Yes, except for the content exclusive to Braintree.



If this was a reply to my question about upgrading now and receiving everything through Cambridge, do you know why I would not get content exclusive to Braintree?
 
Thanks,

Because you weren't a member at the time would be my guess, and it was exclusive content to members during that release,  sort of like if you purchased a product after a sale, you wouldn't get the sale price (sort of)

The response was for SMcNamara. The content was a limited time offer, an inducement to sign up during the Braintree release period. The offer expired with the release of Cambridge. Cakewalk has mentioned several times how release exclusive content is handled.

Just as an FYI, Brian made the loop library for commercial release. However, as a SONAR convert (he switched with X3), he graciously agreed to let "early adopters" who signed up for the first release to get it for free.

I got an email notifying me of the new cambridge update a while back but I have not been able to install it yet due to lack of time. It is exciting to see what the bakers are doing. Can't wait to download and install. I am so glad I decided to upgrade to platinum. Thanks bakers!

A couple of little hickups, most easily dismissed as we learn what doesn't work properly (CCC), but anyone with any problem seems to have been easily helped by the usual suspects that loiter on the forum. Well done Cake and thanks to the hosts. This change to how we own and use Sonar is fantastic I must say. Quite a few songs now into my next album, with my first album getting airplay with 3 songs out of the five on the EP, all done with X2/X3 and now Platinum, and the only plugins I've bought are Amplitude and CS rack gear. I won't talk about how much I've spent upgrading monitors, interfaces, mikes etc!! They just don't count lol!! Sonar rocks.... Thanks.

Installed cambridge update and looking now in the win contol panel / programs and features and see that there is two sonar platinum installed, wasnt this an update on existing sonar platinum?
Or will we have new installs on sonar every month and manually uninstall previous months update every time? Im using manually download the update and install, not thru command center...

Looks like this:
Sonar platinum 1,43GB version 21.1
Sonar platinum 1,43GB version 21.2

Is it ok to uninstall the first update without harming anything?? (21.1)

OrphanProject I would not uninstall anything listed as "Sonar Platinum"!!!!!!!
 
I hope the Bakers will chime in here on this but my take is you will remove things that are needed for the program to work and will have to reinstall if you do. The chance of really messing things up by uninstalling is very high.
 
What you are seeing is not that unusual. For instance when I have Java installed each update adds another entry to the list in Control Panel.

+1   Those two entries are likely two versions of SPlat, allowing rollback from the current to the previous version.

But as I don't often use guitar samples (I too am a guitarist and typically prefer to play my real guitars ;-)), I figured I could wait...



The cool thing for us guitar players is the kind of voicings you get when you play guitar sounds from a keyboard. Also there are 10 synth patches that have the organic qualities you'd associate with guitar, but don't sound like guitar. I haven't tried driving them with MIDI guitar yet although I suppose I should, just for grins...


Hi Craig...

Nice set of samples! I can see many of them very useful and began writing a part using one sound tonight...

I can verify the problem with the 12-string samples causing Sonar to lockup... I believe in reading some buffers is the work around? I chose to use a different one of your sample sets instead as I hate increasing my latency! ;-)

UsIng keyboard voicings and running it through a Vox Coppertop in Amplitube with a Royer 121 on cone and a U87 on the speaker edge, then placed into one of my preferred rooms with its stereo width decreased and panned partway to one side...

Lots of fun!

Thanks!

Are you also doing the bridge pickup? That's a whole other set of reality! ;-)
