Hello all!
New to this forum, just wanted to introduce myself.
I am a guitar player, bass player, singer. I started out on a win95pc running cakewalk 3.0? Cakewalk and my korg 05rw was my introduction to the world of computers + music. I do a lot of midi: write all my own drum, bass, key, guitar parts - in midi in the piano roll. (I record my guitar and bass in audio).
Years ago I strayed over to flstudio as I liked the piano roll better. A few days ago I read about gibson/bandlab/cakewalk/free! Couldn't be more excited. I have so been missing sysex and ability to save/recall my guitar presets instead of keeping notes!
Setting up my template I'm encouraged by seeing a LOT of functionality that I did not have in fl... track templates, the mixing buss is more intuitive, etc.
Haven't figured out how to easily copy/paste midi clips... I know cw is geared more toward a linear midi track while one of fl's strengths is it's ability to easily create small sections and string them together. Any advice there would be welcomed!
Bandlab: thank you thank you thank you for saving cw and making it "great again"?! I'll assume the end game is to go back to something paid and I'm onboard with that assuming "the operation is successful ie my transplant"
