I saw the news around 5 AM this morning and it broke my heart. As many have mentioned Cory was the YouTuber that we all were inspired to become. His no nonsense approach and ethics were the traits we respected and admired. Putting yourself out there is exhilarating but also at times exasperating and exhausting in so many ways, especially mentally. It is so easy for us to see someone on their channel and make judgements about them, who we think they are when in reality as is all too true in this case, there is so much more going on. As in Cory’s case battles and pain occurring that the depth would break even the best of us. Praying for his family and loved ones, as well as the broader community who are dealing with losing a friend who for the majority of us have never met but made a connection that affected us in a profound and positive way. May we all be more compassionate and reach out to those who we feel are going through a struggle. Even the smallest word of encouragement can be such a powerful way to help someone. Simeon

Midnight_Show_MP3_1.mp3 Had a little mess tonight, i should do something with it....

I never go anywhere else on the Cakewalk site. This is the forum I go to and these are the friends I post for. I've talked to Larry about this and he is much more about friendship than deals. He posts the deals to help his friends. He cares about the people here. I do too. Why would I post for people I don't know? I bet a lot of people are just like me and only come here. People are constantly posting informational stuff here like Kontakt updates and software updates. It's not deals--it's just information that's useful to our community. We want our friends to know. For some reason, it is different when I post the same kind of thing. The passing of Cory is a huge deal for this community. Historic. We make our decisions on what a good deal is through the generosity of people like Cory and Simeon. The idea that a good deal is the lowest price is ridiculous. A good deal is for the best software at the right price. Please let's all end the drama and continue to remember this sensitive beautiful man who helped us all so much. R.I.P. Cory.

It's already been mentioned here: The 1928 Steinway freebie was announced on Bedroom Producers Blog, where they mentioned that it's only for limited time. And usually, when it's on BPB, it's official.

Remember you can get Freezr FREE with any purchase: if you already have their other apps, you might consider buying an expansion pack.

Dave Overland sings on this one. One of my favorite songs from the Revolver album. I used the Capitol Compressor on the mix buss - what a great plugin - the saturation knob does wonders I think. I also sent vocals to the ReelADT plugin from waves and the Hitsville reverb chambers from UA. https://baselines.com/?p=6931

Actually, that's not far from the initial SMS response I got from our singer after I sent her Craig's link. We have a running in-joke about how she's easily distracted by shiny things. I have explicitly instructed her to not turn around while on stage, lest we risk her getting getting befuddled by the visuals. Fortunately, as a longtime professional myself, I can be counted on to remain laser-focused on the important stuff: girls in short skirts on the dance floor.

Same here. The first song I learned to play on guitar without having the music in front of me was Misery. Lol. Second was Anna. I was 10 or 11. I had The Pocket Beatles paperback book with all the lyrics and chords. I used to wedge it under the front edge of our big tube TV to keep it open so I could play and read it. The binding separated and all the pages fell out eventually from jamming it under there. I picked up a CD at a record shop one time. Ritchie's in fact, when he was in The Pocono's in PA. long before he moved out by you. The Beatles at The BBC. I think it was an import but I may be wrong. I don't think you could ever get it here in the U.S. from a retail store. It was a 2 or 3 CD set iirc. That set paints a whole different picture of them. It sounds like a studio recording but I think it was actually live. He also had a ton of bootlegs on CD. Somewhere, somehow, over the years, somebody got a ton of their studio tapes and put them on CD. He had a 10 disc set of nothing but studio banter and starts and stops of them doing takes. He wanted too much for them and I never got them. He did let me borrow a couple to listen to for a few days to try and entice me to buy them. I was pissed. I never could get my SCSI CD drive to rip and burn. ???. To this day I cringe when someone mentions scuzzy (SCSI) drives. One of the spots on that bootleg CD that sticks out in my mind was, the recording engineer got pissed off at them for goofing off and you hear him yell at them, "TAKE FOUR!!!". I also had quite a few bootleg LPs. Lost them all when my basement flooded one time. Had them in cardboard boxes on the floor. Because of that, to this day, I will not store anything on my basement floor unless it's in those big plastic totes. I keep most stuff on those metal racks with the bottom shelf removed so I can slide the plastic totes under it. If anything happens the water has to get at least 18" up before anything gets touched and at that pointn ou got bigger problems than just your basement flooding. Lol. Of course I got blamed for the flooding. Iowa weather is very unpredictable. We had an early freeze one fall and I left the garden hose out because I was still using it. It froze, broke, then thawed and we didn't know it. Of course, my reply was, well you're too cheap to go let me get the sump pumps to put in the sump pump pits we paid the concrete guy an extra $2,000 dollars to put in and run drain tile from out in to the ****ing yard Mrs. Scrooge. Ah memories. Good times. Good times.

