    Hi, I'm not sure what's wrong but I'm not able to find your music on SoundCloud using the broken link above.

    This is the first song I've seen you post. I'm sort of surprised. Lucky for me it's a song I've hear before so I have something to compare against. I'm impressed. The mix and arrangement is good. Your vocal is kinda' buried in the mix but I feel that is by design since the rest of the mix is spot on. I'm glad this forum doesn't have an issue with cover as I like hearing old tunes made new again. You represented the song well. I hope to hear more.

    I hope the operation was able to improve your eyesight. My wife is legally blind so I have great empathy for your issues. Your playing is precise. I imagine any guitar sounds good in your hands. This is a good sounding track.

    @kitekrazy, You may want to open a support request to ask your questions. I don't fellow forum members can answer them with authority. The answers would just be guesses. Here is a link to open a support question: https://help.cakewalk.com/hc/en-us/requests/new?ticket_form_id=360000025633

    Thanks for sharing the video. I don't have SampleTank 4 but still found the routing and layering examples interesting.

    The serial number should be in your old Sonar / Cakewalk account. You can sign in here: https://www.cakewalk.com/My-Account/Login?ReturnUrl=%2fMy-Account

    Thanks for posting the video Simeon. The timing is so strange as I am currently performing a similar experiment to learn about using Melodyne's audio to midi engine.

    Here's a 21:50 minute video that walks through Windows 10 settings that help your computer perform better when using the computer for music. The video was created by Mike with Creative Sauce. I hope forum users find this video useful. There is also a link to a pdf file that summarizes the same information.

    ^^^^^ This! ^^^^^ Perhaps a lens versus screen set comparison.

    When making a video tutorial I must agree that the quote above is a key consideration. Having said that I admit I did not even remember the availability of the Export Module until Noel mentioned it. Perhaps Mike can append the video or add a comment in the video description to add a note that there is an Export Module.

    Another winner Mike. Thank you and please keep 'em coming!

    I found this article on the Reuthers News Service https://www.reuters.com/article/us-fender-tech/guitar-maker-fender-hopes-to-rock-revenues-with-digital-song-learning-app-idUSKBN1X11S5 According to the article, if you place songs on Apple Music and your song is selected by the app, you get paid.

    It's not a dumb question. If you don't know ask, that's what the forum is all about; users helping users. Some effects are designed to sound better in stereo than they do in mono. Chorus is a good example as it can accept a mono input signal but the output is almost invariably stereo. I'm sure others will chime in with their thoughts.

    The easiest way is to use the smart tool to perform slip editing. Click on the track pane to move focus to the track. Move the cursor to the top corner of a clip. The cursor changes to a straight line with arrows. Left click and drag and a fade line will be drawn. Right click on the fade line to choose from a selection of fade types. Note: see pages 361 & 362 of the Cakewalk Reference Manual pdf file. That's where the photo was copied from. The reference manual is available for download by selecting the fourth link under the "Cakewalk by BandLab" tab at the top, left of each forum webpage. It's a great resource. I love how easy Audacity makes trimming a track. Cakewalk's about as easy, you just got to get used to it. One way is just like your doing, take one task you always perform in Audacity. Learn how to perform the same task in Cakewalk. Perform the task in Cakewalk until it's second nature.

    @abacab Thanks for that. I forgot the utility existed. Once again, thanks.

    My music is pretty bland and I'm not a keyboard player so it's all new to me. I just wish Xpand!2 included a standalone program. As a VST I find I'm having to learn using a VSTi in the DAW as well as the VSTi itself. It's been a interesting experience.

    Soft synths is kind of a "new" tool I'm exploring. My musical tastes runs to Americana, classic country and soft rock and my main interest is learning audio production, not recording audio. So my heaviest time and money investment has been with PG Music's Band-in-a-Box and the RealTracks content. All that was said to say I really haven't explored soft synths in much detail. But now I want to learn more about using midi. Band-in-a-Box has a lot of midi content but the Coyote WT and Synthfont64 included as their "normal" soft synth and, at different times, SampleTank or Sforzando players to playback the "high quality" patches PG Music provides. I've messed with Sforzando and Synthfont some and I like using Sforzando but I want to branch explore a different interface and Xpand!2 is an inexpensive answer.

    Online BandLab uses coding specific to the Chrome browser. I suspect you recently had a Chrome update and may not even realize it. Many times Chrome updates as a background task and the update is not applied until the next time you open the browser. In addition to the BandLab support link scook provided, check out the Google browser forum here: https://support.google.com/chrome/community?hl=en

    Excellent photos. You guys look ready to rumble! I hope there is a lot of traffic through the booth. Love the back drop with all the affiliate names. In one photo it looks like there is a large "Cakewalk" sign above the booth?

    @arlen2133, do any of us "need" most of what we want? No but I already bought it for $8.39 US before you tried to dissuade me! For me it is a tool I can use to learn how to use a non general midi standard multi-timbrel VSTi. That's my justification and I'm gonna' stick with it. I'm not looking forward to Black Friday. There is going to be too many "I wants" and not enough money. I have the same problem looking at food menus. That's why I love buffet restaurants! 🙌

    @Gary Shore, If you're on a budget you may want to take a look at the MT Power Drumkit VST: https://www.powerdrumkit.com/

    Nice list overall. I must say there are more points raised that I agree with than disagree. You obviously put some thought into it and use Cakewalk by BandLab enough to bring comments from different modules together. Good "to do" list @Some Guy
  25. Jim Fogle
    Wow, Xpand!2 is a 1.3 GB download in compressed format. That's a lot of multi-timbrel sounds. I just couldn't resist at $8.39 US. Thanks @Starship Krupa and @filo. Appreciate it guys.
