Reading this thread might help convince you about Cakewalk by BandLab. https://discuss.cakewalk.com/index.php?/topic/6018-still-using-sonar/

Lookup pg 379 and onwards in the Reference Guide. There are settings allowing how strictly CbB snaps to grid. Magnetic is a keyword search that will help you. There are many Snap settings not just On or Off

Half a lifetime ago I was burgled, replaced all my equipment 6 weeks later and was burgled again. Apparently that’s a thing. Burgle again after insurance has paid out and/or equipment replaced. All the measures I undertook to secure the house I was renting were to no avail. Deadlocks and bolts on all doors and windows. It looked like they just smashed the door in with a sledge hammer. The stile with dead bolts and locks was just hanging on the door frame. Lots of lessons learned. I feel for you Keni, it’s a gut wrenching time. Hearing someone else suffer the same stirs up all those feelings again. Same happened a few years back when Bitflipper was burgled. It’s sickening. A real violation. It really makes you grateful for what you have. All the best to you Keni.

A matter of taste really. Why don’t you demo it. You can download a free trial. I have both, but prefer ProChannel because it’s convenient, built right in and the various FX are more than serviceable. Above all I’m used to it and how it sounds. Also there were a few plugins that extended the functionality of the ProChannel. There’s nothing wrong with Scheps, but it is a little heavier in CPU usage. A general principle I rely on when using channel strips is to not mix and match. Of course thats a hangover from the analog days where the console you had dictated your channel strip. In the digital era I guess there’s only guiding principles. You can do anything you want. Whether it sounds good or works well is another question. I bought the Waves Mercury bundle quite a few years ago now and all the Scheps plugins were included along with updates. I probably wouldn’t have bought a seperate channel strip, already having ProChannel.

Maybe the instructor’s strange. Not you. ?

If you’re talking to me. I Only have the version I made. Check the file date. edit: actually I last updated it with some info I got last year.

Try this spreadsheet. Sonar Plugins Sonar 3 to Platinum.xlsx

My wife ate it. I know because I went to get it and it was gone. Strawberry & Rhubarb dribbling down chin was a give away.

True dat.

Hey Jesse, why not post in the 2019.11 feedback thread where your comments would get proper attention. https://discuss.cakewalk.com/index.php?/topic/8791-201911-feedback/ I think there were changes to WorkSpaces that might effect projects made in previous versions. Maybe? Check the info on the new update available in 2019.11 thread

I wonder if people can really do critical listening on uploaded audio and determine that samples used are of a lesser quality. Poor arrangements and bad recording techniques could be picked up from compressed audio but I reckon that’s the best Ctenophora of it.

It’s a very large, double sided CD with one long groove on each side. My description, many years ago, to a 10 year old who fit your description as I was showing him a “record player” at a HiFi show.

Jim Rosebery does this for a living. He provides a paid for service where he will spec a PC for you to purchase the components and assemble yourself. I’ve used the service myself and its well worth the small fee. Used to be US$40/half hour. I told him my budget and he provided a list of component choices (that his company has tested for compatibility) with links to where I could buy them. I’m in Australia so I got mine locally but knowing the components were tried and tested gave me all the confidence I needed to make my choices.

Thanks very much Steve. I appreciated how you continue to update your app’s.

Wow. I didn’t even know that Waves were up to V11.

In Australia and having similar internet joy.

How long is a Coffee House? No it isn’t.

50 hey! What do youngsters get up to on their birthday?

So creative and clever. I’ve not seen this before. I love it.

CM?

After they’ve done the transfer as they offered (do one file per track) you can line up all the files in CbB.

Folks have been asking and making suggestions on this front for years and years and nada.

There were people? Oh! You mean in your picture. Mm Everything’s still moving. Wooooo

I have many many DAWs for compatibilities sake for clients. Having now retired though that’s no longer necessary however. None were bought in case Cakewalk doesn’t make it. I did however buy Cubase 9 ( or 9.5, I forget which) when Steinberg made an attractive cross grade offer at the time Gibson dumped Sonar. It was an opportunity to get a DAW I had thought was too expensive up to that time. While there are some features I would love Cakewalk to adopt from others, there are none that important that their being absent in CbB, push it to second place for most of the work I do now. Occasionally, I try using other DAWs to start a project but none feel as comfortable or familiar as CbB. Anytime a musical idea comes to the fore it’s CbB I load up to give substance to my creativity.

I’m pretty sure that cloning a drive will not circumvent the need to contact the server every 6 months. I just think this would have been big news in a lot of computing areas and we would have heard about it. HOWEVER: If it was me that was so concerned I would conduct an experiment. 1. Create a cloned Drive making sure to record the date. 2. 6 months and 1or more day/s from that date, restore your system with the cloned drive and see if CbB goes into Demo mode. Of course make a backup so you can flip back to your “current” system at that time. 3. Report back here to tell us the wonderful or not wonderful news.
