After reading this I realized my new Cakewalk Sonar did not have the local documentation. I went to Preferences and checked Always Use Local Help and hit apply. When I did some toast messages came up with things I could download to be up to date. One of them was the local Documentation thing. I downloaded and installed it. I closed Sonar and reopened it. I hit F1 and there was the local help documentation. I don't know if it matters but I have the paid version. Dan

Thanks for taking the time to listen guys! We're both only a couple years younger than Neil was and we feel lucky we can still rock a bit. Dan, I appreciate your small nit, as the drummer and recording engineer of our projects I always worry about my drum placement. Never wanting anyone to say, this must be mixed by the drummer. I will consider your recommendation moving forward. Thanks again, Dan

A tribute to Neil Peart…the rhythm track was recorded before he passed away; it already had a strong early-period Rush kind of direction and vibe by design as it was a collaboration between myself(drums and recording) and my friend, guitarist Jimmy Ryan. There we a few places that lent themselves to vocal parts, so Jim wrote the lyrics in his memory from a reverent & heartfelt perspective and there you go. It’s really an extended instrumental piece with vocal interludes. Its a bit long but I hope it keeps your interest. Thanks, Dan Van Schindel https://soundcloud.com/dvsdrums/hero

I did the upgrade, especially at that price. The biggest difference is you can do polyphonic instruments like piano and guitar chords. The normal upgrade was $249. I'm glad I did it. Dan

Melodyne now opens to my default algorithm. (melodic) Thanks Cakewalk!
