Longtime user of Cantabile here. The developer, Brad Robinson, is very responsive and interacts with the Cantabile user base regularly. He is constantly adding features requested by professional users. His focus is reliability followed by functionality. I like his approach to licensing, you can hang with the versions available during your first year indefinitely but renew the license (upgrade price) when you want newer features. I use the software on a pair of 2013 i5-3360 Lenovo laptops with 16GB RAM and 2 TB SSD and Behringer UMC202HD's. One station is used with a converted acoustic kit into an eDRUMin and Superior Drummer at 64 buffers. The other is for synths, Hammond, Rhodes and Wurli emulations. The software instills confidence.

We have lots of stuff in the works! Over 30 Evolution-based instruments in various stages of development, several of which are close to being released. Two have already been encoded by Native Instruments for the free Kontakt Player, and it's just a matter of finishing their demos and videos. We have a couple non-Evolution libraries in development, as well as updates in the works for existing products.

I just wanted to say thanks for giving me some confidence to attempt Theme Editing. After checking out your creations, I decided to do some 'trial and error' testing. A few months later (slow learner) I finally got the hang of it. - Anyway, I just wanted y'all to know there are people who enjoy your work, and maybe don't log in to say thanks/give credit. Side note: I play piano scales every morning at 6am, and this is my theme I use for my (morning ritual) theme. (hex is 1379c9) Cheers !

And I don't want to jump through 20 hoops to get a plugin I don't need.

Short tutorial: don't do it! Best way to humanize a MIDI performance is to actually perform it by hand. Even if you don't have keyboard skills you can still subsequently fix the timing on obvious mistakes where necessary. But avoid any tool labeled "Humanize", as it is a scam. Yes, it's true that live players' timing isn't perfect, but neither is it random.

this with blackhole is my favorite eventide plugs - great for synths etc 🙂

The Jam - Down In The Tube Station At Midnight

That's exactly right. Many people simply can't afford the software and hell, even if you look at students in any university, college, audio school, they sometimes have as much pro recording and graphics, media, CAD software as some studios. Sometimes more! The point is they were never going to spend those tens of thousands of dollars, sometimes over $100K on that software at that point in time.. Even for pro studios, if they're using cracked software, then it's pretty clear to see that they're open and inclined to use pirated software at times and so unless there's a specific need to open a project someone has brought in and they can't get a cracked version, or the software is very, very niche and can't be achieved with anything else, they're also likely to find something cracked and not buy the software at that point in time. If I enter a raffle and don't win, I can't blame ticket holder 555735678 because i didn't win, as I was never guaranteed a prize. In ways piracy is similar. It's hard to claim an actual loss of a purchase that was never guaranteed to be made. If we assign that assumed loss to the company for every single pirated copy that any user has, that's completely unrealistic. Absolutely, there's not one single type of user for pirated software and there will be all sorts of variations and exceptions, but that's where the mentality of assigning a perceived dollar cost loss in every situation clearly doesn't hold any water.

This is the code given to Loopcloud subscribers for June. I posted the reference earlier in June, but not the code. I interpret the forum policy as disallowing codes intended for subscribers of paid services/magazines, based on past moderator comments and thread-locks.

Surprised nobody has mentioned this cover of an Al Green Song...

^^^This. It may be the only music forum on the web that allows for this kind of open yet tasteful discussions of sensitive topics.

This place is really exceptional. That we can discuss something like this without things degenerating is pretty amazing. I appreciate the information that has been shared.

