![]() To be honest, the only reason Bandlab are able to give it away for free is because nobody else wanted it, it was a dead duck the second Roland sold it, Roland have zero money issues, but they choose to get shot of the brand as soon as they could when they failed to find any developers who thought that it was viable to port Sonar with all of its issues, add to this the fact that the Cakewalk brand was actually a hinderance to hardware sales, Roland wanted out quick fast, and we all know what happens to anything that is sold to Gibson, its where technology companies go to die, luckily they are now dying themselves. It's community is/was very poor and very uppity to say the least "We are better than everybody else because we began on DOS" etc etc It is way more bloated than Reaper, not only in install size, but also resource usage. It is not as easy to use as Reaper once you have Reaper set up (Nothing is) There are other issues with RAM and CPU etc, however it does have a really cool feature set and even has some super slick performance options thanks to the Roland years. ![]() It will stay Windows only, so it will never compete with Reaper on any cross platform software, various developers have come and gone after going through the code and 'apparently' it is near impossible to port to any other platform without a complete rewrite, which it will not be getting any time soon from Bandlab.
