The end of an era

[Sounddesigner]

Presonous seems to be implimenting the best features from other DAWs to make one super DAW.

Exactly I've already told you, go for it!

That super DAW strategy makes them harder and harder to resist. Eventually "resistance is futile" and you become borg "assimilated". Everytime I try to rule Studio One out and scratch it off my list of possible choices Presonous then upgrades it in ways that I like and in ways that make it look like the ideal DAW and complete. I'm still going to give Bandlab a chance and see where they go with Sonar, but after Bandlab made Sonar freeware they really didn't inspire a lot of confidence in me and I'm not sure they're going to take good care of Sonar after that major devaluation. Time will tell when it comes to Sonar and I will try and give them a chance after the let down, but also Studio One v4 has earned itself demoing and a place back on my list. I will demo Studio One and if it continue to impress It may force me to buy.

It's very easy too, so that heps. Try it out, it is the best you can do, then judge

It turns out it was not the 'End of a Era' but rather a 'Hiatus'. Cakewalk is about to go Commercial again.

The DAW will nolonger be freeware and the name Cakewalk by Bandlab is being changed back to Cakewalk Sonar. Sonar once again it is.

Bandlab spent the last 5 years mainly getting rid of bugs wich was VERY smart. They say the new Sonar will be the most stable DAW on the Market, that remains to be seen ofcourse, but i love their focus. Sonar had a known bug problem wich needed to be addressed if it is to be a professional and commercial DAW. I hope the new version when released has a new Audio-Engine as i believe that is at the heart of the problems causing drop-outs, horrible low-latency performance, and conflict with some interface drivers.

Cakewalk will be its own independant company again not using the Bandlab name but still owned by Bandlab. There will be 2 new releases comming, 'Cakewalk Next' wich is the smaller less featured DAW, and 'Cakewalk Sonar' the larger more featured DAW.