"What We Dream". A musical coaster ride through various mood grooves. The tune progresses for six and a half minutes to an all-out pedal-to-the metal rock crescendo. On those shaky grounds I'll say this is a Progressive Rock tune, and risk 3 to 4 mins under a dunce hat if I'm way off the genre mark. Ingredients : 1991 Jackson Dinky EX Pro electric guitar (my very old friend). I ran poor old Jack through a GSP 2101 studio tube guitar signal processor. (another relic of the past) There's a good helping of a second-hand Ibanez acoustic guitar that came home with me one day back in 2011 and never left. I ran the shabby home invader back and forth through a Z3TA + and a TH3 cab, then gave him a shave. The bottom end of things I awarded to AD2 drums and SI bass, because, well, dare I say they both have very nice bottoms. In the string and key section, you'll hear a mix of Z3ta-2 and SI strings dripping through the holes in my leaky roof. The vocal department was donated by the other bum living in the house, who has toured and sang in many showers across the country, and was also nominated and awarded the coveted shower singer eviction notice award uncountable times by the prestigious academy of triggered landlords, yours truly, Dean (AKA FreeEarCandy). The lyrics and theme travel through a philosophic psychological thought trap that places a heavy conscious on the scales and concludes it weighs less than dust. The upside is I don't need a feather duster in my coocoo nest. Have a nice listen on me !!!@(~..~)@!!! FreeEarCandy.

This offer is supposed to be exclusive to Martinic Customers...hence the "martinicfriends" at the end of the ProShare website

Leave the master bus fader alone and adjust the gain at the very top of the strip in track view.

I would use Loop recording and start playback a few measures before the recording start time. You can have the metronome set or just listen to the drums (if any) in the project.

Yep. As I said 65% of all statistics are made up on the spot.

78% of all statistics are made up on the spot.

I’m still pissed off they took my 80% voucher back hahahaha.

I installed and it has not crashed Cakewalk, yet. I think it is fixed. It seems to work very well now. Time will tell.

Yes I just got the same notification ... To make a long story short I hit the learn more tab and was led to the BandLab assistant web page The link here shows where I wound up after poking around a little ..It has the answers I needed to find https://help.cakewalk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360002692134-What-is-BandLab-Assistant-Do-I-have-to-use-it- After reviewing my situation I wound up having to down load BandLab assistant ...It used to be I didn't have to have it any more so I uninstalled it ... Now it looks as if I want to continue to use Cakewalk by BandLab I have to use it once again . After installing and logging in to the BandLab Assistant I got this BandLab notification ... I left the web page up for my scree shot or It would have been just the BandLab assistant box open Where it says Cakewalk up to date I reopened Cakewalk by BandLab using the open tab I found I had been reauthorized . I wonder if anyone who want's to continue using Cakealk by Badlab will have to go back to and install the BandLab Assistant for all future re authorizations ... I suppose that may be what they have in store for all Cakewalby Band Lab when they roll out the Paid version of SONAR Kenny

Yeah, I think negative measures are a really good idea, if for nothing else to add pick up measures so that notation starts on the correct measure.

I'll also throw in just about all of Led Zeppelin's first album.

Relay can also be used as a quick dynamic track spacer to let the vocal poke through. Even if you are not using Nectar or Neutron as your effect chain. I use whatever plugin in my vocal effect chain I like I put an instance of relay on whatever instrument track or bus, I want to attenuate when the vocal is present I put Nectar last on the vocal track and run the unmask assistant with the target relay instance I have. There can be more than one and you simply run the assitant as many times as needed for all the instances of relay you have. Then I remove Nectar. Next, you create sends from the vocal track, or bus, to each of the relay's sidechain input. Switch all relays to sidechan and dynamic. You can also tweak the relays compression to your liking. You can even do the same between kick and bass guitar to duck the bass on kick hits. Nectar is easiest to setup but with little control. Neutron can be used in a similar way for more precise control since it as more functionnality to carve the overlapping frequencies, but it's more work.

