IS pow r working or not


http://forum.cakewalk.com/FindPost/3745674


Takes us around in a circle. Or was that the intention scook? 


The link goes to Noel's post. Pow-r is not part of CbB. If the library is not in the product how can it work or not? It is not there. BandLab is not going to pay for Pow-r and give it away for free.
 
Update: if you got this far and are still interested in pow-r for CbB see http://forum.cakewalk.com/FindPost/3746538

Pow-r is not. BandLab purchased the IP from Cakewalk. Cakewalk did not own Pow-r.

Sonar was never the industry standard because it fell behind in key areas of improvement and failed to remain relevant to the music production of the day. Also, the interface became cluttered and the workflow inefficient. Noel and team made horrible decisions on the development and marketing strategy that brought us to where we are today.
 
Today's music is split between snap to grid, electronic based music with people who don't play instruments and people that do orchestration. People doing audio focused recording is a dwindling population which is where Sonar was mainly focused. Hopefully, the Bandlab folks will learn from these lessons and improve the daw in ways to serve the current music production scene and improve/streamline the interface.


This is utter nonsense. This is what I term the dumbing down of music making as an artform.
 
I do not find the interface of this DAW in anyway cluttered and the workflow inefficient. I'm very productive in it and making good music.
Upgrading from Sonar Professional, I have no complaints whatsoever. CbB detected all the tools from previous Cakewalk installs plus I got some extras and I'm happy with things as they are. LONG LIVE CAKEWALK.

I think this depends on where you are coming from. If you are more of a guy used to sequencers and even 4 tracks etc, Sonar and the like is very easy and intuitive. If you are more of a loop/drag and drop kind of guy I can Imagine it might not feel that way? That is speculation of course. There is a big difference between the Garageband crowd and most of Sonar users I would Imagine. Just different mindsets and approach to music creation in general. Or maybe Im just an idiot.

I couldn't disagree more. THE reason I prefer CBB (SPLAT) over the competition (I own Logic, Cubase, and DP and have tried many others) is that CBB has the most efficient workflow and user friendly interface - for me. Your mileage may vary, but to make a blanket statement like that is beyond ridiculous. Not everyone does things the way you do and not everyone has your workflow needs.

Sonar generally has always been way ahead of other DAWs in the past, however I do think it has slipped behind over the past couple of years, but hopefully this will now change with the BandLab team involved. To me personally if Studio One had Sonars ProChannel & GUI ( please take note BandLab team: their midi timing & file tempo stretch are pretty damn good ) it would be the perfect DAW.

Since I only saw criticisms of the bandlab assistant, I mean what I saw to praise.
I'm sending this video to demonstrate that the Bandlab assistant has useful stuff yes.
 
VIDEO: https://1drv.ms/v/s!AlNeJv8LV85HgZAun7HKNFboLSQXVg

Interesting the menu sounds, which has lots of Loops organized in category. Yes you can use the Midi Library and Audio Library function in Sonar Platinum, but from what I noticed, all sound, audio and midi libraries are stored in the cloud, midis play through a native sequencer without requiring the use of an external plugin like in the sonar. That would open up some interesting possibilities. Also as we can observe has how to open bandlab projects. Being in the cloud the updates of loops and even sharing of templates and loops between users would be possible.

So the assistant as we know is a beta, and already has interesting function like these packets of loops.

But I have my criticisms yes, although I know it's beta: But when windows starts the assistant window opens right up and it takes a while to load. It would be interesting a function to choose not to start with windows and when this function was minimized.

By how much is this, everything for me is working fantastically who in Cakewalk by Bandlab

I know it's not there...
 
I'm just seeking clarification as to whether BandLab will be licensing it. Support on the Facebook Cakewalk page have said today:
"Hey John - replied on a different comment, but yes, this was indeed left out while we continue to work through the licensing agreement. It'll be back very soon. Should be the only thing missing that you find, so please don't fret."
 
I'm going to go with that.
