With regard to Legao, why they don't just have a Legato option under Process is beyond me. Retrograde but no Legato...oversight.

CAL scripts are obsolete and they are not developed anymore i think in futrure they will make better option for this than CAL script.

The sad thing is that in many ways it already is the best. There are GREAT qualities about Cakewalk. It's just frustrating seeing so much potential being wasted because of bugs that have been around for years yet still haven't been fixed.

But everytime I mention anything about it people will just say "go back to Ableton" or whatever. People who claim to be so pro-Cakewalk telling somebody who left another DAW who came to Cakewalk to "go back" to the DAW they came from. Who does that?

Yes but we all together need Help Bakers to track all these bugs and they can fix it i know. We all can make this DAW Best of all.Many bugs fixed already and i know also Audio snap problems will be fixed. About CAL scripts they are obsolette and Cakewalk don't work with CAL scripting anymo0re.

Agree about Audio Snap it should be fixed. I know all these things will be fixed if Bakers informed about this. This DAW will become best DAW

Yes but with mouse all things are done more precise. I prefer mouse because i tried FL Studio mobile and i didn't like it. I like do things more precise with mouse. Touchscreen is good for DAW control for example.

OK, I see: I don't think that's a good idea without immediately offering the level and pre/post settings - it's half-baked and will lead to more questions/poor usage.  And adding those extra controls in to a popup could easily become unwieldy.

Totally agree about that in studio one its half baked and looks like incomplete Many expierenced people here and we all can discuss together about features and figure them out with better flexibility

Yes buty maybe in smart way this function can be better in Cakewalk its oppotunity toi refine this better : )

Genuine question for those requesting this (I think this may what Noel is alluding to): since CbB essentially creates a bus that can feed a sidechain input (so multiple tracks can feed the same sidechain with different levels), how would you represent this on a plug-in's GUI cleanly and clearly and without losing this functionality?

Its only shortcut of sends and visual representation of status of channels with which sends made.Its nothing special. Imagine it as list of sends and list items can checked and unchecked.When check item or channel name then send made

Great article. This sums it up 😛

I've been at Cakewalk over 20 years and have worked on every single version of Cakewalk SONAR as well as several new products that started from scratch. 
Guess what - the new products didn't have a smaller bug to feature complexity ratio. Its flawed thinking to to assume that something new must be better and is something mostly propagated by inexperienced engineers.

To take a somewhat tangential parallel from architecture, a lot of Europe doesn't throw away their old buildings, they maintain and renovate. Why? Obviously in large part its because they see art and value in it but its also because they have strong foundations and value.

The fact that we have been releasing high value updates almost monthly for the last 3 years should be enough to convince naysayers that we're actively improving the product  and its not "legacy code" whatever that is.

Yes and testing also is hard. Its beauty of OOP Of reusable objects if all tested and works well why write  module again if input and expected output is same : ) I think rewriting code what is tested and works well is regression instead of progress.Sometimes some refactoring of code but its code optimization not writing it again. If  big code base build it can be wasted hours of hard work to writing code from scratch again.

Nobody else has your problem. We do all this using the smart tool one handed. The other hand is needed to hold the beer mug 

Maybee i need mouse with doule click button all sovled thanks about help : )

That is subjective. Don't get me wrong ,I love CbB but there are other DAW's that I like and use for other reasons.  I come to the conclusion that there is no one best DAW out there.  If CbB fits your needs use it and be happy.

Agree

Thanks Noel and I agree with you the Bakers are doing a fantastic job with the DAW we love.    If you're on Windows 10 download it and give it a spin. Maybe it might not be your #1 DAW but still nice to have on your system just in case.

Cakewalk is so easy and very good look at video how easy to build chords and fast in Cakewalk. Absolutely best DAW

Cakewalk in composing can beat every DAW! Snap to scale and poly audition of chords and piano roll all together unbeatable.

I'm sorry but that article is so full of misguided nonsense I'm not even going to bother commenting. For one I'm not sure when it was posted since the information is completely out of date and speculates on things the author clearly has no knowledge about.

I will comment on the commonly quoted reference about "old code". Developers don't rewrite code unless it makes sense to do so. Cakewalk is continually being refactored and new features being added while actively improving the existing features. I wish people didn't write stuff they have no understanding about

Here is a link to an article that mentions all the achievements since BandLab acquired Cakewalk. The link Scook posted covers in detail all the improvements and updates to existing features.
 

Totally agree about code. C++ exists also long time and never gets old : ) I think article author doesn't have any programming background. Also agree about why reinvent wheel and rewrite existing code : )

Yes. the smart tool uses  double-click is insert note but click-drag is insert and size in one motion.

The slightest drag creates notes just like click in the draw tool. A longer drag invokes resize.

Or

Wait until the draw tool is modified to your specifications.

 

Either way is fine by me.

Yes but i would love for example i insert note witrh pencil toll and holding alt and when i release and pressing shift  i can move and resize note : )

What you are asking for is already in the smart tool. It can draw, move and resize without switching tools.

Until all the tools contain the similar functions in different orders and key combinations, consider developing a workflow around the smart tool. 

It will eliminate most tool switching.

Yes but insert note with single click instead of double click

It at the top of this page in the menu 

I’m real old guy and I have no problem using the internet 😺

I need behaviour like in video i showed when i take pencil tool and pressing alt key i can insert and move note but when i release mouse i cant resize and move note without switching to move tool or smart tool. My idea was when i press shift key or something like that i can move and resize note with pencil tool

Thanks for the reply.    So I would need to learn each because they are different interfaces (Bandlab online and Cakewalk by Bandlab)?

Here is the page where I read what I thought says it's not being updated, under Con - Old Code, pretty far down the page.  Did I misunderstand?

I can say Cakewalk is better than many DAWS there. I used Fl studio. CUbase, Studio One. I like Cakewalk and information in article there isn't true, i think people prefer paid products but Cakewalk is better than many paid products. I see Cakewalk in future as best DAW of all. I was obsessed with Studio one but i started to use Cakewalk and i like it and i don't need Studio one anymore.

Yes but i need when i have pencil tool some key to allow me to move notes when mouse released pencil+alt

This is covered in the documentation. It’s well worth the time to read this as it can make you workflow better 

I can't find sore

Freehand tool+ shift key move note in PRV or resizes note when from note egde. Because i can draw note and move with Freehand tool+alt but when i release mouse i need to switch to smart tool to move note what I inserted. Would be very cool to holding shift key with pencil freehand tool to possibility to move  note like with move tool

Pencil+alt key behaviour with smart tool by pressing some key? For example  if i press alt with smart Tool i can draw note with one clock and cut by pressing samrt tool+ctrl+alt i can draw notes but i need to get behaviour like with pencil tool+alt key behaviour with Smart tool

Or a Menu / Hotkey with:

 

This from Studio one?

Realtime track filter like in cubase would be more powerful when type in search for example piano and all tracks only showing with piano in name

Would be cool also Shared audio clips where i made some editing in one shared copy then editing changes also applies on other shared copies. Maybe already its possible?

I think it will be a game changer for certain electronic styles,  side-chaining is all over them and the easier you can make it the more you will attract those types of producers.

That's why there are a bunch of plugins that emulate side-chaining like  Kickstart , LFO tool , Duck etc. as it's often easier to drop one of those on a track.

Great to hear it's on the to do list, CW just gets better and better. How much do I need to bribe you to implement nested track folders ? 🤑

Nested folders good idea in organization. Maybe  is even some better method than nested folders?
