlock the software that was purchased before Bandlab's takeover and if they want to be extra nice, unlock Cakewalk by Bandlab permanently...
  8. I like Mike's videos. Nicely paced, thorough. Subscribed to his new Sonar channel. Would definitely vote for him to become "official" Sonar guy for tutorials.
  9. David, Thanks! I fiddled with main display scaling per your suggestion. You are partially right. Anything over 175% (where 200% is recommended value) tools get fuzzy. 175% is a bit hard on my eyes. I prefer 200 % scale. It's definitely not a deal breaker, just annoyance, but something likely Bakers should look into. I doubt I will be the only one with this issue. --------------------------------------------- I found the cause! Mouse pointer size. The size goes up to 15. My comfort level is 2. As you go up.... Mouse pointer stays sharp at any size, tools get more blurry with increase. I reported the issue. Hopefully they will address it.
  10. John V, That was awesome! Especially liked the idea of selling last version of Cake As Is (perhaps with minimal compatibility fixes). Having ~200 projects in Cake I am getting a bit anxious to see how this will unfold.
  11. 3070x1440 native - that's the resolution. Everything but tools seem to be sharp. Tools are fuzzy(blurry). My guess, they were not vectorized as most of other elements. P.S. I don't have issues with tools being fuzzy in any other software....
  12. Will you wash my dishes and do laundry for a month if you are wrong?
