pow-r 3 is gone why would that be taken out all these years. it is used in mastering if you master in sonar shouldn't that still be a feature in the program instead of having to add a plugin.

I still have Pow-r3. I have Platinum, latest version

yes but if we have Platinum, and then install CBB alongside, will Powr3 dithering be available in CBB?

well I had the orginal  platinum from cakewalk then I updated to the bandlab version and no pow r 3

but did you keep Platinum installed or did you uninstall it before using bandlab version?

no because I still have platinum on my system

I've been querying this and getting short shrift from Noel and the moderator, which frankly brasses me off as someone who's spent hundreds of pounds on Sonar over the last fourteen years or so.  I'm not some johnny come lately who's just signed up to BandLab to get his excellent free DAW.  And Pow-r wasn't a paid for plugin, but yes, I understand Sonar must have been paying for a licence to have it included in their product for the last few years.
 
Basically, they're saying it's gone, BandLab won't pony up for a licence renewal when Cakewalk BandLab is a free product, and we should use something else to dither as we see fit.
 
But. If you check on the Cakewalk Facebook page they are saying:-
"Yes, this was indeed left out while we continue to work through the licensing agreement. It'll be back very soon. Should be the only thing missing that you find, so please don't fret."
 
 
 

wow. i kinda rely on that dithering, so maybe i stick with SPLAT for the foreseeable future until something gets worked out

just open same project in my original platinum from cakewalk and pow r 3 is there for export

I thought this was pretty clear.

The Pow-R licence couldn't transfer over to a free software model so we had to remove it. Nothing else was removed besides third party plugins whose licences wouldn't transfer to BandLab.

BandLab purchased Cakewalk IP. Cakewalk licensed Pow-r so it was not part of the sale. BandLab is not going to pay for the Pow-r license fee in order to give it way. It is no different than the plug-ins bundled with SONAR licensed from third parties.
