as long as i will not have to learn a brand new DAW system, i'll stick with cakewalk. I'm with them since 25 years!

please make the transition effortlessly and don't change the "user experience" too much.  Otherwise, if i have to "learn" too much things and have to change my workflow too much,  switching to cubase may have added values such as extended compatiblity with external controllers...

I feel like Cakewalk's UX is rather cemented, it's hard to imagine Bandlab, having made their DAW entry on the Cakewalk crowd, from departing radically from the trad UX.

I've used Cubase and Logic, as well as PARIS for a long time, ended up back with Cakewalk/Sonar after ~15 years of barely using it, and while it's radically transformed from its pre-audio/MIDI-only days, I have to say its paradigm remained/remains familiar - and, to me, likable, though that's just preference.  I suppose it has something to do with its Windows-related UI.

I am an old man. I'll cross that bridge ^^^ later on if it comes.

I am a worrier, too, so I understand the question, but for now, I will keep my faith in the company that resurrected  and continued to improve SONAR after it wasTa abandoned and discontinued by the former owner.  

Same; I'm an OLD user of Cakewalk, back from the '90s before it was "Sonar", and frankly bringing back the Sonar name gives me no comfort in and of itself BUT I have really appreciated how Bandlab not only kept the old DAW alive but even made it more reliable as well as even improved it.  I'm also encouraged that Bandlab is going full-throttle with Cakewalk/Sonar, betting their DAW/music production future on it.

That said, it's been an amazing benefit not paying for updates to CbB so that I could invest in more video as well as audio plugins and software, will miss that! 

Just wanted to say thanks so much for this @abacab , that tool is great, and of course thanks to @czyky (I'm guessing that's the same person on here as there, who authored it) !  Amazing!  Will help me review for VSTs in preparation to probably de-subscribe from a particular provider, and anyway great info whenever needed.  Here we are in 2023 and STILL working with new projects!

Recently,... whenever I hit the transport (record or play) and then stop, Cakewalk takes about 7 seconds before Cakewalk will allow me to do anything . It's as if the whole program is delaying so it can write something to the drive.  Since I'm all SSD, this kind of delay doesn't make sense. This has started happening in the last 3 months.  I can't figure out why.

While playing, I can skip backwards or forwards with no delay. As soon as I hit stop...it does....something for about 7 seconds. 

It's making Cakewalk unusable. 

Anyone got an answer???

Just mentioning I'm here looking for the solution to the same problem, which also started recently.  I would have thought maybe 1-2 months ago but could be 3.  At first, for quite a while, I assumed it was due to a specific plugin in a project as for quite a while I was working on just that, then as I moved on to other things I realized it just happens all the time.  

At least for me, it's still playing audio for about those 7 seconds when I press stop, then the audio stops after 7 seconds and control returns to UI.

No issues with recording or such; I don't recall changing any parameters.

FYI to anyone researching Ovox and Cakewalk issues, per Waves, "The latest version of OVox is not compatible with Cakewalk. We are working on making it compatible soon. "  

However, the demo worked fine in Cakewalk - I only had problems once I purchased and updated it!  (Even then, it still basically works EXCEPT that I can't save a project with Ovox active, the project cannot then be opened.  So I have to bounce/render any audio once I determine a desirable effect and then leave Ovox off, saving a preset of where I left off if I want to later change it.)
