![]() But if you're comparing to something like ACID Pro or Mixcraft Pro Studio. I am not sure how fast the developers can work to get the DAW to a state where I'd consider it competitive with the heavyweights of the industry. But if you're serious about making music, there are better choices. The current version can work for a decade without issues, theoretically.ģ. Problem when using Bias FX2 Elite and Abelton. Even if development slowed, it doesn't really cost BandLab anything to simply maintain the product as is, and Windows is more predictable when it comes to backward/forward compatibility than macOS. ![]() I don't think the website has anything to do with the long term viability of the product. That makes things look nice (you know how people exaggerate about massive menu bars), but in practice it, makes feature discovery a nightmare.Ģ. The mere opening sometimes takes a minute, because it has to sign into the service every time you open it. Its using some awful Chromium based interface thats incredibly slow. The more I use Bias FX 2, the guitar amp sim, the more frustrated I become with its UI. That's generally fine, but I really dislike how they have broken the menus up and put a different menu system in every panel. Translations: bs Frustration with Bias FX2. ![]() IMO, Cakewalk feels more like Logic Pro 9 (X, by extension) than Cubase. I wouldn't be surprised if Studio One leeched more users from SONAR than any other DAW, on Windows - before the SONAR shut-down (not counting the refugees). IMO, Studio One picked up where SONAR left off - when the company decided developing more redundant plugins and bundling 3rd party software was more important than developing the base daw - and ran with it. Without them, I wouldn't have ended the stream within 15 minutes because a lot of the freebies that the people on the Cakewalk forums seem to be obsessed with feel awful to use. ![]() IMO, it was saved by the fact that I already own a lot of the VI and Utility Plug-ins to make up for its lacks. I did a live stream with it because my viewers were constantly asking me to do it, and it felt very inconvenient to use. It's nice that they are adding new features, but they really need to go back and finish what they started in other areas. the old SONAR forums seemed to be full of these people). It must have niched itself off to a certain userbase that simply doesn't care about that stuff, so they never had enough heat on them to actually improve in those areas (add to the fanboys going out of their way to make even the worst aspects of their choice DAW seem amazing. I don't know how SONAR survived so long with such a terrible drum editor, drum maps system, tempo editing, marker system, etc. That's how I generally think Cakewalk stacks up. I would even use Samplitude Pro X over Cakewalk, as it has better MIDI Editing and exponentially better Audio Editing. This function works fine in the other amp/FX sims I work with: BC Axiom, S-Gear 2 both confirmed working.I wouldn't use Cakewalk for EDM or Hip Hop, personally. They also don't appear to be mapped to anything in the BIAS FX patches nor can I manually map them. BIAS FX displays 19 sliders automatically but none of them do anything. I decided to see if I could get the plugin Macros configuration in Ableton going - seems a very useful function. So today I was testing Bias FX out again and it seems to be OK now - for how long who knows? At least it works.the bare minimum we expect when we pay hundreds of dollars for software. This was extremely frustrating and I'm quite certain it was not an error on my part. Other plugins were fine - only BIAS FX was playing up. Having other applications running will eat up the CPU usage as well, resulting higher CPU usage. Lower Buffer Size and/or higher Sample Rate setting will also cause higher CPU load. CPU will overload more easily on certain presets with more effects and/or dual amp setting. I had to make a new live set on the spot. The crackling noise is due to insufficient CPU usage. It also crashed if I clicked the MIDI clips I have set up to send MIDI PCs. Hmmm, I did update it a few days ago to the latest version. So yesterday in the soundcheck before a gig my band was recording/filming BIAS FX was crashing Ableton Live 10 everytime I clicked the plugin UI spanner icon.
