That was quick! And something I had totally forgotten about. I actually have the old forum page up discussing the registry hack to have it not require permissions. Maybe if I can do that I can get it to run through the dxishell in some other DAWs as well.

Recently I tried to create a track with Pentagon I in CWBL. It gave me some odd message saying something like it was not installed properly. I pulled out my X3 installer and reinstalled that plugin but ended up with the same message. Of course, it works fine in Sonar Platinum. Any Idea why it works fine there but not in Cakewalk by Bandlab?

I installed this and wondered why half the patches were missing samples, until I saw there was a second part to download.

Maybe he thinks he has all the drums he needs.

I'm looking forward to checking out those new Kontakt libraries.

Wasn't Kinetic Treats a holiday giveaway a few years ago?

Me too. Unfortunately a. Pentagon is DXi only. b. Has a few glitches c. For some reason it just has not been working for me lately. Perhaps I need to dig up one of my old installers.

Nice. How long will it last?

I'm not sure I want it for drums, but from the video it sounds pretty good for guitar and piano.

Cakewalk never had that many of the cool kids in their corner either. The next big thing never seemed to be using Cakewalk products. They had to trot out guys like someone who won a Grammy for Best Native American Album, or the guy who won season 1 of "The Voice".

Thanks to this thread, I decided to re-audition a couple of the Sonitus effects. First the delay... fine, has a few nice features but nothing spectacular. Second the Modulation... It held up a bit better than I remembered. The reverb also sounded decent. The EQ I had used a fair amount (it used to be embedded in the tracks before they came out with the Pro Channel, starting at Sonar 3 or so) The compressor I was not impressed with. I had a clip of acoustic guitar which I had recorded from my soundhole pickup into my Komplete Audio 6 instrument input. As recorded, it was quieter than I wanted, thin, and didn't have a consistent volume. My first thought was to try a compressor on it. I have a few, and was going through my list to see what sounded best. Most helped to varying degrees, except for the Sonitus one. It just made the guitar sound thinner and screechier. For the most part, though, I gave up on Sonitus around the time that the Kjaerhus classic line came out.

I've never used Mixbus, but the impression I got was that most people don't like to track or edit in it, but really like it for mixing and mastering.

I wouldn't mind if they included installers for some of the legacy Cakewalk products. I understand this could get complicated when it comes to licenced content included with older versions of Sonar, but for standalone products like Z3ta or Rapture is seems to be the sort of thing they will need to do anyway if they want to market these.

I crossgraded to Studio One as well. CW works better for me for most of my compositional needs, although SOP is loaded with a lot of cool features too. One that I think would be a good candidate for CW to steal is the scratch pads. It's a great tool for working out arrangements.

Me too. Also waiting for Motown and Stax drummers, as well as Bill Bruford.

No, what I was thinking of was VST Persist Compatibility (VPC), which would have been an extension to VST3 standard, etc... http://forum.cakewalk.com/VST-Persist-Compatibility-VPC-m3408323.aspx# Supposedly this is something that both Logic and Reaper handle.

I've been able to program both GR5 and Amplitube to scroll through adjacent patches.

Any announcements re Cakewalk?

That's the one I would have suggested.

Peavey Revalver has a free version as well.

I have a lot of projects with instances of Kontakt 5 loaded (and a few with K4). Over the summer I will probably take advantage of the sale on Komplete upgrades and will find myself with Kontakt 6. I remember hearing something about a feature that would let you replace older versions of a plugin with newer versions. Did anything ever come of that, because it might be nice if I could effortlessly replace the K5 instances with instances of K6.

Really? I saw they were giving Carbon as part of their new freebie product Komplete Start, but I thought it was a Reaktor Player ensemble.

I would much rather Bandlab allocate their resources to any of a hundred other things first.
