I have it installed, but never really used it. I'll try it in Studio One next time I boot it up.

Cubase is a bit finicky with some plugins, BTW.

Bada boom.

I almost can't believe you said that.

Beatscape was only included with Cakewalk Sonar 8 through Sonar X1.

If you still have a legacy Cakewalk account and X1 Producer, you can download it from there. Beatscape is a 2-part download totaling 4GB. Prior to X1 it was shipped on DVD-ROM.

I use the Bandlab version for audio recording, editing and mastering all the time, though Energy XT long ago became my creative DAW. Different jobs, different tools. Everytime I bring up Cakewalk it starts bugging me to DL a new update so I guess they're still devving it.

Can you install the VSTi instruments that come with Cakewalk, then uninstall Cakewalk and keep the instruments active?

I believe so. I think you just need to make a copy of them in your usual vst folder or drag them there. They work fine from other folders in other DAWs so I don't see any reason for them not to work if you uninstall Cakewalk.

Is it an actual program on your computer, or an on-line DAW?

Their site says "100% Free Online DAW",
and also "...Create, collaborate and sync across platforms, all with unlimited cloud storage...
....Synced to the Cloud
All your projects are safely stored and always ready...."

Sounds like you check in, do some work, and then its stored somewhere off-line.

No that's something else. Cakewalk by Bandlab is installed on your computer

OK - I guess it's two different things then.

I thought Beatscape had a lot of potential. Too bad Cakewalk never developed it further. They kinda did the same with Cyclone. I'll check if I have any of my old Sonar install discs that may have it. I think the last few updates were all discless.

Yeah i bought sonar 8 back in the day it was 600 crazy

amount of cash beatscape was a go to for me when chopping up drum breaks I don't know why but I remember the algorithm chop on drum breaks was fire did some layering had a very unique drum grove

also like their string stock vst def some gems in there!

The VST plugins might work if all of their assets are still installed where they expect to find them. You might not be able to just “copy the VST DLL” to where you like it. The DirectX plugins will only work with the few DAWs and such that explicitly support them.

You can move the VST instruments wherever you want them and they work fine. I have copies of them in my usual VST folder where VST Host can read them. It doesn't read Cakewalk's VST folder.

Cakewalk is “dead”?
