Probably would have been more simple to have not said anything at all until everything was in place. 

I completely agree with this.
In fact, "pricing" as stated was already a very poorly thought out strategy, but.....

Not sure what you are saying as we are a global community as well as most people these days purchase items directly from many countries. 

 

 

I live in Brazil where the Real/Dollar exchange rate is 5/1.

In other countries in our Latin America the exchange rate disparity is even greater. If we talk about African countries, certainly even more so.

So, for those who live in a first world country like you, the exchange rate variation is not significant, but for those of us in the third, fourth, fifth world, pricing is something important in our options.

You ask: Did they stay at Cakewalk because it was free?

The answer is a resounding YES!

Therefore, I am completely sure that, as citizens of countries on this side of the world, we always produce our work with free plugins, free applications, etc.

I don't know if I understood the topic, but I tried.

To take advantage of the translation theme. I installed it to test the new SONAR and realized that many screens still remain untranslated into my language (Portuguese). Is this true or not?
I post it here in this topic, as there are already so many topics about the new SONAR version that it is quite confusing to follow.

I have been following the posts regarding the new (???) Sonar and would like to make some suggestions regarding the pricing of the product.

I believe it would be very interesting, including from the perspective of Marketing and Sales strategy, to propose different prices for the continents. I think this would be very interesting for propagation and even reaching more users.

All of this is due to the exchange rate relationship that exists for us in Latin America, Africa, etc., causing the exchange rate difference between our currency and the dollar.

For North Americans, Canadians, Europeans, etc. to have this perception, to compare $1.00 (one American dollar) we, Brazilians, have to pay R$5.26 (five reais and twenty-six cents) today.

Imagine if the price already stipulated in dollars today in all situations were multiplied by 5.....

Two options here.

I went through this too and gave up. Especially when I've seen in several posts that the tool has many bugs recognized by the development team itself.

If that was the marketing strategy it would make me come across as observant, that was the impression I got from it being in pastel colours,  It's a shame such a benign comment could be offensive, which was the reason I put the disclaimer first, also that someone deleted it. If indeed using pastel colour scheme was a cynical marketing plot to appeal to the female market, it could be said to be somewhat patronising from a marketing viewpoint.  that was my initial thoughts when seeing it.

for the record I'm all for more women getting involved in making music and recording music in daws

 

 

as a possible marketing strategy it reminds me of when VW relaunched the beetle and put a massive plantpot in the middle of the dashboard and stuck a big plastic flower in it as standard.

 

 

This is very strange. I also made 2 posts where, based on Noel himself's statement about the correction of hundreds of BUGs, which were simply deleted from the topics.

Do I ask the forum moderators about what types of comments we can make or is it only allowed to make compliments?

I didn't find anything like that and I'm giving up trying here. I'm going to wait for the commercial version to be released and then think about whether I'm going to remigrate, as I'm doing well in REAPER. Thanks.What is the activation procedure?
I double click on the box that requests it, sends it to the website and there the procedure is, as far as I can see, hidden.

Installed.
And I remain confused about some things.
I found the installation process for this version without any improvements in installation time.
The loading time of a project in the previous version I also found to be very slow.
When trying to activate me, my BANDLAB username was not accepted.
The new interface I found to be very similar to the REAPER that I have been using.
I didn't notice access to visual improvements, apart from dark mode.
I don't know if I'm right, but it seems like just a "makeup" over the latest free version.
It's just an impression.
The much talked about improvement in interaction with screens was not taken to the FX Chairs.

I am very confused by this topic.

Has the new Sonar already been released or just some that are in the BETA version?

I downloaded and installed Center. In it I commanded the download of Add-ons that did not appear as installed for me, even though they were.
I commanded the installation and, even after the installation was completed, CENTER continued to show the image below.

Another question I have is the possibility of installing the Theme Editor, as in previous topics I understood that, for the new version of Cakewalk, it will no longer be possible to use the Theme Editor.

Cakewalk Product Center.
 

Please, this product no have translation to portuguese ?

I share the solution to a problem that occurred to me this morning.

It was impossible to open any project, as it would freeze in the saving phase (which appeared in the UI) and block any interaction.

After several attempts, I started to isolate possible problems in my structure.

I then remembered another case in the past in which I was able to recover the work and resume operation simply by disconnecting my audio interface from a TASCAM USB that showed no sign of a problem and even worked for other applications.

Turning the USB audio interface off and on again did the trick for Cakewalk.

Not seeing this issue at all, you admitted it is a problem with one of your plugins. I am a moderator, would you like me to delete this so you can start a new thread?

Do what you think is best. It is not surprising that users, like me, are seeking support from various other sources, such as various Facebook groups or even, like me, testing other tools, as much of what is posted here does not have, in the eyes of of moderators, relation to the release feedback thread. It is not admitted or questioned: what exists in this version and in the context of the relationship between Plugins and the application that could be causing what the user is bringing ?

Please start another thread. This is not feedback specific to this release...

My friend,  the version that i using is this and the problem no existing in other versions that i used. 

Then, i apreciatte your intension, but i understand that post is in the topic, to me, correct.

If no is correct, then the moderators change or delete this.

Do you have Melodyne installed?

Yes. 

I think that is a plugin problem into this project. Because if i turn off all plugins is working. I need going isolate the plugins one-by-one to identify the problematic.

Melodyne Region - This is new to me. When i made a melodyne region the daw silence all audio.
Tip to solution ?

Please, can you arrange the unlocking?

We're doing what we can as quickly as we're able to do it. We appreciate people's patience. In the case of offline activation, this is not something that will impact the vast majority of users, so it's kind of a special case scenario. That said, check your PMs. We do what we can to unblock people who reach out. 

I started receiving this message. What it is ?

Dear FORUM friends.

We ended the year 2023 without the long-awaited BETA version of the new, brand-new SONAR, with the correction of thousands of bugs or non-bugs as many friends here reiterate, and countless other innovations having been made available.

During this period there were many good approaches, others not so much and many even inelegant, bordering on bad manners.

At the end of this year, I call on all of us, users of the tool, to be more united in helping each other so that the tool reaches a satisfactory point of evolution.

Until then, I continue to use the current version for what suits me and, of course, I started using REAPER in its latest version, which is very consistent and full of features that I was unaware of and are fully serving me.

I wish you all a great 2024.

As you've signed the NDA, you should know that you do not discuss Sonar outside the private Sonar Beta discussion group. It's really that simple.

Your response is very kind.
Could you tell me where I can access the group, since the message received doesn't say anything about this?

I received an email yesterday asking me to sign a confidentiality agreement about the new SONAR.

I signed!

What are the next steps for using the BETA version?

My biggest concern when carrying out such tests is not to interfere with the version I am using in production of my work.

Is there a danger that installing the BETA version when done will interfere with what I already have installed?

HOW TO SET UP THE M-AUDIO KEYSTATION 49 es as a Control Surface - BASIC CONTROLS

In Preferences-MIDI Devices, select the MIDIIN2 option (Keystation 49es)

Then in MIDI Control surfaces configure a new standard Machie Control surface for this MIDIIN2 device (Keystation 49es)

I have an M-AUDIO KEYSTATION 49es midi controller and I would like to know if anyone has a tutorial or even a Configuration File that I can use directly in Cakewalk to configure it as a control surface.

It depends on what you mean by performance.  It will take longer to open 3 devices than 1 device.  If you have "Always open all devices" checked, this is done once, otherwise it's done on demand when you arm a track.

Once the device is open however, there is no difference in performance.


 

The device is the same (TASCAM US 600)!
Is there a difference in whether it opens all the ports or only the ones I will actually use?
