Hey folks, I probably didn’t make clear in the video - you DO need to update to version 2024.02, if you wish to continue using the free version of Cakewalk. Earlier versions will cease to activate in the future!

[@o.k.johnson6218]

Mike, I have the latest update of Cakewalk by Bandlab shown in your video (29.9.0.98. Is that sufficient or is the 2024.02 required to use it in perpetuity? If so, where may that be found?

[@raidicmusic]

I understand to do the contrary, not to update 😮, in other chats, so i have 2023 versi8n before October

[@mybachhertzbaud3074]

I suspect if they lockout the users of the free version, that "someone" will "Reaper" the benefits. 😜 Play On 🎶🎹🎶

[@SCgroove]

@SCgroove 0 seconds ago Do we have a definitive answer on this yet? To upgrade or not? That’s the question. I’m also wondering if there will a final version of CWbBL that we can download in .exe form and continue to use like they did when Sonar was acquired by BandLab?

[@mdfacp]

Please consider looking into open source applications like LMMS, Audacity, and Rosegarden. They are wonderful free workstations that can be used individually or combined to do everything cakewalk does. It's free and supported by donations. Music making will be open to all.

[@daveanthony3]

Over 25 years invested in learning Cakewalk and after literally thousands of business videos, training films, two albums of music, and endless commercials, I'm not changing DAWs. Congrats on the new channel. I'll be there.

[@raystaar]

I've been a Cakewalk user for almost 35 years. I agree, it's one of the most robust, best sounding, most full-featured DAWs ever produced for any platform and I'm delighted to hear you're going to continue supporting it. All the best going forward.

[@michaelhawkins6149]

Wherever you go...I will follow....because I really enjoy your videos and personality. Rock On Brother!

[@IglesiaPentecostalElArca]

Yeap me too.

[@bobbyswamp]

Me, too!

[@WildernessMusic_GentleSerene]

Been using the same CakeWalk Sonar version for the last 20 years. Running only on WIN95 and WIN7. Paid only once for my Sonar, no paid updates, lots of years of use, but age has long since passed this up. So, this year will be buying a MAC loaded with Logic Pro and Final Cut Pro. 12 years ago I bought a Zoom hardware 24 track recorder and stopped using computers for my music. Logic Pro will only be used for mastering my 2 track stereo finished song.

[@danwentz]

Lifetime user. The heyday was when Roland (VS-700!!) owned it. I miss those days. Gibson had no idea what to do with it, never understood that part.

[@Promidi]

Immediately subscribed to your new Cakewalk channel! Looking forward to the content.

[@thommymusic]

Thanks Mike for all your tutorials you have released, you've been a blessings to my brother and i, and to the CAKEWALK Community, please don't stop. we need you.

[@Angus_Macgregor]

I am also one of the people who got into Cakewalk early (1990?) and paid a lot of money over the years to keep updated on its successor, Sonar. But I just found I lost interest (read: "didn't have time") to continue with music production. Your channel was what got me back into it as I love your teaching style and honesty. However, I have now switched to Studio 1 and I'm really grateful that you have created a channel specifically for that. I'm not sure that a new Cakewalk channel will be of use to me as I'll be sticking with Studio 1 and I really hope that you continue to make tutorials for it. Then again, whatever channel it is, you always add in some great nuggets of non-DAW-specific knowledge. Great work as always Mike. Thanks so much.

[@pierrecarter3090]

I wonder why some people tends to say that CbB is not good, is not a complete DAW, is not bla bla bla, on a Cakewalk web page! I'm not a professional musician, therfore I don't make money with my music. But I'm very happy to have CbB free, and have hours of fun with it without any problems. Many thanks to Mike's videos about configuration and especially Tweaking Windows for music production. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y3ekeaSopc2pb80

[@larryt689]

Hello from Los Angeles!

[@kennethbuck5745]

So happy to hear you will continue to support cakewalk with the new channel. Will support you!

[@williamsporing1500]

I’ll be here, or wherever you go. You’re a wealth of knowledge and willingly share it with us. We all give you a big thanks!

[@scallydave288]

I have subscribed and very much look forward to the new content. Many thanks for all your previous content and tutorials - they are very much appreciated.

