SC seems another terrible plugin manager...

After attempt to update plugins I have for short time an error with info error : false... Running as admin doesn't help either. So another regression in such simple program...

And every time when run it gives annoying info about need for ilok component. And of course, no any option to select what type of plugins and where to install...

Grrr...

I agree with Zo as well... Urgent need is something what requires help the most.

With deep respect to all ideas, but for instance young talented in music child can wait a year and still reach her/his dream.

But for instance people who are suffering from illness cannot have another chance ever for anything... They can not have enough time to collect resources for a cure and need it as fast as possible to save their life ...

Also their families suffered so much and probably in many cases spent a lot of money to try to fight to help and  can be under double drama, with deep loss of beloved one and without money to survive through hard times.

wow... this is very nice thing... I bought it for about 1.4 Waves or so and still was happy...

I got that same message on the last two updates.  I just went to C:\Program Files\Cakewalk\Cakewalk Core
and moved the file to the Cakewalk directory and then hit try again.  It won't let you delete it, but it will let 
you move the file, and you don't have to kill any processes to do it!

But, but,  but...  it is a pleasure to kill a process which is sneakily doing something in folders which are not belonging to it without any permission... 🔨  😜

Hm, trying to update I got error like below:

So I tried to delete it manually. Refused as according to Windows explorer process Waveslocalserver locked it (!! ).

So I rebooted to have a pure session and still didn't help...  So I ended it with task manager as was sure with pure session I didn't do anything with Waves consciously...

It helped instantly so thanks to such Waves secret improvements  I will join soon into WUP haters club... 😕

I had already found it...LOL  Of course...Imperial...the KING of Margarines!

I have forgotten you have built-in interface to Internet so it is not possible to be faster than you

Yes that part is amazing but that is why it is so ugly looking IMHO 😂

Well, I saw pictures where Repear had got loaded pretty nice skins

Yep, while appreciating lots of work done by devs since Bandlab acquired Sonar the true is there are still plenty of drops about workflow in CbB. Sometimes very ancient things or even thing which could be considered like very old but still existing bugs.

Like for instance if playing loop trying to change its range there is a noticeable and annoying break in playing.

For comparison such thing can be flawlessly done even in build-in looper in Amplitube4...

Pain of using automation can be felt when trying to select a feature to automate with plugin which has tens of params which can be automated... Displaying longer than screen high list of params is things which discourage to use it at once...

Also plenty of not finished things like pretty dumb quantization lacking many useful possibilities. 

There is very long list things to improve to let be CbB the best DAW (I don't consider only free but all DAWs as there is huge potential with many great things already there).

The thing which amaze me the best about Reaper is it full-featured, complex DAW with download 14 MB....

Incredible these days...

Well. while it looks like it has lots of interesting possibilities  to shape after watching video demo I was very disappointed.  Very little musical examples, lots of strange results more suitable for experiments than music.  Most of them sounds like I never want to use... 🤔

Anyone tested it in more musical context? Not just sculpting things maybe not possible for other delays but the question is if it means usable in longer terms?

Very challenging thing to implement. I wish it worked like we would like to but I doubt it could be than in this way.  It would be better  to implement DAW with special client/server architecture. And to be honest I am little surprised nobody is working on that.

I wonder if @Peter - IK Multimedia and the AT5 team would be interested in putting their VIR capture robot on it for a hypothetical SVX3. At 600 IRs per speaker, at least 35 speakers... 21,000 IRS for one cab? 

Yup, if they are convinced it is so good, why not to create additional product with cabs. Not lots of work they needed to build with ready blocks and additional market for them. IR loaders which just loading IR are painful and require lot of effort. But GUI cabs with moveable mics are where engine is selecting and adjusting IR itself according to GUI is different animal in use.

Since I started to use WoS I just cannot imaging going back to regular IR loader and dyeing with hours moving through   dirs with hundreds/thousands IRs

My friendly advise about plugins from those guys.

Never buy them in blind just after looking some videos on net. Unless you personally tested or absolutely convinced you want them just skip...

AFAIK they're still not providing any demo. And there is a good reason for that.

