I've been using Cakewalk regularly for about 6 months. I've completed one album and am almost complete with another. About 2 weeks ago Cakewalk forced me to refresh my authorization. To do that I had to upgrade Cakewalk. I hadn't upgraded recently because it's a hassle, what I have is fine, and I don't care about their new features. But they forced me to do so. That's not so big a deal except their install wouldn't run on my computer. I tried and it gave me some file error. Then when I clicked through that it said I was out of disk space, which is ridiculous. I have around 100 GB of free space on my disk and other installs have worked recently. I contacted Cakewalk support and they sent me a link to the same install which I ran again and the same thing happened. I asked them about the error message (screenshot below) and they ignored my further emails. Today I was looking at my events list and all of my notes in my recently touched files have been moved back one tick. I never nudge my clips or notes and there's no way I accidentally nudge 5 different files. This is a big problem because when I use the Arranger to commit a new version of a song it cuts off the first note if it is one tick before the bar. I just tried a new upgrade/re-install 5 minutes ago and it gave me the same out of space error, but the install completed and I was able to open Cakewalk. I hope that will fix the one tick error, but it probably won't. I won't waste my time contacting Cakewalk support because they are ignoring me.
Is anybody else having a similar problem with install or events being nudged?
Do you have any other suggestions for my nightmare?
I may eventually have to bite the bullet and buy a better DAW, but Cakewalk has served me well up to this point.
