The inescapable truth of these tests is that there’s a bunch of old farts in the Coffee House. Psstt! Did you hear the one about... Oh, that’s right, you can’t hear... fade to silence.

Nice to see that there’s finally a place for sharing Content created for Cakewalk. That type of provision was reasonably well supported by Sonar users in the old forum, but lacked any real support from the company as any shared files were stored personally by those moderating that particular forum. Perhaps now that it’s a Bandlab promoted space (I think) users can get the full benefit of company support for maintaining it. I hope it goes well.

Don't forget that before BandLab acquired it from Gibson a few years ago, Sonar Producer by Cakewalk (the full program) was about $499 for the first time buyer with version upgrades around the $179 mark.

One of the funniest tribute bands ever. Some of the video clips had me ROFL. What a blast from the past.

I’m a virtual musician - I virtually create music. It very flexible as it allows me to live vicariously through this forum and YouTube. That way I can maintain my full time occupation of “Couch Potato”. The pay’s lousy but there’s no tax or paper work.

I’ve been using Paragon HDD utilities of various generations for many many years and have cloned drives numerous times without issues. Not suggesting you must use Paragon software, just confirming that with good tools cloning a drive is not a dark art.

I’ve done 2 builds based on consultations with Jim Rosebery (Purrfect Audio Studio Cat)- I followed his recommendations for all but a few components that I couldn’t source where I live. He followed up with all my questions whether related to hardware or software. The fact that he has run Cakewalk/Sonar for decades is a valuable bonus as he has context for any questions you might have related to our favourite DAW.

As an example, Waves install a mono version and a separate stereo version of plugins that have a Mono and Stereo operation, resulting in 2 plugins when you'd think that there'd be just the one as most other vendors do. Could it be something like that.

I don’t recall giving permission for a picture of my likeness to be used.

Woohoo! I’m now a member of a club I didn’t know I wanted to join.

Every iteration is getting better. Great work.

Now. seems telling an off topic (not music related) joke and use of another word for faeces (substituting a letter with an asterisk to disguise it) has earned me the wrath of an admin. From memory I think it’s the first time I’ve ever done the substitution thing in several decades. It had had several views and reactions and I’d received notification of those reactions. When I checked them was when I discovered the post having been deleted. I guess that’ll learn me. Really odd considering what passes for acceptable non music related posts in the Coffee House 2.0.

So much sad news about. My condolences.

Don’t forget that your monitoring environment (the recording/playback room) is at least as important as the monitors you’re using. To get the best value for money spent on monitor speakers consider at least some modest acoustic room treatment.

Incorrectly quoted.

Do they show up in Cakewalk?

Is this one of our forum users? I don’t know, but this guy is. IMG_0283.mp4

While we call it Duct Tape today, it was originally named Duck Tape by the soldiers who first used it in WWII. For more details

Members of the faculty of the University of Wooloomooloo solved the problem by suggesting everyone be named Bruce.

Apology accepted. Changing my name to Norm (MUDGEL) Vogel

I see I’m not the norm. I’m not even a norm.

I - see - nuu - th - ing! (Sgt Schultz voice)

His name’s A. Blinken.

My bad. I didn’t see it in the pic. Whoops!

AND WHERES THE LAVA LAMP. Just had to shout about that gross omission.