[@didimiorios3781]

Please continue with Cakewalk teaching class, I learned a lot

[@ironmanbatman686]

Subscribed to your new Cakewalk channel. I have loved watching your video's over the past few years, and have learnt a lot in the ways of Cakewalk. Thank you for your excellent work. I look forward to watching your new Cakewalk channel as it progresses. 👍

[@BigDaz]

I'd be interested in your take on Samplitude. It's been around 30 years, does everything other DAWS do and more but it's consistently overlooked.

[@intelthebrain94]

I just want to take this opportunity to thank you for everything you have shown us with your videos. I came across your videos in 2018 when you first started the tutorials on cakewalk. Now it is my primary DAW. If it wasn’t for you I think I would’ve given up on Music at the time. From the bottom of my heart thank you. ❤

[@thomasjohnson-ut7zl]

I suspect that the long delay in announcements of concrete information is not in Cakewalk’s favor.

[@xlsxmusic]

I'm intrigued and looking forward to this and thankfully can make the premiere

[@v-man906]

with you 100%!! Thanks for everything you do!! You rock bud!!

[@Richter2138]

Thanks so much! Your Videos are very insightful!

[@ManInTheAttic57]

That's great news Mike! Subscribed. Thanks for all your splendid videos over the years and for your consideration of the cakewalk community!

[@phillwildman]

I paid into Cakewalk since 1995 😮 Got let down when the last big paid upgrade for a lifetime sub suddenly turned into a selloff to Bandlab, which then turned into a Free version. I waited so long for this, that I have now been with Studio One Pro. Cant see myself switching back to Cakewalk again now. I love S1 so much. I will try to join this live stream tomorrow. Big fan of your channels Mike 😎

[@LBJ314]

Wherever you create content, I'll definitely follow. Thanks for all you do and continue to do. Congrats for the future🎉

[@tonymccraw3853]

Looking forward to your future content, and the future of Cakewalk. Thanks for all the great work you've done so far.

[@ScottRandall31]

Thanks for all you do, Mike! 🇨🇦

[@VentureOffroadAustralia4x4]

Subscribed to the new channel. Thanks for all the great work you're doing in this space Mike. I do enjoy all the videos you make including the cakewalk tutorials.

[@adamdev9391]

Honestly man, wherever you go and whatever DAW you choose to make content with, that's where I'll go. Your teaching style is just about as good as it gets

[@Reggmail]

I've been holding off before purchasing another Daw waiting for the new Sonar after the announcement. just using Sonar Platnum and FL studio with Cakewalk slow rolling not given any info on the release date and zero correspondence for weeks after being chosen for the Bata, I'm starting to lose faith after being dedicated to Sonar for many years. Hopefully, there will be some news on what the heck is going on with Sonar. Thanks for staying on top of it.

[@jasonwhitecomposer]

@Reggmail you can only get beta access now if you have Backstage Pass. They say you can request beta access but I have been waiting as well for free access

[@Reggmail]

Thanks for your reply Jason, I did sign up and was accepted for the Bata testing for Sonar months ago, and as you know it never happened. Personally, I'm getting p*ssed / frustrated with Bandlap knowing the interest and supporters of many Sonar users, and I'm sure they are aware of the many dedicated people interested in the new Sonar but their attitude at this point seems to be mute and none caring, so I'm about to do the same. As soon as Studio One has an aggressive sale I may jump on it. Peace & Blessings Jason

[@markskinner3050]

Thank's Mike , I'm staying with Cakewalk until one of us dies. It suits my simple workflow and I'm not a user who does much loop dragging etc. It's been fully capable of everything I need. Always enjoy and learn from your videos .. Mark Alan Skinner.

[@ntxoovvwjmusicstudio1942]

Thank you for updating

[@davesuchy4712]

I LOVE your channel and even bought a T-shirt! I find myself going back and watching older videos to remind me of shortcuts and processes you have shown. I love that and plan to jump on Sonar when I becomes available. I appreciate all of your time and dedication to educating the community! THANK YOU! 😊

[@erikfischer2443]

I used CW Sonar Professionell for years, and I loved it at the time. I tried Cubase, Ableton Live, Reason but didn’t really like any of these. As you, I followed over to Gibson and then Bandlab. However, at that time I started to think that, the future for CW Bandlab was a little unsure and I was looking for alternatives. I tried several DAWs, but ended up with Studio One. Used both for a while, but felt that it was hard to keep focus, well, so I made the decision to go S1 all the way. For me, even being a long time user of CW Sonar, I focus on one DAW. For that reason, I will most likely only follow one YT channel. FWIIW - I really love your channel and tutorials, and Im sure you a dedicated CW channel will work well for the lovely CW followers. Good luck! All the best!

