Singing is not all about pitch, that's a fact. But neither is Melodyne. There's way more to it than just scootching the line up 'n down. It also handles transitions, phrasing, formants, dynamics, vibrato, and timing. That's why I said "really good" - meaning to go beyond its basic functions. And realistically, achieving proficiency with Melodyne is within the reach of more people than will ever become really good singers. All this is just a little tongue-in-cheek. Everyone should work on their singing, just as everyone should practice their instrumental chops. We can always get better at whatever we do.

There is a third path: sing it yourself and get really good with Melodyne.

^^^ +1 That's a great one, especially given its price (free, or a suggested $5 donation). It's the only library I have with people shouting "KILL!" in it. Although I haven't found a place for that sample yet. You do need full Kontakt, though, whereas the Boz samples have their own player.

Get the bundle (snaps, claps and stomps)! I use all of them pretty regularly.

No. It's unlikely your problem originates within Cakewalk. (Whatever it is, it would probably apply to Cubase as well.) 1. Can you open the project by right-clicking on its name in Windows Explorer and selecting Open? 2. Does it work correctly after a cold start (via the Restart option, as opposed to shutdown/restart)? If the answer to #1 is yes, then the .cwp extension has somehow been disconnected from Explorer's file associations. If the answer to #1 is "no" and #2 is "yes" then you have a zombie process running that's preventing CW from starting up.

Good to see a shout out to the mostly-forgotten champion of the Hammond organ, Rosa Rio. Then there's Ethel Smith, who was in a class by herself:

You can also buy new tape cartridges for your Roland RE-201 Space Echo. If you're that gullible, anyway. Last price I heard (a couple years ago) was $250 each.

Just leave your SONAR installation in place so you can continue to use its effects and VIs. Your current and past SONAR projects will load up fine in CbB and you can continue on without interruption (other than maybe stopping by here with questions about new features).

Please, no bass player jokes. This is a serious thread.

I think we should all just standardize on ticks.

I understand there's also a "breve", and it's not a beverage. I wonder if my barista would interpret "semibreve" as an 8-ounce breve. I've always thought it strange that we've had to learn Italian in order to buy a coffee. Who gave Italy that authority? Coffee should be ordered in Ethiopian, should it not?

Have you ever actually uttered the term "hemi demi semi quaver" when communicating with other musicians?

Next you're gonna tell me Bill Gates didn't slip me a 5G chip in the last "security" update! I was looking forward to the upgrade.

Damn fact-checkers ruin everything. You couldn't just go with it, Craig?

2/2/22 will fall on a Tuesday.

TIL this fun fact: the most iconic bass line in history - talking about the Seinfeld theme, of course - was not played on a bass. It was a keyboard. Yeh, and the guy who played it was probably the un-coolest nerd in the band. The one with a "Math is Cool" t-shirt who plays D&D on Thursdays and knows for a fact which one was the best Star Trek captain. Take that, you cool bassists with your dark glasses and your motorcycle boots and, and, and your girlfriends.

For me it was the first time a big-box store employee tried to explain to me how computers work.

Your best advice is right there in the error popup: contact the vendor and send them the crash dump. They'll be able to quickly determine what the problem is. Could be the C++ Redist version or some other dependency, or it could be a bug. Whatever the problem is, odds are you won't stumble upon a solution on your own.

The problem is not with the OP's routing or export options. He's already determined that it's stereo, by playing the MP3 in Cakewalk. The problem is therefore in the playback software. I suspect that all MP3s lose their width, not just ones EmV created.

I have 73 keys on my synthesizer. I think there may be one that I've never played. I have 88 keys on my piano. Even my cat has played all of them.

Import your mp3 into a Cakewalk project and listen to it. Is it still mono?

The top one is the spittin' image of our Miss Bean. Except for the mask. Hers has a skull on it.

No. I tried, but I have no feeling in my fingers. Perhaps this is what arpeggiators were invented for.

Today it's a walk-in freezer.

Unfortunately, that won't save you much time or effort if what you want to do is shift a bunch of keyswitch values up or down an octave. It's not a search-and-replace kind of operation. More like search and add 12. It'd be a nice feature, to be able to select all articulations and shift all their values in one action. This has happened to me, where I've entered what I thought were the correct keyswitch values only to realize after considerable data entry that they're all off by an octave.
