LOL yeah dude, Noel answered him cLeAr aS dAy

I have opened several projects in sonar that I started in cakewalk. Had no issues... I am keeping cakewalk on my computer for the foreseeable future. I don’t see any reason to delete it just yet…both programs can coexist. I would rather be safe than sorry…. And it’s worth it for the peace of mind in my opinion.

I absolutely am! The workflow is outstanding! You guys are killin it! I hope you start getting the word out more. Updating social media sites ect..this DAW is fantastic! I just left a meeting this morning for a podcast I am doing the new theme song for with 3 other people .2 had pro logic and one had Protools. And all were super impressed with the workflow of my Sonar DAW. I think more people would jump ship form other DAW’s if they knew how good the workflow is…

fantastic!!!!

thats great to hear!!!!

fantastic!!! i hope this will be addressed in a future update!

The vertical grid lines is definitely a thing they should update sooner than later....i am surprised that more people have not mentioned it. it makes editing a bit more challenging in my opinion

I am also a steady cakewalk user. I went to school for audio and was taught on Protools..but I switched to cakewalk because in my opinion the work flow is so much more intuitive. Having said that, Sonar is vastly superior to cakewalk. They are really paying attention to the small details… something as small as having start and end markers…things overall just work smoother…. that’s why I have great faith in the direction of Sonar…it’s helping me forget about how Gibson handled it… my only criticism Is the look. But I am hopeful that will also improve. It’s more important right now to dial in the DAW, which they are doing exceptionally well. Take the leap my friend. You will not be disappointed!

I respectfully disagree. I find cakewalk to be extremely intuitive. I have a degree in audio, and I was taught on ProTools. I was tired of the constant updates and increased pricing…that’s why I flipped. I have found Cakewalk to be very solid and extremely stable. My only complaint with the new Sonar is the look. I personally prefer the look of something like Luna. but the cakewalk/sonar workflow in my opinion is hands down the best…for what I do at least. Everyone who uses a DAW has different needs..so I guess, go with what works…

That’s a drag that it doesn’t work the way you need it. It works great for my needs. When I am working with different artist at the end of the session, I can just upload it to bandlab and just send them the invite and they can obsess over the session in the car ride home.LOL they also can then open the session as a stereo file and add ideas that I can just open back up in sonar. I upload my albums for streaming services through distrokid. I don’t use the bandlab service for that. But you are correct. You do have to sign up and give your personal info.

do you have the "Follow host" tab selected?

i can say it runs very smooth as well and i am loving the work flow and all the new stuff they have added...still not diggin the look.. in the long run, i would rather they put all the efforts into making it work the best it can, and then hopfully working on making it look a bit better...my opinion of course.

i had the same issue...and i drove me insane for 2 days...i contacted SSL and they told me to uninstall...I uninstalled and reinstalled. But you can’t use the SSL download mgr. I tried that. I have a program called Glary Utilities and I uninstalled from that. Then I restarted my computer and reinstalled the plug ins..and everything was fine.

its a game changer! one of the BEST features for sure! I have turned so many people on to bandLab I might need a commission. LOL it’s a crime that more people don’t know about this.

i actuall dont mind paying for it, but the looks of it are just killing me! i am not into the 2D vibe at all. i have checked out Luna, and Harrison.. i still like the workflow in sonar, but i wont pay for it if i am not diggin the way it looks. i know its about making music, but if i have to stare at something for 12+ hours sometimes, i need to be a little inspired.
