Well there ought to be.

Comeback and development please!

I bought Reaper when Gibson dropped Sonar (Platinum in my case). Didn't use it much and got very irritated with it when I did (but more in a bit). I was also relieved when Bandlab picked up Cakewalk, but also concerned. "How long will it be free?", etc. I was very surprised and grateful for what followed. I did not give up on Reaper however and though I am now intermediate at best I've come to appreciate it. For various reasons I am not able to support the kind of budget that Studio One etc require. Anyway I think it would be very decent of Bandlab to offer a steep discount on the new Sonar (which initially at least will be using the substantially same code base as the old Sonar) to people like me. If they don't do this I won't touch it. BTW I know all too well they have no legal obligation. I will keep CBB and will install the final update. I will finish some things off. Then I may uninstall it and, sadly, say goodbye.

Anyway that was a real pleasure to listen to. Very, very well produced. The vox as people have said really adds something. Are the samples all cleared or public domain? I did feel at about half way or two thirds it could have "gone somewhere". Harmonically. Some modulation and perhaps a more radical change of texture? But equally going too far with that kind of thing could have ruined it. Anyway thank you. Oh and did you know that https://store.cdbaby.com/Artist/BjornFredrickson gives a 404 error (page not found)? And I take it this is you? https://open.spotify.com/artist/1A1Q5P93fbFFIjbBVaasNC

Wow. In that case maybe I should have got that instead of BFD3 (it was on sale and I am on a very limited budget at least for a while).

Thank you. Very impressive. Nice relaxed feel. I take it the drums in particular are live? Is it all live. Makes such a difference. On the high end question: I bought a CD of Hunky Dory (years ago now) which I think was a remix. It sounded quite shrill to me. I have to wonder what it would sound like now.

Hello, As my profile says I am very new to actually releasing music. Here they are: A Form Emerges: https://open.spotify.com/album/39H0Txhi1Y49lHN8QCULre or https://secret-garden.bandcamp.com/track/a-form-emerges And Tell Me: https://open.spotify.com/album/15wdCmyTOBAuyyuF1VwC0k or https://secret-garden.bandcamp.com/track/tell-me Also: Main Spotify Other things on Link tree I used CD Baby because I am not prolific so the way they charge makes sense for me. The album which really is a mixture is due on 27th Jan 2023. Nearly all done in Cakewalk.
