Introducing Cakewalk Next and our new brand identity
Keni replied to Jesse Jost's topic in News & Announcements
Yeah... I always loved the name and logo they had back then... Twelve Tones and the dancing cake! I remember when they were thinking about new names before chosing Sonar... Long ago... -
I love to watch... Not participate! đ

Introducing Cakewalk Next and our new brand identity
Keni replied to Jesse Jost's topic in News & Announcements
I'm with you here... I've got too many decades of learning, skills, and techniques working with this wonderful Cakewalk/Sonar product. I have less than zero intention of changing now... If for no other reason is I still believe it's the best DAW available! I have others and never use them though I have learned how. I just don't like their' systems... I would miss some things if I had to go back that far, but better than the alternative for me... -
Amazing how people self-flagellate due to displaced anger!
-
OK... I've now been seeing this regularly... If I'm in Console View and I select a few tracks with ProChannel open Holding Ctrl and clicking enable on one enables all selected.... good Holding Control and setting level on one adjust all selected... good They are all defaulted to S type as expected Holding Ctrl and clicking on N Type? uh-oh! The first which was clicked on correctly changed to N, but all the others changed to A! I can repeat this ad infinitum in every project...
-
Yes! Nicely put. I felt much of this too. Iâm actually happy to be going back to a paid version. I have much more confidence in the product lasting. I have been amazed at all that Meng did for us!

Yes, you're correct in that it really depends on the terms of their' deal. Such as maintaining the Old Sonar Products library for existing Sonar owners. Bandlab took that over. Gibson no longer tied to it in that way if any... Very cool having the old floppy.... I might have some of them floating around too as I saved everything but can I find it? Too many moves to make that easy if even possible... đ I started using it back then too... Cakewalk for Windows (1.0) -

With all that bling I would call it Sonar Sweet! -

Maybe to some degree, but Iâve been working with The Bakers since back in the day of Greg H. And they have always been the most in touch team Iâve ever worked with! It was never a partnership though we have been contributors due to the team's willingness to listen and desire to improve. They were every bit as in touch with their user base then as they are now! -

Letâs think about this. The Bakers donât want Sonar to perform worse than CbB... so maybe we should give them the trust and faith that they too want it working well! I know itâs hard for me, but a little patience is probably the best I can have right now. I am very excited ! -

Maybe... Only time will answer these issues. Sadly, we're all stuck speculating... Mesmerized in the headlights of the announcement. I know I'm still reeling and High in anxiety for it's release! I hope it's soon while I can still manage some cash! -
So you made yourself âsufferâ with anger and action against Cakewalk who did nothing wrong. It was Gibson who did the nasty!
-
Bad comparison. The reason is unimportant. I didnât hear you making claims about why Gibson caused all this. The point is that the original company is gone along with any obligations THEY had to you. This is a new company whoâs so far Iâve only given you things for free yet you complain when they ask for some recompense
-
Too many simultaneous posts!
-
Yes. We were part of itâs development. But the company died due to Gibson's actions. The new owners donât owe us anything. They gave us things freely and now that theyâre finally trying to make it viable again you feel we deserve something? So far theyâve been extremely giving so Iâm guessing that though they technically and legally owe us nothing they are creating a pricing system that will be reasonable. My house was foreclosed after 16 years of payments. Do you believe the new owners owe me anything? I built the house and developed it all those years... I would love it if they decided to give me a portion of what they rent it for?
-
Youâre confusing two different companies. Youâve never paid Bandlab one cent for CbB
-
Yes. Ordinarily I might agree, but dealing with a defunct company and now a new company remarketing. They didnât take over Cakewalk. The bought intellectual rights to a dead product/company. Everyone invested lost everything then. Anything we've gotten since are new things based on that technology, but not that company . But on a positive note, I am hoping they offer some kind of value for people who have helped support getting them here. If we hadnât all embraced CbB I doubt it would have continued. It would have fallen by the wayside. So I see this more as a long worked recovery finally coming to term.
-
We werenât suckers. Both sides entered the agreement in good faith. It was Gibson who did wrong but with the help of Meng and the remaining staff total disaster was averted. This sounds more like a healthy move back into a more "sound" situation.
-
yeah... My first computer programming was on mainframes before they even had monitors. just punch cards and printouts. I even did some early "computer music" that way in 1969! My first DAW ran a dual 5 1/4" floppy system. Hard drives were not yet available. Somewhere around 1985 They finally appeared with 5 and 10 Megabyte capacity!

BTW... I was just wondering... Will this affect the forum as well? -

Toolbar arrangement aside. It looks like the Cakewalk we all know and love! -

Their Specs Claim Windows 10 and up -
Yes, but they have also told us there will be one mor CbB update. Likely it will either remove the need for authorization or the authorizations will continue for anyone already in possession of CbB They also confirm that it will continue to operate alongside both versions of Sonar! I canât wait! I also look forward to checking out Next as I do operate both OS
-
This made me think that it may be browser based or something similar. Maybe using a custom browser? Easy way to make the product compatible with multiple platforms. Not for me though. I would love to have a mac version of Sonar (actually I do have one they tested long ago and I believe it still works in it's limited capacities as an experiment). Not that I want to work on a mac, but I use an intel mac running win10 under Bootcamp so it would be great to be able to work on either OS. I prefer the windows OS myself but I have so many friends....
