Whilst it may work, consider that you're not only running a virtual machine (which is having to emulate various bits of hardware),  that virtual machine is also having to emulate an Intel CPU... so performance is likely to be far inferior to a native M1 DAW or even an intel Mac DAW running via Rosetta 2.

Don't get me wrong, I think the M1 is a great machine, but I wouldn't set your performance expectations too high with this level of virtualization / emulation going on.

If you want to best experience with Cakewalk by Bandlab, get a true native Windows PC. 

You will likely regret getting an M1 Apple Macbook to run Cakewalk by Bandlab using Parallel Desktop.
