Others mentioned 2020 Band-in-a-Box is available as a 64 bit program and a plugin is available for use inside a DAW. More features a 2018 user might find significant are: multi-riffs available inside Band-in-a-Box, a new version of the Elastique Pro time and pitch stretching software and user select able one to four voice automatic audio harmonies are available and based on passing tones,

Cakewalk by BandLab support for Native Instruments NKS has been requested in other threads. The latest is +++ HERE +++

All well said before me. I enjoyed this. Weird stuff with the cigar box lap steel

@steve@baselines.com, Thank you for taking time to document and present your method. I don't think I would ever have thought of dragging the tempo graph line up and down to adjust the tempo at a specific point. Brilliant! I can't wait to try this out. There normally are more than one way to perform a certain task and what works for one may not work for another. I'll have some fun learning which method sticks with me better.

Mike, I watch each of your Cakewalk by BandLab videos and have even watched a few of your Studio One videos (just for grins!) and find them enjoyable, This is the first video I've seen that uses an AUX track. Now I understand at least one way AUX track can be used. As always, awesome video!

I would love to be able to disable the smart tool and be able to select the default tool from the tool module. I think it's better when you're first starting with CbB and audio production to select the in use tool. By limiting the in use tool to one tool at a time a new users can pay more attention to which tool they are using and better learn the tasks each tool performs.

@steve@baselines.com I read and reread what your saying but I'm not familiar enough with the CbB interface, tempo maps or editing tempo maps to understand or visualize the steps to perform what your saying. Videos or animated GIFs are most helpful to me. By the way, I enjoy and admire your music. You have a nice touch.

Thank you for telling me @paulo. I was not aware the information was originally posted in Deals. Somehow I missed @TracingArcs July 01, 2020 post and I apologize for the oversight. For those that missed the original post, here it is: https://discuss.cakewalk.com/index.php?/topic/16923-bandlab-introducing-albums/&tab=comments#comment-142391

Very useful Will. Thank you!

Interesting take on a oldie for sure. I like the use of the electric sitar.

Interesting song. Well produced, the pedal steel is used sparingly but is a really nice touch. I hope I can develop a touch as delicate as yours one day. Side note, I was stationed down the road from Amarillo at Reese Air Force Base near Lubbock. Truthfully, don't miss the place a bit. There's a reason Mac Davis felt like writing "(Lubbock) Texas In My Rear View Mirror". ?

Did you know BandLab offers a free platform to sell your music? You can publish your album or EP for free and receive 100 percent of all income made on the sale of YOUR music? Sell Your Music & Receive 100% Of The Sale I wasn't sure if the Coffee House or Deals was the best section to post this so moderators feel free to move this post.

That's great. I'm glad to see BandLab has changed their shipping criteria.

Love this video. I've watched it multiple times and, with practice, I'm finally starting to get the hang of it. The bugaboo is the drastic slowdowns at the end of a song, I haven't quite figured that out yet.

Great video to watch. I'd heard of this technique but never observed it in practice.

The Beatle's Rubber Soul album was released in both Mono and Stereo versions in the US. Stereo was some tracks full left and other full right with almost no center. Even then it felt very strange to hear vocals and bass hard panned. I read someplace that days were spent on getting a mono mix right but sometimes less than an hour was spent on a stereo mix. Back in those days mono was the preferred mix for popular music and stereo the preferred mixed for classical so no one cared about pop music stereo mixes.

They've been available through the BandLab online store for a year or better. My memory is the digital devices are locked at 16/48k and are Windows compliant so they use built-in Windows drivers. There is no free shipping unless your order is for $149 US or higher.

Very nice cover. Good vocals and backing tracks. The arrangement is JUST different enough to remind the listener this isn't the original. To my ears the stereo field is a little wide; but that's a matter of taste. For many songs of the era mono was the preferred mix because the songs were played either on AM radio or a jukebox. So the pop stereo mixes either were heavily center weighted or full left and right with little center.

Congratulations on getting into your own space. I like your new setup but it is impossible to see what you're doing in this video.

First of all, welcome to the forum and to Cakewalk by BandLab. You've asked a great question. To properly answer your question it's nice to know what music genre Future funk is part of. That gives me an idea of how the music is created, through recording or electronic music. I performed an internet search and Wikipedia states Future funk is a sub genre of Vaporwave. That tells me you are more interested in creating electronic music than in recording musicians or singers. Deeper reading reveals Based on that article I'd think you may want to look at what BandLab Assistant and the online Bandlab platform has to offer in addition to looking at Cakewalk by BandLab (CbB). While CbB can certainly be used to create electronic music, it may not be the best place to start or the best tool for the job. BandLab Assistant offers many free loop packages that are suitable for use in creating music based in electronic music while the online platform offers many tools to enhance the loops. Cakewalk by BandLab calls loops "Groove Clips". The program is one of the few that can be used to create loops. I would use the program to create loops, use the loop matrix to assemble them into tracks, use the console view to add effects, use the tracks to consolidate the clips into a continious audio file and then combine everything into a stereo mix. I'm a beginner myself so I may not be the best advisor. I'm sure others will chime in and offer specific suggestions.

Found this one today! Link to 200+ VST Plugins

Thanks to everyone for the great feedback. I knew my forum mates would give me the straight scoop. The Spaghetti Western plugin is the reason I was steered to the site in the first place. Even at list price of $250 it is an amazing plugin that I'd love to play with. I did an internet search for the plugin and guess what site was at the top of the list. I'd never heard of the site until then. When I saw the plugin priced at $60 my first thought was WOW! I know the list price is $250 so I immediately became suspicious. The overwhelming majority of my software is free. or donated by fellow forum members. Some forum members have multiple product licenses and generous enough to donate their extra licenses for Melodyne Essentials and Kontakt 5 to me. I'm extremely grateful for their support.

Check the Workspaces at the top, right of the interface. Set it to "None" and see if they are grayed out with no Workspace.

Has anyone had any dealings with http://vst-club.com ? The site's prices seem too good to be true. Melodyne 5 Studio for $10, FabFilter Total Bundle 2020 for $10. Fluffy Audio Spaghetti Western $59. All available for digital download or boxed! I'm not trying to give them free advertising. I just haven't seen prices like this for boxed product so I'm wondering if the site is one of those too good to be true sites. Feedback is definitely welcome.

I had the pleasure of seeing the tribute band, 1964, in the early eighties. The performance was in a college student center nightclub that held perhaps 200 people so the performance was up close and personal. The visuals were spot on and the sound perfect. During intermission the audience was invited to come up to look at the equipment and chat with the mates! I have been a big fan of the band ever since. The Analogues is a Dutch tribute band. I've watched YouTube videos of their Sgt. Pepper, Abbey Road and White Album performances. They set a high bar performing studio albums live. Hopefully they will bring their show to the southern part of the US. I'd love to see the act. YouTube has a wonderful 60 minute documentary of the Analogues recreating Magical Mystery Tour.
