In my dealings with him Eric has always seemed to me like he's on my side instead of his own if that makes sense - if a deal can be done, he'll find it way to make it happen. Hope they get this sorted soon. Oh, wait a minute now..........................JRR's missing, Larry's missing.......... Has anyone ever seen them both in the same room?

With code SUMMERTUNES the library is 40% off until July 31, so $13.80 instead of $23 https://www.luftrum.com/luftrum10

This borders on Larryesque. Well done!

It's been over 2 years now since BandLab picked up SONAR and dusted it off and returned it to life as Cakewalk. Along the way it acquired a lot of long-requested what I call "convenience" features, things that aren't that flashy, but that greatly improve ease-of-use of the program on a daily basis. I'd put things like the Ripple Edit Button, Smart Tool configurability, note value display in Piano Roll and Staff View, Channel Strip colors, etc. in that category. Recently, though, we saw the introduction of a major new feature, the Arranger Track. Quite powerful feature with many possible uses. One issue I've run into, and it's a luxury problem to be sure, is that I've never used a DAW with one. My suggestion: Cakewalk has never updated the demo projects it ships with. Considering the ephemeral nature of popular music, 2 1/2 years is a long time. I'm pushing 60 and I'm not even into exactly the same kind of music I was when I first started using CbB. I've shifted more in the direction of EDM production styles, less so the traditional rock band format. So how about we get at least one new demo project, one that utilizes the Arranger Track? I don't know how this was done in the past, if Cakewalk, Inc. put out a call for submissions with the winners getting compensation and exposure, but, however, it can be done again. I would like to use the Arranger Track to the fullest extent of its capability, but frankly, I've never had a DAW that had one before and I'm not sure what all I can do with it. Demo projects are good for things like that.

I think you might do as others and just add StudioOne 5 to your arsenal. Now that Notation is built-in I will probably get it but on "Black Friday". No rush at the moment. I'm still learning version 4. Stinks getting older and having brain-farts. ?

I think they charge by the knob.

Pink Cadillac ... nah, you want a six-wheeled pink Rolls Royce: And a tune:

Me also too

Just do it! LOL! Then get this sound pack from Luftrum, https://www.luftrum.com/luftrum10 For $23, that is an amazing upgrade!

even whilst on holiday he's still way, way ahead

Also move Jamstix to the top of the list.

Hello , I have been very curious about how many members this forum has , and from what regions or countries. I think it is very cool to present a problem and have it resolved in a matter of minutes from someone half way around the planet. I think a running count with regions posted somewhere on this forum would be an interesting addition. Later ... mark

I have recently purchased an Apollo x8p and this is my first mix on the unit and I would value your thoughts and comments. This song was written by @Grem and played by @Simeon Amburgey and sung by myself. If the comments are good I will change the sound track to the video. Thanks again. Gary P.s. I have two songs that I have promised people I would record for them on here... but I needed to learn what I was doing with the new equipment first.

Well hi chaps , after taking on board all the great tips (thank you all once again) I re-mixed the song hopefully giving the pre chorus a bit more of a uplift adding guitare tamborine and a better organ , i didnt what to overdo it so I think is just slightly better cheers PB

Durham UK. Been a cake user since Cakewalk Apprentice came free with a Soundblaster card in the early 1990s. Went through the cake audio programmes to Cake Pro 9 which to me was the best ever along with the Sounblaster Live card. What a dynamic duo they were too. I lost touch in the early Sonar days preferring to stick with Pro 9. Had a few years off then got back into the latter products but never fully mastered them (or had enough time). Have had CbB for a few weeks now and just getting the hang of it hence my frequent requests for assistance on this forum which is greatly appreciated guys.

Your insignia looks a lot like this: I know it's a marketing gimmick, appealing to some of the heavy metal crowd, but still........ I enjoy watching a supernatural or satanic movie every now and then but I wouldn't be painting the Sigil of Baphomet or it's likeness on my acoustic or electric guitar and neither would I buy a guitar VST with that on it. I don't know how you can say you are Orthadox Christians yet produce a product with that on it. Actions speak louder than words. Can't you just change it into a mysterious looking triangle shape since triangles would be compatible with your Cabal title being mysterious and intriguing like the Bermuda Triangle. It's annoying because I am interested in buying Guitar VST's and then having to write a company off because of that. If your thinking of branching into more mainstream avenues like pop then it might be worth thinking about changing it. Just providing some feedback.

Fleer not, splendid caveat to have ?

Well, it should have Noire. I'm just concerned that now that they have ultimate and collectors edition, some of the better stuff will end up there. Well, there is always the half off sales. I can wait.

I have this one. It’s a good one, especially for adding subtle colour and saturation. Beautiful harmonics when turned on slightly. I use it on vocals sometimes. It’s very subtle though. Recommended for harmonic coloration.