[@dinopileggisecretbeachstud4570]

Subscribed and excited to see what the future holds for you and us!! You're the reason I decided to get back into "music" watching your videos...so...wherever you go...I go!!!!!!!!!

[@TheWalrus999]

Very happy to subscribe to the new channel. After several failed attempts to get started with home recording with various DAWs it was your Cakewalk tutorials that got me going. Many thanks for your continued efforts.

[@johnmccann1960]

Instant subscibed to the new channel, how could I not. All the best for this new adventure Mike.

[@johncostopoulos7741]

Thanks Mike. Your tutorials on Cakewalk BBL have been superlative. Have subscribed and look fwd to the future content!!

[@MrSpitlip]

Absolutely will follow all future videos, and subscribed to the new channel

[@ShaileshSharmasolan]

Have picked up most of my cakewalk knowledge from you, thank you and I will follow you in your next channel.

[@RuudBonnema]

Immediately subscribed to your new Cakewalk channel. Thank you very much for all the teaching and looking forward to the next lessons. You are a great teacher.

[@blackiewheeler4706]

Hi Mike I am so happy for the new Cakewalk channel and thank you for all your great videos and information.

[@marcsalt]

Hi Mike. You are by far the very best teacher out there. No ego, no bullshit. All the best man and rest assured in knowing that what ever you decide to do, now or in the future, thousands of us will follow and support you. All the best.

[@AntonBrowne]

Thanks for the heads-up regarding updating, I would never have known! Subscribed to new channel.

[@picksalot1]

Thanks for all the helpful Cakewalk content you've produced over the years, and not abandoning the community. Will subscribe to the new Channel. 👍

[@augustopereira2550]

Thanks Mike, for all the knowledge you shared over the years, of course I will subscribe to your new channel. Looking forward to hear from you.

[@fa0676]

My 80s synthpop duo uses BLS for everything, live. Your teachings have helped immensely and we are hugely grateful buddy. Thanks. Don't stop!

[@MKA63]

Been using Cakewalk for many years from Sonor X11 and now the free version. I could never wrap my head around the clip based DAWs - they are just confusing to me and get in the road of productivity. Liked and subscribed to the new channel. Keep it up!

[@pubmgr]

Happy to subscribe to the new channel!

[@john.galbraith]

Mike, I always appreciate your honest approach. I love the topics you teach and the way you teach them. I’ll follow you anywhere!

[@praiseJesusalone]

Thank you, Brother! Your insights and experience with Cakewalk is invaluable.

[@The-lobsters-Studio]

Thank you Mike for yur job !

[@jonstangel7583]

Subscribed! Thank you for all of your great videos!

[@myrio1]

Yes we would like you to continue your venture!

[@junorodrigues]

Thank you for continuing with Cakewalk.

[@pedrofialhodejesus-artist]

I must say I have been anticipating this move for some months. It makes perfect sense from every perspective I can think of. Good luck with your new channel and see you there and here and elsewhere. All the best.

[@NeelModi_dotcom]

I'll admit, I thought for a moment there that you would give up on Cakewalk content due to the uncertainty. But phew, nice to know you're sticking around. Subscribed to your new channel. I will also add that they last few days I've been watching your Studio One channel, and boy am I tempted to jump ship myself, but I'll wait until the new Sonar drops.

[@FreddyJ120]

Many thanks, Mike, for your up-front, no-nonsense approach to this. I, for one, will certainly continue to follow this channel AND your new Cakewalk channel. I thoroughly enjoy your style and content and I look forward to seeing much more! Cheers! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@JBDazen]

Subscribed to the new channel - you've been a great help in rekindling my love for Cakewalk and music production in general 🙂

[@wiseoldfool]

I've moved on to from Sonar to Studio One via Cubase and REAPER. Unless there are significant developments to Sonar I won't be going back, but I'm subscribing to your Cakewalk channel as that will be the best Sauce (source) of information.

[@relativetimeworx8459]

Glad to hear that you are continuing to make Cakewalk content. I've been a Cakewalk user for literally decacdes but even as an experienced user, your input has filled many gaps and helped me optimize my techniques. I will be able to proceed with Cakewalk's emerging new direction with more confidence knowing that I'll have you to rely on as an additional source of information and advice. Thanks and look forward to continuing the journey with you!

