1. Really appreciate the detailed video teaching, including not only where to find somewhat hidden controls but also examples of why/how they might be used. This will make the new tools a lot more useful when they arrive. Also very nice to have a video with more useful content and less camera time used up with being chatty.
 
2. Thumbs up on the strategy of providing a detailed preview ahead of release. Feels like a good way to generate additional interest ahead of the release and also helping us feel like part of the "in" crowd, getting insider information early. Other marketers could learn from you.


I agree totally... I also think it would be GREAT to do detailed vids on each of the pro channel modules...existing stuff is way too cursory... just the other day I perused a discussion within another thread on the concrete limiter from a user wanting to understand it better.  Lots of confusion and, "I think...." and such...  I remain confused... I'm like one of the responders who noted they don't "totally" understand it but use it all the time.

The Mastering plugs look great and seem to have all the functionality that's been requested. Have there been feature requests for auditioning/soloing bands, and M/S capabilities, or am I making that up? The turning on and off of the Linear Phase, so it can be used in tracking could make it great for a bus eq.Looks like this has deterred any interest I had in Fab filters options.
 
I was on the cusp of not signing up for another year, but holding off until later in the year. Then I saw the ad for Spring goodies. As Melodyne updated and gave the tempo map an option and seeing a Baker say they could implement that soon, swung me. The melodyne integration and the plugs demo showed they could are exactly what I was hoping they'd be.
 
Once these are out, hopefully a Dynamic Eq is on the agenda

I agree, great plugs, very flexible and functional. Dynamic EQ would be an excellent addition. Hope at least some existing plugins and instruments, like Boost11 and CSS will receive some overhaul.

I want to pass an Act of Parliament that prohibits the word 'awesome' in videos and forums; I'm still pondering on suitable punishments.

I think CSS has been replaced by Rapture Pro and Rapture Pro Session.

Thanks guys, really enjoying the CakeTV episodes!!!  The new mastering tools look nice and I am warming up to the Landr possibilities.  Way cool!

Rapture Session can play back Sound Center programs and expansion packs. It also has additional functionality not available in Sound Center.

That is correct, however CSS has some advantages over RSession:
1. Single window interface.
2. Sounds from different libraries have have their corresponding front-cover images, so user can easily tell Cakewalk libraries from 3rd party and even distinguish between different libraries, which is very useful since the default folder structure for CSS programs (including DSF) looks like a mess.
3. CSS has a better keyboard, which displays what keys are mapped in a particular program, and the unmapped keys are greyed out.
Can we at least have a 64-bit version of CSS?

Are these plugs truly brand new, built from scratch? Or were they built from the foundation of the current LP plugs? Just curious. It is not bad either way, I am just a nerd that like to know these things.
 
Thank you Cakewalk.



Brand new DSP, brand new UI. These were designed and built from the ground up.
Definitely some of the best plugins we've built and they are super stable and responsive. No glitching whatsoever when automating and changing values or presets. The graphing and the band auditioning features are also top notch. I'm very impressed with them.

I would really value quick demo tutorials like the this for the major plug ins and key features. It was very well done.
