Thank you Nigel!

Thanks Freddy, I'm glad you enjoyed the video! Jerry

I hope not! Thanks for watching/listening Old Joad!

Thanks Bjorn!

Thanks Base 57!

Thanks Martin! I have a 130mm refractor at an observatory in the mountains of New Mexico, about 1000 miles from where I live in San Francisco. I operate the telescope remotely and download the hundreds of "subs" (many frames are necessary as exposure times are in hours) and process them at home.

I hope this 6' 42" video brings you some transcendence, peace and a short escape from the chaos and darkness that politics is bringing to our beautiful world. https://www.jerrygerber.com/video/Across the Universe.mp4

Thanks people for listening, much appreciated. Jerry

Finished the composition/orchestration a few nights ago, completed the score yesterday and the recording this morning. On to the Adagio.. Thanks for listening! Jerry https://www.jerrygerber.com/symph13mvt2.htm

True, a company has to make money to keep developing its software, of course. I buy software from a lot of companies, and many have both a subscription model and a traditional model of paying when you want to upgrade. Seems to me that's the best of both worlds for both software company and end-user. I've supported Cakewalk for decades as it's the best DAW ever made. Yes, I've tried numerous others but I've always come back to Cakewalk. I've produced 12 symphonies, 17 albums, 11 soundtracks and countless short works in Cakewalk, I really love the program and wouldn't use another DAW unless I was forced to. I only ask that Bandlab consider offering the software as BOTH subscription and purchase models. In the meantime I am content using Cakewalk by Bandlab as it does everything (and more) that I need it to do. If Sonar is offered non-subscription I'd certainly take a serious look at purchasing it.

Sonar will be a dead duck too if they are losing long time customers. Cakewalk is fine, yeah, it will fade away one day, and so will you , I and everything else. I've been using Cakewalk since 1991. Your "simple concept" may apply to you, but not to everyone. You should be insecure about an app that is available only by subscription.

Great, that helps, thanks. If and when Bandlab decides to offer Sonar on a non-subscription basis, (many software companies have an option to buy the software or subscribe) then I will consider upgrading. Otherwise count me out (a loyal customer since 1991).

I've been working in Cakewalk since Cakewalk for DOS in the early 1990s. I continued with nearly every upgrade through Sonar and am now running Cakewalk by Bandlab (the free version) for several years. It's long been my DAW of choice even after using Digital Performer and trying Pro Tools and Reaper. Can someone tell me the differences between Cakewalk by Bandlab and the new Sonar? It's more out of curiosity as I don't buy into the subscription model for software. Bandlab is losing customers in my opinion by not offering Sonar in both a subscription and non-subscription model. Nevertheless I am interested in what new features Sonar has that Cakewalk by Bandlab does not. Thanks, Jerry https://www.jerrygerber.com https://www.youtube.com/@astromusicvideo

Thanks! I have a 6" refractor, 1000mm focal length, it's a good scope. I scored for film, TV, animation, computer games, documentaries and industrial films for 12 years but lost interest in doing soundtracks and wanted to focus on more complex music that I have control over. Best decision I've ever made, at least in terms of music.

Thank you Martin, very glad to hear you enjoyed the piece! Best, Jerry
