Check out all new features released to date. Meng's Announcement This is just the beginning, we have an aggressive feature roadmap ahead Firstly, thank you to everybody here for your incredible support in the last month and a bit!
On top of maintaining the steady flow of feature releases that we consistently do on BandLab every week, the whole team has been working tirelessly to pull together the new flagship, streamlined version of SONAR so that we could get it to you ASAP. We have an aggressive vision here at BandLab — and that is a world in which there are no barriers, physical, geographical or technical to the making and sharing of music. For the millions of creators already on BandLab in more than countries around the world — this vision continues to develop every time we push a new release.
For the professional musicians who use our platform, access to a complete toolset is a key part of this vision and this release is one of our biggest yet. Existing Platinum users: all previously purchased third party bundles, plug-ins and instruments already installed on your system should automatically integrate with Cakewalk by BandLab.
If you have all your third party products and plug-ins previously downloaded from the Command Center, everything should work seamlessly. Updates will come and more features and content will be available in the core pack.
For now, check out the Sounds tab on BandLab Assistant - there are thousands of loops available there - just drag and drop.
Many thanks to everyone who has already signed up for a BandLab account. As mentioned before, it will be necessary for tagging other purchases you have made in the past - for example, the next iteration of Rapture will not be released for free when it is ready unless you are an existing owner and eligible for a crossgrade. Having your obsolete Cakewalk ID linked to your BandLab Account ensures that we can verify your previous purchases, and any future upgrade or cross grade opportunities are available to you.
There is no obligation to send a tip. I want to thank all of you for your support, your encouragement, your feedback and suggestions. We are constantly humbled by the passion and wealth of knowledge among the Cakewalk community.
We hope that you, the dedicated core of long-term SONAR users, will be able to keep creating music with your preferred workflow for decades to come — and that a whole new generation of music creators, artists and producers will be introduced to this fantastic professional music software.

I had a lifetime validation. This version is free to all Platinum members , but for how long? And if that is the case, do we have the option to get the code to use our old software without authorization? I like what Bandlab did as far as saving the software, but after the downfall of Sonar I have little faith in what the company says. I just would like some honest answers as to what we can expect.

On one machine of mine, I can fairly reliably get things to stick and it looked like this was a good pointer for what was the cause, but on every other machine the same process works correctly. My initial thought was it was a CPU usage thing; the machine that is choking and getting stuck is in desperate need of replacing and is usually running near the limit of its abilities, and I've found that's when I run into the most issues with this bug. I find it hard to make my other machines work as hard to get it close to this kind of load so that's where the line of thought was going.
However, I was phase aligning 2 wave files with no effects on there at all, zoomed into the sample level and the zoom got stuck during playback, so if it's a CPU thing, this was a different bug exposing the same problem.
What are your machine specs, Gregg Markus? And how hard are you pushing your projects when it happens? We might be able to narrow something down between us to help Ben get a handle on it. What's your machine specs too? Let's see if there's anything common between us.
My specs are in my sig top machine is the one that's crapping out on me. You will be able to leave a comment after signing in. Cakewalk by BandLab Search In. Prev 1 2 Next Page 1 of 2. Recommended Posts.
