Hi folks This one is out and out punk pop fun - Ed and me threw it together in a couple of days all told. Had a lot of fun with this one The current Mrs Daryl1968 makes a brief appearance on this one Lyrics below link Nits and crits welcome No Imagination Written and performed by Ed Kocol and Daryl Greenway With backing vocals by Liz Greenway Verse 1: Always been a simple man Doing right, the best I can Eat, sleep, work. Well, that's the plan Never gone beyond a white work van Prech Fancy cars are not my style I'll never walk the miracle mile I've aways been a simple guy and I guess that's why that I've stopped tryin Chorus: No imagination Happy with my station All I wanna do Is share my love with you It's been my foundation no imagination All I wanna do Is share my love with you Verse 2 Always been a simple soul, Day by day I play my role. From dawn to dusk, I toil and strive, In that white van I come alive. Prech Chorus Bridge: I don't have to think at all Never been against the wall My world changed because of you I'm gonna see this through with you, with you Chorus

This is a first mix that, after having posted, noticed some manic piano towards the end. Please ignore that. I'm looking for feedback on the mix and overall sound, plus anything else you want to point out. Thank you! Update: The link now points to mix 2. I've actually punched up the arrangements some and I think it's a better mix but I'm thinking I'm too aggressive on the master bus because to me the dynamics have suffered some in places. Feedback is welcome.

In addition to our previous post about the Bricasti IR lib, here’s another huge Impulse Response collection: Download GN’s Personal Lexicon 480L IRs. “The reason for doing this was so that I could have a virtual 480L inside the box in my Pro Tools rig via Audio Ease‘s excellent Altiverb plug-in .

Hello , years ago .. I watched a documentary about giant river fish in India. They highlighted the creamation of a local woman on the banks of the Ganges river. This had a profound effect on me .. and knowing why it was included in the giant fish show, it had even more impact. This is only about a moment in time and her passing. This song was started in Sonar 8.5 and just now brought to completion in CbB. All comments,crits and suggestions are welcomed. Thanks for the listen .. mark https://soundclick.com/share.cfm?id=14761020

Looking like Kramer HLS Channel which has done the free rounds before, so I wouldn't be surprised.

Polaris has both sample and synth engines and offers a groovebox-style workflow across six tracks. The 4x4 grid on each track enables you to input steps into the sequencer, and step modulation gives you an easy way of adding variation to your patterns. You can also adjust the step duration on a per-track basis (from 1/32 to one bar) and set the triggering conditions so that each step doesn’t sound every time. https://www.musicradar.com/news/polaris-android-music-making-app

I drink too much in the mornings and don't have a budget to waste on trendy stuff. This works for me!

I wish that all those who have nothing to add to the conversation, and are just "stirring the pot", or just "listening to the sound of their own voice"; would keep it "downstairs" where it belongs. IF, on the other hand, you are looking for information on Sonar, go to Noel's page and click on "see their activity." That is where you will find all the information that is "known" to date. That's the "wheat", all the whining and "hand wringing" is the "chaff"... t

also, when you get an email "we've encountered a problem with your account, click here to correct the problem" and other fun phishing content, always, as in ALWAYS NEVER click on the link, and certainly NEVER click on a box that says "Click Here, it's safe" etc. (web page, PDF, etc etc) as it runs a script under your account and then your system is owned. basic web sercurity for the past, oh, 30 years or so... if you get a message - go to your bookmarks and open the link directly yourself. and then, when the site opens, alway look at the address before doing any other steps. and yeah, paypal is one of the better places - in addition to a single well protected storage and login (esp if you use multi-factor authentication for every transaction) they have one of the best remediation processes to refute payments made to people and businesses who do the wrong thing. also, make sure whatever CC you use has a $50 liability limit. so if your debit card does not have that, DO NOT USE IT. most times, if someone is re-using your card (like when you went to the gas station, restuarant, shopping, etc) when you file a complaint, most of the better CC companies don't even bother with the $50. but you want to know at the very least this is in your CC policy...

