That's the kind of sentence that makes me wonder if it was a good idea to sell my 8-track tape recorder...

I enjoyed this. A well written song usually writes itself. One can easily hear a melody without one being there. Great job.

My advice... If you want a smoother ride, stay on the backside of the update wave. If you ride the crest, sometimes you're gonna wipe-out. (cue that tom intro)

Here is a public service for those that may have forgotten what that means!! Dilettnate: a person who cultivates an area of interest, such as the arts, without real commitment or knowledge. And how many of us around here falls into that category!? : )

Hi All, Long time, no visit. I acquired a Yamaha G3 grand piano last year, and have not spent much time with the DAW since. Just having way too much fun playing, and marveling at the expressiveness and presence of this amazing instrument after playing digitals for 30 years! I've not yet endeavored to record the Yamaha (it's downstairs, far from my desktop DAW), so what I'm sharing here was recorded from a Roland RD-700NX. I mostly did this just to capture the MIDI before I forget how to play it as sometimes happens when I improvise something and then don't get back to it for a while. Like most of my stuff, this will probably evolve over time to have a distinct intro, more variations in chord voicing and rhythm, and maybe a proper'bridge' section, but I think it stands up pretty well as is. Double points if you can hear the MIDI editing 'cheat'. ;^) Cheers, Dave

One of first my internet collabs from 19 years ago, IIRC Sonar 6. I replaced the drum track, removed the Waves DX versions & remixed using new plugins.

They're kinda heavy on percussion so I don't think any of them could tune a fence post.

The video either means yes or he went nuts. Too early to pick a winner.

Tape 24, 80 - sounds really nice!

I love the fact I can do all my lane edits with more confidence, especially now the comping can be turned off for the smart tool, so I don't comp by accident. My guitar playing has really gone south due to lack of practice, so I'm finding myself recording things in phrases much more often than I used to. Being able to build a track up with each phrase (or multiple takes of a phrase) in different lanes is fantastic.

Blades, I use comping all the time. Great feature. But I do know that you and others have expressed a desire for a more 'Layer' workflow. To be honest, it's been so long since I messed with Layers I really have no idea what it use to be like. That said, there were times that I wished I could work on clips in Take Lanes the way I could on a regular trk. And from what I can tell, that's exactly what I can do now, work on clips in take lanes just like it's a regular trk! It's really the best of both worlds in my opinion. : ) What I do is record all my takes that I want. Then after I can comp straight away, or go to the new Smart Tool Options and turn off the Comp Tool and work them takes just like they were on a regular trk. Split, copy, paste, stretch, group, drag copy, drag multiple clips, drag copy multiple clips, drag copy multiple clips to new project, and on and on! I love it! This is the best I have seen this. Ever since this came out I have been working with it and am really satisfied with the results. This is a keeper for sure. I hope this has given you some guidance. If you need more info I will try to help as best I can.

Same here Fleer. My account level is "Cheapskate".

I've only messed around with InstaChord for a few minutes, but as someone that has played guitar for over 25 years and only spent hours with a Keyboard.....it seems like a good tool for individuals that lack keyboard skills and knowledge to easily play more complicated chords with a more realistic feel. Altering the timing of when each note is hit within a chord that is played takes a bit of time on the "programming side" and quickly switching between some complicated chords (and strum/picking) style patterns takes actual dedication to learning the instrument. To me, tools like this are aimed a little more directly at the non-keyboard players that still want to get some of those parts down, or the experienced keyboard players that want to better simulate guitar parts. I think the Youtuber's I watched fall into the latter that rave about it. The "guitar voicings" with picking patterns certainly gives a feel that from a keyboard player perspective is more difficult to pull off. Those of us that have played guitar for 20+ years, sit here and think, well it doesn't sound that authentic and wouldn't that be easy to play on guitar? That is the crux of a plugin like this, to assist in an area where one's skill might lack in a area. For me, I likely don't have a lot to gain from the guitar voicing piece, but do have something to gain from the Keyboard voicing and chord + action programming. Will see how that works out when I actually invest time with it. Just as I use EZ Keys on occasion to work out an idea from a different perspective. It is easy to fall into ruts when you play an instrument (such as guitar) for a long time and nothing feels new or interesting.

