guitar1,

I like that Cakewalk by BandLab (CbB) has received two updates since the initial release. Both updates include a good number of bug fixes so I have to assume stability is improving.

I like there is only one DAW versus one with no limitations (Platinum) and three (Home Studio, Artist and Professional) with artificial limitations. I much prefer for developers to concentrate on fixes, improvements and new features than on building limitations.

Presently the software is in transition. By that I mean the software still relies on Command Center to perform some fetches and verification. Once those behind-the-scene functions are ported to the BandLab Assistant I think they will start integrating works with BandLab features into the program.

The owner of BandLab seems to have a clear vision of what he hopes to accomplish and that is something Cakewalk has not had for many years. Roland or Gibson never figured out how to make Cakewalk part of their universe.
