charles kasler Posted Saturday at 11:20 PM Share Posted Saturday at 11:20 PM I'm quite content with cbb, are we safe staying with that until they discontinue it? I'll download the sonar installer and save it for future reference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Vere Posted Sunday at 03:46 PM Author Share Posted Sunday at 03:46 PM (edited) It is identical to using Cakewalk with the only obvious exception of a Nag bar infer the menu bar. It is a vastly improved version that is totally supported. Only negative to some is the graphics are not to everyone’s taste and there is no theme editor to fix this. i switched to Sonar over a year ago and I really never noticed after a week. We are just sorting out questions of if certain add ins included with Cakewalk that are not included in this version will be ported over. So far it’s a very short list of things missing mostly plugins. Why? Because it’s a very good marketing tool. Example it has me thinking that I can return to using Sonar. And already on my Video’s comments someone said that they installed it and they decided to buy a membership. Free software leads to sales.

John Vere Posted 9 hours ago Author Share Posted 9 hours ago I poked around all last night and my conclusion is if you transition from Cakewalk there will be nothing missing as far as I can tell. Only Drum replacer for some odd reason. I’m not sure what would be missing if you were a first time user and didn’t have prior versions installed. For sure TTS-1 would be missing. But Boost 11, Sonitus and the stock pro channel are all there. Anyway people should check it out for themselves. Nothing to lose lots to gain. My prediction is that very soon you will have to anyway. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjoens Posted 9 hours ago Share Posted 9 hours ago The orange Toasty Sonar reminder only occurs when you're online. I might be concerned if my DAW is offline because I won't see it or know why CbB is shutting down in the middle of a session or project when a date sensitive detonation device that may have been implanted in the final update goes off.

charles kasler Posted 7 hours ago Share Posted 7 hours ago I would be willing to pay a one-time fee to keep CBB, in case anyone from the company is listening. If not and CBB disappears can we keep using sonar with the nag screen indefinitely? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helios.G Posted 6 hours ago Share Posted 6 hours ago Ok, we pay the 49, what happens after the year is up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then you renew at $149 (or whatever is the then going rate) OR, cancel your subscription, use the “free tier” until they offer a discounted rate you are happy with. Simples! t Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Vere Posted 2 hours ago Author Share Posted 2 hours ago That reminds me. I wonder what happens to Sock Monkey’s membership when it expires in July? Do they charge my credit card $149?? I guess I better log in and remove my card. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
