a. Something to do with its not "slippery enough" ?
b. Not being "slippery enough" is a deal breaker but you will hang around here anyway ?
c. You think Sonar is a rubbish DAW and you want an immediate refund !
Nope, you got it wrong. I don´t care about that, but am always curious when people seem to think that they know the One Twue Way of doing things. Have a good one.
I guess you mean something like autotune which is realtime ?
Nope!

I´ve been using Cubase for 25 years, and will not stop to do so. But a friend of mine and me decided to start writing songs together in a raw and not so overperfectionistic fashion, and needed to find a platform that would be compatible for both of us. Cakewalk ended up being the choice because it´s free and unlike any other freebie outthere seems to have no limitations at all. I do find it a bit hard to get used to how moving segments around, and other workflow related things, since I´m used to how it´s done in Cubase and the look of it is not as great as Cubase. But this is stuff you´ll get used to, and I´m getting there. I´ve had one crash these last two months, and I´m not so sure if that´s a plugin causing it. I´ve had crashes in Cubase too though, so I would not consider cakewalk less stable.
Ah one thing: I found it rediculously hard to find out how to install it, after having downloaded Bandlab but I finally got there.

You should get a toast notification to update if your PC is connected to the Internet. The Arranger functions does what you need, I think.Roman Empire wrote: ↑Fri Jun 12, 2020 8:19 pmNope!

What I don´t like is that unlike in cubase, I can´t just mark a section with the mouse and then move it. I first have to select the selection tool, and then the moving tool. And, I find that sometimes I struggle to mark everything and have to manually add parts afterwards with SHIFT held down. Also, as far as I can see, zooming can´t be done with the scroll wheel as in cubase, so the whole moving, copying process just doesn´t have the same easy feeling where a mouse is all you need.
But I may be wrong, I´m just a beginner in cakewalk
Ah yeah, and I don´t like also that it will not automatically unselect the record button next to a track, if you select it at another one. It´s good of course that you CAN record at multiple tracks at the same time, but most of the time that´s not what you want (IMO).

It's a settings in Cubase and so in Cakewalk as well whether to automatically arm a selected track for record.Roman Empire wrote: ↑Fri Jun 12, 2020 8:19 pm Ah yeah, and I don´t like also that it will not automatically unselect the record button next to a track, if you select it at another one.

Thanks, my cakewalk tells me it´s the latest, so I´ll have to play with that!arjanm wrote: ↑Sat Jun 13, 2020 7:18 amcakewalk_move.gifRoman Empire wrote: ↑Fri Jun 12, 2020 8:19 pm What I don´t like is that unlike in cubase, I can´t just mark a section with the mouse and then move it.

Just using the Smart tool, you can select clips using the RIGHT mouse button and then move them by dragging one of the selected clips from their title bar with the LEFT mouse button.
Thanks for that, just too used to Cubase but if it can be switched off this easily, it´s certainly great!lfm wrote: ↑Sat Jun 13, 2020 8:02 amIt's a settings in Cubase and so in Cakewalk as well whether to automatically arm a selected track for record.Roman Empire wrote: ↑Fri Jun 12, 2020 8:19 pm Ah yeah, and I don´t like also that it will not automatically unselect the record button next to a track, if you select it at another one.

"Toggle Track Arm for selected track" default Alt+R key combination swaps this behavior.
Manual is pretty good for Cakewalk, spend some time with it.
What I miss in manual is a content index in pdf, but if using another pdf reader than Adobe's like PDF Xchange Editor(free) you can build your own bookmarks over time or add to any pdf own bookmarks.
I wondered from Sonar over to Cubase a bit due to notation features, but am back and Cakewalk is my main daw.