[@lrpass2898]

Hello, thanks for all video cakewalk ! Please continue ? Have a good day.

[@marc_2398]

Love your video’s!! Nice to see a new channel

[@Gwill53]

Subscribed to the new channel. Thanks Mike for all you do.

[@jakebass101]

This totally makes sense, I'll be subscribed to both because you have a lot of knowledge to share and I like the way you do it. I haven't made my mind up about what I will do when the new products are launched yet but I like your vids either way. Thanks for being more transparent than Bandlab 😉

[@salsorice1530]

I'm with you Mike - look forward to it. Your teaching style is unmatched, and I've learned so much from your videos.

[@thomasjohnson-ut7zl]

Thank you Mike for planning for continued support of Cakewalk users. Much appreciated!

[@cmgtafan]

I use cakewalk because I came across your videos a while ago and love your teaching style so needless to say I'm already subscribed to the new channel.

[@michaelsorel4984]

Hi Mike, Your decision is logical and legitimate. I can only imagine how tough it was for you to make it. I have just subscribed to your new channnel. So, 100,000 THANKS for offering your Cakewalk community an option for continuity. Me personally... I am playing Tug-of-War with my Cakewalk heart. I have never used any other DAW in the last 10 years. So I know, that I can either keep my current version with no more updates or support, or buy one of the new commercial products... or face a steep learning curve with a new DAW. I don't like either of those choices. But one will have to be made sooner or later. Summing it up, your offer to investigate the new Commercial products gives me faith, being able to explore them with your mentoring. I am thankful for your contribution, and I am sure that many others are also. Keep well and best wishes... your devoted Cakewalk student, Mike

[@dontucker]

I'm here. Glad you are continuing cakewalk videos - I've learn quite a lot from you. I too bought and used cakewalk from twelve tones many years ago, but life got in the way and I stopped working on music. I used it on my first pc - 286 with a soundblaster card. I had no idea of what I was doin' but soon enough started recording my first music.

[@jeffbrannon3605]

First started using Cakewalk in 1995. It was great. But I did move on in 2002.

[@revolver330]

Thanks for this and thanks for the info about upgrading. I will definitely subscribe to the new channel. Cheers.

[@photorealm]

Just an FYI, I just downloaded and installed it 4-15-24 and it i working flawlessly.

[@larrymagico]

Subscribed! I actually cut my in-the-box music making teeth on a version of Cakewalk so old, it didn't even have clips! As far as I can remember, it was laid out like a grid of sorts and there were dots representing something recorded. I got away from it then picked it up again at versions 7 through 9 and wrote an entire opera using just the notation function. When I decided to get more serious about it all, that's when I heard of Studio One. Anyway, I'd love to play around with Cakewalk again, so I look forward to the new channel!

[@ephtrackx]

Thank you for all the hard work and knowledge you've given us! And what a great decision not to completely abandon the Cakewalk community.

[@d1g1dave]

Thanks Mike. It was your Cakewalk tutorials that got me back into music after a 30 year gap! But, I've jumped ship to Reaper. Early days yet, but seems to do what I need without the worry about Cakewalk. I will be subing to your new channel though because you will still be teaching me things.

[@midiman5045]

Me too. I was on the Beta for Cakewalk when Gregg owned it. Now a Reaper user and love it.

[@davidsprivate5609]

Yep, same story here.

[@doug_I_do_not_consent]

I actually came over to Cakewalk from Reaper in 2023 because I thought it would work well for a second studio I'm working with. I always wanted to get up to speed on Cakewalk Sonar. The experience has been enjoyable but it's probably back to Reaper if they charge a subscription.

[@rickwitt5735]

After finally getting off of my dead ass, choosing a DAW to work with (Cakewalk by Bandlab) and getting started recording, I realized quickly that I was going need help. I stumbled upon your channel and it's been nothing short of awesome for me. I will most certainly subscribe to your Cakewalk channel and cross my fingers in the hopes that many others will as well. Thanks for all of your hard work. It's helped me a LOT.

[@Cryanoutloud]

Subscription added! I have definitely benefited from all ur videos and hope u continue! I barely scratched the surface, much more to learn on the original channel! I Thanks Mike!

[@swingconsonable]

Hey Mike, Im with you man.. lets start with the channel... you make the best videos for Cakewalk!

[@aculos2022]

I support your decision !!!!!!!

[@southpaw3473]

Great news, Mike!!

