Milton Sica Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 I downloaded and installed Center. In it I commanded the download of Add-ons that did not appear as installed for me, even though they were. I commanded the installation and, even after the installation was completed, CENTER continued to show the image below. Another question I have is the possibility of installing the Theme Editor, as in previous topics I understood that, for the new version of Cakewalk, it will no longer be possible to use the Theme Editor.

Depends on what you mean by Cakewalk. The current Theme Editor will work with any version of CbB, but it won’t work with Sonar. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bitman Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 (edited) In the announcement text at the top of the thread, this is said: "If you wish to continue to use CbB" - Do you mean "If you wish to continue to use CbB till death do us part? - That would make me and I suspect a lot of others very vary happy.

It refers to using it in the short term. Cbb will be available for some time to give users time to transition to Sonar which will be the only product supported going forward. I think we've all learned that lifetime messaging can be ambiguous right? ? The bigger question to me is why anyone serious about using our products want to use an old unsupported product, when a much better (and affordable) version is made available. If you want to see this product developed further, it's only fair that we ask for you to support us in turn. I don't think anyone expected that cbb would be indefinitely free forever. In the future there may be a free version (with some limitations) however. 13 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my experience, if you cannot sign in at all using the standard web based auth then that is caused by some system side incompatibility with traffic being blocked from the browser to the app. For such cases there is an alternate sign in mechanism using password flow that uses an in-app sign in process. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Vere Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 (edited) @Noel Borthwick Thanks for the update and the clarification of the future of CbB. I’ve been trying to tell people exactly this but for some reason people seem to take it as a slap in the face as opposed to being the good news that it is. And I guess some are worrying about cost. I posted the pricing from the old Sonar compare versions page to demonstrate a possible pricing for the new Sonar. This includes Home Studio for $49. I got no reaction. It’s really just a few people who are negative about the company. And thanks for taking the time to fix the minor issues with activation and the splash screen as it was making the forum a very negative environment. You might be loosing a few impatient users due to Sonar taking longer to release than was originally expected. I think the majority of us would rather you take your time and get it right. We still have CbB and if this takes 6 more months then why would it matter. CbB is absolutely the best DAW for all us long time users and I personally couldn’t ever go backwards. The longer it takes the more time people have to save up. If you had put a dollar a day aside since last June you would now have $245 towards Sonar saved up.

I have two themes I use and neither of them are Tungsten or Mercury. I'll wait and see what the future holds for theming Sonar before giving a final answer, of course ? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Related to this, the ability to tweak and redesign elements (both images and colors/color combinations) can really help individuals with accessibility issues. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the future there may be a free version (with some limitations) however. Because they won't be able to install the new version on their pc even if they wanted to ? Also, until fairly recently I think it's fair to say that the impression was very much given that users would never be locked out of their older projects- that even if the program/company ceased to exist - something would be done to ensure that scenario wouldn't happen. That doesn't seem to be the case any more so if some people are now feeling a bit nervous about being a Cakewalk user all over again then I can understand that. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I A lot of us is afraid that change to vector graphics will make the software much "heavier" and not performing as well as CbB on our PCs. (Especially that the specs suggested for Sonar are much bigger than for CbB_ I am planing to buy Sonar anyway but I wanted to have CbB as a backup. Espacially that it was suggested few times that CbB will continue to work indefinetly just without any support and now it looks like rules are being changed during the game.
