Sonar Platinum mp3 export
I just pooped out $500 for Sonar Platinum and think it's completely ridiculous that I have to shell out more money for the ability to export in mp3. Can someone please point me towards the exact items I must BUY to get this working.
Thanks.

I believe this feature must be sold separately due to a licensing issue. This topic seems to pop up once in a while because it is frustrating and hard to understand. There are currently two options in the store and I'm not sure which one you need to buy. They're both $9.99. Here are the links: Cakewalk MP3 ActivationCakewalk MP3 Encoder DownloadPerhaps someone here can explain the difference. I bought this option many years ago and can't remember which is the right one.

TBH, forget the encoder in Sonar. It's okay, but average at best. THe system I use is to export to broadcast wav and then create all my MP3's in Audacity. It is free and also comes with great tools for tweaking tracks.
Plus Sonar MP3 takes "forever" to create MP3's - Audacity takes about 4-5 seconds.

Here is an image of the two mp3 products sold by Cakewalk side-by-side http://forum.cakewalk.com/FindPost/3273106 The correct product to purchase is the Cakewalk MP3 Activation. This program unlocks the encoder integrated into current Cakewalk products. As others have mentioned there are alternatives and there is no requirement to purchase an mp3 license from Cakewalk. The Cakewalk MP3 Encoder Download is for older products and does not work for current Cakewalk products.

StudioCat > I use Windows 10 and Sonar Platinum. I have a touch screen. I make some videos. This one shows how to do a physical loopback on the RME UCX to get many more equalizer nodes.

Although Lame installation and configuration is something kind of boring and laborious, after this work, it works perfectly.

This topic has been come up a lot over the years.The explanation was that MP3 licences for commercial distribution are not free. If it is integrated into the program, the licence fee must to be added to the cost of each new release, so in essence you would pay for it many times over. The way it is now, you only pay once, or you get it for free if you are willing to spend a little time configuring it yourself.

I am also using Aaron and it is fine. Do you now by any chance how to customize it cause it gives me way too many bit rate options to browse than I normally use?

removed my post. Wasted my breath. Just realised who the OP was. Do they get paid by PT or something? Surely you wouldn't just do this for kicks? I owned a music gear shop once, and was stunned at the level competitors would go to, to discredit my business. Funny thing was, it actually backfired on them in general. But this? To what gain? Time for another cull moderators....

I have no idea how to customize but I would surely keep all those rates because I never know when someone is going to stipulate the very rate that I got rid of. Stranger things have happened! LOL!

They'd have to pay extra anyway, but they just wouldn't know it, because the price would be included in the package. It would also be an easy way for Cake to charge 20-30$ for a 10$ license of a product which could be dl:d for free elsewhere.
