Thanks Jack. Cheers🎶🎶🎶🎶

Thanks Nigel. The delay effects have really gotten my interest piqued. They really expand the possibilities of percussion as well🎶🎶🎶🎶

Thanks so much. This one did lend itself to some interesting turns and surprises that keep it moving and, hopefully, interesting and enjoyable🎶🎶🎶🎶

Hi All. Hope you are all well. This is Sapphire (alternative instrumental). All observations welcomed.

Great overview. At this point a must watch for sure.

Thanks so much. I'm running 4GB of RAM also. It really encourages creativity 😂

What are the minimum Windows PC requirements to run Cakewalk Sonar? I looked around but haven't seen them.

Subscribed. Mike's videos are hugely important pieces of DAW information. His teaching ability is unarguably superior to most others doing the same thing.

Thanks Nigel. The guitars on that piece, and on virtually all the songs I do, are on their own individual tracks. This gives me the ability to optimize EQ, delay, reverb, flanger, chorus, compression, etc. for each rhythm or lead/solo section based on what other instruments are happening with it and the guitar parts unique sonic signature as it was recorded. The delay effects and methods on the lead guitars are: 1. using the reverb from the amp as it was recorded. 2. making a copy of the guitar part and pasting it on another track about .35 to .7 seconds off the original. this is usually a process of trial and error as each part is unique. this can give a really sweet echo/delay effect 3. the TH3 delay in CW. 4. the Sonitus Delay in CW. 5. the Sonitus Reverb in CW. 6. any and all combinations of above. Cheers!🎶🎶🎶🎶

Thanks Mark. I tried to widen those parts by panning but lost volume, balance and clarity by doing so. I will try to download the Infected Mushroom Wider tool and give it a go.

Thanks! Appreciate the listen.

Had not heard of, watching a You Tube video on it now. Thanks!

Thanks Wookiee. I tried to get more wideness on the whole song but I placed the priority on clarity and correct sound levels/balance of all the instruments on those parts that are a bit narrow. If I had more than 8GB of ram I could have probably done it. Cheers🎶🎶🎶🎶

Just downloaded CW Product Center. I'm running latest update (2024.02). If i choose to update my Cakewalk Studio Instruments will I lose the TH3 VST plug in?

Thanks🎶🎶🎶🎶

Thanks🎶🎶🎶🎶

Thank You Jack🎶🎶🎶🎶

Greetings All. Hope you are all doing fine. Here's "Times Long Past". A rock instrumental whose ending is a homage to The Beatles "The End", specifically the dueling guitar solo's. Nits and crits appreciated.

Thanks Bjorn. This is a song I wrote back in the early eighties. It's in three different keys so it gives the piece some variety. Cheers.

Thanks Lynn. I used the Harmonizer setting and played with the Efx Refract adjustments awhile on the bass track.

Thanks Treesha. The percussion panning is from a Cakewalk Style Dial FX called Depth. You access it via Pro Channel, Insert Module, Style Dial FX, Depth. Word of caution when using it though, since I only have 8GB of ram whenever I load that FX I get an audio issue (short, loud clipping on the Master bus and whatever track module that it's installed in). At least, that's what i think is causing the audio issue. The afterlife question....who knows???? I wouldn't bet on it but have no definitive proof it does or doesn't exist. Cheers!!!!

Thank You Nigel. This is probably the best sounding mix I've done. It sure took long enough, lol!

Thank You Jack. Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄

Thanks Ross. The Efx Refract is pretty amazing. The huge amount of choices available it gives the user to shape the sounds is really nice.
