And to use it outside of Pro Channel if desired. As a VST (3) it could get additional use.

Are there download instructions. When I open the download, it asked which program I want to open it with. Huh? First time I've seen this.

Hi- Yes, you can use it in any VST and AU compatible DAW. Also, we have added sidechaining and you can also create FX chains using the CA-2A. For those that have been using the PC2A, it offers a little more flexibility at a very discounted price. For those that haven't, you can now have a VST/AU and ProChannel version of a really amazing compressor. It's a tremendous value at $99.

I got it to go through. However, a little strange it didn't show that it was an exe file. So, I had to rename it and then execute the download file. I tested this plug in and the side chaining works.

Thanks for verifying Andrew. The reason I asked is because I use X2 as my main DAW for audio. But I also use Sony Vegas Pro for video editing and hoped it would just be another tool I could use in both products...! Awesome... :)
Already have it downloaded now. Great deal from CW again.

Why did they give this a new name?? OK, they did say it was an "upgrade", but why change the name? It made me think I was getting something completely revamped. I mean, how hard is it to take software and throw a VST shell around it and add sidechaining? I have to say I feel a little duped. Not majorly, but just a little.

They sell it in Reason format as CA-2A also,
PC-2A kind of intimated 'ProChannel' because of the PC, but this is a VST/AU so wouldn't have made as much sense. CA-2A makes one think 'Cakewalk' because of the CA.

I have read some people on this forum say this when ever CW offers anything. Either those people have unrealistic expectations or they are not rational. If you are a grown person and have control of your funds and can make a decision plus read, I find this sort of complaint ridiculous. If CW offered something that wont work or never was delivered than you have a complaint. Otherwise if you read the specs on it and understood what you read how on this planet can you "feel" duped? Your only argument is they changed the name. My goodness how awful! They added features and now let it be used in other DAWs but for some reason that isn't enough. What else were you looking for?

Careful there mrgatorbite ... someone will throw his fist full of Cake walk batter at you. BTW ... +1 But, then again, you're only duped if you buy it.

I keep trying to buy it but it says error in the checkout. I can't manager it. If I can't navigate the website, maybe I'm not worthy of the plug?

The decision is: is side chain + usable in non-Sonar apps worth $20 (assuming upgrade).

If you downloaded the program with internet explorer you will have to rename the download. If your download was "Cakewalk %20Limiter%20" just right click and rename the download and add .exe extention to the name. After you add the .exe extention ,You will see the white paper icon change to the cl-2a red logo and you can install it now. Danny

I actually feel a little "taken" by CW's marketing strategy at the moment.
In December they give away a $20- voucher, with very little on offer in the store. A week or two after expiry, they release a plugin for - tadaaa - $20.
Guys, if you are going to "give" your users a voucher, why let it expire? I know many of the guys on this forum will disagree, or be "oh well, that's business", but I get the idea CW's marketing team do this stuff on purpose, with a s**** and a chuckle.
Is it just me who feels this way?

Bargain upgrade price in IMHO, so got it, yet to try it but the original is great so a bit more functionality for 16 quid is good for me.
