These are just suggested specs. FWIW, I recorded 16 simultaneous tracks in Next while playing back an existing 32 tracks on a 2.0Ghz / 4 core Intel Celeron J4125 with 8GB of RAM... and this was to

The UI is being updated to use vector graphics so it can be scalable and DPI aware. The button icons will likely be updated but will all be in the same place as before, so there should be zero changes

Honestly, I'd pay for it as is. But I sure hope they didn't break it to make it look and act like everything else.  The only thing that I find that's even close for my work flow is Cubase.  Even

A watched kettle will boil eventually, but instead of watching it boil you could be making music.  ? 

Who says we're not?!  I've done 2 projects since June 6.

Maybe once a day or a few times a week for me.  You know the expression  "A watched pot never boils".

Hats off if the Bakers have managed to create a fully scalable, vector-based GUI that looks pretty much like CbB. I remember that Ben Staton in a post three years ago mentioned that a revision of the GUI was about to begin late 2020, so there have definitely been a major code rewrite going on.

I think I understand the enormity of the undertaking that Cakewalk is implementing with this change. So if I do understand it correctly, SONAR will look the same as CbB does now but the graphic elements will have greater flexibility in how they can be manipulated behind the scenes, opening up greater options in the future.

Surely there will be new features to see and play with, otherwise there is no perceived upgrade. Or have I misunderstood completely?

There will definitely be new features, and a fair few have already been baked. How many more we'll be able to implement before release is limited by the effort taken in the new UI work.

I wonder what the Theme Editor will be like... I would imagine it needs a major overhaul as well, if they're gone from raster to vector graphics.

There's a strong possibility that full Theme Editing won't be available in the first release, as it won't be an overhaul - it'll be a complete rewrite.

Note with respect to NEXT it will need minimum a processor with 8-core CPU

https://www.cakewalk.com/next

So i think systems will need Core i7 / Ryzen 7 to use CAKEWALK NEXT? I imagine that cuts down the userbase numbers, many who would use older systems? I didnt bother signing up for the beta access because of that - All my systems are Core i5

Yeah, one would imagine that, if the graphics now are SVG or suh scalable vector thingies...

Core i5 on my testing machine here too. I have another, i7 production machine, but I don't do tests there.

 

______________________________

EDIT: just realized that "i5" probably doesn't say much about the speed of a CPU ?

my i5 is the 3340M (up to 4x 3.40GHz, base speed is 2.70), and my i7 is the 6700 (max 8x 4.00GHz.. base 3.40)

What i5?

I got the bit faster cpu 4x 2,70GHz, not the typical slower one which is around 2,50GHz (still fine imo)... it's working like a breeze, man :D

but I don't do any gaming

My eyes are seeing "Suggested Specs" not "Minimum Requirements." In my personal experience, SONAR/Cakewalk has traditionally worked with less than what is usually suggested.  Of course, in the past, with less than that, users may not be able to "push the limits," but in my experience the software's features do work with less than what has been suggested.

I am not going to jump to another DAW just because I do not have the suggested specs.

Just a tad slow , is that flat out 2.7 or will it run faster?

There are peeps running on that spec.

it's i5-3340M.. if you're asking about hyperthreading or anything along that lines then I'm not inclined enough to tell ? but it's a great cheap 2nd hand Latitue laptop and for me, for any non-gaming tasks, it's doing a fine job and as for music software, I can run almost everything except probably the most demanding ones, that I don't use anyway
