thank you Bandlab

Just logged on to the Bandlab site-- It's everything I would hate about a "music" site. Defiantly not aimed at us old farts.  Oh well. as long as they keep our server running that's all that really matters. 

I see a new community there already . . . "Grumpy Old Sonar Users"
 

By the way, is there a connection between Band Lab and Bandcamp?

Hello Meng and thanks also for your post. The timing for me is weird, because I was logging in today to get some answers on which DAW to finally move to, as I have new projects and clients starting next week, and I wanted to move forward.
 
I'm so glad I can put that to one side again. I wish you and your team all the very best, and Noel, so happy for you! You certainly deserve it.
 
cheers / Dave.

I don't think there is. The Bandcamp wiki calls it an American company. BandLab is Singaporean.

I am happy for this transition. Looking forward to what is to come for us users. 

Meng, 
You could not have introduced yourself better; the current status of Band Lab/SONAR, the commitment to get things right before release, even if it takes a bit more time,and that classy way of explaining BandLab would ather risk under promising,and actually over delivering. Sounds awesome. You sounded like one of the OG forum members. That was cool!

Imagine if the cloud and desktop were seamless. You have an idea while you're walking, tap out the basic harmony on the cloud, go home and fire up Sonar and work on it on your desktop, your laptop is synced when you work on it at the park, etc. You can share and collaborate with other people. That would be pretty awesome.

I worked on projects "remotely" at least 5 years ago, uploading a bundle to say Google Drive and then opened it with the desktop when working in the studio, then saving that file after edits back to the same location.
 
Cloud integration isn't a game changer and with a little know how you basically already have it.  
 
I could see some people wanting to do a similar integration like what Davinci Resolve can do, but for audio recording and workflow, I'd imagine more people would just get frustrated with someone else making edits at the same time and I don't think that is a particularly good idea.  
 
The internet has inherent limitations for any kind of live collaboration as it would relate to actually multi-track recording live some someone else.  I work in an industry that specializes in global network optimization and cloud services, and with current technology somethings just are not possible.

Thank you very much!!!  This is a great news.  I hope the best for everyone here.  I feel something good!!!
