Cakewalk Next = worst DAW (music production software)
It's borderline unworkable and extremely buggy. On DAWs you can zoom in/out of the recording for smaller measures like this:
x1 zoom [ | | | ] (four measures)
x2 zoom [ | | | | | | | ] (eight measures)
But it is CONSTANTLY, and I mean CONSTANTLY zooming out and/or jumping to the last position you were at when you add or delete notes. So they end them in the completely wrong spot and length.
It freezes often. It even crashes a lot of times trying to add new midi instruments. Say goodbye to hours of work.
Maybe there's a shortcut, but the only way to change instruments is to double click in a specific spot off the side, then right click the instrument which is loaded in as a plug-in, and hit replace. Just seems like bad design
Most if not all samples and loops are paywalled. Kind of a pick your poison thing but for a DAW aimed at beginners I think it would benefit to have a couple ready to use.
There's a lot of potential. No one's expecting ableton or logic but it's WAY too buggy.
