Most of the time 24 bit 44.1 or 16bit 44.1 Most people have a bottle neck on preamp quality, etc that high res above this is basically lost (even if the preamp, etc indicate they support high res). While I appreicate high res files and recording, the vast majority of the time clients can't hear the difference at all on their own playback systems, and by the time it is mixed down to a single stereo file (likley at 16 bit 44.1) it loses those things that made the high res sound different. I record high res also, but honestly is it usually just a waste of disc space. You will hear far more difference in the way audio is processed by various plugins and techniques than you will strictly based on the bit depth and sample frequency. Focus more on things that matter. How many people do you know that have a playback rig that even supports higher than 44.1 16bit? The only people I know that do are recording engineers also. Most musicians don't even have that. Unless they are a hyubrid musician and recording engineer, it seems pretty rare to see a rig that actually reveals the difference or limitations in the source.

You can give them funding via the tip jar https://www.bandlab.com/products/cakewalk/rewards I paid for Lifetime Updates for the Program when it was with Gibson, also very thankful they have invested in development and the fact they made it free is just amazing.

All Mixed and Mastered using Cakewalk by Bandlab (though these do not showcase the vast featureset of Cakewalk, much closer to old school tape recordings)

I purchased it in 2014, still no updates.

Pretty sure it has been at least 6 years since they released the Atlantis piano which was suposed to be the precursor for 2.0 releases. It is sad and frustrating they haven't done any development work in that amount of time. Especially with this language on the website: How frequently is TruePianos updated and improved ? On a regular basis. We constantly work to add more content and improve the engine. Nice small footprint and they run this kind of sale every year end it seems.

I'd like to know the same. Where are all the older Cakewalk install files going to be hosted? Many of the "standard" currently used products have not been ported to Bandlab (yet?) such as the Limiter, Multi-Band Compressor, LP EQ, etc. These are some of the most modern and relevant things they released so the question isn't just the "legacy" stuff. Will that be hosted here now, or still on the old Cakewalk interface and servers?
