When I was younger I never would have believed my music would end up on MTV Sadly it's in the background on crappy reality TV shows 😆 ...who knew.

Brand doesn't matter that much as long as it does what you want. Have you checked out Framework? They do laptops that are modular and upgradable which is fairly unique.

Melodyne is a much better tool for the job.

Right click it on the taskbar and then select it

Seems fine here , I've not come across any patches that cause it to glitch. CPU use is on the higher side for sure . Some of the complex patches consume 20- 30% Engine load at 128 sample buffer playing 3 -5 notes ( Ryzen 5950x - 16core + RME Babyface )

Cakewalk Sonar is still pretty poor as far as legibility goes. I wish they'd just hire someone to fix it -I don't see this with other DAWs

No Cakewalk Column

Yeah should be a huge improvement but there were loads of reports of stability issues with that chip so maybe do some research to see if things have improved or look at something like a Ryzen 7950x

With a gaming PC you'll likely be spending over the odds because of the powerful GPU that you don't really need fow DAW use but can be the most expensive part of a gaming system. Better to buy from a music PC specialist or build your own ( it's not that hard and there are some great build guides out there like on Linus Tech Tips Youtube )

Humanise would be more useful, it's a giant omission in Cakewalk/Sonar's midi editing feature set in 2024 ( apart from using CAL )

Nice cover. Guitars sound really good. My only critique would be the vocals sound unsupported. You have a nice tone for this but it's a little uncomforatble to listen to as you sound like you're running out of breath.

I do remote sessions with singers for my production music songs and we've found the easiest way is via the Bandlab App on Desktop

I'm not really sure who it's aimed at ? I am guessing it was meant to be a bridge between the BandLab App and Cakewalk Sonar ?

I don't know music theory, but my music's been in over 1,000 TV episodes.
