Steven Warwick Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 Wondering if Bandlab would consider open sourcing "Cakewalk by Bandlab" once Cakewalk Sonar is released. I believe that there would be a lot of interest in having it maintained and continued effort on bug fixes and improvements 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1 Conteloto Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 (edited) Open source is not the same than free. Why open source and not just free without support? As a first step to its pro version I don't think Bandlab is going to "give " the app code to the "world" Edited March 23 by Conteloto 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMO: opinions of users in a forum are meaningless for an issue like this. I cannot imagine anything good for anyone coming out of open sourcing Cakewalk by Bandlab.

It’s basically the same code. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Jim Stamper Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 Who would provide all the free effort to maintain bug fixes, releases for Windows updates, and new features?? I wouldn't bet my DAW on it ("too good to be true") I've only stayed with it this long due to familiarity and a catalog of legacy projects ever since the DOS days. I often update old projects. I bought "lifetime support" (another too good to be true) after talking to Craig Anderton at a conference . I've been hanging on by a thread ever since Bandlab takeover (free ... another too good to be true, nice while it lasted) Each big Cakewalk transition gives me more gray hair 😥😂. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Bruno de Souza Lino Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 They can't because paid Sonar is not a brand new codebase, but rather the exact same codebase with some small changes here and there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
