Hey cut that out, i got me some ***** (or 2) on my lap

I follow a few group on Facebook, topics like Supercars, some 3D printer groups (To assist in troubleshooting) and a couple of local buy swap and sell groups I’ve used to get rid of a bit of old furniture. Also where i was able to get a couple of kittens 4 years ago. BUT I only read. No individual facebook friends at all. 

Really feel for all you guys affected by wild fires. (Inspired by the beginning part of the locked thread)

It’s early spring here while we make our plans, preparing our properties in anticipation of our next round of bush fires here down under in Australia. All due to kick off all too soon.

Usually have a reciprocal arrangement with you guys and help one another out with personnel. Not sure what COVID’s done and doing to those plans. I remember too, the sad loss of human life last year, particularly the US flight crew lost over here just helping out. It capped off a terrible bush fire season for us where so many come together from the opposite sides of the earth and our distant areas within our own country to help total strangers. Not strangers for long though as they battle so many unwinnable fires.

Take care guys.

Ever wonder what Mt. Rushmore looks like from North Dakota?

Literally burst into tears of laughter. So funny and absolutely brand new to me.

Thanks guys i really needed a good laugh. Here’s a short tale of whoa!

During an interview at the local radio station, a husband was asked how he had managed to have a marriage lasting more than 40 years.

“Well it goes right back to our honeymoon,” he starts, “a horseback trip through the Grand Canyon. Just the 2 of us and our horses.”

“Not long into the first day my wife’s horse stumbled and she fell off. After picking herself up, the missus looks the horse in the face and says “That’s once.””

“Well a few days passed and again my wife’s horse stumbled, she fell off and after picking herself up, looks the horse squarely in the eyes and says “That’s twice””

“Continuing on, just hours before we were due to arrive back to our point of departure 1 week earlier and again the poor horse stumbled and again my wife fell off. On picking herself up from the ground, she retrieved a hand gun from her bag and shot the horse dead.”

“Distressed about my wife’s treatment of the poor horse I started to protest about her behaviour when she turned, looked me square in the eyes and said “That’s once”.”

The joys of a Non_Destructive Audio recording program, (DAW) that runs amok; if allowed. Glad you got it sorted.

Have to agree with @msmcleod. Re-installation can often be the fix for unexplained Waves problems as it is with many plugins. It’s my usual last step before contacting Waves/Plugin support and has worked for most of the problems I’ve encountered.

You can create presets to define your export preferences for different types of targets, mp3s, wavs etc. 
A quick search in the Cakewalk Reference PDF will provide you with the info you need. 
Here’s the link to the Reference Guide I case you don’t already have it.

Can't we just fix it in post production?

I think that the folks who don’t know to hold the phone in Landscape orientation for recording videos or snapping pictures, instead of Portrait, probably don’t know what post production is either. Perhaps its what happens at the Post Office.

I think Cakewalk, particularly the new version about to be released that fixed the long-overdue problem with snap in the staff view (which I've tested and works great), will be sufficient and I won't need to use Sonar.  After Gibson destroyed Sonar, I backed up all of my Sonar installation files, put them on a CD and put them in a safety deposit box in the bank.  But now, I doubt I'll need them.

By the way, I don't quite get how Bandlab is giving a $400 program away for free.  I could understand it if they were just making it available, but the fact that they are fixing bugs and adding new features makes me wonder.  Nobody gives away such sophisticated software for free, well, almost nobody.  Do you think they'll start charging for it soon (which if OK with me) or is there some catch somewhere?  I do notice that the end-user doesn't really have a copy of Cakewalk, there's no .exe file to hold onto. 

Best,

Jerry

Meng, who is Bandlab’s owner has stated several times that he has no intention of charging for the Cakewalk DAW. He has other significant music/audio related enterprises that do make him money. HIs family is particularly wealthy.

Wouldn’t it be nice to be able to  have the money to do what you want and still do something that is not directly profit related. Many have suggested ulterior motives or that there is some sinister intent yet to be revealed. It may just be that he’s a nice guy who has the “where with all” to do something benevolent for a community he too enjoys. I choose to believe the latter.