I bought a few years ago their amp sim (Jason Richardson - in blind as no demo - just after watching demo video).  And in fact almost (?) every of my other amp sims (which I have plenty) is better about sound and usability (at least for my guitars /Ibanez +Strat-Tele hybrid/).  It is usable but not giving anything special. But of course Jason playing with it (or in fact anything else) can impress heavily.

The true about video demo is great guitar player can sound very good even using am sim from Cakewalk Sonar 2.0 with some cabs. And if he adds some warm words we are ready to buy...

But it would be even forgivable if not their completely lack of support. After 1 year I was not even able to load what I buy if I would like to reinstall. Not mentioning any version updates.

There are zylion of zylions great plugins so I would like market force them to start respect their own customers or disappear...

These newer one's say that they require iLok.  The older one's don't.  I'm just saying what the specs say...

Well that stinks! I may have to switch over to OrangeTree to get my mandolin (in the plans for Ample Sound after they get their banjo done).

Guys, iLok seems to be required for their products which are Chinese instruments only (native to their own market). So no rule new product will get iLOK but only Chinese one.

In this topic, while of of course I appreciate combo all-in-1 solutions, let's not to forget about possibilities like building own dedicated processors using tools like Waves StudioRack or KiloHertz SneapHeat etc...

We can just build our own design using building block as we want... More open and flexible although of course it can be much more expensive if one has no plugins of given manufacturer...

The page is ready and trial available now

Imagine if IK did the same. Then they could claim to have over 200 amp simulations!

Yup.  And actually that marketing illness destroys workflow and experience. It is not just obvious lie.

What next that guy can 'invent' ? Separate amps for treble and bass, different tubes, resistors?

Even more numbers for marketing like 'there is over 1 million simulation in new TH-X version...' 😕

How it was even possible to convince product manager or developers to such decision. The only person that can be tricked in such primitive way would be people who have never see any guitar amps in real... 

Yup. In fact there are tens things which should be improved and I would love to share with them but forcing fb platform?? 

Maybe this is another brilliant idea of that marketing 'genius' who encouraged developers to  artificially split amp sims to few different instances (like separate amp sim is for every real amp channel starting with TH3? just to lies people they have bigger number of amps simulated  )

Oh boy...

Actually this might not be so bad. While Gibson has had a number of quality control problems over the years, they’ve staged a bit of a comeback in the last few, with their new management. The new Les Paul Standard 50s and 60s are very good quality instruments, as are their acoustics made in Bozeman and Custom Shop offerings. And unlike the infamous sale of Fender to CBS back in the day, Gibson is at least a music-focused company.

I admire your optimistic approach.

I am pretty skeptical though. Cakewalk was musical company and Gibson was musical company and we remembered what happened. 

Also acquiring by Ronald before was disaster. Ronald left Cakewalk and dedicated hardware users alone...

I still have 2 hardware pieces from those days. VStudio-20 & A300Pro. Users abandoned. No will to develop or even support for Win10  (VS ). Rather bitter experience.

And I could recall how big hopes I had those days just because it was famous music company...

This must be the worst plugin name at least for 2021 lol

We are just  at the begging of the year so wait for it 😛

I'm new to this so I'm not sure what triggers it.  I did not get one and spent over $80 out of pocket in the last 2 weeks.

Their politics was  previously:

but maybe in your case if you didn't buy anything earlier than 2 months ago it didn't start to apply.

hm, I still didn't get my new long awaited $25 voucher

After a year of penalty with $50 anti-voucher I hoped for better time at PA shop... But well ... My last 12 months spending were ways over $50 so I expected $25 voucher would be granted

Anybody with similar experience?

It's being said in the video above, or I have misunderstood! 😄

Let me answer to this with quoting of part of MIDI 2.0 specification:

1.1 Reliance Upon Other Specifications
Implementers should understand that this Specification is not a stand-alone document, in the following
regards:
• The UMP Format sections describe a transport-independent payload format, not necessarily the low-level
data format that will actually be used “on the wire” or “over the air” for any particular standardized
transport (such as USB, UDP, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, etc.). MMA/AMEI expect that for every standardized
transport that uses the UMP Format, a separate specification will exist to define how to carry UMP
payload data for that standardized transport. See also Section 2.1.1.1

is usb only, i.e. less safe connections compared to the past.

hm, why you are assuming usb only ? I think it is different, higher  layer of protocol independent on more physical layers...
