User 905133 Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 (edited) Before any well-intentioned DAW users try to help someone that on the surface seems to be asking for help, please read this thread after it was used to vent following two-years of being an inactive thread: Notice the negative mindset used to "bump" the ancient thread which up until that point consisted of respectful replies. Notice also how the off-topic rant wandered to other complaints. As the Topic clearly states, the thread was about the Control Bar. I have often been guilty of offering help others, but after a number of threads from hostile posters, I came to realize that trying to help those who are really just venting disrespects the decision of those who just want to stop using Cakewalk and just want to vent. Far be it from me to tell others to stop engaging what some might call trolls. But before you try to help any more "Enough-is-enough; I'm-done with-Cakewalk" soon-to-be-ex-users, I would just like to encourage you to help users who really want help. On the surface, the post here is phrased to be a request for help. If you scratch the surface, you might agree that it is little more than thinly veiled venting. 1 hour ago, Bud Brown said: so what is a better software? I am ready to dump cakewalk and the issues. . . . so I could use some suggestions to move beyond this mess... Reaper perhaps... or something else... this "upgrade" I just went through is a complete waste of time and is causing me to hate trying to create music.... [emphasis added] @Bud Brown There are a number of users who have (and use) several different DAWs, sometimes using them to fulfill different functions in their workflow. However, it is abundantly clear that the reasons for your posts (the older thread and this one) is to proclaim to as many people who will listen you are done with Cakewalk. You don't really need to subject yourself and others to all the drama. BTW, I doubt most Cakewalk users will bear ill feelings towards you if you choose to use other music-making tools. I hope you find happiness with whatever music-making tools you choose to use if you continue to make music.

Byron Dickens Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 This is exactly why threads should be locked after a certain length of time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Baay Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 @Bud Brown Please share a copy of an offending project in the thread you started previously and steps to reproduce your issues. I am fairly confident they are largely or completely procedural. And if not, I'd like to be able to report them formally to the Bakers to be fixed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I vote "NO" to locked threads! When we whiners wanna whine just get out of our way and let us whine dammit! Most of us here can't afford therapy. This is as close as we get. ? 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
