Yes, and a company offering the option of purchase OR subscription, like presonus, is a GOOD thing. That's completely diff than Bandlab forcing subscription only. I was gonna mention that in my second response to wookiee but it's starting to feel like a waste of time so I just let it rest. Im sure everyone's gonna keep complaining but the only way bandlab will offer a license is if more people refuse the subscription only model. Money is what talks. If someone bellyaches but still buys the sub, then they LITERALLY support the subscription only model. The rest is just noise. That's why I never subbed. As I said in a diff thread, Id rather buy a somewhat inferior daw than have a subscription. And that's aside from the principle involved which makes me wanna jump ship even more. When they eventually end CbB, I guess then we'll see what happens to those who are hanging in the wings right now. I personally am not doing the sub thing. But ultimately, I cant blame bandlab for the 'steady money' grab if they can get enough people to go along with it. It's really up to the customer base.

I hear u bud and hope u know I wasnt throwing shade at u personally. Cheers 👍

Cheers Wookiee. In my view, that all depends on how many people are willing to subscribe and what the future competition does. No one has a crystal ball and capitalism has way of helping the little guy too. Clearly, the majority of people who dont make a living with their daw HATE subscriptions. So, if more daw companies force subscription only, that just may incentivize a company to make a good, reasonably pro daw with a perpetual license. If so, they will definitely have my business and Im certain MANY others too. Surely, Bandlab already knows this which is why they dont like people talking about other daws on here. With a free market system, no company or business model is really secure. Btw, Im still using CbB but I would gladly BUY Sonar. That means Bandlab will lose my business with sub only. But hey I get it, if they make more money thru sub only, more power to them. But between that and the squirrely way theyve done the switch over(should've just been straight from the start), I feel no loyalty to Bandlab. And "Cakewalk" is just another name for Bandlab now.

I just gently shook them while playing this sweet lil diddy...

I hear u. I hope u figure something out bud.

I think u need to move 👍

Very Nice! Ah via Musicom is one of my top 3 albums. Eric's talent is unreal! And I hadnt heard that Fields of Gold cover. Her voice is beautiful. And Stings melodies in that song are almost spiritual. It feels heavenly. I've always loved Fields of Gold.

Yes! This is one of my favorites too. It brings back special memories of rocking my kids to sleep 😴

Hang in there man. You may still have a couple great songs in you. And if not, there's always the option of plagiarism 🤔

Not at all. If it's music and u love it, that's all that matters. Btw, that's why I posted this thread. I was curious to see the varied responses. I was also curious if anyone would have a favorite that's uptempo or even rocking. So far, Seven Wonders is the most uptempo. I myself have always played mostly Rock & Hard Rock yet my favorite songs are all ballad type songs. The ballads just seem to reach deeper.

Absolutely! One of my faveorites too. Heartfelt & clever lyric writing with beautiful music & melodies. And his bridges are MASTERFUL. Like the bridge in this song and "My Life". They're very long bridges that slowly and beautifully unfold with advanced chord changes. You can't fake that. That takes lots of talent & musical vision.

I swear, I was just waiting for someone to say Paul tanked the lyrics on purpose! 😂

Yeah, great storytelling there. With those great Eagles harmonies. Actually 'Best of my Love' is one of my all time favorites. There's a reason theyve sold so many dang albums.

Yeah, a young Stevie Nicks is always nice to look at 😍. (Im sory, was there other people in the video?)

Yeah, cool read. Still not a big fan of the silver girl line but Im glad to know it had personal meaning to Paul. That gives it some depth. And interesting that Art sang the third verse first. It actually makes sense. He had to see how big it would be to know how delicate to sing the other verses. Very cool, Thanks 😉

anyone you wouldn't YOU pwallie. I expect nothing less than perfection from you. But only because I know ur capable of it 👍

I didn't know that. ...Still a weak line though 😄

Artistically speaking, yes. As far as him being difficult to work with... Hey, I didn't raise him! 😁

I hear u. I think it'd still be great without the 3rd verse. My bigger problem, and I hate saying this cause it's my favorite song, is I feel the 3rd verse lyrics could be better. "Sail on silver girl"... that never really floated my boat 😉. Not to mention, he turned from a bridge into a sailboat. It never quite worked for me. "Im sailing right behind, like a bridge.." He shoulda just stuck with bridge similes. But Paul admitted he liked to write slowly and they were obviouly already in studio, short on time. So I cut him some slack. But I really wish the 3rd verse was the strongest verse to really knock it out the park(like the climaxing music is begging for). Yeah, for me, those lyrics could be better.

Hard to argue with that one my friend

I think that very freedom is what helped keep people loyal. Forced loyalty is just oppression and pushes people away (The song "Hold On Loosely" comes to mind). You can tell the moderator(s) are now trying to walk that line. I just hope they dont self sabotage by gripping too tightly. I'll gladly use an inferior daw if that happens. Cause they can take my Cakewalk but they'll never take... MY FREEDOM!!!!!!! 🗡️ (Oorah! 🇺🇸)

I just asked my brother and my daughter their favorites. They both gave good ones. My brother said American Pie by Don McLean and my daughter said The Rain Song by Led Zep. (glad my daughter has good taste 😉)

Cheers paulo. Here's a couple vids I think u might like. They give some peeks behind the curtain of the writing & recording of it...
