Project5 was cool while it lasted. For active development, there is always REAPER.

Project5 was cool while it lasted....[/url].

Its completely gone now?....No, wait,..its still on my hard drive...

I didn't realize that since project 5 is no longer being developed, that we are unable, or not supposed to use it anymore...

Wow as other have said I'm a bit sad that development has ended on P5, and I am a bit disappointed with the crossgrade offer to Sonar 8, its no different than my offer from Sonar 3 but whatever the Bakers have to make their money.

I had a feeling this was coming a while back so I took the plunge and bought Ableton Live, which was the closest thing I found to P5 and I love its ability to use multicore CPU's which I didn't think was going to make much of a difference but it totaly does , I would have upgraded to Sonar 8 but for me I didn't feel the Interface was there yet, who knows maybe Sonar 9 will be right for me.

Now I just have to find a way of bribing the Bakers into making PSYN a vsti

i bought p5 a few days ago...OOPS.

If I recall, Psyn appeared as a VSTi in Live -- Live was the only host I could get it to show up as a VSTi. Try scanning it in Live.

wow, what a crappy decision to end the development of such a great tool. All it needed was multicore so we don't have to keep freezing tracks.
Even if they had to just make a patch to fix the coding to allow multicore to take effect....it would've been a treat. Cakewalk is loyal to their customers? That's a load of BS. They are too in love with their slutty Sonar. Sonar is the creator of Audio Dropouts....while Project5 was the creator of a 'new thinking' when it comes to Daw/soft synth hosts.
Doesn't really affect me anyways....since i torrented it off the net. And i did that with a sense that this will happen. And boy, what a good decision I made. It took Cakewalk over 3 years to write that little paragraph.
Let me use an analogy here. Sonar is that little insecure whore you see on the streets of downtown at night. It has **** load of flaws but covers itself with makeup (bloated amount of synths and effects) to make it look pleasing to all the horny DAW-men out there.
Sonar already has STD (Audio drop-outs) but i hope it will get AIDS soon and die.

As has been pointed out, it'll always work. The reason we're so peeved is that it's been abandoned within sight of the finish line, so to speak. It's a really great creative tool, and it's a shame that it hasn't been and won't be updated to take advantage of current computers/OSes, and to add or improve a few simple features which would have made it pretty much perfect.

Give it a try. If it's the right tool for you, you'll get a lot of use out of it, at least for a long while. The only real worry is future OS compatibility. I don't know if anyone's tested it with Windows 7, though it runs well in Vista.

It runs fine in Windows 7, at least x86. I haven't tried x64.

Is there any chance the source code could be handed over to the open source community so that it could be further developed by anyone so inclined? I know it's probably not that simple, but just wondering.

+1

If Cakewalk truly cared about the community they would do as described above.

Yeah and if GM really cared about its customers they'd give us all a new Pontiac.
They aren't going to give away code that they can use in other software programs including, likely, SONAR.
They don't owe the "community" anything. It's a business - buy or don't buy.

Keep getting your software through cracks and illegal downloads and your PC is likely to do the same. SONAR is a great app - maybe your cracked version wasn't all that.