Awesome video, music and tones. Very cool transition @325 as well as outro...awesome.??

MUCH better choice IMO!

OK this is fixed too. Thanks for reporting it. Alright, no more bugs!!! We're shipping it now ?

Excellent moody sounds and nice photos. Space nut's dream come true and then very nice melodies

Great song nice visual's, I picked a fine time to stop taking L.S.D.?

The thing about Cakewalk being free is that no matter what DAW people like to use, it's almost certain CbB will have features their DAW doesn't have. So it's worth downloading and becoming familiar with it. For example, I don't know of any program that can do the "drag a piece of music to the tempo track to analyze the tempo changes" function, or does virtual instrument upsampling (or mix recall). The biggest issue with CbB has always been reliability. For example I needed to do something with Waves plug-ins last night, and simply could not get all of them to show up (and for the ones that did, CbB insisted on showing only the 32-bit version). I'll keep trying, but had to switch over to another DAW that handles them without difficulty to complete the task. So I think it's important the developers keep trying to nail down the loose ends, and make the most of what's already in there, before adding too much bling.

Oh Shure dangle a fred like this in front of me knowing I can't resist This is a true story sad but every word a fact I can no longer wear my speedos It was because of the following incident of which I to this day have trouble dealing with One day I was at the beach trying to find a lady friend but wasn't having any luck at all. I was wearing jeans and a shirt so I must have looked out of place. I ran into an old friend by the water that I knew never had any problems finding girl friends so I stopped and asked him for advice. He wisely suggested I go to the Swim Shop right away and buy a speedo 2 sizes too small! Then go buy a potato and put it in there. HE guaranteed me it works every time! So I did all that. I thought this is great! I even felt like a babe magnet! Feeling empowered I commenced strutting my stuff up and down down the beach and getting looks from EVERYONE. I thought it was working but people looked at me disgusted or just laughing as I went by. I thought somethings just not right so I found my friend again and asked what the hell everyone’s laughing at me for? My friend looked me right in the eye and said "DUDE, you’re supposed to put the potato in the front”

Just reading through all this - as a very basic user I don't understand most of it but what has really made an impact is the responsiveness of the development team to people's comments and issues. Customer service at its best I reckon. I'll probably wait until the issues mentioned are ironed out in the next release / hotfix as I don't even know what the functions referred to are. I'm just happy to be know that the team are on it! ?

I had a thought for my Sound on Sound column on CbB...it's great that CbB is free, but it doesn't include the instruments that were in Platinum. Given the money you save from not having to buy CbB, and the uncertainty over when/if any instruments would be re-introduced in a Cakewalk store, it seems like it would make sense to buy Reason, ReWire it into CbB, and use it as a synth/sampler/drum computer backline for CbB. Although it might seem using ReWire is obvious, there are some fine points and those would be the subject of the column. Thoughts? Worth doing?

Latest Eventide Elevate Mastering Bundle updates Not sure when previous updates were release but I checked recently (around May23rd) and at that point v1.5.7 was the latest**. There's now been 3 Windows updates since then and 2 for Mac. **of course I could have just missed seeing them....

At least we skate ?

This was addressed in the early access release of the hotfix. Did you not install it? The final release is now available as well.

Thank you !

My guess is you used default installs. If this is the case, the installers will tell you where the plug-ins are located. There are a couple of common locations already mentioned in the thread but VST2 plug-ins have no formal standard install path. VST3 provides a standard location but most if not all of the plug-ins you list as missing are VST2. iLok should matter as long as the plug-ins show they are activated in the iLok License Manager. Hopefully you remembers to deactivate the the plug-ins that stored their licenses on the computer as this is a new install requiring new activations. The dongle won't have that problem.

In this case, it was a bad path added to the scan path. The scanner was trying to load every dll under "C:\Program Files." This is guaranteed to cause all kinds of problems. There may be a few extra dlls in the normal VST scan path but if there are a lot, this is a good indicator the scanner is looking in folders that should not be in the scan path.

