This Cakewalk swag, of which you speak....

So far, users have to wrap our heads around, 1. The announcement was made, what, nine months ago? It's uncommon to say the least for a rollout to take this along. Especially since.... 2. There really are no feature updates. Just a HiDPI update and some bug fixes, which is expected from any product. 3. There has been zero clarity as to how much the thing will sell for and how it will be paid. The "pssst, over here" Bandlab sneak peek thing is lame. Sorry, it just is. Someone who subscribes to Bandlab just for the Sonar access might end up paying twice one the real pricing is rolled out. This is the weirdest, softest rollout of any software I have ever seen, bar none. 4. And Bandlab...some legacy Cakewalk Plugins and Virtual Instruments aren't really worth much of anything in 2024. Session Drummer? Concrete Limiter? C'mon man.

Un-installing plugins? Heresy! Keep 'em coming.

Transpose the desired tuning down a step then capo as required ....

Are you sure it's Sonar Platinum you're using, and not Cakewalk by Bandlab? If it's SPLAT, then that hasn't been supported for a long while.

Adam Audio is offering this synth for free to registered folks. Is it worth d/l'ing? It looks like it's been around a long time.

ps, I found that the ones I wanted were in the deal after all. carry on.....

Ah well, was interested in the Brainworx SSLs....

It says any 2 plugins but none of the good ones are eligible?

Cakewalk should invest in a billboard on that stretch. They'd reach a lot of users. Right by the big guy statue that used to hold a golf club. Now the Porsche track....

I had a Fed Ex delivery from Sweetwater, some high hat cymbals. The box was mighty light in weight and sure enough, when I opened it up, therecwere no cymbals, just packing stuff and oh yeah, the candy. The box had been sliced open and crudely re-taped shut. Sweetwater sent another set, which made it here. They requested an investigation....

A bird in the hand.

The Bricasti IRs are floating around out there. Last I saw they were at Samplecity. I have to shout out to Jim Roseberry for his Reverb Tools IRs that he compiled. Lots of nice stereo Tc, Lexi etc.

My specs are in my signature. My workflow is generally to export my mix as a wave file and drop that into a fresh project with Lurssen (and any other mastering plugs) on the master bus. Trying to combine mixing and mastering in one project is not best practice. That said, I am able to use Lurssen in a combined project without crackles. At 258 to 512 samples, depending on conplexity of the mix.

It works flawlessly on a 24/48 project here, with 512 samples. Babyface Pro .
