Gros Piere Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 Hi everyone, After installed Bandlab on my cpu, must I be connected to internet (web) for using bandlab or I can use it without a web connection? can i create a musical score from a sheet of music using the notes or the notation system (such as eighth notes, quarter notes, etc), do we have in the views access to a sheet of music like I did when using Sonar 8 producer?

scook Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 Just a few product names for clarification BandLab is a web-based DAW Cakewalk by BandLab (CbB) is a Windows-based DAW developed from the SONAR Platinum source code. BandLab Assistant (BA) is a tool to launch BandLab, install/update/activate CbB and a loop librarian BA requires an internet connection to install and update CbB. BA can activate CbB directly while connected to the internet or remotely running from another machine with an internet connection. For more on using BA to install CbB see http://www.cakewalk.com/Documentation?product=Cakewalk&language=3&help=Introduction.30.html#1521945 CbB installs like an upgrade to 64bit SONAR. IOW, after installing CbB, both SONAR and CbB are available. Shared folders are updated to the CbB versions which are compatible with 64bit SONAR. All content bundled with 64bit SONAR is available in CbB. CbB must be reactivated every 6 months. Reactivation happens automatically when CbB is updated. The program is updated every couple of months. CbB does not need an internet connection to run. CbB has a staff view much like SONAR 8 as it is based on the last of the SONAR series.

Gros Piere Posted July 14, 2020 Author Share Posted July 14, 2020 (edited) Thank's a lot. You really turn on my brain. I'll try it. Specially if it's free, I bought my last version Sonar 8 producer many years ago and I thought at that time it was expensive but I really need it at that time. Sometime I use Cakewalk Sonar to write a song fron a music sheet or sometime I create some tune using the notation system. I have another question, do I must uninstall my Sonar 8 producer to install Cakewalk Bandlab? (sorry for my bad english, I'm francophone) Edited July 14, 2020 by Gros Piere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scook Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 You should have 64bit SONAR 8 installed and leave it installed. CbB can use the plug-ins and other content bundled with 64bit SONAR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gros Piere Posted July 14, 2020 Author Share Posted July 14, 2020 I know my cpy is 64bit, but I don't remember if It's installed 64bit or 32bit, I don't know where to find it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scook Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 Since 64bit SONAR is installed all you need is to connect the PC to the internet and follow these instructions http://www.cakewalk.com/Documentation?product=Cakewalk&language=3&help=Introduction.30.html#1521945 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
