Overview of Cakewalk by BandLab: Cakewalk by BandLab, introduced in 2017, is a powerhouse in the world of Digital Audio Workstations (DAWs) and inherits the full feature set of SONAR Platinum.
Background:
- BandLab Technologies acquired Cakewalk’s intellectual property and assets from Gibson Brands.
- The refurbished DAW includes all the essential premium features of SONAR Platinum.
- Notable features include the Skylight user interface, configurable ProChannel modules, and a robust 64-bit audio engine.
BandLab – Studio Instruments Suite: Cakewalk by BandLab is akin to the Platinum version of SONAR, with certain third-party products and content bundles excluded. Existing users who have purchased third-party items and plugins can continue to use them.
Notable Brands in the Users’ Portfolio:
- Rolling Stone
- MONO (award-winning music lifestyle products company)
- Swee Lee (Asia’s largest online musical instrument distributor and pro-audio brands)
Treatment and Installation:
Run the installer, customize the installation settings as desired, and proceed with the application installation.
To activate Cakewalk, follow these steps:
- Launch Cakewalk.
- Click “Help – Sign ON…” and log in to the BandLab website in the browser that appears. Activation must be done through this process; signing in to the BandLab website separately will not activate Cakewalk.
- Developers are working on enabling “Offline” activation, which will be available soon.
- After activation, you can use the included keygen to activate Cakewalk or create an “activation request” file.
Note:
- The R2R folder contains a file named FIX to install Add Content without Sonar.reg. This file is used to create a registry entry for “Installed Sonar Platinum,” allowing the installation of any “additional content” from previous versions of Sonar Platinum without installing Sonar itself.
