Starship Krupa Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 (edited) I found out when trying to vote for Cakewalk by BandLab as my favorite audio software of 2020 at KVR that KVR doesn't have an entry for for Cakewalk. Instead it lists "SONAR Platinum by BandLab" at a price of $499. It looks like the site was updated after the announcement almost 3 years ago and not since. In order to update the information and allow CbB users to do things like vote in the polls, I'd like to see the information updated. In order to do it, someone who represents BandLab must claim the account and then enter the correct product information. BandLab might also consider it desirable to enter the other BandLab DAW's as well. It's free advertising and promotion.

Starship Krupa Posted October 21, 2020 Author Share Posted October 21, 2020 I want to bump this because I think it's important. Here's what I can vote for if I want to say CbB is my favorite audio program, same if I wanted to write a review for the KVR database (I put in Break Tweaker instead): @Jesse Jost, does BandLab have someone who handles this kind of thing? I've been working on a Wikipedia entry for CbB, but this takes an official representative of the developer. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noel Borthwick Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 I've reactivated the KVR page and updated some of the information. We'll post regular updates there going forward. 4 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe we could enlist one of those "it's not really free because you have to register on their website using a valid email address" people who show up here from time to time to make their case with KVR.

Glenn Stanton Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 i was able to vote - you need to use the search field below each topic. then select from the list. if you use "Cakewalk" then Cakewalk by Bandlab comes out first on the list... you do need to sign into KVR to vote... 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It didn't say may not be voted for. ? Besides, CbB''s not really freeware. ? Seriously, should people not vote for Acon Digital Multiply or any of their other beloved loss-leader freebies from companies that use them to market their payware products? I get that KVR need advertising to support what they do, but it reduces the credibility of their poll if it's not open to all products. Ghettoizing freeware just perpetuates the unwarranted stigma against free licensed software. Edited October 24, 2020 by Starship Krupa 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that it has been done maybe you could change the title to "Cakewalk and BandLab at KVR - Please vote!" I just wrote a review?. Curious to see how the KVR listing will develop... 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
