I agree. But having the desktop app and cloud app be an extension of each other would be so cool

Desktop application :-)

Thank you for that conformation Meng, appreciated.

Having Sonar as a desktop application that integrates with a cloud based colab and sharing service would be really awesome. No more dropboxing files all over the world when you need someone somewhere else to record on your songs. Just click a button and a version of the project is available in the cloud servers. When your colaborator is done, you update the local project and there it is. I may be dreaming of impossible things, however, I work across borders a lot and would certainly welcome something like this!

what you describe sounds like standard centralised version control, used by software devs for years... anyone who's used visual studio with tfs or git will know what i mean... and if it is implemented in a similar way to the team explorer part of vs then it could actually be a very useful thing... the one big difference i see is that it's a single cloud server owned and run by bandlab, rather than that server part also being available as a product to host on-premises oneself

It's not quite like VCS though as I don't think you can control versioning with it. I use Git and in theory, you could probably use Git for versioning audio projects. I haven't tried. Interesting idea though for collaborations.

hmm, shame, maybe someone just needs to write some plugin/extension that integrates with git/tfs/tortoise etc, there's your million dollar collaboration solution

the site says that is does include "Full Version Control"  https://www.bandlab.com/creation-features

BandLab has full versioning and you can choose which version you want to publish. All prior versions are saved so you can roll back or forward to any version at any time. Its pretty sophisticated. Once you save multiple versions of a song you will see the revision graph listed on the right when you select the song. You can then choose which revision to publish.

Congratz on the new job dear Noel. And thank you Mr Meng. It looks very promising.
