David Baay Posted September 14, 2023 Share Posted September 14, 2023 21 minutes ago, JohnnyV said: 1-The latest release is not the final version. It is an early access only. It is very doubtful that it introduces new bugs. It is actually the opposite. I think it's more important to point out that an EA is a candidate for final release, not a beta. As such, it should be quite solid and stable but it's always possible that a new feature has issues with a certain workflow or project configuration that was not encountered by the beta team or that some change introduced a regression in related functionality. I would therefore advise that EA users who encounter problems should review the list of fixes/features in the EA release post to see if there's anything there that seems even remotely related to the issue they're having. If the code that governs the functionality they're using hasn't been touched, it's highly unlikely the issue is new and specific to the EA release, and it should be reported in the generic Feedback thread instead of the EA release thread or - better yet - posed as an open question to the community to see if non-EA adopters can reproduce it. It's human nature to attribute "new" problems to recent changes, and being aware of correlations like that is an important part of troubleshooting, but you have to take care not to jump to conclusions. 4 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might weed out some of the crowd who are shocked and upset to hear that recording takes an actual expenditure of time, money and effort. Won't do anything about the crybabies with an entitlement mentality who are still sniveling about what they are "owed." They'd still bitch and moan if it was $1. Right. That will teach us---??????

Half a hour and you have them to start working. I'd love to hear about these free DAWs that can do what CbB can do. Tell me more. 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starship Krupa Posted September 15, 2023 Share Posted September 15, 2023 On 9/13/2023 at 6:54 PM, chris.r said: it all plays fine right until saved and reopen. Now I'm starting getting it that on saving, there is probably some part of the information missing hence the errors on reopening, some edits aren't saved correctly. Am I onto something here? Yes. The first thing to do with any program when you save something and then when you reopen it it's corrupted is to check the integrity of your disk. Drives eventually go bad physically, some sooner than others, and while it's much less common than it was 25 years ago, the file system can get corrupted, too. The way to check is to go to My Computer, then right click on the drive and select Properties. From there, click on the Tools tab. Also, Windows Defender is good at what it does (although I have issues with how it does it), but if I'm having any mystery troubles, I also like to run Malwarebytes Free. Try those first, see if they help. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I commented about the $499 teaching a lesson because I feel it wasn't , well a great comment. As far as myself, I, have paid for CW, not as long as many of you but I have bought and paid since early 90's thru PLAT and upgrading every single time, never missed one. So over 30 years and counting. Personally I am not worried about the cost but I do draw the line at subscriptions-That I will not do. I actually miss the old days with Glennbo, Susan and many others!

Conteloto Posted September 15, 2023 Share Posted September 15, 2023 I am not talking about "lite" versions, for example Magix , this one https://www.magix.com/us/music-editing/free-download/independence-free-sampler-software/ I think CbB is better for me, but you can do the same with this one. Audacity, a different league I Know, has added vst support, more work, different way, but you can creat music with it. And you can do a search in google, sure there are more of them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Audacity is an editor, not a DAW. Its no where near as powerful as CbB. indépendance is a sampler not a DAW.

mark skinner Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 I am not one of the people that feel they got ripped off with the Gibson fiasco. The last Cakewalk product that I actually bought was Sonar7 and it's 32bit. I've tried a few other Daws , and have Very recently. I have nothing comfortable to fall back on. My simple workflow never reveals bugs and I Never crash. I am Totally hooked ! I will Have to stay with some version of this software. Now I'm going to relax and quit worrying about it. ms 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conteloto Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 Audacity is a DAW, I know it is not like CbB, that´s because I use CbB, but it is a DAW Sorry about Magix, this one https://www.magix.com/es/musica/music-maker/ Music maker free edition, some limitations, but you can make music without a problem. Another one :https://www.tracktion.com/products/waveform-free Another one : https://lmms.io/ ... Not to mention combining multiple applications Yes, I know,some of them lack some feature, they have some limitation, but what I mean is that if you are looking to create music with a free DAW, there are many options to choose from, that's why I say that destroying CbB is a big mistake, because a large part of its users use it, we use it, because it is incredible but also because it is free Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But anyway, why stop using CbB ? Its not going away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are not making money out of something, how can it be a big mistake to stop? Do we ever say that a volunteer at a community center makes a big mistake if he quits for any reason? I understand that it is frustrating for some to see their favorite free DAW stop being free. Me included. But I can't blame a group of developer and their company wanting to be paid for their work. I am a software developer and would rather be paid for my work so I can buy groceries, gas, housing and what not. Seems obvious, no? If the free model does not work anymore for Bandlab, they have no choice but to go to a paid version. No choice. If we have a little patience and wait for the pricing to be announced, we may be surprised that it is affordable enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AB9 Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 Can anyone indicate whether Cakewalk Sonar will have an easier way of developing themes (color assignments), perhaps even more preset choices of themes? And hopefully a preset theme on the "lighter" side like one I found in 8.5.3. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Anderton Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 The concept of having a free trial so you can check out a program, and then paying for it if you like it, is not exactly new. The only difference here is that the free trial lasted a really long time 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
