christophe71 Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 Newbie here, Sonar X3 Producer used to be top of the line of cakewalk products back in the days. I have it on Steam. So I'm wondering is the new Bandlab far superior than everything in there or I should just stick to X3 Producer? Is there anything that the new Bandlab doesn't have in Producer version?

0 scook Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 Yes, CbB is much better than SONAR X3 Not in terms of content but in features and bug fixes. All of the content bundled installed SONAR X3 is available in CbB. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, perform a full install of SONAR X3, apply the patches to it then install CbB. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 scook Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 To be clear, content bundled with SONAR Platinum is not included with CbB but features and bug fixes added after X3 are part of the DAW. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 christophe71 Posted July 19, 2021 Author Share Posted July 19, 2021 oh i dont have sonar platinum, just Sonar X3 Producer(is that older? it was a 1 time purchase instead of subscription), maybe just crossover the plugins should be more than enough for newbie like me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 scook Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 CbB was created from SONAR Platinum code. Since that time the DAW has received numerous fixes and enhancements. CbB does not include many of the plug-ins and other content bundled with SONAR Platinum, however; it will take advantage of the plug-ins and content bundled with any 64bit versions of SONAR installed on the PC. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fun part is, you can install Cakewalk by Bandlab on top of Sonar X3 and have both X3 and CbB on your system. How about that sauce for you? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I'm wondering is the new Bandlab far superior than everything in there or I should just stick to X3 Producer?
