Same exact thing happened to me two days ago. I was advised to email cakewalk support by another member. I haven’t had time to try that route yet. Cakewalk is a secondary DAW for me and I’m focused on projects and production at the moment.

I attempted to update my email at Command Center. A very old email was used for my original log on and I no longer have access to it. I got the response that it sent me an email to confirm, which I am never getting. Sadly, It seems that I can no longer access any of my Legacy Products. I was after Rapture. Such an excellent plug in.

The closest disaster that I’ve avoided was with my Rick bass a few years back. I set it carefully in its stand to take a break between sets. During the break, one of the board mixing engineers decided he was going to mess around with cables on stage and started pulling them around the stage. It flipped my Rick face forward out of the stand and skidded across the strange face down. I gasped and was literally afraid to pick it up. When I finally got the nerve, I was surprised to find zero damage on the face of the bass. However, there was a small dent on the backside of the neck. How, I still have no idea. I filled it a little with some super glue and smoothed everything out. You can still slightly feel it sometimes while sliding up and down the neck. As far as guitars go, I own both a Les Paul Traditional and an Eric Johnson Strat. I started playing Les Pauls in the early 80’s. I’ve owned at least 6 different Les Pauls over the years, all seeing live play. I’ve yet to break a headstock after 45 years.

Nice tune, well done by all! Typical excellent Bapu production. How do you guys get Sound Cloud to embed in the Cakewalk forum? It’s very easy on other sites, but I’ve tried everything here and can just not figure it out. I asked this on my tune as well, if it’s more appropriate to reply there.

By the way, does anyone know how you embed Sound Cloud on this forum? All other forums I belong to embed the song. 😐 OK, figured it out.

I am continuing to update some old songs with new plug ins, Superior Drummer 3, remixing and remastering. This is another song from over 12 years ago. Let me know what you think of this mix; hopefully I've grown over the years.

I’m not sure if I could survive that long without ice cream. Thats brutal and sorry to hear this.

Well, it’s 13 hours later and we’ve yet to hear from T Boog. I recon he hates us all.

Thanks Steve. No I have not made any adjustments to the mix and your hearing the original post. I was waiting to her additional opinions on the overall mix and was going to just go back, hopefully once, to tweak. I’ve had several other mixes that I’ve been working on in the mean time.

Thanks Paul! All very valid points and things for me to consider.

Here is another song that I am reworking from the past. I did a complete update on plug ins, amp sims, drum software, attempting to bring a fresh version to a solo album compilation. Let me know what you think.

The feedback that I receive from this forum has always been invaluable. Thank you Wookie for pointing out the background noise in the recording. I was able to go into the Lead Vocal track and reduce much of the hiss. Still a touch there, but much better I think. Abbey Roads Chambers seemed to really be accentuating the hiss and pushing it forward in the track. Moving to a different reverb plug in, seems to have helped that a lot. If its still really noticeable, I guess it would take some repair software to clean up the track...or record a new vocal.

Hey Wookie, Thanks for listening, hope you've been doing well. Good suggestion on listening in mono; no I have not checked that. Real bummer on the background noise you are hearing. I thought I had done a better job masking the noise. This is obviously a really old recording done in more primitive times. Maybe 20 years ago in my early days of recording. I ran this one past Beagle (Reece) before posting and he didn't mention it, so I thought I had done a better job of hiding the noise. I guess I could investigate picking up RX 11 Elements or something and see if it can be cleaned up some more. There is always the option of retracking where there is noise, depends on which tracks I guess. I need some of the John Lennon AI cleaning software on this one. 🙃

Extremely well done. You captured the essence of McCartney’s vocals for sure. Love the instrumentation, very well done. This is up there as one of my McCartney favorites as well. Happy that you could post this as a cover. I’ve got a cover of Come Together that I’ve done, but I really never know what to do with it, as most of the internet music sites say, “no covers”.

This red one and the other blue one, made me beg my parents for my first guitar.
