Not Liking the look of the New Sonar Interface
GreenLight replied to mark foster's topic in Cakewalk by BandLab
I can't believe anyone would type that, ever. Even less typing it without realizing how it makes one come across. -

Thank you @Bristol_Jonesey ! Wow! First impression: I really like it. Cakewalk/Sonar goes modern! -

GreenLight replied to mark foster's topic in Cakewalk by BandLab
Could someone please post a few screenshots of the new Sonar? I'm super-curious but don't have the time or possibility to try it out myself yet... Thanks! -
Shhh! Don't tell anyone. Sonar is now available
GreenLight replied to John Vere's topic in Cakewalk by BandLab
Thanks for the info and for posting the release notes here! Much appreciated. 👍 -

Ok, you had me at Offset mode visualization! This alone one will be worth (almost) any admission price! By the way, has there been an official announcement thread about this "Backstage Pass" release? Or is it a silent launch? What's the release status, is it a public beta? -
Keyboard shortcuts customization - odd behavior
GreenLight replied to mgustavo's topic in Feedback Loop
Yeah, the slowness of the Keyboard shortcut window has been a drag for years. If I remember correctly, I once had Sysinternals Process Monitor running, and apparently Cakewalk scans all the shortcuts from the registry every time (or something along similar lines). -
[CLOSED] Cakewalk 2024.02 Early Access
GreenLight replied to Morten Saether's topic in Early Access Program
This is an interesting aspect that you bring up, Noel. But to be fair, the tables were somewhat reversed when CbB was introduced: many users expressed a lot of concern about the "free" product on these (and other) forums. They wondered how on earth that was possible, and what the catch was. (And to be a bit philosophical, what really was the catch? Is it the discussion of an expiring CbB that we're seeing now?) It wasn't maybe explicitly stated, but from my memory I would say that it was heavily implied, several times. Maybe not intentionally? Or maybe we users read stuff you didn't say into what you said? Anyway, as you mentioned in another reply, a permanent CbB version for those who aren't interested or maybe invested in following along the new Sonar path would definitely "feel good in the belly". That said, I myself am looking forward to the new Sonar! -
I think the message has been delivered quite effectively by now. Each start of Cakewalk – for users who use either the complete OS or just specific processes offline – has the user waiting at least 20+ seconds extra before they can start making music. If we assume that Cakewalk has maybe 300 000 users, and that each user starts Cakewalk once a day, that makes 6 million seconds, or 100 000 minutes or 1 666 hours per day... ⏲️😅 And to be fair, if I'm not wrong there is no upgrade path available (yet), so we can't pay to remove the nag screen, either... If you keep the nag screen, could you please let us be able to close it immediately, without the countdown? Thanks for an amazing product, looking forward to the new Sonar!

Exactly, the more threads we have, the better chance the Bakers get the signal. We love Cakewalk, we're thankful for the free product during these years and we support the Bakers 100%. But it would surely have been sufficient to show the nag screen ONCE, and then no more. And/or to make it optional after the first display. Someone had a bit of "bad luck when they were thinking". But that can happen to anyone, it sure happens to me a lot. 😆

is this an advice that new Sonar is coming ?
GreenLight replied to EnglandBross's topic in Cakewalk by BandLab
Music software developers need to constantly strive to reduce the number of mouse clicks when introducing new features. This teaser popup just increased the amount of clicks ➕ at each Cakewalk start... (Another example, the relatively recently revamped Bounce dialog is no longer possible to close just by pressing Enter. Another added mouse click. ➕ ) Bakers - please always think of the child-, sorry, mouse clicks! ❤ -

So the new Sonar isn't ready yet, despite the popup? ⁉️ UPDATE: It's popping up each time you start Cakewalk, and it's trying to go online as well via msedgewebview2.exe:
