Jossy Posted October 23 Share Posted October 23 (edited) Hi there, I hope it's not too late to request features for the free Cakewalk by Bandlab. But even if the features below cannot be added to CbB, I think they would be an excellent addition to the new Cakewalk Sonar, or at least would make me more interested in paying for it via the Bandlab suscription. 1. Parameter linking and modulation for every single setting in a plugin, Pro Channel module, channel, or bus. This will allow for a more vast range of possibilities for mixing setups and options. 2. General Enhancement of Routing-Patching capabilities. I think for this one, some inspiration can be taken from Reaper's implementation of routing options. In my experience, they allow for invaluable flexibility and faster workflow, so it would be great if something similar could be done in Cakewalk . I think it would also be well-paired with Cakewalk's own patch points. Which brings me to the next (and probably most important) suggestion: 3. Adding a virtual Patch-bay. This could give us the ability to view and edit all the routing options of the whole project in one place, and would also make it easier to see what's going on and speed up one's workflow. I think the patch-bay would also make patch points easier to use, as it would provide us with a visual representation of what's happening behind the scenes. It should also be made possible to patch anything into anything else within Cakewalk, be it channel, bus, hardware input/output, plugin or ProChannel module. 4. More options for aux sends. I think it would be great if the sends could be given a few more options than just the pre/post-fade button, such as the ability to flip the polarity of a send. This would allow one to use more powerful mixing tricks and customize their sound. The above suggestions were actually inspired from Dan Worrall's mixing tips videos, but I think having these options would be useful for every music producer/engineer and would make Cakewalk even more powerful and superior. If the above features cannot be added to either CbB or the new Sonar, I understand. Personally, I would be extremely grateful if at least feature 3 could be added, but I would urge the developers to consider all of them if possible. Thanks🙏 🙏 Edited October 23 by Jossy Syntax mistakes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Arwood Posted October 23 Share Posted October 23 I like number 3-4. A visual of both of these routing options AUX and Patch Points would be GREAT! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the feedback! And let's not forget the phase flip for an aux send. It might not seem that useful at first glance, but Reaper lets you do just that and it is amazing what powerful things you can do with this feature when mixing.
