Ashwin Rao Posted 16 hours ago Share Posted 16 hours ago In this, our second bi-weekly product update, we’re focusing on Cakewalk Next! Our goal with bi-weekly updates is to provide more transparency about what we’re working on and why, and remain engaged with you to ensure you’re getting the most value out of every release. ICYMI: Cakewalk Next is Now Free to Use Cakewalk Next is now available as a comprehensive free tier. Whether you’re just starting out or you’re a seasoned producer, you can now use Next’s quick yet powerful workflow to record, edit, mix, and publish your music to BandLab, completely free. Latest Updates Last week's update (version 1.0.1.657) is packed with new creative tools and workflow improvements, including: Access to a comprehensive set of free samples from BandLab Sounds, directly available in the Loop Browser As a workflow improvement for BandLab Studio users, Sampler tracks now automatically import into Cakewalk Next as a Pad Controller track, with all your original samples perfectly mapped. We recently announced the availability of Cakewalk Core plugins, a suite of essential, high-quality, low-CPU track effects. An update with improvements and a new plugin is coming within a few days. NEW: Spatial Panner - a perceptual sound panner with Doppler and attenuation rendering, and graphical path editing for immersive automated panning effects. Phase scope visualizer - Core Phase now has a scope display that provides a real-time visualization of the stereo relationship between the left and right channels of an audio signal. This release is also packed with stability and feature improvements with MIDI, XSampler, UI, Sounds and more. Many of these fixes address issues directly reported by you - thank you for your detailed feedback. It helps make Next a better experience for everyone. On the horizon Your feedback is shaping our roadmap, and we're excited to give you a sneak peek at what's in the pipeline based on your top requests: Piano Roll View updates, bringing next-level improvements to MIDI editing workflows and beat making capabilities. Performance boosts on Mac will bring smoother, faster, and more responsive performance, allowing for more CPU headroom for more tracks and effects. And more premium plugins on the way - more on that soon. We'll be back in two weeks with another update! Best regards, The Cakewalk Team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
