The idea is the same, you need to leave yourself plenty of headroom, be much easier to mix a cello and a piano together. this is one of my favourite classical pieces, I'd recommend this a reference. One of the finest renditions of it I've encountered.

ripping a song off of youtube won't provide the correct LUFS value as the original track, so is pretty useless, the best way is to use a wav or flac track, the trick is to use a few of your favourite songs as a reference, buy them from bandcamp or someplace. This is for mastering purposes obviously. if you are wanting to use reference tracks for mixing it might not matter, but it seems counterintuitive to use another song as a reference for a mix, every song should have it's own unique mixdown, that's the art of mixing. ? find a guide for gain structure and use that, basically mix your bass and kick drum together first using a VU meter , when both combined hitting about 0 on the needle, and mix the rest in to suit. (a VU meter should be calibrated to far lower than 0dbfs (digital 0) between -18 and -12 dbfs) https://www.masteringthemix.com/blogs/learn/118131269-how-to-balance-kick-and-bass-in-a-mix

GML and Binson must be a bit more lenient than "Manley" allegedly.

Echorec is pretty good.

UA connect /ilok may not recognise your new drive, may still be connected to your old drive ?

As far as I understand it John, is, is that up until a certain point you will be able to download an installer for cakewalk (CbB), the original free version, this will be to keep forever (or as near to) and be able to be activated forever or as near to, at some point this will cease and after that point new people will not have access to it (too late sorry buddy) so when it is still available for activation but not any more available for download , you better make sure you have a copy of the installer stashed in a folder somewhere just incase of worst case scenario ( OS reinstall, ect) This is the situation as I understand it. get on the damn train before it leaves the station. ect, ect.

I have the product centre installed, I have the files saved in a seperate folder. I think this will be useful incase of a need for an offline reinstall in future if needed, If for some unforseen reason the d/l file become unavailiable directly from Bandlab. belts and braces John, belts and braces.

Download the Cakewalk product centre, and save the last released (most recent)cakewalk installer and associated installers/files to it also. Then you will be able to reinstall offline if anything goes wrong.

People say is there any sound in space, you could imagine that playing up there. be great if outer space was full of music like that.

The reason is, is that CbB will still run for a while but won't be left available permanently, so the people who use it up until it's not available, will need it after this time to redownload / install incase of any mishaps or OS reinstalls ect. I would recommend saving it on your computer with all CbB software in it. Just in case. or else you really will be only using Sonar.

very nice delay, good deal.

Isn't pro tools rental daw for professional studios, some of these people pay over $1000 per year for it, so I believe, The Industry standard. all tax deductable of course.

Cheapskate.

Hello John I have an old copy of Sonar 7 on disk, do you think I will be able to activate it once again? when I bought a new music computer (win xp installed) I was unable to access the activation servers. I have recently started going back to 32 bit daws and using j bridge. Would be interesting to see if I could get it running on win 10.

I think if the people who ran the Cakewalk forum did a raffle once a month for a free years subscription to Sonar, that would be quite good, ask that Mike Creative sauce chap to do it on his facebook page. he has over 10,000 followers.

if you know the right people you can get a perpetual license.

that would be the MSDA , shurely ?

what you need to do is get a monitor control room volume box (a volume knob) set it to the correct volume, then never touch it , mark it with a permanent marker or put tape on it. I have a pair of computer speakers with a volume knob on one of them, they have a strange quirk where the headphone amp bypasses the volume knob and they even work on headphone when switched off. the volume is unchangeable. Very useful for "perspective".

The latest Spectralayers is supposed to be the best one, rip x is still full of artifacts.

Nice songs. Where do you get the vocals from on your various songs ?

I think their server gets overwhelmed, I've used it numerous times on the promos and had a buffering payment screen, one of those things imo.

they are not a big company, I believe there is only 2 of them running it.

Tbh, If you look at the bandlab site and the other brands associated that are mentioned above, they all run on a subscription model, seems to be the preferred way for that particular company? but who knows, I do agree if you are using a product you should be able to own it outright.
