Bapu

Spoke to Mooch for over an hour on the phone yesterday (Easter Sunday). He went to the Mac/Ableton side of things to build a guide track for his drummer *that only feeds the drummer's headset) and keyboard tracks. All this is for live performances. He says it nearly impossible to find a keyboard play who likes to play 80s hits, which is what his band 'Risky Business" does. He still has a PC laptop that he thinks he might try CbB on. His last Cakewalk install was SONAR Platinum.

First world problem for sure. 🙂

Maybe it's used to put Baby (aka Bapu) in the corner.

I tried to buy it but I was told I don't have the minimum requirements...... talent.

Gald it's there and that works for CbB users in the way that works for them. Reaper is based on the fact that a track can be anything you want (as well as being infinitely nested): it can be a folder, a bus, an audio track, a midi track (simple or instrument like CbB) or a VSTi track and they do not have fixed position buses. It's totally flexible in how your buses/folders/tracks appear in the TV and Mixer. I grew up on hardware mixers and I get the 'logic' fixed bus positions like CbB and Harrison Mixbus. For me the flexibility of freeform placement of buses, tracks and or folders like Reaper and Studio One in the TV and Mixer is a non-hardware approach to DAWs which appeals to me. It may not be for everyone. That's not to say had I stuck with SPLat/CbB that I would have been please to see nested folders a reality but I had been asking for it since the SONAR 8.5 days when I learned of the Reaper approach. Had Studio One not come out with Chord and Arranger tracks shortly after the Gibson shutdown I was fully prepared to go with Reaper as my Go To DAW. For me Studio One beat out Reaper with their implementation of Chord and Arranger tracks.

Nesting in Reaper is hot and with the right theme (which I've finally found the right one for me) the mixer is very intuitive. Studio One works two just not quite as elegantly as Reaper with the theme I use. I'm usually dealing with 50-90 tracks and nesting is essential to me.

I was sworn to secrecy that Mooch and Jonbouy got married. Those were different times. I'm so glad you outted them. Love is love.

Yeah, Bitflipper knows words. Thanks for the listen.

Thanks for listen Tom.

I texted Mooch4056 (he was kind of a big deal in the old forum being the Conquistador and all): Mooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooch And he texted back: Bapuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu So, he's still of this earth and we can rest better knowing that he's on the job for you and me.

Why do dogs do that? Because they can.

If you haven't yet seen it, find the Utoob version of him soloing on While My Guitar Gently Weeps. It may at least change your mind a smidgen.

They were on the Shadow Docket?

Sax and the sitting?

Same here for me Lars.

I just texted Mooch. Let's see if he answers me.

I visited him once (when he was single) and I was in his wedding party when he got married.

Wasn't all that impressed with Neural Q. Anyone have any others from them? Are they game changers?

Mr. T, I just turned 69 in Feb of 2022 and I still make music with the virtual band Citizen Regen. I strive to get the best mixes/masters I can but I'm 100% sure they are not professional level and may never be. I personally don't do social media but our singer Ken posts our songs on FB. When a song is done I have three music related friends I give the Soundcloud link to. We also post here in the Songs Forum (as Citizen Regen). We get a few positive comments and occasional suggestions/thoughts about the songs. And after a few weeks those songs pass into oblivion. We posted our first batch of songs as an album to Spotify/iTunes/Apple Music just because we could not because we expected to become aged rock stars. So, I'll continue to do what I do as long as my bandmates will have me. As for you, whose to say if you should continue or call it day.

You and me Bub (erm Shane) , you and me.

My left Ossicles is nearly gone from an inner ear infection. I've had two operations on the left side and after the last one my Dr. told me she was going to just rip out the remains but decided to leave it in and it's a miricle that I can actually hear at all. That was 30 years ago. All things considered I am grateful for what little I can hear on that side. As the saying goes I'm nearly deaf in one ear and can't hear sh!te in the other.

It might get loud. Too loud.

Who's to say when it actually starts and ends? Do the musicians play something before and after it? What device is used to measure the time? A Casio watch or an atomic clock?

Cut-n-pasted from the web, so go ask them. 😉
