Chernobyl Studios Cakewalk Mixing Tutorial Cancelled Due to Bugs
Meng replied to Davydh's topic in Feedback Loop
Guys, I just noticed the thread is being locked, but stepping in here to give my two cents and hopefully a final word on this thread. Though in the history of the internet (or humanity!) there has never been a situation in which the words "Calm down" ever succeeded in calming things down ?, I just want to make an honest plea that we try and keep the forum friendly, because it could overshadow the importance of why threads like this are posted in the first place. --- The original comment from @Davydh was that this video was sad to see, and I 100% agree. Any time a user is disappointed by, or has experienced disappointment whilst using one of our products/platforms/services, no matter what the reason or cause, our fault or not - it's disappointing and I am personally sad to have been part of that in some way - even more so if we are personally responsible. I'm happy for people to disagree with my opinion, but hopefully being someone who is directly affected by it means it has some weight - I think it's worth going on record to say my thoughts are that there wasn't any negative intent from Scott at @ChernobylStudios - his video was one of passion, frustration and disappointment, but that's very different to actively trying to disparage the company out of ill intent. I want to go on record too to stress that in all the communication I have seen from Scott with us (as BandLab), he has consistently been passionate, respectful, detailed and always wanting to make things better with suggestions that would benefit all users, not just himself. Since our relaunch, as he correctly pointed out, we have not had yet a policy in which we could compensate creators like himself - he spoke in his livestream of truly loving Cakewalk, caring about it and wanting it to succeed, and I think the proof is in the pudding in the videos he had personally spent the time creating (uncompensated) over the last 12 months since we took over. I sincerely doubt he would actively spend hours of his own personal time creating content that helps people all around the world with a sinister motive down the road. For what he has contributed positively to the CbB community around the world, I don't think it is controversial at all to say that I am grateful and appreciative. Do I wish the cancellation video & subsequent livestream wasn't public? Of course! As someone within the company, the only thing I'd love to see out there is flowers and rainbows (and I am thankful for all of you who have been part of this, spreading the word positively across the internet), but I'm equally a firm believer that every user should be entitled to voice his/her opinion and thoughts in the same way we can do anywhere else on the internet - praise always makes one happier, but criticism is more often than not what makes us better. --- To be clear, the facts of the matter are that he seems to have had a serious issue with VST settings not saving and resetting whilst using CbB and this is a real dealbreaker for us. This is incredibly concerning, and unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on how you look at your glass) we, and our extended testing team, have not been able to reproduce this on any of our devices/tests/attempts to do so. From what he described in his video, it sounds like it is not to do with VST2->VST3 persistence, so if it is really the case that something within our code is causing VST settings not to save, this is a big deal and I want to stress to everyone here that this isn't something we take lightly. We are doing everything we can to figure this out and address it as we do with every serious bug report. As per @Morten Saether's post above, this post is also an active call for anyone who has experienced this before and can replicate it to get in touch so that we can try and figure out what is causing it and ensure it doesn't happen again to any other user. --- Finally, it's also important for me to emphasise that just because CbB is free does not mean we take things less seriously or that you should expect any less from us. The way the team lives, breathes and is set up is as if it were a $1000 product that people paid for. My point of view is that anybody who uses a professional product is investing their own personal time, and frankly for a product like a DAW, the time they spend on it is ultimately worth far more than how would have paid for it outright if it was a $400 boxed product - this is a responsibility we take seriously and we are always trying to figure out ways we can support the CbB users better now it has grown so much larger than it was before. Thank you again to everybody for your support and for caring enough about CbB to speak up and to continue to be part of this community. We continue to do everything we can to make the product better - feedback from you guys is why this forum (and CbB itself) exists in the first place. How I wish we could get things done faster. If only there were more than 24 hours in the day! Yours, Meng- 60 replies

Meng replied to Gswitz's topic in Cakewalk by BandLab
Nothing hacked ? it was a setting we were testing on another site of ours that unexpectedly applied itself on all sites hosted with that infrastructure. -

Sorry about that everyone, we were doing some Ad Tech work on our other media sites and for some reason this proliferated across Discuss! Should be fully resolved now. -

Guys, this is not intentional, we'll figure this out ASAP - I'm getting it as well. -
[fixed]Old Cakewalk forum is down... Is it gone or is this a glitch?

Some internal server glitch - we're trying to figure out what happened... -

Hey guys, we're experiencing a really strange spam filter issue that has cropped up across a few google suite email addresses, we're looking into this as we speak. @Skyline_UK please feel free to p.m if something went wrong with that Help Centre link. @Chris Jones - 3 weeks to respond to you is absurd and not acceptable, thanks for mentioning it - we are making some improvements internally in the way the support team is set up to improve technical support as we get 1000s of tickets a week right now, so I apologise and hopefully this won't happen again.

@chamlin - nothing other than to say thank you for stopping by and glad you liked it! Hope to get a chance to meet you personally next year if you stop by again. ? But sharing some additional videos to check out too in case you guys are interested to learn more about the goings on around the group (as well as a cameo from Mike!):

BandLab App (android phone): latency issues
Meng replied to Wei Liang Yap's topic in The Coffee House
@yapweiliang - you can drop a note to support@bandlab.com - that will be the quickest way to get a technical support answer as they'll cross-check against known issues specific to your device. ? -
?????- sad to say it's not...

Found it! It was hidden in group settings. It actually wasn't a number of edits limit, it was a time limit within which you could have poster's regret. This has been changed now.

I don't know. It's not intentional. Let me figure out later whether it can be changed, I'm sure it can be lifted.

How do I provide feedback about this community itself?
Meng replied to Jesse Jost's topic in Frequently Asked Questions
@Kurre That's a great idea. Perhaps we should use the system of tagging instead of relying on more than one topic - I.e if there is no tag it's assumed to be a new user feature/idea - if there is a tag of "veteran" or something we think of that sounds better then it will be clearly visible. What do you think. -
