Platform and future product updates will continue to be free, just like BandLab - innovation must push forward!

But don't expect Rapture Pro for example to be free when it is re-released :-) (except for those that have bought it before in some way or form and have already created a BandLab account)



What about the elements of SPlat which no longer feature in the core program? Will we get new installers which do not require SPlat to be present?

If you're referring to certain 3rd party content, unless we have a new deal with the manufacturer, that's unfortunately unlikely to be possible because legally Cakewalk by BandLab is a completely new product and we are a different publisher to Cakewalk Inc - we don't have the right to redistribute content we don't own...

Thanks Meng - I was hoping to do a completely fresh install using the BandLab installer then the separate installers from my Cakewalk account for the missing content. I appreciate the issue with 3rd party content, so I will just hold fire and keep SPlat running in the meantime alongside CbB.

That totally makes my day!  Thanks so much for the clarification, Meng.  It's nice to know that we can take a company literally and have the confidence to support its efforts.  Greatly appreciate!
 
Kind regards,