Still showing as free for me... Also says "This pack is free to download untill the end of Sunday!" So maybe they extended it.

You got that right!

I had never run across his channel before and am listening to his most recent release on BandCamp now. The songs and lyrics have a whole added weight and solemness that I didn't expect. I notice he dedicated the song Winter to Robin Williams too... I sincerely hope he's found a place of peace. So very sad. https://corypelizzari.bandcamp.com/album/after-night

Apple doesn’t suck at all. I made over $2,000 so far as an early purchase stock holder. Too bad I can’t afford them now. I love Apple! It will help me pay for my new PC! And I hate to say it but I also love my iPhone. It’s 10 year old and still works. My wife has been through 3 Android phones in the same time span. When it dies I don’t think I can afford to upgrade. But maybe my Apple stocks will pay for it. Apple is still a plug and play with a lot of audio interfaces and software. The price is a total rip off but obviously that doesn’t stop sales.

Zebra 3 and Synthmaster 3 would make pretty pretty good Christmas!

On the other hand, if you update some libraries (e.g. Noire), they will no longer work in Kontakt 6, only Kontakt 7.

Very sad news, indeed. Almost everyone I know has been affected in some way by some type of mental illness within their circle of family and friends. We need to do better.

(Thank you @PavlovsCat ) Yes, I wrote to them. The short story is that on their website, there was a page that I found on Google and that after logging in, it gave me vouchers. That way, I acquired some cheaper libraries. I mentioned it in this forum and another user warned me that this could be a mistake, so that user and I decided to write to them to tell them. Instead of thanking me, they banned me, but since I had paid for several libraries, I responded that they should give me access or refund my money. At first they did nothing, but after threatening them, they returned the money I had paid on their website. About the libraries that I had paid through other stores, I had to talk to those stores and fix the situation with them. An incredible story that makes Karanyi the worst company in the sector that I know of. For me, that company sucks

I didn't realise they were based in Huddersfield! Used to visit there often when we lived in Bradford.

The free libraries are available on Pulse Audio and some of them also on Pianobook. Some more details on this video:

Forgetful Dictator is now permanently free on Steam. See first post for details.

I've shared with everyone here in the past that this company does weird things behind the scenes I'm banned, my account is blocked when I try to log in, but I can get/buy the freebies Banned, but I'm still subscribed to your newsletter, they didn't unsubscribe from me and I can't unsubscribe either. They do not respect data protection, and I think they are not respecting the laws with this Freebies are a blessing to all of us, but they do strange things for a company like this and in short, they are a company to avoid in my opinion and experience

Back in the days, I was so anxious to put my hands on anything by The Beatles that even poor audio quality recordings such as the ones on this record would be played constantly. I learned every track on that thing because we always needed more songs when we played weddings and ballrooms and such. Much of it they eventually recorded on their first few albums but there were a few odd numbers that never made it on any official record. And I was still discovering their official discography, anyway. In many cases, it was the first time I was exposed to those songs (Be-Bop-A-Lula comes to mind). I thought it was amusing because a lot of material was stuff that The Beatles themselves had learned because they needed to play for hours every night back then. Man, I love the Beatles. They weren't even around anymore when I was born and I feel I owe them so much.

