Most importantly, how much money is available? I love Barefoot speakers and I’m sure they would work, tho 10,000 USD might be too much. At the lower end of the market I’d go with Yamaha, although every superior speaker they make seems to get cancelled because of manufacturing problems. The Beryllium speakers in my NS 500 became too dangerous to make as did the paper cones in the ns 10. I’ve had the ns 500s since 1975 and still use them at home. By nice hardware that lasts.

The ssl style buss comp is marvelous and works close enough to the real thing. I’ve never used the waves comp, tho. As for the rest off the pro channel ssl modules, I’ll have to go back and listen more. I seldom use the eq because the pc eq is so useful.

You can copy and paste a clip or selected section as many times as needed within the “paste special” command. It is in the paste command itself..

You need to make sure the focusrite is set to the old project rates. Sometimes that causes such problems. Sample rate and bit depth.

Yea. To the OP, samples are snippets to loops of audio. Loops like a 4 on the floor kick and snare drum pattern. If you don't like that kick drum you can find a hit of another kick you like better and manually lay it in over each of those audio loop kicks. Or you can load these snippets into a SAMPLER, which can play back individual hits at different pitches or entire loops. So you could have an entire drum set contained w/in the SAMPLER and play it - usually via MIDI. And edit that MIDI data on screen in Cakewalk. The midi notes aren't audio until played or played back. Kinda how electricity doesn't sound like music until it passes a speaker. of such as a kick drum hit. You can lay in this kick hit over every kick on your repeating 4 x 4 pattern

Modx software synced fine. I didn’t mess with it much since it was a demo but it all worked. I’ve got the new stage organ Fm in and I guess I’ll have to reinstall the software. I’ll report back. It uses some kind of connect also.

1176s are often used on bass, either going in on recording or shaping afterwards. The 1176 can add an edge of distortion to the sound, just a a little that helps push the sound forward. An 1176 is almost like a switch it can be so fast, so just a small knob change can have a large effect in that small sliver of sound. the other standby is the la2a kind of compressor. Or use both together.

Jesse Jost has a 30 min interview about cakewalk by Bandlab. Check it out. https://sonicstate.com/news/2020/09/17/presentation-cakewalk-a-free-daw-for-pc/

Yea, that is it. Great reverb that was fun to use. And educational!

Cakewalk used to have an early do reverb that showed a box shaped and the size of the room.. it was not only their best sounding reverb at the time but was highly educational.. I forget the name but I remember it.

Windows 7 works fine with the cakewalk by bandlab, the latest iteration of sonar.

Or you can pay hundreds of dollars for another capable DAW. It is easy to skip the social media. Ive got Bandlab and cakewalk on an old w7 machine that connects to the internet every 6 months to update bandlab and whatever else needs upgrading. It is my main mixing rig. Otherwise, I ignore bandlab and it seems to leave me alone except for updating.

Thanks.. good stuff

I’ve used The TAscam us series , they share the same drivers so should be good to go for years. Good drivers and hardware. Audient would be my fav sub $1000 line. I use the 44 and find it a hair better sounding than most the other interfaces, so I would go with one of theirs. And 4 is the # of I/o I need.

I once emailed with microtech geffel About repair and even their front desk said check the cable. I had just used it the day before so I didn’t think.. I had barely uncoupled the mic, but sure enough, the cable died overnight w one simple twist. Saved me hundreds and terminal embarrassment, almost tripping the thing back to Germany. @

Be sure that the headphone plug is seated, and then reseat it. That has got me before.

Freeze the track. Copy the resultant audio to an open audio track. Unfreeze the original track and archive it until needed again.

It doesn’t matter, mastering will do that I the end. But At one point many proS wouldn’t track or mix without slamming the ssl buss comp on the master. I don’t use a master buss comp or anything, but I’d be happy to use cakewalks ssl buss comp if I did. Really nice job on that one.

I use cakewalk bandlab on a win7 rig and it works fine. and it won’t overwrite your old cake version already o your hard drive.

CJ, yea, forgot the decimal. - .3 thanks for the catch.

I usually leave -3 dB headroom for conversion to mp3 and other formats. Conversion can redline a 0 dB track.

It couldn’t hurt to try.

Yea, MUDGEL, the iPad doesn’t lend itself to accents and such, and the autocorrect is murder. All that makes proper writing hard to correct. Much like a “free vst list” ?

Rene, but with an accent. He wrote and ended up selling zeta and then working for /with cakewalk on it and the original dimension for p5. That was a big selling point for p5 And outlasted the daw. Dimension became dimension pro, a stand alone rompler, followed by rapture, with a smalll sample set geared for electronics. Rene left somewhere in there but before rapture pro was released. All this is from memory, but the sequence is Correct. there are plenty of free synths out there but no evergreened list I know of. Any list will quickly be outdated and the best bet is ask it on a site like this and whichever other music sites you are registered at: NI, gearslutz, kvr, magazines, etc.
