The Bakery is still there - bakery.cakewalk.com - but you're right, the link that used to be on the Start Screen is no longer there on this pre-release. Maybe the analytics were telling them that hardly anyone was using it? Or they just decided to de-prioritize it for whatever reason. It seems odd to maintain two forums anyway, but there are stranger things in the world. I thought it might have been moved to the Discover tab, and perhaps that will still happen, but it doesn't seem to be there as of now. 

I tried to use the bakery. I really did. But it would be hard to describe it as anything but a failure.

I'm refering mainly to the clone track gain setting issue that continues through track templates. Not pilot error. Also the cloned vst tempo issue.

Thanks for the patronising response though

Thanks Cakewalk

I had not heard of http://bakery.cakewalk.com until now. Thanks for the info.

I must be missing something.  It seems entirely redundant with this forum.  It says the mission is "a community for Cakewalk users to ask questions, share ideas and discuss audio recording and production technology".  Isn't that the mission of  forum.cakewalk.com?

I apologize if it came off that way. I don't know the level of expertise of someone posting, nor did you mention specific bugs to which I could say "yes, I've confirmed those." So I gave a general response that I was hoping would be of general interest. Of course it's true that there are still things in SONAR that need to be fixed (my pet issue is the non-working attack time in strip silence). But it's also true that a lot of the posts about bugs in this and other DAW forums end up not being about the DAW itself.

I really wish that new features would be left out until all the known bugs and issues are sorted. I would much rather have reliability and stability with processes functioning as they should. Sonar is great but adding more features when what is there already has holes in it makes no sense to me.

 
This is only my opinion but..
 
Cakewalk has to create a game plan and decide which problems likely effect more percentage of users.
What might be more important to you or me.. might not be "as" important to someone else.
 
Last months update was 100% all bug fixes, no new features and This month update is almost all bug fixes except some Start screen enhancements.
I know im going out on a limb here, but it appears Cakewalk is making bug fixes a big priority.
 

+1 for what Chuck said.
