OK, one aspect of my problem solved.  Even though logged in via the new 'single login' procedure, if you use the 'search' box for a product, you seem to have to go to the 'change region' link at the top of the page, otherwise the shop seems to default to US$ and you can't get past if you're non-US.  Listed products pages seem to know your identity and list the products on the way to the checkout in your local currency.  The old shop used to automatically show you a page asking for your currency preference.  The new one seems to save you the bother and link this through your login.  Unless you do a search for a product, in which case you're stuffed unless you have previously 'changed region'.  A minor coding glitch I would guess.  So now I've paid (again!) for an mp3 codec.  Which works.  Hooray!  A little wrinkle for us international users, maybe, but Sonar is still my favourite DAW and its forum community THE best.

Well according to the thread title, it's coming "tomorrow" so I assume it's beta until the title says it's here "today" 

The first 3 books in "The Musician's Guide to Home Recording" series are available from Hal Leonard and http://www.reverb.com. Listen to my music on http://www.YouTube.com/thecraiganderton, and visit http://www.craiganderton.com. Thanks!

I gave up trying to buy anything. It was more of an impulse buy because of the sale. Gibson/Cakewalk's loss not mine.

The only problem is my forum e-mail is different than my store e-mail. No products associated with forum e-mail. Old account not accessible.

I wish I had a witty signature ;(

All my products are missing in my account except 8.5. I need to re-download X3 and associated plugs I purchased.
How do I get them back?

Re: New Cakewalk Store coming tomorrow 2015/01/01 20:47:33 (permalink)
As I have been trying to install my Cake stuff, on a brand new PC, I've run into several issues.
1. I bought the VKFX suite and have the official emails confirming that, but it is not in my "new" account, so how do I get that again?
2. I bought Rapture and though it is in my account, the serial is different and I don't have the right Reg. code. When I tried to register the other serial number (I have no idea how I have 2), it says that one is registered to someone else.
3. I don't see how to upgrade (again) my Melodyne to Editor2, which I bought when I upgraded to X3PE.
 
That'll do for now! LOL

Didn't you get a download to a file something like "Melodyne singletrack.2.1.2.YOUR USER NAME HERE.zip, and save it for re installation of Melo Editor if need be ?
 
I keep records and copies of EVERYTHING I buy, downloaded files, serial numbers, reg codes etc, not just Cake stuff, multiple copies on different PC's and external Hard Drives and USB sticks, so that information is ALWAYS at my disposal. Wouldn't like to be in your situation, that would suck lol, but it will get sorted out. I have a few things missing from my account, not to many, and I will wait until the dust settles and then look into it, no biggie, I have copies of everything, saved the old cake shop My Account pages before it shut down, always save a copy after ever purchase anyway. Good Luck

Yeah, I save them, too. I found my copy of my Melodyne 2.1.2 folder. Thanks
RE Rapture; because I bought it and then CW started including it in PE, I must have the two switched around- the Reg codes and serial #.  There is only one showing in my account and I'll have to figure out which one that is. Must be the included one, that I have just installed. I wonder where the serial # for that one is.
 
RE The Overloud VKFX suite; there are links to download in the saved email, but they get routed to my account now, which is not showing it, yet.
 
@ DaddyV      More of my stuff showed up the other day, though I can't imagine why it did on New Years Eve.

Re: New Cakewalk Store coming tomorrow 2015/01/03 14:56:41 (permalink)
Hi there,
is it correct that the prices in the new german store are some percent points more expensive than in the old shop?
Is this a handling fee (of approx. 5 %)? -> former prices where EUR = USD...
Or is this a conversion-error of the new login?
Best regards

I am clearly missing something important. Chalk it up to age, poor vision, or just an overall thickheadedness, but will someone please tel me exactly how I get to the list of my products?
 
Thanks to anyone for any help.

Old store link redirect to the new "shop". Almost everything is transfered for me, but NOT everything.
 
Not US$ prices looks like a joke for me:
X3 Producer "your price": $415, €471 ( = $561, so 35% more), 26k Rub ( = $439, so 6% more).
So, that does not look like VAT or (normal) handling fee correlated.
 
I would suggest to wait till they fix the shop before sending your hard earned money.

