Cakewalk doesn't need to steal your music, we have record companies for that

This is the first of something that we hope to do every other week. It was put together by Samuel Törnqvist, a Swedish composer, and Simeon and I found out about it through VI:Control. I don't know about you, but I work all by myself in front of the computer. So I don't just come here to find out about deals. It's very nice to be in touch with people who share my interest. So it was nice to hear during this podcast about how the other people got involved with music and using virtual instruments. And a particular honor to get to know Simeon a little bit, because I'm a superfan. It's pretty long, but if you have some time, check it out. ? (FYI, I designed the logo.)

Hey, it’s Brian May, not July or August.

Using the tape algos that we do on this leads to some really nice lo-fi sounds. Some of the audio demos are pretty "crunchy" and/or "fluttery" etc. Though many are played by Luca Zabbini so they're also impeccably played which doesn't help ?

Run the IK Program Manager to update

Or go nuts - feed the output of Riffer into Chordjam and see what comes out ?

Lol. If playing is the criteria, all of my sounds would be considered lo fi. ?

If you are that paranoid and mistrustful of software its on you to enforce your requirements, not the companies making the software. Its simple to set up a firewall block that prevents internet access to a specific program. Learn how to do that.

Latest issue of Computer Music is now out, and this month’s plugin is Tone2 Filterbank3. Be warned, it’s only 32 bit on Mac, 64 bit is available on PC. RRP $79 https://on.readly.com/s/GB!Dr73W8v44x7

I think a more valuable upgrade is from Editor to Studio. Imo, it's a real game changer to be able to see and edit multiple tracks in the same view.

Riffer is single note "melody" or "riff" oriented. This is chord oriented. I will certainly take a look at this one, as I have a large collection of MIDI tools that I depend on to prop up my "creativity"? . Scaler 2 is top of the heap in this (chord based) category, IMHO. I have both AudioModern's Riffer and Playbeat, and while I have gotten some great output from them, they are truly random generators, without the ability to apply any harmonic (other than scale) or meter based rules to kind of reign in the random creation to more musical output (like Captain Suite or Orb Producer, for example).

Up next after the Illuminati. Do me next. To be fair, people are getting more and more sensitive to these privacy issues. Its not unfounded but I don't see Cakewalk being at the center.

It is possible to extend the range of SI-Bass with a little modification to the sfz files.

The best part is that he had to edit it! ?

^^^What he said... Waves only cares about the "Waves Price After any valid discount"...so what you paid at EveryPlugin, like Koby said, is irrelevant. Sounds like you had a crap rep to deal with....and they're out there. They think that they are doing the company a favor by "berating you", but as you said, it's the exact opposite!

The plugin menu changes in this release are awesome! This alone was worth a new release. Plug-in menu improvements Plug-in menus have been greatly enhanced to make it easier and faster to find and select plug-ins: Plug-in menus show color coded plug-in types (DX/VST2/VST3/32 bit) Large plug-in menus can now show over 1,000 plug-ins Multiple columns appear when applicable Clearer fonts Supports mouse wheel scrolling Supports keyboard navigation: HOME / END PAGE UP / PAGE DOWN Press any alpha-numeric key to go to the first plug-in beginning with that character; press the same character again to go to the next plug-in, etc. Here's a screen shot from my system. Thank you Bakers!

Some absolutely fascinating opinions you have there mate … … and so much more insightful that the usual drivel ?

@NoelBrutonMusic your concerns are unfounded. You do not need bandlab’s permission every time you use the application. Where did you read that information? This is how it works: You sign in to BandLab to activate the software once when you first install it Activation is required generally once every 6 months unless something drastic changes on your system like you changed the version of windows or something. In the latest release it refreshes your activation lease automatically when needed to save the user from unexpected discovery of a timeout The lease is automatically renewed when you log in to BandLab, when you install a new version of the software and of course if its about to expire. This only happens if there is an internet connection available. If you don’t want your system to be online you have to handle activation manually using the offline activation workflow. Previously BandLab assistant was used for activation. This changed in the 2020.11 release and everything is done inside CbB now which makes things much simpler for the user. Now users only need to sign in ONCE to Cakewalk and from that point activation is handled automatically when needed as long as you don’t sign out of BandLab of course. Its as unobtrusive as it gets and very standard to how everyone in the industry does this. The changes were in fact made to improve things for users who got the activation timeout messages.

