Early access is typically one to two weeks prior to the release. They've also started an early access program so interested forum members can download a per-release, beta test and provide feedback. He also mentioned the every other month cycle gives constant users time to adjust to the changes. One developer recently stated every other month keeps the size of each update manageable. Just before November ended 2019.11 was released so the releases have been. It looks like the Cakewalk by BandLab (CbB) developers have settled on issuing updates every other month.

Links below.Īugust, 2019 update information with links to information about prior updates:

To use the free software create a free Bandlab account, download the BandLab Assistant (which manages the initial and future installations) and click a button to begin the installation. This month saw the most aggressive update so far with more than 150 bug fixes. That means you will be using a DAW that is more reliable, stable and crash resistant than what you presently use.

The developers have applied almost two years of fixes and improvements to the DAW.

Why would you want to use Cakewalk by BandLab instead of your existing Sonar Platinum? Because Cakewalk by Bandlab is maintained by mostly the same Boston, Massachusetts USA development team. If you have Sonar Platinum installed on your computer then Cakewalk by Bandlab will install beside Sonar and both DAWs will share the third party content that shipped with Sonar. Unlike Sonar a 32 bit version is not available. The high end edition was formally called Sonar Platinum. Cakewalk by BandLab was called Sonar until Gibson sold the DAW assets to BandLab Technologies.īandLab dropped all third party content and released the high end DAW software that works on 64 bit Windows 7 or higher operating systems.
