My First Song on the New Cakewalk

Recommended Posts

Song for 7th Anniversary of my wife and I yesterday... Thanks for listening!

I started with Cakewalk  when it was only midi and have used Samplitude for Audio back then..Samplitude for both for the last several years...

I am enjoying this new Cakewalk!  I was intrigued by the new Arranger section, since I a mostly a song writer...

Oh, thanks!...I  was quite worried about getting a good guitar sound and it worked thankfully.

First off , I rediscovered my old original Zoom H2 recorder. I can just sit it on my desk right in front of the guitar.

So, that records in stereo, which may help.

I also did enough takes to have another complete one to run two of the same strum patterns together panned left and right.

Kind of like doubling a vocal, anything other than a totally separate    take sounds phased, so this was an entirely separate take  doubled.

I also added Waves CLA Unplugged VST using the Shiny Acoustic preset. I raised the bass and lowered the treble a bit, though.  I  lowered the delay also.

Attachment shows my pan levels and Waves settings compared to the preset.

For better or for worse I used a Dunlop Nylon .46mm pic.

That pretty thin, but good for strait smooth strumming I suppose.

This is also my bargain basement Alvarez FD60CSB.

Although they have been known to out perform their price as long as you don't use the bad sounding preamp.
