Where's the FreeBSD version of Cakewalk? I think the 4.93% might be Temple OS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeremy Bowden Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 It's easy enough to run cakewalk in Linux via bottles along with any windows plugins and VSTs. Personally I've taken a liking to Ardour as it has a lot more capabilities than cakewalk and is free and open source. There are also many Linux plugins as they seem to be booming after the release of windows 11 bloatware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeremy Bowden Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 Not rubbish at all, just personal preference. Saying the words "Absolute rubbish" with no reasoning why, gives me the "I know nothing about music production" vibes. I will always like Cakewalk but can see that Ardour is on both windows and Linux. While you can get a version of cakewalk free, you still get Ardour free. Due to it being open source, if you really want to geek out, you can change the program as you see fit. I prefer the software as is but am curious about the Lua scripting as that can make productivity much faster and easier. As for windows 11, I'm not really worried about spyware as I have nothing to hide, it's really due to al the bloatware and background processes that annoy me as it makes it feel clunky in comparison. On boot, my system hits around 800MB and idles around 250MB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ardour is a toy compared to CW. Whatever. Your comments demonstrate that you have no idea what CW is capable of. I have been using cakewalk since we'll before it's name change. Being open source means it has an uncountable amount of sound engineers on the job as it can also be used across multiple operating systems and be modified completely by the user themselves if wanted unlike Cakewalk. Scripting built in can also benefit to personalise it's functionality. You don't give much of an argument but is understandable for some window users as it is an end user OS. If you want, we could both make a comprehensive list of the features in each DAW? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