Very nice! I have a question...since I'm not a rocket scientist! How do they transmit "images" and "information" back to Earth from 4 billion miles away through the "vacuum" of space? This has always puzzled me. You obviously can't use "Radio Waves" because they require "air", or any other "standard technology", so what technology do they use that allows them to send and receive "messages" over the vast distances of space? The ONLY thing I can think of that could possibly do this is "digital transmission" using high powered lasers, but, what do I know? As I stated "I'm not a rocket scientist" ?

Or 40% off in the December Wish List?

But we’re very different in that way, Zo. You’re a master engineer. I’m a dilettante.

.... one I just made up ... Kenny

The Izotope deal stole my thunder for this one.

Yes indeed! 18 usd for Electric Cello and 28 each for Claire Flute and Clarinet doesn’t seem too shabby.

Strangely satisfying. I like it!

Nice one, Kenny. The most fun you can have on an elevator with your clothes on. ;^) Glad this happened to be on the 'front page' when I checked in today. Your friend, Dave

Well done, Larry. No excuses necessary. A thoroughly excellent effort, and enjoyable listen. Chapeux!

Cool, great lyrics and I like the old style keys, makes me think of Jazzy Jeff.

Rex, this is not what I was expecting to hear from you, but I like the way you handled this style. Unpredictability is a great asset for any songwriter, and you didn't let me down. I'm looking forward to your next hit!

Ah I see, talking about "Files of type" of the file open dialog window on Cakewalk. Yes, .midi extension is filtered out. It's a problem. I believe it should be fixed easy.

RexRed pop rap? whatever, I really like it. voc needs maybe reverb esp to emphasize certain words

Thanks for the info. I asked Uncle E from JRR and he says "many customers have been using it to upgrade from MPB2 and it has worked fine for them" which is not quite saying that it qualifies, but............... I wasn't interested at $299 but might have to consider breaking into the piggy bank for $125.

Yep, all installed and running. One MPS 2.1 serial in my account. Doesn’t say upgrade or crossgrade, just says MPS 2.1 and I’m thinking the serial you get registers anyway, whatever’s in your account that may or may not qualify. In the end, though, if they would check later on, I guess you’d better be sure to live up to whatever condition the reseller states when you purchased, which, in JRR’s case, is owning an advanced iZotope product.

Sweet deal indeed. Thanks, JRR and Uncle E, for making it a smooth purchase process. I’m ready to play.

I find that the iZotope Portal, even with their instant 'wait! here's a coupon' always costs me significantly more than JRRShop or other discounters. The same $125ish deal mentioned in the OP is $141.55 on iZotopes Product Portal (that's with a 5% off coupon offered when they got worried about my procrastinating to purchase). Hopefully YMMV, but I've stopped even looking there except to get a base price reference.

This is very useful feedback, because even though it's only two responses, my sense is that they're representative. The bottom line is that ReWire lets you treat an entire DAW as a plug-in. Larry, the reason "why you would want to know" would be more relevant if you didn't have Platinum, because CbB has very limited software synths. But by writing one check and getting Reason, via ReWire it would essentially become a "super plug-in" within CbB. You'd have a basic sampler along with a quite sophisticated one, a killer modular synth, killer normalized synth, unique Graintable synthesizer, "drum designer" on a level similar to Studio One's Impact XT or NI's Battery, TR-808-style drum machine, virtual analog synth, eight-track REX file playback machine, something similar to the Cakewalk Sound Center for more conventional sounds, and a whole bunch of effects. All of these would feed into CbB's mixer, just as if they were conventional soft synths, and be triggered by CbB's MIDI tracks. Kurre, I feel your pain but the reason it didn't work is because Reaper and CbB are both host-only. ReWire needs a host, and a client to ReWire into the host. Some programs are host only, some client only, and a very few are both (Ableton Live is the only one that comes to mind). So an article on what ReWire is and how to use it would have saved you time. I'm beginning to think this is worth pursuing, so thanks for your feedback. FWIW Sweetwater also seems to think that most users don't understand the advantages of ReWire...if people knew how ReWire worked, the ones who don't like CbB's staff view could use Presonus Notion, a notation program that also works as a client. Granted, ReWire can't be as tightly integrated into a program as something that's in the program's DNA, but that's how Studio One gets around needing to incorporate notation.
