This company has a freeware leveling amplifier that had been my favorite of the type before CbB came out and I discovered that CA-2A had a module that appeared in the ProChannel:

They just call it their "Leveling Tool," and it's at least worth a try. It might work for you until BandLab start shipping the CA-2A. It looks great.

I'm interested to see what BandLab do with the "premium" tools like CA2A once they have completed this phase of their plan which seems centred on establishing the free Cakewalk's market position.
 
Definitely makes sense make the distinction given that those of us who already own the content can use it with CbB so we have not lost anything and it leaves them something extra to offer new users in the future.
 
I do hope though that they start to give some updates on their plans in this area even if the timescales are still a bit vague.

I think that there will be a good case for re-releasing the premium tools like CA-2A, Z3TA+2, and Rapture Pro.
 
But the BandLab priorities are on the DAW for now.  I think they plan to under promise and over deliver, so probably no official speculation on timelines is forthcoming.

It depends on whether the premium add-on was developed in-house or was licensed from a third party. In the latter case (including some features that aren't plugins), deals have to be renegotiated with outside companies.
 
CA-2A's file header says copyright Cakewalk, which leads me to believe it was developed in-house and there should be no barrier to selling it again. It's probably just a matter of setting priorities for the smaller development staff. It would be nuts for BandLab to own intellectual property and not try to earn revenue from it, so I expect most things will be available for purchase in time.
 
Other plugins that contain the same copyright information include Boost11, Dimension Pro, Rapture, DropZone, RXP, Session Drummer, Studio Instruments, TS-64 Transient Shaper, TL-64 Tube Leveler, VX-64 Vocal Strip, LP EQ, LP MB, Drum Replacer and PX-64 Percussion Strip. (These are just taken from my own current inventory; not sure which ones are already bundled with CbB.) I would expect all or most of these to be made available for separate purchase.

All for the under promise and over deliver approach just after a few snippets to encourage idle (hopeful) speculation.

Maybe you need to ask Noel how he feels about speculation, after the big "Mac version" announcement, LOL!

Yes, all the plug-ins need updates (at a minimum UI and documentation changes for the new company) and installers written. Then there is the issue of account migration. I cannot imagine a roll out of Cakewalk add-ons before this task is complete.

I would be shocked if they didn’t release it. It’s easily the best effects plugin made by Cakewalk .

Not if, but rather when, LOL!
 
When it is ready, but not before.