Relaxxxx. Why do we get this kind of thing when people suggest adding a new way to accomplish something? "Nooooo, pleeeease, I like it the way it IS! Don't force me to learn a new way to do it!" Nobody has suggested that the current way of doing it should be removed. We're just saying that it's clumsy and nearly impossible to figure out without deep-diving the documentation or Googling or asking how to do it on the forum. Maybe you were able to intuit how without research, but I wasn't and I've seen plenty of other users who also found it obtuse and frustrating. Me, I hate deleting markers in Cakewalk because I'm always afraid that I'm going to hit Del at the wrong moment and delete a clip or a plug-in or something. Every time I do it, it makes me clench up. This is 5 years and 11 months after I learned how to do it (it took me a month of using Cakewalk to get around to learning how to do it). I've been asking for years for Delete Marker to be added to the dialog that pops up when you right click on a marker. For those people who like clicking on a marker, holding, then pressing Del to delete it, nothing would change. You would be free ignore the fact that there's a way for new users to figure out how to do it without Googling. Which is how I figured out how to delete a marker in Cakewalk. Gave up in frustration, Googled it. Found a post on the old forum responding to someone else who also wasn't able to figure it out. If anyone reading this thinks that experienced DAW users needing to use a search engine to figure out an operation as common as deleting a marker is just par for the course, you're wrong. Yes, there are many operations where it's not out of line to have to consult the manual. Things like setting up Groove Clip Looping and such that exist in every DAW, but usually in different forms. Deleting a marker? C'mon. It doesn't have to be a complete overhaul of the feature or a rethink of the UX philosophy or a retool of the Markers module or view or any such thing. Just add Delete Marker to the context dialog. It's the very kind of thing that context dialogs are meant for.

Hi All, messing around with a few short piano loops, played a bass line and had a good old, long, noodle. Guitar is one take and unedited, should have tuned it before 😉 If you have absolutely nothing to do, you can listen to it 😉 It's 7 minutes of your life you won't get back !!! Rik

From the Cakewalk Sonar website FAQ's: "Is Cakewalk Sonar replacing Cakewalk by BandLab? Cakewalk Sonar builds and improves on Cakewalk by BandLab, offering advanced technology, effortless workflow, and an interface that amplifies inspiration. You can still access Cakewalk by BandLab here, but it will soon be phased out. We will continue providing community support and maintenance for Cakewalk by BandLab until both Cakewalk Next and Sonar become publicly available. Existing Cakewalk by BandLab users will be able to continue using the software after the release of Cakewalk Sonar. In the meantime, Cakewalk by BandLab continues to be available here." "Will Cakewalk by BandLab be discontinued? Yes, eventually. We will continue providing community support and maintenance for Cakewalk by BandLab until Cakewalk Sonar becomes publicly available. At some point after the release of Sonar, Cakewalk by BandLab will no longer be supported. Note that existing Cakewalk by BandLab users will be able to continue using the software after the release of Cakewalk Sonar. In the meantime, Cakewalk by BandLab continues to be available here." TDLR: Existing users of CbB will continue to be able to re-activate and use CbB even after the release of Sonar. It will eventually be phased out, but we've no immediate plans to do so. There may be a point in between however, where new users will be unable to download and/or activate CbB.

I'm standing with you. I'm NOT buying anything else I don't need. And the irony is, where do we find ourselves? In the Deals section. I've got to learn to tell the truth to myself . . . . .

These days pretty much most software, apps and plugins comes with the way of tagging things on their Browsers as 'Favorites' and this certainly help with the workflow. 1. Give us an ability to easily and intuitively tag plugins, instruments and etc in the Sonar Browser to create a 'Favorites" list and an easy access to display them. This will be an awesome addition to the Browser. 2. Other DAWs already displays plugin images, which we don't have in Sonar. But that is another way to easily identify the plugins especially when plugins are named creatively and/or at times in bizarre 😜 naming convention with new plugin manufacturers, it helps to identify them faster. A picture is worth a thousand words !

You Might want to try demo versions of other daws and see what works for you. I have been using Cakewalk for so long I have no desire to change. Being new to music production, you Probably don't have a work flow established. Try a variety of things before investing in a daw.

The whole Eric Clapton Album was and still is one of my all time favorite records of his . Let It Rain Kenny PS Carl Radle's Bass Part is absolutely sublime and it locked the songs groove down tight 😊

Mark Knopfler - Brothers In Arms Best use of geetar ever. Great song. Makes the guitar cry and speak.

I'm a guitar player who loves Dave Gilmour and Mark Knopfler, and my guilty pleasure is 80s hair metal so I know a lot of solos - and this unlikely monster is my favorite. Chances are you've heard this song but NOT the solo, as they chopped off the like 80% or so on the radio version. In the video go to 2 minutes and 38 seconds and be amazed by the ferocity and accuracy of this dude's bending and his right hand technique. He was machine on this thing - and it's a long solo!

I can not believe it took me this long to remember this song: Let It Rain, by Clapton. The opening riff alone is one of the greatest in rock. But at the 3:48 mark that lick Eric throws out there is the best rock lead ever... bar none!! There is so much feel in that solo. That is the greatest solo in rock history.

Amp Room • Fixed a rare issue that could cause Fix Doubler to fail to load when used in old Amp Room projects in an ABCD state other than the current one. Clipper: • Now loadable in the Console 1 Shape sections (in addition to Drive and Preamp). Console 1 Core Mixing Suite: • Added two new preamps, Vintage and Modern, to the Preamp section.
