Cakewak by BandLab vs Splat, my experience so far
I installed and have used CbB for a few weeks now and have done comparison with SPlat, and I might need to stay with Splat for now:
First, project load. For the same project, with my typical plug-ins and VST instruments, CbB took on the two to three times as long to open. I measured this many times on several projects. So looks like CbB changed something in loading VST, and making it worse.
Second, export audio. In CbB when export audio in real-time, the Track View, stuttered, freeze: the now time doesn't move, and then jumps to a time and freeze again. The Console view is fine however. Also I consistently get audio dropout alert when rendering, but the exported audio seems ok.
SPlat has none of these issues with the exact project and audio settings.
