You Dont Really Own Cakewalk By Bandlab And Heres Why

[@davidhiggen3029]

Cakewalk was nice while it was free. I was happy to have it while it lasted: allowed me to salvage some old Sonar projects. But it seems to 'call home' on startup so they can brick it any time they want to. I don't have any confidence that this won't happen. Like many others, I have moved to Reaper. The default options seem more intuitive to me, and the track routing capabilities are much better.

[@XELOhh1]

Agreed... And I can open cwp files in Reaper so all is not lost... 😀🙏🏾

I saw a bunch of people getting excited about the seasonal price for the Bandlab subscription but they didn't notice that they raised the full price to $171. I really liked CWb but I had to switch to REAPER. I'm gonna miss it But I git a lot of music done in the few years that I had it.

@@mlwsf I feel ya... At least you can open cwp files in Reaper if you need to so that should help ...😀🙏🏾

[@CarlosTapia-bw2uu]

I'm still making projects in CbB but also learning waveform free. not a big fan of Luna, Reaper or FL (workflow), I think the only daws worth paying for are Ableton and Cubase, but at the moment I can't afford them.

[@XELOhh1]

@@CarlosTapia-bw2uu I think you should give reaper another try... I have a configuration file on my site xelohh.com for Cakewalk to reaper once you get use to it you will see that it is better than Cubase and Live .. well at least to me... You can customize it to look like any DAW even live.. check out channel for Reaper called learning Reaper I go over a lot of things for that DAW... Hope this helps

In case of cancellation, I insured myself with a not entirely legal key generator... I didn't want to, but I insured myself... You never know...

[@XELOhh1]

That key might not work because they authenticate online not through the computer codes... 🤔

[@AversuzMusic]

@@XELOhh1 This key (R2R) does not force you to perform the act of activation. It works without the Internet. Let's see how it goes. We are waiting. The main thing is not to do the last autumn update for Bandlab - I think that's where the bomb is )))

Bandlab is very handy on my Android phone I do enjoy writing and recording my music.

[@timetraveller3063]

I make most of my tunes on my phone using Bandlab free

[@KreativeDevices]

🔥 Hopefully it remains available, but Studio One is the only suitable replacement if doesn't.

[@XELOhh1]

That's what's up .. I have moved to Reaper.. but I hear good things about studio one ... I will probably do a 30 day challenge for studio one as well... Currently I'm on Cubase and it's pretty good so far but we will see once I dig more into it ..😀🙏🏾

[@rhetriver]

I've been migrating to Studio One. It's better in some ways, but not as good in other ways.

[@XELOhh1]

@rhetriver agreed...😀🙏🏾

[@CRobWinNow]

That's why Have Presonus Studiolive 32 sx and MPC live 2, MPC key 37 and Machine+ with outboard gear. They shut any daw down it will work as long as the equipment holds up.

i moved over to Sonar...for me its worth the money..but i totally get what you are saying... after i finish a project, i save it as if i am going to transfer it to a different DAW..i started doing this when gibson screwed us....

[@XELOhh1]

I feel ya... I open my cwp files in Reaper... So I get it ..😀🙏🏾

[@Aurthur-c7c]

It's free to use. For now. I just started using Bandlab. And went back to Cakewalk because of the connection between the two. I'll continue to use it as long as it lasts.😎

[@XELOhh1]

That's what's up...🙏🏾😀

[@timetraveller3063]

Bandlab is awesome for samples...I actually create most of my music in Bandlab HOWEVER...I now use CakeWalk for Matrix Audio Clipping...it's awesome for creating drum n bass

This is a dumb statement, you don't own anything you purchase because the copyright holder or the owner of any derivative works owns that ip not the customer.

You still can use it for free. Isn't it?

[@KevinWayne]

Tried honestly to produce a song from start to finish on CWBB. Gave up after an hour, bounced everything over to Reaper and got everything I had been doing up to that point in 5 minutes. Reaper >>> Any of the Freebies 😜

[@XELOhh1]

@@KevinWayne yea reaper is a great DAW for sure there are only a few feature that bring me back from time to time... 😀🙏🏾

[@landsurfer3313]

Cakewalk is terrible, unless you literally have no money and are using it to learn. Went to FL first chance I got.

[@russelledwards2405]

I disagree despite not really using Cakewalk much these days. It has it's flaws, but is a superior mixing platform than FL. Cakewalk's "worst" feature is lack of quality included instruments. Other than that, it's hard to bash free.

[@XELOhh1]

@@landsurfer3313 it's actually a really good DAW I prefer it over FL Studio for what I do ... But I can definitely see why you would go to FL there are so many videos showing how to do things and work around to make it a good DAW to use for sure... 😀🙏🏾

[@XELOhh1]

@@russelledwards2405 I like mixing in Cakewalk for sure over FL study... But that just my preference...😀🙏🏾

[@thegamingzone5963]

Yea cakewalk is for mixing because of how u can add any amount of pluggins u want when u wana get creative but fl u can only use 12 or 8 at a time on each track.​@russelledwards2405