So today we have launched our Eleventh Album – it’s called Kiss of Storms. And the first track off our new album is the title track, Kiss of Storms. Hope you enjoy it. You can see the lyrics here https://devinelie.com/kiss-of-storms/kiss-of-storms/ And the whole album is available on Spotify https://open.spotify.com/album/27iKYYjlWOT2Ku0ltzSEKB We’ve updated our website as well – we’ve got our own store now where you can get music and merchandise!! https://devinelie.com

Hello , Here's an acoustic song I wrote quite awhile back . It's about living on my boat on the Tennessee river and compairing it to the gulf. I never took the time to record it , but I've played it a good bit at solo gigs. I'm in the final mix /master stage and think it's getting close , but I always want fresh ears on a song for suggestions. Thank You for listening .. mark Final mix .. https://soundclick.com/share.cfm?id=14682410

In my case, it took some time, but I received it with the subject line [Your Blueprint Order Links]. It seemed to be available from the ORDER ALL or ORDER NOW links. This address may also be possible. URL

Nobody is claiming the Cakewalk is bug free. But you know that. You just look for every excuse you can find to troll. There is a whole sub forum dedicated to nothing but feature requests and bug reports, what's the Bakers are more than happy to address. But vague bitching and moaning ain't going to get you anything; you have to actually document things. But you know that....

Peter Gabriel - Games Without Frontiers

Headed straight for the Am I presume?

Ouch. I might have to re-read that few times, but it seems to me it would ultimately be simpler to have a separate track per patch with forced output channels and leave both your keyboard and your expression controller on channel 1. When editing in the PRV you can show all the tracks together, and it might even be helpful that the different patches have different track colors. But if you use the staff view, separate tracks would obviously not be ideal. And it's going to drive up the total number of tracks in a template that's probably pretty huge already. I'm thinking a workable variation of your current setup would be to have one "Master MIDI IN" track with its Input set to Omni on which you set whichever forced output channel is needed at the moment. And that track outputs to a plugin that echos the MIDI for all the individual instrument tracks to receive with their respective Input channel restrictions. Possibly your existing "midiChs" could be that plugin but I like using CodeFN42's free MIDIChFilter for this purpose. Some plugins of this type introduce a slight MIDI delay, but MIDIChFilter does not. In this case, it wouldn't be changing the channel, just acting as one-to many MIDI "patch point" for the instrument tracks.

I definitely "put my back" into this one! I don't really know how to categorize this. Basically started with a beat and some ambient synth and vocal textures (all vocs except the really high voice are my voice, not synth/samples), and took off from there. Kind of ambient-beat-rock, I guess? Anyway, I really enjoyed putting this together, and I hope you enjoy listening as well! Be sure to listen through to the end to catch a fun little mash-up, "Who" might it be?? ? What we need is love indeed...

This fixed it for me with one slight change/clarification which I inserted as "3a". The words between the *s are my own observations. (I copied the rest from the old Sonar Cakewalk support pages): Cakewalk won’t launch If your program will no longer launch, you may be able to resolve the problem by forcing it to re-write some settings behind the scenes. To do so, follow these steps: 1. Hold down the Windows key on your computer keyboard, then press the R key to open the Run prompt. 2. Type in the following: %appdata%\cakewalk 3. Click OK. This opens the Cakewalk content folder in Windows Explorer *3a. Go UP one folder hierarchy level to view the folder you were just in* 4. Right-click the Cakewalk folder (*the one you were just in*) and select Rename on the pop-up menu. 5. Change the folder's name by adding the word “backup” to the end of it. For example: “Cakewalk backup”. 6. Close Windows Explorer and restart Cakewalk. 7. When prompted with the message “Cakewalk will now personalize your user settings”, click OK. (*For me at this point it just reopened without this notification but it did show that it was scanning my VST plugins which took a little bit of time and then I was good to go.*) I hope this helps.

By default project templates are installed in C:\Cakewalk Content\Cakewalk Core\Project Templates The template path used by the program is setup in preferences.
