Frankly, I think this conversation is a waste of time. I am perfectly happy with the production and attention this group at Bandlab has given my go to daw over the years. Worrying about other venues is foolish and a needless discussion. Perfecting this on Windows is a important priority and works well for me. Thank you people for your efforts and accomplishments with Cakewalk. It keeps getting better and better, and the fact that you listen to users and their input is really special.

Start freezing tracks once you get them where you want them. It will lighten the load on Cake.

Well said, Craig.

Thank you. Just did that. Sorry for venting my frustrations but I am working against a deadline and thought I could easily pull this off since I kept all my install files and codes. No cigar. Thanks for taking the time to respond.

Ok...got everything installed...right up and through Sonar Platinum. It tells me I am in demo mode?????????? I've cut three albums with this software and I am now back in demo mode after paying all my appropriate fees through those years. I am not going to repeat here what my response is to that. It sent me online to get a new authorization, though I have all my old serial numbers etc. Of course, it will NOT let me put any code in because I need the authorization from some unknown person. Holy crap. This is frustrating. Can't get my bandlab to work because it seesn this in limbo. I do not have time to BS around with this. I may have to finally move to another daw. Have had a couple of sleepless nights over this now. What to do? What to do? Damn, damn, damn. Meanwhile this stupid blue demo Mode square is hanging in my lower left hand corner telling me to activate this offline. Right. Stick it.

Thanks Scook. was looking for an existing thread but failed. Must be senility creeping in. Appreciate the re-direct.

Ok, so if I am getting this right, you do not have to go back any further than X2a to start installing on Win 10. Correct. And, of course, it will install on Win 10 or is there a special way to go about it?? By the way Scook, thank you for directing me over here. Don't know why I didn't find this thread. I certainly searched. Oh well . thank you. Trying to get all my ducks in order before the end of the week and the unit arrives. thank you all.

Ok, I am finally taking Noel's advice and moving to Win 10. I see the writing on the wall. I have a new laptop coming this week with Win 10 Pro installed as well as DDR4 Ram and SSD. Now the question...since I am a long time user through all the Sonar paid versions, I need a step by step tutorial on how to move everything to the new laptop from Win 7 to Win 10. Any guidance will be appreciated. All my project files are on external disks, so I think I am good there and I do have all the install files backed up on another drive. I just need to get my daw files and, of course, my vsts and vstis over to the new unit. Thank you for any guidance on this transition.

That is it, Jon. Thank you. IF I would have know that thread existed, I would have posted it there. Found it informative, though. Thank you for that.

No problem with me as long as they add a quality reverb to take the place of Breverb . Thank you so much for commenting on my question. Really appreciate it.

Apparently, I am the only one who has ever had this issue. geez.

Over the course of updates etc, I have had plugs stop working or suddenly not be seen. Most of them seem to have rectified themselves and came back into play. No, I don't know how or why, I just know they did., and frankly, I don't care as long as they work. HOWEVER, one that has NOT returned to being a functional plugin is Breverb 2. Unfortunately, I used it on 95% of my projects which now makes them all messed up when I load any of them. Usually, there is some distortion or simply no sound from the module they are used on. Question: I am disturbed enough by this occurance, or lack thereof, that I would like to replace Breverb 2 with another reverb plug in the Pro Module. There has to be a simple way to do this. I keep going in circles reading the Pro Channel tutorials. If someone knows a quick and easy way, I would sincerely appreciate it. Thank you for reading my question and understanding my plight.

Suddenly vsts like Overloud Breve reverb are not working. So much for paid for life b.s. Now, any mix I did previously with that and other plugs will not play correctly or the tracks are blocked because of those plugs. I will not say that I am annoyed, because if I said what I am thinking right now, I would be banned from this forum. So, I will try and calm myself down and chalk it up to being screwed again. Very, very annoying people.

This could not possibly the Marilyn Chambers I recall...nooooooooooo wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy.

I have had the same thing happen. It does open as saved then it kind of clicks itself into its own setting. Problem is, once that happens the original saved screen is forgotten.
