This is my taking of it too, and I totally get what you say. To a degree yes, time spent just looking at it, playing around and testing with pos glitches to workflow is time wasted not actually creating. Am sure everyone does a bit of that too much! However, I have been so so tempted and now subscribed for the year.
Cakewalk user (after logic went Mac only) since v8 pre X1, I’m not big on publishing my work or socials, but I think Bandlab doing a great job with cakewalk and it might even entice me to use some of the features the backstage pass offers.
Not sure if others do but I use the BandLab app a lot on various devices too, on the go for ideas, voice notes, acting auditions, VO etc as well as music creation.
Re display issues, I have a machine feeding my vocal booth for spoken word, and only have a tiny crappy monitor in there, one bonus I have found is that the new Sonar resolution knocks socks off CbB, not all about 4K if that makes sense to all users
keep up good work bakers
