There’s no word on what those assets are, and BandLab say they’re not making any additional announcement about the specifics – so we don’t know how much cash Gibson got or what those assets were. Signapore-based BandLab announced they’ve acquired the “complete” intellectual property and “certain assets” in a deal with Gibson. So, while they discontinued operation of their Cakewalk division, apparently they had not found a buyer for one of pro audio’s biggest names. A developer of online and mobile music creation tools has snapped up the former PC DAW maker’s complete intellectual property.Īs I wrote earlier this week, Gibson Brands, the guitar maker-turned-wannabe consumer electronics giant, is hard up for cash. My install started with Sonar 8.0 Pro before installing CbB so I too assume it came through there. Looking, looking, looking, tab after tab, I found it in the Region FX in the wave right-click window. In fact, these installs may be deferred until a project is encountered with missing plug-ins.Įdit: I said V-Vocal wasn't in CbB. When running SONAR installers advanced option for plug-ins only, order does not matter.

Installing in order prevents lost updates. While the installers are pretty smart about not overwriting newer files it can happen with unexpected results. It is good idea when installing the actual DAW (in this example X2, Platinum and CbB) they be installed oldest first. The easiest way to get these back is an advanced install from X3 or older.

The legacy LP plug-ins were dropped from Platinum when the L-Phase plug-ins were added. Here is what that option looks like in X2 Producer To get V-Vocal requires a minimal installation of the DAW. There is a hack to add the old SONAR chm to CbB but there will be missing pages.Īll the other legacy plug-ins from X3 and older may be installed with actually installing the DAW EXCEPT V-Vocal. Include the local documentation if you want a relatively recent pdf and chm file. Can also skip the SONAR Theme editor CbB has its own.

To save about 50% of the space used by Platinum (excepting the samples for DP and Rapture Session) skip the tutorial install.

Unlike X3 and older, there is no advanced install option for Platinum. Going to need to install the Platinum core (The top level SONAR Platinum link in the Command Center) to be able to install all the Platinum plug-ins.
