    How do you update the program?  Bandlab Assistant just takes me to a webpage.  what am I missing?

    Direct method
    https://www.bandlab.com/products/desktop/assistant#download

    Theoretical method
    Clicking 'Update' should start the download/install process in the background:

    Memory method
    If you don't have direct link ready and BA doesn't work, just remember the word "download" and append it to the bandlab.com URL like so: 
    https://www.bandlab.com/download  ...then click the "Desktop Assistant" download button and follow any on-screen direction.

    Do you have to have uploaded something to see this?
    Maybe I'm just not looking in the right place or have not activated something.

    Yep, you must have a project in BandLab in order for it to appear in BA's project list. It can be created in BL or exported to BL from CW. The UI looks like this:

    Honestly I do not know how to thank you

    You just did, thank you!

    Pro software, zero barriers - definitely exciting territory here. The team is thrilled to be continuing Cakewalk's evolution, and your kind words are most appreciated!

    P.S. While the sentiment is deeply warming, tip jar funding is absolutely unnecessary! :)

    I just ask from curiosity because this is first situation on this forum.
    If I have voted a question up and then it's fixed or solved, need vote down? You don't have to care about it?

    The voting up/down is just a way for the community to sort responses, i.e. the best responses are upvoted. An incorrect or off-topic answer can be downvoted. If the question is satisfactorily answered, you can click the checkbox on the post with the best answer:

  7. Thanks all for the great input! 🙏Our plan has been to observe what works/what doesn't and make improvements accordingly. 

    This site's main purpose is to provide a clean, peer-to-peer support community for CbB software. At the onset, we chose to err on the side of minimal, leveraging innate site capabilities like tags, Q&A, polls, quality search and activity features to round out a full experience without needing to rehash of the old forum structure. We didn't want to start from a bloated state, only to decruft later.

    WRT to collapsing the Q&A and main discussion forums - the Q&A forum is the tool of choice for getting a distilled answer with minimal peripheral discussion, due to the voting and best choice features. In short, if you're looking for a "single best answer" to a specific question, your question is probably well-bounded and a good candidate for the Q&A forum. The Q&A forum is succinct and can be skimmed very easily, unlike traditional discussion forums, where topics can be open-ended and may tend toward more subjective matters. In reading through the topics and posts in Q&A and CbB forums respectively, having both seems to be making sense.

    A few other things are resounding here - improvements to forum naming/usage direction, requests for some of the old forum sections, like hardware, software and techniques - all of which are under consideration. WRT the latter, I propose we try using the Coffeehouse as a go-to for _anything_ 3rd party or technique related, keying topics with use tags. Incidentally the Songs forum is getting really good traction, techniques for a given track can be discussed and tagged there, too. A reality of any discussion forum is that regardless of forum name or topic, discussions can drift, so a strict structure provides no guarantee of content accuracy, whereas tags can really help you zero in on areas of interest right away. Tags are super powerful! 

    Thanks for the ongoing discussion, it's a great way to help evolve these forums the right way!
