Cakewalk by BandLab 29.09.0.062: Download the New Version for iPhone

As an avid user of Cakewalk, I've had my fair share of opinions about prices and product defects, which were classified as 'MEHHHHH' (bad) by some, including the software's Chief Engineer himself. However, with the new version 29.09.0.062 available for download on the iPhone, I'd like to address some issues that have been raised in recent posts.

One of the most pressing concerns is related to waveform rendering. Users have reported that importing a large number of wave files into a new project and selecting all clips to 'recompute waveforms' from the clip properties can lead to slower performance. Upon further investigation, I discovered that this issue might be due to the aud.ini variable 'EnablePicCacheThreads' controlling parallel rendering, rather than the multiprocessing setting.

To clarify, parallel rendering is not file-based but rather clip-based. This means that if you have 100 clips that all originate from the same wave file, they will only display once the full wave file has been rendered. Only unique clip wave files are rendered in parallel, which can significantly impact waveform drawing times.

Another issue I've noticed is that Cakewalk seems to be computing waveforms for one clip at a time, rather than utilizing multiple cores as it used to do when multiprocessing was enabled. It's unclear whether this is a new feature or an oversight in the current version 29.09.0.062.

Despite these issues, I'm happy to report that waveform rendering has improved significantly since previous updates. If you're experiencing any problems with waveform rendering or parallel processing, I recommend checking your aud.ini file and ensuring that 'EnablePicCacheThreads' is set correctly.

Overall, while the new version of Cakewalk by BandLab 29.09.0.062 may have its quirks, it's still a powerful tool for music production on the iPhone. With some minor adjustments to workflow and configuration, you can unlock its full potential and create professional-grade tracks on-the-go.