Wow! The three of you really did a fine job here. Boy howdy, I get that. I think the mix is working... ? ? tom

I have several versions of the three files (z3ta+.dll, z3ta+_fx.dll, z3ta+_fx2.dll) on my PC. For one set, they are all 984 KB. Another set ranges from 1,318 KB to 1,320 KB.

Me too!

Yep. And I like it. Quite powerful sound. But now I want the Cinematic add-on ...

Thanks Andy. If you love something enough you'll get good at it and the long old road is worth every step. emeraldsoul thank you: My keyboard is a touch sensitive (an absolute prerequisite for any serious pianist) Yamaha S90. The piano sound is Komplete's "Giant" which i programmed to "All that Jazz" Interesting to note that Keith Jarrett nearly cancelled that 1975 concert as the piano was not up to scratch and he had back problems at the time: the magic of serendipity! However, it remains one of the best selling jazz albums of all time.

Hi and welcome.... Many thanks for the clarification!

This is just the type of song Ialyways wanted to write and record but you beat me to it so I`m bloody mad , really great vocals , the whole thing was really moving thank you so much once again great song and production

I can only endorse the views of others - this was great first time around and this is even better. For me, it just lifts the vocals slightly and there's a little more separation in the mix. Great work all round - one of those songs that thumps you right in the chest. Andy

And here I thought I was an optimist. You're like the kid in a barn full of sh*t who's happy because he's sure with all that sh*t there's gotta be a pony in there somewhere.

I feel the same way. Positive grid is 90% marketing. They basically ignore users after purchase. Wish I never bought in.

In a word, No. Personally I think that it's all about creativity and experimentation, not tradition or standardization. However: understanding what each FX does to the signal can suggest sensible cascades. For example, a compressor evens out the sound and usually goes first in the chain... except you might want to EQ the signal first, at which point the compressor may behave differently (and vice-versa). But neither sequence (EQ>Comp vs Comp>EQ) is necessarily more correct. In the case of reverberations, typically you might put the reverb last in the chain, to simulate an acoustic space. But then, you might need to EQ that so that it "sits in the mix" even though technically you are messing with the acoustic space simulation. But the classic exception would be the Gated Reverb: Hugh Padgham discovered that putting a gate after the reverb can be very musical in some situations (DRUMSSHHHH. ) TLDR: It depends

I blame it on Reaper...

Colors are theme dependent. In this image the first 2 are 64bit VST2 plug-ins the 3rd is a 32bit VST2 plug-ins the last is a DX plug-in

I heard this the other day on BL. Interesting; has both an organic & synthetic vibe . Enjoyed it.

Ford = Lincoln..

Hi Wookiee - as always very creative - your stuff seems to have a futuristic quality to it. Well done.

Hi Wookie, Very space age + wouldn't be out of place in an episode of Dr Who. It has a relentless energy which drops for a while then returns. Thanks for sharing. Good Job! regards paul

Chose for exemple chain 2 , then select stereo instead of mono (before the tuner box ) ... then be sur to select amp B and cab B to and copy / past from A settings once selcted the right amp and cab , a simple duplicate button would have been killa , but i really hoe Amplitube 5 will make setero easier ...i leterrally bougth every other brand for that matter since i amp synths , voices ect ...

BOOM Library is celebrating 10 years and have marked their Cinematic Metal bundle (includes both the designed and full construction kit) to $10 https://www.boomlibrary.com/sound-effects/cinematic-metal/ Not sure I need 4000+ metal impact sound effects, but I couldn't pass up the discount. Their site also seems to indicate their will be other celebration deals.

If you have a iOS/iPadOS device, there's plenty fun to be had. If you're not apt with keyboard instruments and/or theory, ChordMaps2 is great. I can name more apps if anyone cares.

SongWish's reMIDI and Squaredheads' Nora are quite interesting "sequencer" VSTs, that basically let you plug in MIDI files and then allow you to "key-shift" that MIDI data in real time. Both have demo/trial versions available.

Plugins like AAS Strum GS2 are great because a couple of random notes on the keyboard can give you a chord progression you might not otherwise have come up with. EZ Keys as well. Contests, particularly remix contests, are also great because they force you to come up with ideas that are not obvious.

Zillion CAL files from my archive (including editor and utilities). CALeditor.zip CAL Scrripts(1).zip

HI:) This can be done, but it would be difficult for all chord progressions (major, minor, seventh ......) and which key and which inversion. Easier to input the ground note and make then the choid of it with a selection of the progression and inversion. I think I can write such a CAL. I'm prohibited to work at the moment(especially my teaching lessons), so I do have time for such things? Perhaps let's start with just Major and Minor Chords and its inversions.... Bassman. P.S. Here's the link to the chords CALs, I think we can perhaps use this and make a new and better one.... https://www.hexachord.net/chords/

My favorite is AIR Technology's DB-33, which Pluginboutique currently has on sale for $14. Among its charms is that it lets you use the Leslie emulation as a standalone VST effect.
