There are some things Cakewalk does better than other programs and some things it doesn't do as well as other programs.just like every DAW, right? I do wish BandLab would start selling add-ons, like some of the plug-ins and instruments that came with Platinum, but I suspect they have bigger fish to fry at the moment. Cakewalk need make no apologies, it's a comprehensive program that is free yet continues to be developed. The bottom line is there are plenty of choices at plenty of price points, and different programs have different strengths. But if all you need is Studio One, then you just get Studio One. If you're a newbie and don't have sample libraries and other extras, it's an inexpensive way to build your studio. Komplete is done the same way - if you really want EVERYTHING, then you pay $1,599 for the Ultimate version but the $599 version does what most people want.
If they want to stay afloat, they have to get all the income from Live and Push.)
(Also remember that Ableton is basically a two-product company. The Suite version is loaded with stuff that people may or may not need, and they can choose to pay the extra or not. But under any other circumstances, the financial performance had become increasingly unsustainable, especially when the competition started to include Reaper (essentially free), Audacity, FL Studio, etc.Īs to Ableton being overpriced, there are several tiers for the program - a free lite version, the $99 Intro version, and the $449 Standard version whose price is comparable to other programs ($100 less than Cubase, $50 more than Studio One, $30 less than Samplitude Pro, etc.). The only influence the bankruptcy had was that if Gibson had been rolling in money, Henry might have kept Cakewalk going even though it was losing money, because he liked the program. It always seemed like some level of success would be "just around the corner," but it never happened. Cakewalk was in fact losing money regularly with Roland and later with Gibson, except for a brief period of time (IIRC around when X3 came out).
