I’ve filled in the required fields several times, and I got a confirmation message every time, but the damn thing just doesn’t care.

I’m back to REAPER, thanks.

Expose by Mastering the Mix.
I think it’s free if you create a soundbetter account or something?

I can’t comment much on Cakewalk’s features as i haven’t used it much, I just found Tracktion/Waveform’s UI/interface much easier/quicker to get into (but still containing sufficient deep/advanced features) as someone from the digital generation without a background in analogue music equipment. One example of this, I find having tons of analogue-looking knobs convoluted, but that’s just me.

Are you running with sandbox on? I recommend running the new engine with sandbox off. I’ve found performance is better with no sandboxing.

Yes, but with Steinberg Retrologue. Changing presets causes CPU consumption according to Waveform to rise (other monitoring programs don’t show that) and then sandbox resets everything. It has something to do with new audio engine, when working with that disabled, the problem shows, when starting Waveform with new audio engine ON, don’t have problems with new edits, but have problems when loading old edits.

Said I was out of resources yet I run an i7 with 16gb ram off fast SSD, not running anything else. Anyone else had similar experiences?

No. But the cheap JBridge can be used to bridge 32-bit plugins on PC.

Even better than Cakewalk by Bandland in your opinion?

I have no idea why, as i too believe it is the best free DAW available.
