Doesn't the Backup/Restore Settings feature in preferences work with these interfaces?

I don't have these exact ones, but the last time I used them to switch between my RME and Focusrite, it worked fine.

TBH I've never used Backup/Restore Settings feature in preferences. I'll give that a try. Thanks.

In two other DAWs (who shall rename nameless) I can do this, bit CbB or Cakewalk Sonar.

I have an Apollo interface ecosystem (an x4, and three x8p Thunderbolt units) and a Presonus USB Audiobox 96 interface (both ASIO) connected to my machine.

Whenever I want, in those two other DAWs, I can decide which interface is to be used for the current session (both are always set to 24/48).

Not so with CbB or Cakewalk Sonar. When I open either one only the Presonus Audiobox 96 is recognized. In order for CbB or Sonar to recognize my UA Apollo Thunderbolt ecosystem I must disconnect the Presonus before opening CbB or Sonar. 

Is there a way to recitify this and operate like my other DAWs?

Did hell just freeze over?

I use Sound Radix Autoalign-2 on live drums on all tracks but the "rooms". Somewhere I heard that kind of defeats the purpose for those tracks.

Cool. 
Got a hint of DP from the Coverdale/Hughes era and even Rainbow from the Dio period, despite the lack of a heavy organ.
I like it.

Organ shall be coming soon to a Songs forum near you. 😉

Verse 1:
What has become of the world today
By the ones who think they know best
We gained so much they threw it away
There's nothing left for the rest of us

Chorus:
Animal Instincts rule the day
We have no control over the way
We behave when we fear
Any danger that may appear
Animal  instincts  will always rule the day

Bridge:
If we rise together we can win
And take back what was lost
We don't have to live with all this sin
We'll do what we can no matter the cost

Verse 2:
The world is upside down I see
What was truth replaces with lies 
Virtue has gone extinct slowly
All that's left is the battle cries

Chorus:
Animal Instincts rule the day
We have no control over the way
We behave when we fear
Any danger that may appear
Animal  instincts  will always rule the day

Bridge:
If we rise together we can win
And take back what was lost
We don't have to live with all this sin
We'll do what we can no matter the cost

Chorus:
Animal Instincts rule the day
We have no control over the way
We behave when we fear
Any danger that may appear
Animal  instincts  will always rule the day

Every once in a while, I like to get a "pro" opinion on my mixes of original songs I've produced (and played on).

This past Friday on the publicly open Produce Like A Pro Feedback Friday livestream on youtube, Warren Huart gave a review.

His review starts at 12:03.

That's the shizz bizz monkey boy. Great mix.

The Enemy Within (s Us
Copyright (c) 2025 Edward Kocol

[Verse 1a]
Lookin' right in at me
It's the enemy within
We are born with a flame
And it's him we could've been

[Verse 1b]
So give the ghost to yourself
And to hell with all the sin
Oh we could just be someone else
'Cause the enemy within

[Chorus]
Is us, been there since the beginning
Our love, knowing we never win, it's
The enemy within is us

[Verse 2]
You could never ascend
From a place you've never been
Come on let me be your friend
'Cause the enemy within

[Repeat Chorus]

[Bridge]
Why oh why cant we see
The enemy is not you or me
Lets all be sisters and brothers
And not look upon us as others

[Repeat Chorus]

[Verse 3]
We can make it all end
Speaking plain as friend to friend
Brining back all we had then
'Cause the enemy within

[Repeat Chorus]

[Verse 4 - same as Verse 1b]
So give the ghost to yourself
And to hell with all the sin
Oh we could just be someone else
'Cause the enemy within

[Repeat Chorus]
[Repeat Chorus

Waiting for it to come out on free TV.

Rumor has it that it will come out on free tv in 2069 (100th anniversary).

Flipping through the channels the other day I came across a show called "Gibson TV The Collection". This particular episode featured Slash showing off his guitars. One 50s-era Goldtop after another. Plus, a sunburst or 5.
The host said, "there has to be a Fender in here somewhere" and pulled out a 1964 (?) Fender Bass 6. I'd never heard of that model before. A 6-string bass from way back in the last century?
Does The @Bapu have one? was my second thought.
Apparently, they still make them.

I had one (Epipjone version). Eye diinit liek et. Sold it.

Lennon played one in the Get Back series by Peter Jackson. If you saw it then you probably just registered it as a guitar.
