Hi Jack - I think this comment might be for a different song. Steve

Absolutely! Thanks Tom.

Thanks for listening and commenting!

Here's a song I wrote on my new piano I got for Christmas, the first one! It's maybe supposed to signify the relationships you form throughout your life, the happy and sad moments and then alone again till the end. ? https://baselines.com/?p=6395

Hi Tim, yes it has been an interesting ride! Except for bass and most of the guitars, it is all midi plugins. Since I enjoy doing a direct copy, I put a copy of the original on a track, set the tempo map up to it, and then (sometimes painstakingly!) figure out each track. I'm not a great singer by any stretch, but having the original vocal available helps me to try and get some sort of acceptable vocal. Then there's Melodyne LOL. Steve

Thanks very much! I hope you like them all! Steve

Thank you Mark. Some folks like to change up covers so they are different. I can understand that, but personally I like trying to figure out exactly what was played. I think at least for me, it helps me learn new things. Steve

Thank you Tom.

Thank you for the listening and commenting Andy. Steve

Thanks Larry - I appreciate you listening. There are actually 20 songs on the collection. I guess I'll have to see if I can make that selection box bigger!

Thanks very much Jack! Steve

Love it. So much fun. Good work! Steve

Great groove and message!

You'll be back! I went from Cakewalk to Studio One to Protools ... and ... back to Cakewalk. Well, even if you don't, best wishes. But ... you'll be back LOL! Steve

Love it.

Hello fellow production and music aficionados. Hope this brave new world is treating you as well as can be expected. I finally gathered together a bunch of the cover tunes I have done with some very talented Bandlab people, and released it on an album called Cover Story. I don't think I will be posting it to all the usual places because it'll cost me $15 a song to get the rights to release it (ridiculous). Anyway, here is the link and I hope you like it. These are some of my favorite songs over the years. https://baselines.com/?p=6387 Stay strong and keep posting your material here. You are making the world a better place. Steve

You are not alone!

As small of a change as it is, it is one of the examples of thoughtfulness. At lease for my process, it saves a couple of steps. I am talking about the popup that appears after exporting something that allows you to go to the location with a click. I generally take the export file and post process it in Ozone. To whomever thought to add it in, thank you.

Thank you very much for the feedback! Steve

Thank you for listening and for the feedback! Steve

You should use Wordpad instead. With that you can add eighth notes and use hexadecimal. That will cut your release time down to years instead of decades ?

Thank you for your feedback Tim!

Exactly! Thanks for listening.

I like that they didn't abandon me without a solution. I had recently (at the time they threw in the towel) purchased the forever free updates version, which is seamless to the way it is now. I like that the software developers are competent and pay attention to detail. The changes they have made all seem to make sense. I like that the documentation is now so much easier to find things in. I really like the improvements in tempo map (but I think the last update messed with the tempo line resizing - it's not as easy to zoom now) and in combining sections of a track without clicks, pops or other noises (without having to spend an hour to find the right spots) I like that the product has been pretty much crash free for me for a long time. The one thing I don't like is that sometimes when doing things like typing in a track name, I haven't made it so it was editable, and it leads to a lot of unintended keystroke settings that do not get tracked in the undo stack. That's caused by me though, so can't really blame the software for that. I haven't had to use any of the transient stuff, so I don't know how much that has improved...it wasn't good for a long time in my opinion. The fact that I don't have to use it is because of the improvements made elsewhere.

Thanks Jack!