[@Reeceline]

Another honest and informative video. Ive been using Cakewalk Since X1 and made the jump from X2 to Cakewalk after discovering your channel. Whichever way you decide to go ill be there because I agree, your teaching style is very clear and calm. All the best in this new chapter!

[@DeeringAmps]

Glad to see you back!

[@timothyreynolds6255]

Mike, Thank YOU for all the wonderful videos on Cakewalk. I owned and used FIRST version of Cakewalk sequencer in 1988 running on my laptop (Kaypro 2000) connected to my Korg DS-8. Love all your Cakewalk videos.

[@davidpapendorf6764]

Thanks for the update Mike. I am a long-term Cakewalk user currently still on the path of learning Studio One. I will support both your channels as the content is superb. Thank You.

[@jimmysee1234]

I don't think I will ever give up Cakewalk. I am comfortable with it and there is always more to learn. I will be following the new channel Mike. I don't know what your vision for the channel is but for my part, I would like to see it become a purely learning place. Product reviews are all good but it would be nice to see them stay on Creative Sauce and leave the new channel for tutorials. What ever you decide, I will be with you as always.

[@booskalanka3447]

Hi Mike Creative Sauce has been a fantastic and constant source of information since I stumbled across it several years ago. I had suffered through the very lengthy learning curve of digital recording since the days of ProAudio 9 up through Sonar 8.5, but still, your tips and explanations made my continued learning much easier. I’m glad that you’ve decided to continue down the Cakewalk path. Many discount the DAW as second rate when compared to other paid systems but I’ve been stuck on it for 25 years/+ so I’m reluctant to change. I look forward to what’s coming next and your new channel to help us all work through it. Best of luck. 🇨🇦🎹

[@VictorISylvester]

I have subscribed, you have a great teaching style, and I have learned a lot.

[@markkbush]

Mike, you're a great person. I too have used Cakewalk since the early days (1998) although i have since left for Reaper. I will continue to support you for the reason I mentioned earlier as well as the fact that you put out great content. Thanks for all you do.

[@JerrySchneyer]

Thanks for all your efforts regarding Cakewalk, Mike. They've helped a lot. I've already subscribed to the new channel and will look forward to seeing more videos in the future. Unless Cakewalk does something really stupid to turn me off when the new program is released, I plan to continue using the DAW I've loved for so many years.

[@MusicalSocietyofKingston]

Mike, thank you for all of the hard work that you've put into Creative Sauce. I would appreciate you making cakewalk videos. I will subscribe to your new channel. Thank you

[@thomashambrecht6435]

I have also worked with Cakewalk for over 20 years and earned my annual salary from it. After ending with Gibson, I switched to Nuendo - and suddenly orders were completed three times faster with Nuendo. However, we do post-processing - that's what Cakewalk was never built for.

[@songwriterdermotmcmahon4522]

Really looking forward to your new channel.. I’ve just joined!

[@davidwatts5019]

Hi Mike, I’ve just subscribed to your new channel. Thank you for everything that you do for us Cakewalk/Sonar users

[@philcoulson]

Of course I'm subscribed. Where would I be without you? Well, I'd probably be right here struggling to make sense of music production generally, and Cakewalk in particular, but without the life-saving help you provide. Keep up the good work - I (we!) need you.

[@DesSherwoodGuitarTuition]

I have subbed to the new one, i think its a good idea for you and glad to know you will be doing more vids, i have learned a lot so thanks Mike!

[@jclyde6543]

Subscribed to the new channel. I've been using Cakewalk for over 25 years, but your videos are still helpful in my finding new ways to create. Thanks especially for not constantly hitting the viewers over the head with subscription pleas. Those that do seem particularly pathetic (as if we KZbinrs don't know how this works), and will get a thumbs down from me. I hope you find this to be a successful endeavor.

[@shane_taylor]

Thanks Mike!

[@bluefox169]

Thanks Mike for continuing to support Cakewalk by BandLab with a new dedicated channel. I purchased your beginner course a while back and have watched many of your videos on how to use Cakewalk to make the most of it for producing better quality music. Your teaching style and skills are second to none and this has inspired me to move from recording cover songs to creating my own, which I didn't think I could do a couple of years ago. I continue to learn with each new project.

[@richardingraham6264]

Thanks for all of your efforts to educate us about many things related to music production. I'll subscribe to your new channel!

[@johntheshrubbery772]

Really appreciate the cakewalk tutorials!