Well it's certainly "pro" enough for me! I gave up on Cakewalk after the Gibson thing because I was a so-called "Lifetime Member" with SPLAT. I was so ticked I could have spit nails. 4 years later, it doesn't seem so bad and honestly, I miss using SONAR so here I am. Again.

Hi Chaps , here´s a demo not quite ready for mixdown but ready enough for critique and constructive input , its a song inspired by a netflix documentary of the town ``Flint Michigen´´ it was concieved way before the BLM movement - campagne so I´m not trying to jump on any political bandwagon , this is something different for me so ..erm give it a go ..its a fictional story of good people trying to do their best ......... cheers paul

Not seeing it for $39.95. Seem like it is $47.00 now. Unless there is a coupon other than GROUP or FORUM that exists. Edit: Nevermind. It is $39.95 when I add it to the cart.

Philip Bailey’s fonky 2!

The loops can be found in the Bandlab Assistant. Sounds|Loops|Packs|Steve Jackson Drums. You'll find it. You have to do some precision editing to make them work as loops. Good luck!

If needed, Koby always helps out. He’s like my guardian angel in Waves land. But I still thoroughly dislike WUP.

Guys from European Union of the Deaf? But seriously, if stealing other people's ideas wasn't relatively common, there'd be no patent laws in existence. And certainly no copyright institutions like US Copyright Office and its equivalents in other countries.

Cool ! I Very much enjoyed it. Maybe the addition of an 60's old style keyboard track would be my only suggestion . mark

No, I didn't. It's pretty normal that software disappears from the market, and that's exactly why periodical activation scheme is so dangerous. Once such an app is gone users can't work on their projects anymore, even if they still have suitable OS and hardware. And that's a good reason to consider introducing permanent Cakewalk licenses (be it paid ones), at least for those, who don't like the vision of waking up with an empty bottle on the desert someday.

So now they pull them out, piece by piece …

So here is a livestream where I ran through a lot of the Keysuite instruments: 00:34:14 ACOUSTIC | Austrian Grand 00:35:30 Playing The Austrian Grand And I do agree that I am so glad that they are now making this available as a standalone, instead of exclusive to the Keysuite package. Enjoy!

I guess you missed the point, which is: how can you be sure that any software is going to be around forever?

Sheesh, I don't know. How can we be sure Word Perfect will continue development so we can continue to work on our projects in the future? Oh, yeah....

I didn't even know Hornet made a plugin that expensive! ?

That's a convenient way for offline users, indeed, but it doesn't answer the question of activation requirement per se, in case BandLab is (knock on wood) dead someday. Or if they drop Cakewalk's developement for whatever reason. I mean, how can we be sure that we'll be able to work on our projects later on?

For the record, I didn't think it was you, or your story, that was b.s. and thank you for your explanation! I thought it was b.s. how you were treated, being charged a fee under a non-existing contract clause. That's total b.s. !!! And now for something more suitable, yet still related:

No changes needed for CbB 2021.04 Update 1 ?, so it's totally compatible::.

Well you know what, even though Cakewalk ported some features for P5 over into Sonar, they apparently lost some of the vital "magic sauce" in the process. P5 V2 was a product ahead of it's time, and it even appears that Bitwig Studio "borrowed" the in-line "Groove Matrix" GUI design, which Sonar and CbB both lack. Yes, Sonar and CbB have a matrix view, but is located in another panel. Bitwig Studio has a similar GUI design for their in-line "Clip Launcher Panel". That company was started by some former Ableton Live developers. For those not familiar, Live has had a Clip Launcher as far back as I can remember, but it is a completely separate view from the arrangement view. Bitwig Studio, and even Acoustica Mixcraft have an in-line launcher now, that lines up with their track, or arranger view. As far as I know, Cakewalk P5 was the first to offer this feature.

They just need to add EZguitarist and EZsinger and we can all pack up and go home