If you're missing products, just let us know so we can get it sorted. We've migrated millions of records from over 20 years of history. Unfortunately despite our best efforts, there are going to be a few products that didn't migrate for people fully. The most common reason might be that products were purchased and/or registered under different email addresses. Our Customer Service team is fully equipped to help anyone out with this. If you haven't already, just fill out the Feedback form here https://www.cakewalk.com/My-Account/Feedback
 
I'm a bit confused about the pricing you're seeing & how you're seeing these numbers. Today, all EUR and GBP pricing is fixed pricing based on agreements w/ dealers etc. For any other country the price is going to float based off fixed USD price, currency conversion rates, etc. The price will also include VAT in EUR countries (the exact value and percentage will be displayed in your cart). In other words, the pricing breakdown should be clear just by looking at the item in your cart. Are you viewing it from there or are you viewing the price before you click "BUY NOW"?
 
If something seems very off you can give Cleverbridge a ring. Official contact details are available here: https://shop.cakewalk.com...seco&id=PGYp2teP5K

My point here is that CW has redirected old store address to this new shop, while it is known there are still some problems. I have reported that I miss MP3 for sure, and I see it now. I can not remember either I have mentioned 8.5 SE which is not there, but that is not so important for me. I have used the feedback form, which is one way communication channel (I have got no reply or confirmation). And I have not found the option to see the history, which was available in the previous version. How CW expect people check what they are missing in case they no longer can see what the had? I have a screen short with all information, just because I had already problem accessing my account before... And I have used only one account, connected to one email which I have not modified.

Well, the prices I reported I see before "BUY NOW", in the "Holiday special". But all numbers are crazy:
  • after I have selected "Buy now", I could see: руб 11,182.37, 19% VAT (Country Germany...)
  • changed to Russia: руб 9,396.95, no VAT
  • went back to the shop... Original price: руб 33,110.09, "Your price": руб 9,396.95
But wait... do you remember what I could see before? 26k Rub... but now the "original" is 33k Rub!
 
Also do not forget that I already have the license for X3 Pro and the price reported is equivalent to the usual price.
So, "your price" and "holiday special" is just a fake. And together with all that "flickering" in numbers, I get strong feeling that someone (or something) tries to fool me.
 
I had the feeling this Summer (we had small conversation in PM about it). And the advertisement text was changed to acceptable form. I hope something can be changed this time as well...
 
One more remark about Rubles: they are not freely convertible and I doubt Cleverbridge accept Russian internal (not international credit) cards. So, what is the point to have them in the online shop? Just to force me paying the conversion fee? Note, that I have not found the way to change the currency after "Buy now" is clicked (the choice before that is ignored).

Today, all EUR and GBP pricing is fixed pricing based on agreements w/ dealers etc.

 
And they are "smart" now and check IPs... so from Europe I see 213$ USD ( == 179$ + 19% VAT)
when USD is selected.
Once I select  €, I see 191€ ~= 225$ USD == 179$ USD + 25 %
 
Note, that in case you use some proxy in US, you still can see just 179$.
 
Effectively, they have increase the price for European users by 6% (VAT not counted).

More of my stuff "has shown up", but not the VKFX suite. I am sure that having used different emails over the past 14 years, has contributed to my account's issues.

Obviously a bit late on this occasion, but maybe in future, if any further major renovations are planned, would it not be a good idea to let us know in advance so that those of us who haven't already done so can make a note of, or take screenshots of, our registered products?

They did. See the first post:
 
>> Now we are pleased to announce that we'll be launching a new Cakewalk Store. The soft launch will begin tomorrow and the site will be temporarily hosted by cleverbridge.com. This will be moved over to shop.cakewalk.com later this week. <<
 
Perhaps "later this week" wasn't enough warning?

Re: New Cakewalk Store coming tomorrow 2015/01/08 19:32:32 (permalink)
There does appear to be some discrepancy in the amounts listed for various products internationally. Sonar X3 Producer is listed as being $696 Australian dollars on the Cakewalk website. At two well know major music stores in Australia the recommended retail price for the same product is listed as being $549 Australian dollars (and then discounted below that). As an aside, Sweetwater is offering the same product for $329 US Dollars (= $407 Australian) - which is why I have often bought my software from US stores in the past!!

I have been leaving feedback and so far a lot more of my purchases have shown up. So, the team is working on getting it straightened out. That's encouraging.

Two comments.  Please add a navigation bar to the left of the store window, as before.
 
Here's what a typical page looks like to me.  It's so loud I can't see the products.
