I redeemed a VST package from Steinberg, that force installed the Steinberg ASIO drivers..... Upon next time opening Sonar (paid version, and latest) then the whole interface is just hanging and the cursor is just spinning..... Seriously guys..... I have defended and up talked you guys for years, now i'm starting to regret it I did not change my default driver, either should you! And even if you do (just by yourself) at least handle it better!!!

I love everything about Cakewalk besides the sucky performance, i am back if they can sort that out Reaper at least performs well, even though it looks a bit weird

I've been a user of Cakewalk for many years and i have been defending it as the best DAW around...... sadly this is not true anymore I bought a new audio interface (Focusrite Scarlett 4i4 3rd Gen) and recently built a monster PC that should last me a couple of years..... I fired up Cakewalk just to realize that the performance was still sluggish ? Lowered sample/buffer size, tried to find the golden spot, but it's no way to get a good performance using VSTs. Sure it works fine recording without any active VSTs but that's not always what you want to do! So I decided to try out Reaper, to see if this is an issue with other DAWs as well...... Well it's not! I went all the way down to 128 samples, have no noticeable latency and i can run loads of VSTs without any audio dropouts or crackling! ? So for now, until the obvious performance issues are dealt with, Cakewalk is a no go! Finally i can go back to having fun with making music not fight buggy software
