I mentioned this in a post that got deleted. I started using this in the newly released Cubase 14 & it's very cool. Every daw should have it included.

pwal lɒwq Posted Friday at 01:51 PM Share Posted Friday at 01:51 PM as they seem to be focussing on their own proprietary cakewalk-bandlab-cross-app format/workflow at the moment, my guess is low, but i would be happy to be proved wrong 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not great at all. The developers have shown no interest in the format. As mentioned earlier, they've developed their own file format, which allows projects to be opened in and from the only other DAW that matters to them, Cakewalk Next.

Xoo Posted Sunday at 09:54 AM Share Posted Sunday at 09:54 AM A real shame as this would have been an obvious way to do what was needed for Next/Sonar interchange and not be left behind (cf. lagging VST and ASIO support). So it'll be twice the development in due course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn Stanton Posted Sunday at 04:41 PM Share Posted Sunday at 04:41 PM it sounds like it should be a good thing - however - it appears to have cracks already with people complaining about the amout of work (re-work?) needed to successfuly interchange projects: incompatible metadata on "standardized" versions (e.g. v1.0 and v1.2 cannot readily interchange unless updates for both programs), missing plugins when same company in AAX format and VST format are slighlt varied naming, corruption of audio files, MIDI data (yeah, we're looking at you SO... lol) etc etc. so i think it's wise for Cakewalk to ge their stuff together with their two DAWS, one of which is multi-platform, and perhaps revisit the Bandlab interchange as well before taking on multi-vendor DAW interoperation. i'd almost prefer having something like ARA interchange between multiple DAW which are active at the same time or on the same network etc vs file interchange (it is the 21st century, and if we're denied flying cars, then at least give us interoperation across active applications ... 🙂 ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bapu Posted Monday at 08:33 PM Share Posted Monday at 08:33 PM Overall it's a bit lackluster (DAWProject). There needs to be a central "bug reporting system" as I've seen some things go ok one way and then taking that backward go a bit less than ok. I have better (free) tools available to get "some" DAW data to "some" other DAW data. PM me for examples. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
