Earlier this year
BandLab purchased Cakewalk IP from Gibson. They created
Cakewalk
By
BandLab based on the last release of SONAR Platinum. CbB is free.
Leave X3 Producer installed to take advantage of the plug-ins bundled with it.
CbB installation instructions are
here. It requires BandLab Assistant which further down the installation page. It also requires setting up an account at
BandLab. Use the same email as your
old Cakewalk Account so they can migrate your account information.
The CbB installation is similar to a SONAR upgrade, after running the CbB installer, both X3 and CbB will be available.
