This thread has done as so many threads do. Oh look a rabbit hole.

@Starship Krupa if you can't see what I mean, I doubt even a reply as long as yours will never get you to.

@Starship Krupa I disagree, the problem is people want something for nothing. Because software was "crackable" in the early days, people crack it to day. If software companies had enforced licenses and prosecuted more thieves then the problem might not be as bad.

@Amberwolf to clarify, to keep using the program at its latest version I have to subscribe. I am fully aware the old versions still works, it feels a little like you are spilting hairs. Perhaps check my significant to see my machines spec. Though if your on a phone or tablet you may not see 8t.

@rusty woodburn which synths?

@T Boog PreSonus offer a perpetual license, but they now offer a subscription as well, which offers more than the perpetual licence. Steinberg have been talking about one. Roland Cloud, UVI, all are better deals for holding a subscription with them. Would I like a perpetual licence for Cakewalk, yes I had one from 1992 until 2017 when Gibson dropped their little bomb. Now to keep using the program I liked for the last 32 years, a subscription is my only choice.

Prior to Bandlab I spent around £2,800.00 on upgrades. Probably another £500.00 on addons, like the Linear phase multiband compressor, linear phase EQ, Adaptive Limiter, the Brickwall limiter, Z3ta + 2, Rapture Pro. Along with a few Pro Channel modules. The first upgrade though was outrageous from Cakewalk Apprentice to the full version was a staggering £5.00. 🤔

But only as a 32 bit program, SONAR 5 was the first true 64 bit version.

You may hate subscriptions but it is the way of the software world going forward. All software developers have mortgages, mouths to feed. Subscriptions are the result of pirates and stolen software. So many complain about paying for software, but how would you feel if every now and then you found 75% of your wages had been stopped because theives had stolen product from your employer, leaving him unable to pay your wages, because he had bills to pay.

Try the video on a 43" 4K monitor, eh what where am I Oops. Nice stuff.

@MichaelJohn do you get a reason why it won't open? there is no good reason unless it has 32 bit DX or other incompatible instruments or FX. Sounds pleasant.

Sounds like it could be based on a traditional groove, mix sounds good here.

The rewrite is in hand but at this moment that basically CbB & Sonar are so close as not to be different.

Thanks Xoo, possibly a little to much top, appreciate your ears and comments.

Thanks I was in a hurry to go out and see my partner.

If you see a post that you believe is direct selling, i.e. is being offered by its originator, report it don't do nothing and then moan. All the mods have lives and make music themselves, it is unfair to think we should spend 24/7 here to keep everyone happy.

@dubdisciple Cakewalk can handle loops it just does it a more traditional way. Years ago in the Pro Audio versions if you created a loop, unlike todays Cakewalk where you have to drag out copies, it would loop for the duration of the song without having multiple copies.

@Cobus Prinsloo when you solo a track you will still hear anything sharing the same buss as the buss is part of the chain. There are also different Solo modes. Solo, a mode that reduces the volume of all the tracks by a predetermined dB amount. I tried to search the reference guide, for a page fir you, but it was not playing nice.

@Cobus Prinsloo do they feed a common buss? Do they feed a common FX buss?

@Astraios no not quite LSB stands for Least Significant Byte, MSM Stands for Most Significant Byte. MIDI messages consist of two eight bit bytes.

@chamlin if you had CbB the Cakewalk tree is fixed, however as noted by @Andres Medina you can change some in Preferences > Files

To clarify, posting about DAW's who's basic workflow can be considered direct competition for Sonar, or Next is not permitted. Both Ableton and FL studio use a fundamentally different approach, and workflow, basically they are quite reliant looping, consequently they aren't considered a direct competitor.

Have you established how the NRPN entries are being generated? I have an issue with a couple of Arturia synths dropping Sysex messages when stopping recording MIDI.

Just like not everything is 4/4 not everything needs drums 😉

@Sock Monkey unfortunately they have the Google file limit size restriction you need to use , we transfer, or Google drive, Dropbox, box etc.
