I'm shocked this actually made it to launch. It takes a big steaming dump on the C: drive with no way to change installation paths for products. Yes, I know it lets you change the VST path and download path. BUT NOT THE ALL IMPORTANT PRODUCT PATH.
 
I'm appalled. I've spent the whole evening figuring out how to get around this garbage piece of coding so that I can get products installed on other drives.
 
Worst piece of amateur coding I've seen in years. I've not even had a chance to look inside the DAW yet.

Cakewalk should be ashamed.

We seem to be getting one of these threads every week e.g.:
http://forum.cakewalk.com/What-kind-of-stuff-gets-me-miffed-m3182673.aspx
 
If this is important to you (and I totally agree however it's not amateur coding, amateur coding would be buggy, this app lacks features) please go here and vote, this will probably be more productive:
http://forum.cakewalk.com/Command-Center-improvements-m3171065.aspx
 
Thanks...

i'm using it basically as a chek up  then i do everything manually ...... yep sad cause it would have been great to choose eveything ... it's kinda Apple crap like in some way "look it's easy , nothing to do " ..... but they forgot the "hey i'm in computer music since 88 , let me handle it " type of dude ..

That features thread is 4 weeks old and only gas 6 votes (after I just voted)...it seems there's been more than 6 threads of people complaining about C3.
Stop complaining my friends and vote!

If Cake hasn't figured out by now that people want installation flexibility, votes in a feature thread isn't going to help.
 
This isn't new.  This 'problem' is as old as Cakewalk.  On this point, the user base is and has been being ignored from the beginning.
 
Maybe not amateur coding, but definitely amateur design AND amateur release decision making.

How long has the features request forum been around?...maybe they are listening and always have but they only have so many ears right?
It seems to me the FR forum was created for that very purpose...people get to vote for feature requests.
I'm just surprised there aren't more than 6 votes on this (addressing the C3 issues) and so much ****ing about it.

Cakewalk already knows what they need to do and have a better perception of prioritizing.  Another vote isn't going to bring it to their attention any more than it is now.  You are aware they participate in other threads from time to time, and also guessing they read most of what's posted (if they have time)?
 
All the gripers need to take a vacation on another DAW and then decide if the grass is really greener or not.  To say they couldn't give a flip about their user base is about as rude as it gets.  I might suggest you drive to Boston and tell them face to face instead of whining on THEIR provided forums.
 

 Another vote isn't going to bring it to their attention any more than it is now. 
 
True, but many votes that favor the feature (lots more than 6) probably will get their attention and it's probably why they created the forum in the first place no?

"Time" is the keyword there my friend and the reason that they created the forum...the FR forum voting system tallies opinions for them and will hopefully save them time from sifting through this forum reading instead of working.

C3 is definitely the weak point in an otherwise strong release. I wish they would fix it first instead of the next update giving us a bunch of new features no-one asked for.
 
That, and be more open as to what is being done to fix this since this issue keeps coming up over and over again. C'mon CW, this is a serious oversight - give us some status update please.
