Starise

I was busy last evening and missed the offer. Good to see it's still up till the 24th.  I don't think 99.00 is a bad deal for that program.  I remember the last time they had a deal like this and the end was the end. I don't think they will keep bumping this along after the 24th. I am optimistic that they will keep developing the program. After aquisition they were likely feeling their way round the first year or two. I think we'll see an uptick in streamlining the UI and functions now.

12.5 gigs if you need/want all of the program. The program is only something like 500mb. Did I see the MF add wrong? Looks like a new user can buy it for the 99 there?? Version 7  no longer works for me. I might need to do a lot of pitch key changes. I realize it can be done well in Ableton.  Anyone using both that could comment. Cakewalk can shift existing loops. I know a few who were making loops in Cakewalk. Not sure difficult it was. I haven't traditionally been a loop kinda person. The key/pitch/loop construction part of it looks useful for some of my future work.

I just got this email. Only for those who own a version of Acid Pro already. Should we jump?

I doubt it will go lower than this.

Oh I though you said One Knob Plumper *cleans glasses*

Yes that's because she's a reptilian and eats mice ?

I think the new normal is a ok with me. 

We do need a conspiracy of some kind though...maybe.

 ? That's a LOT of plugins......we have a problem guys. Are there any support groups in the NE US?

If its of fairly recent vintage I would maybe load it up as a field laptop. Yes you'll need a wall outlet . Wav files are wav files.

I don't back up the way I should and I know I'm cruising for a bruising. I have had zero issues with any of my SSD drives. The only mistake I've made was to buy too small. From now on I doubt I'll buy anything smaller than a 1TB. I have the tendancy to buy libraries both useful and not filling up my space on my three 500GB  SSD's.  I just bought the Flatulus library.........now there's a useful one for you. It's not that large, however if you buy 10 more like it things begin to fill up fast.

I have a few projects going right now or I would be looking at replacing at least one or adding a 1TB to my lineup. I don't dare do it in the middle of a recording project...you know what can happen.

I believe that Bandlab is much better known to users where it was was mainly originated in those Asian countries. It seems a convergence is happening albeit slowly. If you began on Bandlab, how would you see Cakewalk? Obviously a free DAW is a draw, but I suspect many of these people have no point of reference.

From the Cakewalk perspective  most were content with a stand alone product that doesn't reach out to anything else, so in that respect I think we need convincing that we need something we weren't really looking for.  I'm interested in recording technology, so I was interested in Bandlab as a way to put ideas online. There are talented people all over the world. Creativity does not flourish in a box, so I was looking at it like I could meet a few other decent musicians and have some creative pow wows. It isn't really a warm and cozy kind of experience for me. Not like say, email exchanges, getting to know your collab partners. There are some trade offs. The name of the game is good music. Sometimes we can get too involved in unimportant stuff, so maybe Bandlab is the ultimate way to foster creativity. I have been a slow adopter admittedly. In my case it's because I'm pouring a lot of myself into learning a new and difficult instrument at an advanced age. It's quite a challenge and has taken time away from my recording hobby and projects. I think in the end I'll be a better all round' musician.

I didn't take naturally to Bandlab but I haven't given up on it. I'm still in the game and I appreciate all Noel and team has done to make BL so accessible to Cakewalk users as a part of the interface. I think I'm a more committed individual to my work and I don't like the guy who drifts in to "try" something out and leaves.  I'm not saying they aren't on BL. But so far this has been my experience, that people want to experiment and try things out but it stops there. My time is probably too valuable for that long term.  I tend to get in these moods too. I'll be in  BL mood again and put something out there eventually or add something to something else.

Honestly, I looks to me like a few wandered in on occasion and said to them selves. How did I get here, why am I here and how do I get out ?

If they could just see us the place would be swamped with women...............................................

......................Right?

There's always my old faithful fallback Audo Technica  ATH-M50X. There's  a setting for Sonarworks. If you have overly large flappy ears it might be uncomfortable though. 

I had a no show the other day from a person I'm making an album for. When I texted him to inquire if he was going to make it, he commented he forgot what day it was. Hmmmm. Maybe I'll forget to make his album.?

I no know secret handshakes...and I'm slightly dyslexic.

Maybe all of those and a few more.?

Not sure. I can only guess. I have a pretty good idea about Sharke.

Zargg, how's the footie?

I need to go now. I don't plan on being NAGPAPPED. Yes I said PAPPED. He has big ones.

Just for the record- Kenny I will never shake your sausage. Hmmmm.....are we explaining the secret handshake to women? I guess they only shake one finger?

We disgust the women and they all run off. In order to draw them back in we need to show our better sides. Yeah, I know that might not be possible.

Statistically I don't believe there are nearly as many female mixing engineers. The ones there are might be on a mac using PT. Prolly pink Macs with perfumed fuzzy stuff all round the studio. 

Glad you are back MUDGEL.  Best wishes your way.  

Not sure why. I just haven't been round as much. Seems similar. Lots of the same chaps here. I think I've just been busy. When everything is working there isn't as much to complain about. 

Remember all of the bug complaints and the crap that went down over the " free lifetime" updates?   It seems everyone is out of steam now. We're in a Cake holding pattern.  I guess I could go record something.

So I spent some time recording a few tunes yesterday and this was one of those. I used a low end ribbon mic first into an old ART MPA2  preamp into a Focusrite 18i8

I'm getting this really annoying high pitched resonance in the sound. I know it isn't the mics. I changed to different mics and had the same issue. I tried different inputs on the interface to make sure it wasn't a bad input. I played with the gain staging in the ART and the Focusrite. Problem never went away no matter what I did. I tried repositioning the mics. That made no difference.

I was using the recording program that came with my camera. I'm beginning to think that maybe since it records in mp4 it's adding some bad stuff to my signal? Anyone else have similar experiences? The only modification I did to he audio was I could only track in stereo off of the Focusrite and it's usually best to track violin in mono, so I had to make a stereo track into mono so that both speaker would play the audio. The problem was present before I did this.

Yesterday trying to do this was like chasing monkeys around the room, Bapu no direct references here  

-Firstly, Cakewalk would import the video and I could make the track mono but I couldn't get it to export into anything that would play.

-I have Vegas Movie Studio Platinum 16. That program would not let me track direct from it, I kept getting exceptions over and over again after I changed everything I could think of with respect to audio resolutions video types etc. Nothing worked. I'm using a pretty common Logitech C920 video camera. I upgraded the program thinking it would help. It didn't.

-I have two or three basic video editors. A few would not import the video. One did import it, but the programs are all too "dumb" in audio editing. Not even enough basic function to make a stereo track into mono. 

You know which program imported the video, allowed me to edit the video AND the audio and export with zero issue? Acoustica Mixcraft pro 8. Vegas crashed and burned on this one. Cakewalk wouldn't export. It's an Mp4......shouldn't have been overly difficult?

Does anyone know how to remove the nasty harmonics/resonance from the Logitech MP4? I think this may be the issue.

At least they know their scales....I hope. 

Thanks guys!! I appreciate the comments!

I guess you can tell I haven't been around these parts recently. I'm still trying to get the feel of it here. Maybe it's all of that orange?

That's a cute clean one.There are a few out there that aren't kid worthy.  Like this one which is one of the nicer ones.
