Is It Time To Lock This Subforum?

[Jim Fogle]

All Cakewalk by Bandlab activations should be expired.

Isn't it time to set this subforum to archive mode to stop postings?

Probably because they bookmarked it.

Or rename it for legacy users - like: Legacy Cakewalk;  Leftover Cake;  Leave The Cake Out In The Rain;  Let 'Em Eat Cake, . . .  or somesuch.

Nope. Mine still working.

Mine is still working too.   Not sure why.   Everything seems normal except the nuisance messages during startup. 

I was planning to switch back to an older Sonar version when the time came.  There hasn't been an update in many years I've actually needed.   I guess that's what I'll do if Cakewalk finally does expire.

I think he means they're still using CbB.

Right. I think the other day someone said that it was still working. 
My version on my laptop died right on schedule. 
As an experiment I tried exporting midi, nope, drag a midi clip, nope so all you can do is open projects and take screenshots of it to preserve your settings and stuff. 
I uninstalled it- Good bye old friend I’ll miss you. 
I don’t care what anyone else thinks but it was definitely the best Daw of all.

I hold out hope that Sonar's visibility troubles can somehow be addressed. We've been promised more access to visual customization.

Me too.  I have not totally abandoned it yet because I will be back in a shot the minute they somehow rectify the shortcomings of this new graphics system.

No complaints about anything else other than the topic that is censored.
I just can’t see some icons very clearly but that said, this is now common in a lot of software. 
 

My latest one is some projects would open and the Browser shows the instrument tab highlighted but the list was the effects.
