Saludos, no se donde puedo postear en el foro este link para que le echen un ojo a este video tutorial, espero sea aquí el lugar correcto, sino por favor diganme donde puedo postearlo ... saludos :)
 
 


El mejor lugar para los videos tutoriales está en youtube en mi opinión. Echa un vistazo a los estudios de chernobyl. Lo siento si esto no te ayuda Estoy hablando español

Muchas gracias por tu amable respuesta, es triste ver que el foro no tenga un espacio para la gente de habla latina, por otro lado Chernobyl no son los únicos que hacen vídeo tutoriales en la red, espero en un futuro abran un espacio para nosotros los latinos...

For the record, count me among the group who thinks all of this Mac programming effort would be better spent on Project 5 v3 anyway!

And that's fine if you are not one of many like me who bought the lifetime subscription for a Mac. Look I'm NOT trying to take anything away from the Sonar PC users. Was one myself once. 


Since you already sprung for Lifetime ...
You may be interested in knowing (if you don't already know ) that the newest versions of the LP-EQ and LP-MB have separate Mac installers for them w out having to use the CCC...
I just found this out when I went into the Cakewalk products section on my account ...
I downloaded both plugs for Mac .
 
just a heads up ,

PS to the other fella in the quote ...I love P5 ...sure would Love to see P 5 V3 64 bit


TYVM Kenny!!! DLing them now.
 
I'm astounded people claim they bought Plat without a Windows platform to use the current state on based on that announcement.
 
Then by all means be astounded!  But please don't think I prefer a Windows platform over a Mac,  based on Cakewalks, or "any" announcement...

Only astounded because you paid that much money for speculation.  I'm not a risk taker.  
 
I followed the posts closely and know that only an Alpha was really promised.  And I know enough about software to know that an Alpha doesn't even promise the ability to load, save or export projects.
 
As for the lifetime, they only stated that if the full Mac version ever makes it to market that one would only need one licence for Sonar.  So I understand the desire to get on board for life, should it ever come out.  However, that should have been a calculated risk one was taking by dropping the money down.  No different than gambling where you walk away from the table if you were wrong.  (IMO)

I had this written for the now locked Mac update thread, but I am not one to waste my own hot air!
 
Personal attacks on Craig Anderton are uncalled for. His positive contribution level is unquestionable, no matter where he draws a paycheck from.



Gee, I missed wherever that was so I didn't respond. Oh well. For the record, my paycheck is from Gibson Brands. Although I don't want to diminish the importance I attach to Cakewalk, the reality is it's more like a hobby to me because I've used SONAR since it was in beta...which was about 13 years before Gibson acquired the company. Today was spent testing...oh wait, I can't tell you about that. Anyway, it wasn't about Cakewalk. Nor was the telecommunications/DJ-oriented patent I assigned to Gibson Innovations today.
 
 
As to personal attacks, I had death threats when I was editing Electronic Musician magazine. Some people didn't like my editorials, but obviously I'm still here . I've been a public figure for over 50 years and part of that is being attacked by clueless people who have never met me, don't know me, have no idea what I do, yet feel qualified to offer their opinions. Whee!
 
As to the Mac version...I'm not in that loop, and frankly I don't care one way or the other. My philosophy has always been 1) buy the software you want to use, then 2) buy the computer to run it (in that order). Computers are appliances. "Religion" is a whole different topic than operating systems, although it seems there's some confusion among some people.
 
To those who say "But I can't afford two computers," I'm never going to diss someone because they have financial limitations. But when I wasn't making very much bucks at all, I saved and bought a TEAC A-3340 4-track recorder so I didn't have to pay the cost of going to Record Plant or whatever. In today's dollars, that cost $5,350. For the same amount you can now buy a Mac, a screamin' Windows machine, SONAR Platinum, and Logic X Pro and have money left over. Just sayin'. And the 3340 didn't have a mixer or a backline.
 
SONAR is a great program. I love it. After a decade of using a Mac and a-program-I-won't-name-because-I'm-a-gentleman I bought a Windows computer so I could run SONAR. Still use SONAR. Still have a Mac. Life is simple if you want it to be.

I want life to be simple on a Mac with Sonar :)

Risk? Yes, and then they did a full video showing a Mac running Sonar on it... We all saw that, and since you follow closely I'm sure you did too. And then, they also announced that to get lifetime updates at that time, you had to purchase before August 31st. So whats a Mac user to do you think? Not buy the lifetime because only an alpha at the time was available, and we wouldn't want astounded people asking later on "you had the chance to buy it then but you didn't"?  Reason says that they were developing this for the Mac, per their video. Speculate all you want as I did and will, but it was the only move we had at the time to be included in the lifetime deal, and the video was proof that they were at least working on this. This info (if you think about it from our POV for a moment) should quell the need to be so astounded, especially since you followed it so closely.

Of course I saw the video (it could have been running under Boot Camp for all I know).
 
Only astounded at the idea of forking out ~$500 for software that may never see actual production.  (again, the Alpha portion has been stated as 100% free to anyone from day one).  It is a risk, just like waiting for another lifetime update offer in the future would be a risk.  I believe they were working on it, and I'd even imagine they have something that basically works to some degree at this point.  But I also was pretty sure that a full blown version was at least a year away from that announcement if not more.
 
I'm just as astounded as someone putting down $500 on a roulette table.  
 
If you never install your serial number and activate it on a PC, I'm guessing the Bakers can track that and see if they are willing to give you a refund if you state your case at some point should the software never see the light of day.

It takes ages to develop modern software.
I think a few people need to take their tin foil hats off and chill.
 
The Mac version will come - Let them finish it.
Cakewalk can't win. People whinge it's not out yet but will also whinge that it's buggy if the release is rushed.

Let's just stick to fact:
- the Alpha version was officially announced and scheduled to be released last fall.
- that never happened.
- after having failed to meet the release date, Cakewalk provided no update.
 
In other words, Cakewalk could have won on this one.
 
Which is why most of us were disappointed.
 
No one was expecting anything but a potentially very buggy Alpha release, or an update. And everyone here knows that developing software takes time.
 
If this annoys you, maybe you should take your own advice, take that tinfoil hat off and chill ;)
