Some of the free plugins out there hold such a class that they could easily go for several hundred bucks. And there are a lot. Firstly, we would like to give a big thanks to all the VST plugin creators out there, who are willing to give out their amazing work for free. Cakewalk by BandLab by Cakewalk is an Audio Plugin Host and a Standalone Application for Windows. It functions as a Standalone Application. It can host VST Plugins, VST 3 Plugins and DirectX Plugins. Cakewalk software is back, and—at least for this first version—it’s free. After the social music platform Bandlab purchased Cakewalk assets from Gibson last month, it has now relaunched the DAW software as Cakewalk by Bandlab. Available as a free download for Windows computers, Cakewalk by Bandlab includes the same interface as the old.

Been a while since I last posted but I’ve been reading a lot lately.

Whilst I was reading my computer music magazine I came across this cool bit of news.
