Is the new free version able to accommodate all my Cakewalk/Rapture expansions and loops previously purchased on Steam?

Cakewalk by Bandlab will expire in 12 days, and will run in demo mode! Unless you update your Bandlab Assistance App exe to their latest version 3.2.1.0. Cakewalk will then read: Membership Valid until 2019-03-21.

I couldn’t sign in to bandcamp account from cakewalk site Chris. Perhaps you already had an account with cakewalk before they got bought by bandcamp?

I noticed if you go to cakewalk.com and sign in with your bandlab account, but don’t click on the orange banner on top of the screen to be redirected to bandlab , Click on products and select platinum version of sonar, then click on try that will take you a place where you get Square I, Groovesynth, DropZone, and Session Drummer 3,It’s located under(Artist Instrument Collection). Also you get Cyclone, Pentagon, PSYN II, RXP, Z3TA+ Classic, TruePianos, Lounge Lizard SONAR, and Strum Acoustic SONAR, it’s under(Platinum Instrument Collection). You get Boz Digital Labs ProChannel Collection, every plugin on that page. They will work with bandlab cakewalk without timeout or trial. Enjoy.

I switched to Pro Tools on the Cloud and it is a far superior product than Cakewalk which is buggy. I am not going back because the Pro Tools UI is great and it interfaces seamlessly with everything. Also, most professional studios use Pro Tools. Sonar is very complicated and cumbersome and now I feel like I am driving a sports car with Pro Tools.

Goodbye old friend Sonar – you taught me well but not looking back!

i’m a Reaper user. I would try this software but I downloaded the installer and was frustrated because extra steps were required.

when developers advertise “free” then they can create an offline installer and require nothing further from the user. if the user is using the software, they will join the forum for support anyway.

it feels like this software will end up crippled or sold to a third party who will un-free it someday. prove me wrong by making a fully offline installer from now on, and I will be glad to finish the installation process and marvel at the thing, but right now Reaper is mind blowing and gets the job done.

In reply to Nick. I agree with you, Nick. Cakewalk has more powerful tools like some soft instruments, effect plugins(especially Prochannel) and so on. But regarding Waveform’s intuitive interface, I prefer Waveform to Cakewalk.
