Pathfinder

I think the price IS VERY IMPORTANT. ANYTHING you buy you look at the price. We all make our own choices. My choice is NO SUBSCRIPTION. Guess it's different if you are making $$$ using a daw, I am not. So if I cannot BUY a Sonar license like it used to be , I will sadly move on. ? I also have Studio One and Reaper. As stated before, since my memory sucks I have to relearn whatever I use anyway. Ok this is getting old for me because it seems obvious to me that nothing will change in the foreseeable future.

Good Question....Sweetwater is my go to store for decades............I am guessing right now no one knows the answer to that,,,,

I seriously doubt that is the case. Just my opinion of course. It's like you pay to try it out and when they come up with a price you pay again. Now, I have said many times, I am READY to pay (NOT for ANY type of subscription). IMHO, the subscription BS to use Sonar now is just another way to GET $$$$. Yes I said that! Why? Well they state it's NOT a beta-then come up with a price. Period! I also have been getting familiar again with Reaper and since I forgot most of what I know I can buy another DAW product and really nothing lost for me. Does make me sad though-after32+ years!

OP-I feel your pain-Trust me on this!

John, with all due respect, and I mean you do deserve respect, possibly you and a few others were\are trying to help. NOT ALL. Yes I take it personally. Probably because I do have some "serious health issues" and it makes me mad and defensive. Many times I have mentioned I have been using CW since early late 80's\90's. I knew more then than I can remember now. I did say, I believe more than once that I was signed in everywhere possible. No one seemed to take that into consideration-well your last post did.

You did everything but call names. I clearly stated I was SIGNED IN. but you chose to ignore that and keep having what you consider "fun" I guess. I tried to show I have some "memory issues" due to many things which I will not list, although I did give a hint to one of them. You chose to ignore all that. Kind of reminds me of the time Kanya West told everyone to stand at a concert before he would sing again. One person didn't. Of course, Kanya, being who he is, ragged on the guy. But then he found out the guy was in a wheel chair. (no I am NOT in a wheel chair, but.....................................................

OK since I am leaving anyway I have to say, I was signed in MORON that's part of the point-JEEEEZZz the arrogance is unreal!

I explained what happened but I guess your just so intelligent it's below you to understand. Couldn't be easier to go away either instead of just kicking a man when he's down-thanks pal This does it for me-I don't need this level of heartless Bs

No see my previous post

No John, I did NoT ignore it. I thought I activated it when prompted-thru the web and thru the bandlab assistant app. I guess what I was doing inadvertently covered\hid the warning box. But hey, what do I know.

I never had the chance until it was too late. But I guess I am not explaining that part correctly. Once again, my fault. What's the use, obviously what happened is coming across correctly-. So to have bothered anyone. Doubt I will return so you can all rejoice since NONE of your replies were an answer to the issue or actually understood the issue.

It was too late. The activation dialog was hidden before I realized. Nope. I am using the same CWbyBL I have been using-period.

So why is this a big fricken joke for everyone. I guess I'll have to apologize for the multiple diseases\ailments I have, many that affect my memory among many other things. Gosh I am so sorry I have these. I mean I didn't buy them or anything They came to me free. I truly hope they never visit any of you! Never felt the urge to share stuff like this with a forum but now I do. Hopefully I can get by without the forum going forward. I sure will try. And YES Heathrow, I use to love the CW forums, way back when Glennbo, Susan and others were around. Hey maybe you guys can come up with a song, maybe name it "Way Too Much META and MYELO". Might be a hit! I can give you some other catchy ideas for titles, no problem. Just let me know. I have plenty! Thanks so much for nothing!

Why would I keep it to myself if I tried everything I knew and could not get it activated? That I truly do NOT understand John. Excuse the hell out of me for not being as a CW genius..................Used to love the CW forums. Used to............... ?

Yes, so? What's your point? I tried and tried multiple times top activate it.

Free or not should not be this difficult-YES I finally got it sorted out. Just shouldn't be this way! Like many others I have been paying since the 90's..............

Cann0ot believe no one knows. Oh well, back to reaper I guess!

Yes I remember seeing posts about activation issues but since it never happen to me I never paid attention. So did a whole bunch of work in a project and cannot activate. I have logged in and out multiple times on the web and also in the bandlab app etc etc. Finally just closed CW and lost everything. Still not activated?

Nope. It worked pretty well for over a year in the jungle as a an Airborne Pathfinder. I was very good at my job-thanks! Also something very close to my heart and not funny to me!

Thanks-Just curious about it. Wouldn't mind a non functional peek for now

So, I guess John V was serious about SHH don't tell anyone???????????????????????????????????????????

OK-I do not see any download area for Sonar? I am sure it's there considering this thread but WHERE? Thanks

My Sound canvas works great with a simple Roland UM 1 midi cable-yes din connector, not a big deal for me. But I am a midi guy from the 90's.. I would never use the sounds from TTS-1 or my sound canvas in an actual finished project..

Been using CW with Kontakt forever. Been on 7 since it came out. No issues at all. It's not CW obviously! Just sayin. If it's YOUR system, why would you expect a difference in Sonar? I hope you get it worked out!

The CM-5 also supposedly is\was marketed as C12\ELAM251 clone. You are correct-tony Joe white song was just an example of songs I sing. since Tony jowe White sings very low where bob seger sings kind of high and so does CCR. But I do know I was very happy with the CM-5, just made a bad move selling it. Especially since I did not need the $$$. I did buy some mics from Sweetwater a while back and return them. I have had a Sweetwater Plat card since 2002. Last one I tried was the Shure SM7b. To me it was a nothing mic and my Shure SM58beta sounded much better on my vocals. Tried, as mentioned the Mohave MA-200. Sent it back. all the time I still had the CM-5. The only one I saw on reverb\Ebay was for $500 plus shipping and tax. I sold mine locally for $150---dumb, dumb, dumb. I was looking at the warm audio wa-47 for a while. Still on my list. I have tried the neuman 102 and 103-did not like them Anyway, still the only mic BESIDES, believe it or not, that I liked besides my CM-5 is my trusty SM58b. I like how a tube mic reacts and duplicates my voice in a recording. Plain and simple!. why? Who knows. I appreciate all the input. If I could afford it I believe I would buy Telefunken ELA M 251E Large-diaphragm Tube Condenser Microphone but $12,000 is way out of my range. I have looked at the cheaper ones in the $1,500 range. Still looking!
