He is - on his three YouTube channels dedicated to Cakewalk/ Sonar, Studio One and music production more generally

As a moderator there I can say it's a very friendly group and we rarely have any trouble. Just like this place 🙂

Here you go!

You really don't need to worry about the limited number of virtual instruments as there are hundreds available for free on the web - many very, very good ones that give some paid ones a run for their money! There are threads in the Instruments & Effects forum which list many of the free VSTs

That's interesting & strange!

Thanks both. I'll try the MS Forum. My only concern about not having 23H2 is that it will go out of support at some stage. If I haven't been offered it by the time it does go out of support I'll have to do a manual update

I'm using the free version of Macrium and like it. Shame they're not supporting it any longer

Hi all - I am not being prompted by the Windows Update service to update to Window 11 H2 2023 even though it has been out since November. I know MS rolls out installations but I would have though I should have got it by now - I have it on my laptop. I don't have any strange devices attached (I gather drivers can cause issues) just a Canon printer, Logitech wireless keyboard & mouse & Roland Apro 800 controller Is anyone else still waiting? H2 2022 isn't out of security updates yet but it does seem odd to be waiting this long. I know I could install manually but a bit worried in case that goes t*ts up! Spec : 12th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-12700 2.10 GHz , 32Gb RAM 2 internal Samsung SSDs & 2 external Samsung SSDs

@Wookiee your criticism of John, who has been very helpful to Cakewalk & Sonar users,over the years, including me in my early days, appears most unfair.

They certainly are!

Thanks - it doesn't look like I had them!

I should have known Larry would have beaten me - I just posted the same in the Cakewalk sub forum! Still there will be a few people there who don't look here and a lot more who look here but don't look there 🙂

Ah sorry to hear that

Mike's video giving a brief overview of new features

Mmm - to be fair he was comparing the strengths and weaknesses of each DAW and on balance he did consider Studio 1 to have a slightly better workflow overall. However IMO he has never 'lured' anyone away and in fact his Cakewalk group on Facebook is ever growing (full disclosure I'm a mod there). In the video he has been quite upfront about his reasoning, including the commercial aspect, and I, along with many others - judging by the 1.6k subscribers who have signed up (in a day) am glad that he will continue to provide new videos related to Cakewalk / Sonar.
