I have Windows 10 at my office. I am a project coordinator for an CAD firm by day. Somethings about 10 I love and others are just UGH!! I think most audio /video people stayed with 7? ....and the smart ones are on a Mac 😃 Some day!!

Yep, I meant SONAR, not Windows 7 and you guys are the best! Thank you so much for the help. I do mostly the admin work and video editing (Vegas 18) but I wanted to play around and learn SONAR for me. Thank you again!

Officially, Windows 7 is not supported, but I recall seeing a statement from the developers some time back, indicating that nothing has been done to the code base that specifically prevents Cakewalk from running on Windows 7 (except that it is 64-bit only but that isn't an issue for you).

It's a relatively easy test for you to install it and find out. Caveat: I haven't tried installing the latest CbB on Windows 7, and it might not work, but I haven't seen any reports on this forum about it no longer being possible.

As for Kontact, although I haven't used the full retail version myself, only the Player that comes with some of my libraries. I'm sure many folks here do run the full Kontact, and I do not know of any reason why it would be a problem.

Thank you, Colin. I guess my only question now is where to purchase a Windows 7 version. I will look around. Would like to test - like you suggested.

Hi Guys,

So we use Pro Tools mostly but after spending some time here, we wanted to learn more. Here's the catch: Our studio and Pro Tools hardware (sound cards if you will) are running on Windows 7/64 Bit. Is there a version available to us or has SONAR gone to Windows 10 only? Also, what full retail version (if any and not a player) of Kontakt may be used within SONAR?

Thank you,

Hello Dawn!
Welcome to the Cakewalk forum.

My apologies if you found my post offensive (I can see why you might so I modified it slightly).

Thank you for the clarification.

It isn't clear from the Paravox X web page that you also have Paravox available (and that it is also on sale, 50% off at $59.99)
https://www.beladmedia.com/paravox/

Does either version require the full version of Kontakt or is NI licensing included?

I will happy to directly provide you some feedback.

Just to share - I think he and I are good now :-) Women? What can ya do? lol 
If there are any questions, please don't hesitate. Peace guys!

Sounds very cool - are the whispers separate instruments/patches, or are they baked into the vocals?

Thank you :-) and see pic. There is also a video playing only the pure samples. 
Please visit the site. FYI - the only thing heard in the 2 videos that is NOT Paravox X are the low bass drones. Just wanted to make that clear :-)

Where's the beef?
How big is the sample set?  What audio resolution? Where's the walk through on patches?

It's hard for me to get a feel for what's actually being sold based on the product's vague demos and lack of information.
Feels like a small sample set of unknown quality inflated with effects that I would rarely use.
"each sustained vocal element has softly embedded sound designed textures such as icy whispers and ghostly breathe"
Meh - don't do a lot of Halloween or horror themed projects; and if you can't control the volume or mix ratio of these effects then double meh.
That such features are touted as major selling points instead of library depth or other features is concerning.

I'd love be wowed by a nice female vocal library especially if it fills niches left out in other libraries such as Heavyocity, Output or Realivox.
If so, hey - please take my money!!

 

ps. I just wanted to add - Bela D Media is a specialist in sampled voice. It's all we produce. Please download those demos :-) You can even try the Vocal Tools Audition packs @ $10.00 each and 100% of your investment may be applied toward an upgrade of the full S A T B Vocal Tools Quartet.

SPAM GIRL MODE OFF lol
Thank you, guys!

I'm seeing it (and I didn't purge any cache even) but I'm a desktop running real browsers (I tried Firefox Nightly and Chrome both work).  Web caching can be almost impossible to work out.  His ISP and/or one of the CDNs may also be responsible.  Usually I just tell people to try another web browser.  Sooner or later the cache will catch up.

Awesome~ Thank you!!

I spent the morning hunting down jQuery fixes for abandoned plugins.  The jQuery Migrate Helper plugin can help for now but won't solve the actual problem.  They keep saying Wordpress 5.5 is largely a success, but it's not true.

Would you be so kind to take a test look for me? I see the content now but a user does not. I believe he simply needs to delete cache. I have purged as well.

Fist and for most @ TheSteven

I really, really want to thank you for the apology. It was not needed but very gracious of you.  I will apologize as well. I can get a little  "B word" defensive about my work lol You should hear what my day job boss says about me :-) Please feel free to contact and I will provide an NFR. The catch? Just love the sound!

@ The group

1. @ TheSteven was correct in saying there wasn't much info. It turns out that the Word-press 5.5 update is wreaking havoc on a a few million sites.
https://www.searchenginejournal.com/wordpress-5-5-issues/377851/

2. All issues on Bela D Media have been resolved. You can now see full details again.
* See for example: Paravox. All details are now visible again.
https://www.beladmedia.com/paravox/

3. Requirements.
Perhaps they too had gone missing do to the Word-press update? You can find requirements on every product page near the "Add to cart" and the main contact page also includes FAQs, and etc.
Presently all Bela D Media products require the full version of Native Instruments Kontakt. Our products do not include a Player/Engine/VSTi. Any Player/Engine/VSTi you may own from another product cannot be used. This includes the free Kontakt player or demo modes. Native Instruments Kontakt 4/5. Tested successfully in Kontakt 6 but not yet officially stated to be compatible.

4. 50% price reduction
At the start of 2020, Bela D Media implemented a permanent price reduction of 50% off. This will not expire. The reduction does make offering additional discounts a touch difficult but we felt it was the right decision. 

5. @ cclarry
It's BeLa D, not BeLLa :-) and thank you for always sharing our news. It's very kind of you!

Firstly, please try not to be so offensive. Perhaps a better approach would have been to contact me directly and offer kind suggestions of improvement or ask to how to download the Kontakt demo of the product? Did you miss that, Sir? When taking the time to review the product page, the reader will find complete details, a composers in-use audio demo and 2 out of the box video examples showing exactly what the product sounds like. We did not feel the need for a walk-though when our visitors may simply download the Kontakt demo and walk on their own. To continue, Paravox X is a sub set of a main product Called Paravox. Perhaps that was overlooked?

Of unknown quality? if I may say so, Bela D Media has been in existences since 2003 with thousands of users world wide, sold by all major outlets and multiple 5 star reviews. I think it's safe to say the quality is well known by the industry and again, download the demo and please be the judge. Contact me if you need assistance getting the demo.

Now with all of this said, I am fully authorized to and will gladly send you a NFR of Paravox or Paravox X in the hope to change your view. Our users, our press and our name (1 L by the way “Bela” lol) is extremely important to us and I personally will do what I can to see you in become a fan! It matters to us. I also just reviewed the page per your comments (thank you) and see that a word-press update has removed some data that was set in a toggle function. I will fix that ASAP. 

Thank you,

Featuring the same youth soprano, Paravox X is created with previously unreleased vowel samples from the original Paravox recordings. With careful manipulation and imaginative sound design, Paravox X is to be considered a gathering of vocal generated ambient pads.

Soprano solo voice 16 years of age
Studio dry-environment audio
Historic Church IRF included
Near microphone positioning
44.1hz 24 bit stereo
Recorded via the CAD Trion 8000 tube microphone and Pro Tools