I had a total nightmare upgrading from 1903 - six months of BSOD during the update, then it rolled back. Eventually, I found the cause: two drivers... 1. An old Korg driver ( I think it was the USB driver for the nanoKONTROL series) 2. An old Native Instruments ISO driver ( I think this was previously used in Windows 7 for mapping ISO files to fake drives for installing). Once I'd uninstalled these drivers, I successfully upgraded Windows 10. So basically, uninstall all unused / old drivers. You can do this from Device Manager - make sure you have "Show Hidden Devices" checked in the View menu. I found DriverView by NirSoft useful for getting a list of all drivers on the system, along with their location/filename. This way, I could rename/delete the underlying files too.

I thought I made had some reply which was ontopic, couldn't find it. Turns out this forum saves your drafts, so I have it back again. But I'm not going to post it, that ship has sailed. What I do want to mention is that I have gone 100% legit. But sometimes you watch some big youtuber do a tutorial and the use Kontakt Portable with some expensive library like Strevoz BALKAN Ethnic Orchestra. Well, you KNOW that's pirated. I mean, I sorta get it? I would like to have Project SAM Lumina, but even discounted it is a bit too much. But in the end piracy is not worth the hassle for me. The same way I stopped using Usenet for my movies and series and I got a couple of streaming services. I'm Dutch and I can confirm this. Piracy just wasn't worth it after that. Funny thing, when you pirated a DVD with some program (DVDripper?, I don't know), the pirate warning was a seperate thing in the DVD structure and removable.

I think he was talking about people that are poor, or living in poor countries, where a plugin might cost a disproportionate amount in their currency. Those people probably wouldn't ever pay, and please correct me if I'm wrong, I think the point is that those types of pirates wouldn't make too much difference to the developer, as no sales were lost. In addition, like you mentioned, some people use cracked software as a demo, especially if the company doesn't provide a legitimate trial or a money back guarantee. Those people buy the license once they test the software out. It's not only big studios that do this, individuals do it too. On the other hand, there are people who could afford the license, but they don't want to pay for it because they can get it for free. Sometimes even people with a legitimate license use cracked software if the official software has an intrusive/unreliable copy protection. I have no idea what the distribution between these different categories of pirates is since under the law, they are all illegal and it doesn't get talked about much.

I've done a mix of this song with a sprinkling of AI on the piano track that makes it sound a bit more Rick Wakeman and a bit less Les Dawson. Gone are the drums and bass on this one too. Same video as the original, more or less.

You know, with a multi-out interface like the 18i8, you can actually get quite creative with your monitoring options. Of course, it may require a lot of adapter cabling, and experience with your various devices, but options abound, since Cakewalk can use any or all of the available outputs on an I/O device like that. The key is in the routing, and your use of it. -But unless you have a real need for it - I still recommend simplest as the best. So - for instance: I currently use my 2ond headphone output as a feed for audio to an AV mixer for streaming or recording from my audio interface while using Cakewalk. That could just as well be routed to a boom box, or any other device with line input, with a bit of experimenting, and again cabling. Or, the line outputs on the 18i8 could be used that way just as well, and though I can't recommend it, even plugged back into the laptop (if it has an audio i/o jack and you get the impedances to match, etc.) audio for that lo-fi comparison (probably very lo-fi in that case!). -All of that is only experimental though - (like for when you are really bored 🤓 ), and watch out for mutli-out latency issues, of course, so again, simplest is usually best. -But sometimes it's worth the adventure! Use those multi-outs! And @charles kasler - it's great to have people that follow up on their posts! Great to learn from all these good suggestions & info here.

I am a songless Martinic customer.

Maybe we could compile a list of most-given-away commercial licenses. Quadravox, iZotope Elements (in its various forms), Ableton Live! Lite, A|A|S Sessions (in its various forms)....

I use CAL scripts for this.

Red Hot Chili Peppers - Knock Me Down:

Yeah, let us know!😃

Never start a song at zero. It’s been a long time feature request to have a negative measure at the start. Everyone starts at at least one. I’ve added count ins starting at zero using the drums rim shot and that first click is always a bit quieter.

