There are people using it to make really good stuff but they put a lot of work into making it give them what they want instead of just plugging in chords, picking a style and letting it rip - using what gets spit out verbatim. When I occasionally use BIAB, I use it as an idea generator and the final product is considerably different than what I was given.

Why are you trying to put audio effects on a MIDI track?

How much resource hogging bloatware do you have running in the background on this new machine?

MOTU is a very heavily Mac-centric company.

I could kick myself for ditching all my LPs back when. Had some good stuff. Fortunately, I was smarter about my guitar amps and my film cameras.

"Lifetime upgrades" doesn't mean your lifetime. Never mind that the company who offered that ceased to exist in 2017.

Must not have been that important....

Why is it so hard to understand that lifetime upgrades doesn't mean your lifetime? Why is it so hard to understand that the new owners didn't make that commitment? Go cry to the company that did. Oh, wait ... So in other words, BandLab has bent over backwards in demonstrating goodwill even though they have no obligation to do that. Not very clear thinking. I'm really disappointed, man. I thought you were a lot smarter than this but you're sounding just like all the other entitlement-mentality crybabies who can't let it go.

Your feelings don't change the fact that Cakewalk is FAR more advanced than Ardour. Ardour is a toy compared to CW. Whatever. Your comments demonstrate that you have no idea what CW is capable of.

I got news for you, Sparky: you don't own software. Any software. At all. Ever. You are granted a license to use it. Said license may or may not involve a financial transaction.

Absolute rubbish.

What hardware do you have connected for MIDI I/O?

That's the problem right there. Those guitar USB cables are unusable garbage. The only possible thing they might be good for is strangling a chicken for the dinner table. Maybe.

Because English is hard.

4-year-old dead thread.

So let me get this straight: we don't want to use technology because a) there are some idiots out there who don't know how to service it properly and b) there are idiots out there who push it beyond its design limitations. That sure makes a lot of sense. ABS is supposed to be there for an additional measure of safety on top of driving sensibly. Not so assholes can go driving around recklessly and with a careless disregard for their own safety and that of others.

Need to uninstall the other garbage too.

Cakewalk does use ASIO. In fact, it is recommended. You just don't have a real ASIO driver. You need to get a real audio interface.

This, of course, is covered in the documentation.

You don't read the manual cover to cover like it is a novel or something. You just look up what you need.

I hope it does list at $499. Might weed out some of the crowd who are shocked and upset to hear that recording takes an actual expenditure of time, money and effort. Won't do anything about the crybabies with an entitlement mentality who are still sniveling about what they are "owed." They'd still bitch and moan if it was $1.
