Cakewalk special for Master Writer

This is NOT a comment on the quality or usefulness of Master Writer. There is a reason, though, that I picked Rhyme Genie/TuneSmith ($25 one time). As of version 3, Master Writer is online-only. The thing that really bothered me was that I would lose access to all of my work if I ended my subscription. I'm still unaware of any systemic way to get your work out of Master Writer and saved to some type of usable backup file. If they've added this critical feature, please accept my best Rosanna Rosannadanna!
 

Apologies about last post.
Sorry if I derailed the thread at such an early juncture.

Not familiar with TuneSmith. How do you feel it compares excluding the offline client?

I'm going to really think on this tonight. MW has a lot of features I've not seen elsewhere that go beyond rhyming which is really what I'm looking for. The 90 day money back guarantee is also a plus and since I'm in the process of writing an album, the timing is right.

I'm actually okay with not having an application now as I do a lot more on the cloud than I used to. It's especially useful when on the go.
 
Was looking at Rhyme Genie earlier and I feel like it's not really up to par with what MW offers as far as phrases and such which is what I'm after. All the stuff in TuneSmith I don't really care about. Nice features for a free product unless it gets discontinued in the future and you'll have to migrate everything. I just use spreadsheets for all that type of stuff now because I had exactly that happen with a couple other programs in the past. I do with Rhyme Genie had a proper demo to look around because the video felt like the person had taken too many caffeine pills before recording it. Worse comes to worse, I can always pick that up later anyway.
 
I'll get back to you on the exporting thing. I'll likely pick this up tonight.

First impressions:
 
Gripe 1 - Not really a fan of the GUI. It's a bit on the laggy side which when I'm in work mode can be a bit of a pain. That's one of the downsides of using a web interface though.
 
Gripe 2 - You can only be logged in one place at a time. While testing if the GUI lag was more of a Firefox issue, I logged in with Chrome which instantly logged me out of Firefox. This is a terrible method of doing things because it restricts access to one platform at a time. This is 2017 and many of us work on multiple platforms at once.
 
Gripe 3 - Catalogue exporting from what I'm seeing exports only the audio you record into Masterwriter, not the actual songs. This pretty much concludes that I would never rely on this program as my actual word processor and I will continue to manually move all my work over.
 
Gripe 4 - No more songuard from the looks of things.

Praise 1 - The slant rhyming in this is incredibly well done and one of the main reasons I bought it. I've not found anything that can really compare at this point to the way they've designed and utilize their rhyming.
 
Praise 2 - The phrase engine also seems to be very good at coming up with a lot of options.
 
We'll see how this plays out as I've got 90 days to play in it. Interface wise, I absolutely hate it. I feel like I'm using a program from 1995 rather than something modern. In the end though, if it does what I need it to do, it'll be a good purchase. It just sucks that I feel like I'm paying so much for half the features because they have gimped it so badly.

That is what I have used up to this point. I can say 100% that MW is much better than rhymezone at coming up with create ways to write.

If I already know what the message is and I just want a quirky rhyme I'll use rhyme zone. Especially on the go.

My friend lent me his username and password, I tried MW out.
 
There was a lot of lag at the web site, lots of click and wait.  I have good internet and WiFi so i do not think it is my PC.  
 
Anyone else notice this ?
