As Bandlab has just raised the intro first year pricing of Sonor 40% and raised the regular pricing of Sonar from $149 to $179, there have been some strong negative reactions in social media. As this forum is in beta, I haven’t determined how I’m going to update things, rather to do a subsequent comment or revise the original post — I invite the…Read More

Very cool and I like how it ends! As usual, you and Inge fit together very well.

All three moderators—in the thread — all of us on a tangent on hurdy gurdies! For anyone worried about going on friendly, music-related tangents at LinkedMusicians, worry no more! That’s a quality we value here! Why did we go on tangents? Out of our love of hurdy gurdies and music. Personally, I love that. It shows passion for music. Long live o…Read More

I remember buying Greg Hendershott’s sequencer software decades ago when I am pretty sure he was a one man shop.  12 Tone Systems was the company name.  I don’t remember if he called it Cakewalk at first, but I do remember that it grew into “Cakewalk”.  Anyway-  Time keeps flowing, and products adapt or di…

Bandlab’s social media guy just removed my post in their subbreddit where it was getting a good deal of likes pretty quickly. I’ll share it here. This is what they censored in its entirety (no edits):

Yeah, that’s clearly a pretty good list! These things are fun for me. And I’ll share something you may have already figured out, I sometimes spend time with my freebie lists — and looking at the other ones out there — to stop myself from…Read More

I’d LOVE to get a Hurdy Gurdy, but I already have 4 (Sonokinetic, SonicCouture, Edu Pradu, Loot Audio) so not sure I NEED another one. But this one sure sounds good!

I have the Sonokinetic Hurdy Gurdy and the Edu Prado Hurdy Gurdy. The Soniokinetic one was free, and I don’t find it very usable. I really l…Read More

@bluescat Based on everyone’s comments — and after checking my own account and finding that I also have discounted prices for being a customer (I own around 3 dozen of their products)  — I’d recommend contacting the AAS folks. They’ve always been super nice every time I’ve interacted with them. My guess is that you should be seeing discounted…Read More

All of us who have projects in Cakewalk by Bandlab have skin in the game.

For those who think that Bandlab is some kind of customer-friendly company owned by a kind, altruistic son of one the richest men in the world (his family is the richest family in Asia), consider this. Cakewalk Sonar’s development team — part of a company valued at $425…Read More
