BobXX Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 (edited) I'm asking a suggestion to decide whether is feasible to remain in the Bandlab world after ~20 years of Cakewalk/Sonar/CbB In my band I'm the main user of Cakewalk, I'm not happy to have ANY rented software, but I could anyway consider temporarily the new Sonar pay per use solution. I have other 4 band's member that used free CbB for rare remote contributes on the projects (mainly pre-production). What's the best solution could be for them - staying within Bandlab - considering that a Sonar payed licence for all of them is it totally out of the question? Thanx for help Edited August 1 by BobXX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanx for help poor bunny To find a way for occasional collaborators (band members) to continue contributing without needing a full, paid Sonar license — preferably within the BandLab ecosystem.

Mark Morgon-Shaw Posted Tuesday at 10:51 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 10:51 AM Why don't you all just switch to the new Sonar Free Tier 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobXX Posted Saturday at 12:56 PM Author Share Posted Saturday at 12:56 PM (edited) I'm trying the Sonar Free Tier now for one of them for testing. It loads CbB projects (I reduced tracks and complexity for him/it) and have all the functions required. I'd say have all the functions of CbB ! The only evident different thing is the "theme" colours, quite unfriendly for the eyes, But I know that isn't really a theme change but a completely graphic re-enginnering to allow high DPI, bigger screens and GPU use. So il will probably develope in the future, IMHO mandatory for the payed version. Edited Saturday at 12:59 PM by BobXX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