So far he’s been true to every single promise he made when the announcement was first made that Bandlab had bought the Sonar/Cakewalk Intellectual Property from Gibson and the DAW would continue to be developed and remain free to use via a licence. All things considered I think Noel and the team have done a great job balancing development of new features with bug fixes related to long standing problems.

I think its a remarkable feat actually - All credit to Meng for being able to direct what seems a unique venture in an industry that’s is typically money and image driven.

You can very easily save the Cakewalk by Bandlab installer.exe file. The program only needs reactivation every 6 months and this can now be done offline (I think).

Try changing a setting, saving the change, logout. Then log back in and make the changes you want. 

Alternatively you can always contact support.

NB: While opening the Cakewalk Reference Guide on my iPad.

Does anyone else experience the Cakewalk Reference Guide pdf closing whenever a link is selected. It doesn’t happen with other PDF files only with the Cakewalk Reference guides. The current and previous 2 versions all exhibit this behaviour.

I can touch and scroll a page but as soon as I tap a link in the table of contents, bang, it closes,

In the top right of your browser, Select - Settings/Account Settings/Other Settings/Notifications; there’s a whole page of selections on when and how you would like to be notified.

Now Mike with your new heart you have no excuse but to start posting more here in the House

Hope you are doing well. 

No new ticker, just replumbed  But yes I’m much more betterer this year than last. Thanks for asking. Man I made a mess of that post. I should go back and edit it.

I wonder who the cruel bastage was that put an "s" in the word "Lisp" - ya? 🤔

I’ve often spoken of the cruel irony of how “lisp” is spelled.

I want more please...

Someone mentioned the Plateau. 
Ah yes, I wandered around that Plateau many times. The only way I ever found my way off it was with a teacher. Someone more skilled than me who could look at and listen to my playing and provide the feedback necessary for objective evaluation of my skill.
That feedback was the first step in getting directions off the Plateau and get to a different but improved level of playing. 
Over the years I’ve had numerous teachers and each only for a short time. Each time however they would provide a kick start that would keep me going for years at a time till I arrived at the inevitable Plateau. 
These days unfortunately I’m on the last plateau, the body no longer as capable for a  move to another Plateau. Nonetheless,  its comfortable here and that drive for improvement has been replaced with a contentment with maintaining where I am now. On the Plateau.

Ah, yes... the fallen comrades (still miss Jan too, Old55). 

For more memories, I still have an archive of Billy Arnell's Online Songs

Ah Billy. My last ever collaboration was with him. We never did finish it. Thanks for the link back to the memories.
I remember how the old forum came together to pass our feelings and respect for Billy onto his family. 

I could consider selling my whole Waves collection and DIGIGRID hardware for the right price. Any genuine interest let me know.

the girls are waiting for you Craig

Looks like a bunch of builders on ”crack”. 

I used to spend a lot of time “faffing” around trying to record the guitar, always some issue, Too hot an input, too weak a signal, forgot to set the track up right, not the tone I want ; you name it. Just one wrong thing after another. 

Then, I spent my time on actually getting the part right; the notes, chords, timing and above all the arrangement. Once I had that down, especially the arrangement ie knowing what I wanted to play then and only then did I start getting better results with my recordings. 
Kind of seems logical when you say it. All the best. 
 

Of course you can just record everything in the hope that by some magic the perfect piece of music will pour out of your hands but it’s not likely if you’re a crap guitarist and want to be a better guitarist. I used to end up with lots of recordings of a crap guitarist. Seemed pointless. 

Amazing that Presonus can integrate what was a 3rd party stand alone notation program into their DAW which hadn’t natively ever had notation while Cakewalk, users have been asking for years for some basic enhancements to notation that has been present for some 30 years and can’t really get much joy. 
I wonder why Presonus thought notation was so important when notation being relatively low on the importance scale has been an argument for its lack of development within Cakewalk. 
Let’s argue about it.
