Splitting a clip using 's' shortcut with automatic crossfades enabled only partially selects the chosen side.

[Regression] Hidden buses are unhidden on project load.

Buses are not hidden properly in UI in Track view.

Activation Changes

All Cakewalk products require activation. Changes to the activation server require that all earlier versions of Cakewalk by BandLab (CbB) must be updated to version 2023.09 in order to activate successfully. Earlier versions will cease to activate in the future.

BandLab Assistant is no longer used for installing or activating CbB or other Cakewalk products. You must use in-app activation as described below. You can continue to use BandLab Assistant, but not for Cakewalk products.

In order to activate CbB, you must sign in to your BandLab account by choosing Help > Sign In to BandLab. When the sign-in web page opens, enter your BandLab credentials to sign in from there. If activation was successful, you will receive a 'Cakewalk is fully activated' confirmation message.

Note: Opening a web browser to independently sign in to BandLab will not activate CbB.

Version 2023.09 currently does not support offline activation, so your computer must be online to activate it. Offline activation will be available soon.

In order to automatically keep your activation status up to date, CbB will renew your activation status whenever a new version of the application is installed and run for the first time, and when you sign in to BandLab from within CbB. If you have never signed in to BandLab from within CbB, you will be prompted once to sign in.

Think this will stop all the "hand wringing" upstairs and down?

DOUBT IT!

But rest assured, all of those whose sphincters are in a knot, Noel and the crew WILL NOT leave you "twisting in the wind".
The "NEW" SONAR will open all your existing .cwp files AND all your old .wrk files; (and all the "questions" ad nauseam you have raised).

I personally guarantee it!

As Howard Hughes, famously said, "If this goose don't fly I will leave this country and not return!"

Better yet, if  the "new" SONAR does not open all your existing .cwp files, I will personally refund the $200 or so you paid for it!*

There, that is all children, you can now return to your regularly scheduled programing...

t

*limited to the first ten who can demonstrate that a "working" cwp file will not  open in new SONAR

No mention of .bun files then, mate?

I thought it was going to be one of those offline activation's that require you to be online, you know the ones?

For the confused face lad, meaning the machine with CbB on it can be off line, but you have to have another online to achieve success.

I’m a few chapters behind in the ongoing Cakewalk odyssey. If I first utilized Cakewalk under the free Bandlab version, is this update still free?

Yes and no, 'cos it is now more like a trial! You are able to use it as long as they allow you to re-authorize (and they mentioned it will not be for long)!

Will this also be the case if I don’t do the update ?

If not updated, the activation may expire even earlier.

In any case, there is no need to worry until a paid version of Cakewalk Sonar is released.
