My experience has been mixed so far, the install went fairly smoothly, but I found that my vst plug ins, some of them scattered to various locations were not loading, so I had to add file paths to the various vst's (especially my vst3 plugins) and rescan, and it took a while, but it appears most, if not all are there. I haven't tested a project with Melodyne in it, but I will do so momentarily. I also had issues with my MOTU ultralite sound card not initially being detected, but that may have been something other than a Cakewalk issue, and I was able to resolve it after a reboot or two and some fiddling around with the Cakewalk Preferences/Audio panel. So now my most recent projects (the past two weeks), are now loading just fine with all plugins and instruments present and functioning--except I had to reinstall Blue 3 organ, for some reason, even though the .dll file was there it would not scan it until I reinstalled--no biggie. I also had to change a couple of default file locations, because while it "migrated" my preferences, it added the subfolder of Cakewalk Core, so I copied and pasted the stuff (track templates, project templates, etc.) to the current locations and now they are all there and accessible. It took me over a couple of hours to get it done, but I'm close, if not all the way, back and very happy that I will be able to get Bandlab's new feature additions and support from here on out. And my old Sonar still works just fine, so I'm not deleting it anytime soon. My only issue will be I am soon in need of upgrading my drives (or the whole computer) soon, as I could use better space/performance at this point, and still am using my Windows 7 Pro, too. That's a project for another day/month/year, however.