To answer your question no you can’t use them both at the same time . You have reconfigure Cakewalk driver settings. What I do is I have a Bluetooth speaker and that can co exist with my interfaces for some reason. Not with Cakewalk playback but as said above I export the mix and use media player. I simply turn the Bluetooth speaker on and it plays. If I then turn it off Media Player returns to my interface and studio monitors. Another set up I had before was a pair of computer speakers connected to my headphone jack.

As for Disney covers....

I knew that Randy Newman wrote this song , but thought that his version came out after it was a hit with Three Dog Night. So, I looked it up and just learned that Randy Newman gave it to Eric Burdon to record first. Does that make Randy Newman's version a cover of a cover?

Is someone abusing the system again? 🤨

This week I loaded up the latest update - wasn't really straight forward and took a while, but now, for the first time in a very long time, it seems to work properly! Will be giving it a bit of a work out over the next few weeks - it would be great if it really does work properly now Nigel

I don't usually look too far outside the more business-y areas of this forum. So I open this topic and there is a photo of Richard Branson kite surfing with a naked teenaged girl clinging to his back. WTF do you guys get up to around here?

There's no need to "write" rests in the PRV. A rest is simply an absence of a note. Take the following phrase: This is how it looks like in the PRV: The PRV works in exactly the same way as an old Piano Roll Player piano does... ... i.e. it only has holes for where it has to play a note, and the length of the hole is how long the note is held down. It doesn't need to be told not to play one. Drawing a note in the PRV is the exact equivalent of the holes in a piano roll.

That statement is plainly objectively false. The term piracy originally applied to high seas theft. I suspect your issue is that this is intellectual property and not physical property, so it's a bit more complex. But it is inherently theft. Here's Websters Dictionary's related definition of "piracy": Definition 1: an act of robbery on the high seas also : an act resembling such robbery 2: robbery on the high seas 3a: the unauthorized use of another's production, invention, or conception especially in infringement of a copyright b: the illicit accessing of broadcast signals Without getting too academic, yes, because intellectual property theft in the case of software piracy isn't restricted to the original version of something that doesn't make it excluded from being theft. I believe that your real point is that damages are more severe in the case of physical property theft. I don't think it's an apples to apples comparison, and I think it greatly discounts the ethics problems with software piracy, so here is a point I'd make. And to be clear, I'm not some great champion of rampant capitalism at all costs, I am just convey, at a basic level, that piracy has impacts upon revenue, business operations, and employment, as well as touch on the fundamental ethically problematic aspects of it -- as numerous posters have referenced the ethics of pirating. So, yes, likening the magnitude of someone using a pirated copy of a plugin doesn't seem on the same scale as someone stealing your beloved personal possession. However, consider the cases of pro composers using pirated sample libraries and misusing their license resulting in a developer missing out on hundreds of thousands of dollars in revenue that would have been used to pay back investors on an orchestral sample library, the developer's employees and then there are the various independent contractors that worked on the library who often have royalty agreements that provide them a cut of sales (musicians, engineers, coders, etc). So while intellectual property theft -- which includes software piracy-- isn't identical to physical property theft, it's still theft and it has negative impacts on peoples' lives.

I really can't get my head around what Deskew are trying to achieve here. Can you imagine buying a dell laptop on sale from Amazon, you take delivery and turn it on, then a pop-up appears saying you can't download any firmware updates until you pay the difference between the price on Amazon and the Dell website? This is essentially what Deskew are asking for... absolutely crazy! It's a real shame as I've been an evangelist for this app - if you play live with VSTs it's the best solution, period. What is weird is they seem to realise they are pissing off customers who bought on a sale from PA, but don't care. I've bought version 3 and 4 in full from PA in the past, but now I'm a second class citizen and expected to stump up more cash for V4 which I've already purchased? Not exactly an inviting offer is it... Really hope they've got their sums right, it's a very niche product which is excellent at what it does, so I hope they continue to survive and do well... pissing off paying customers doesn't sound like the best approach, but hey, what do I know?
