I couldn’t afford to get my own PC until 92 so by the time I started using DAW’s it was already at Cakewalk V1 for Windows. I only used hardware synths prior to that, or 4 track tape lol.

I had this Fostex 280 with an add on which would stripe MTC timecode too tape so I could use the midi sync.
A zoom effects processor for reverb  ?

GMPI (Generalized Music Plugin Interface) ,  say what ?

Were you holding out on us, LOL  ?

Imagine if it had become the prevalent standard... "GMPI instrument/plugin" is a mouthful. ?

Not intentionally sorry  Two hours isnt long enough to cover 30+ years. I missed a few steps haha.
Here is a post about GMPI from 2004. It was an MMA working group and many high level industry professionals were part of the group. Its too bad that it never materialized since it we genuinely a forward thinking cross platform spec for plugins. with support from both DAW and plugin vendors. But we all know that merit doesn’t drive adoption necessarily.

...on  second thought, maybe it should've become the prevalent standard, hard to pronounce acronym notwithstanding!

@Noel Borthwick    Since you ran out of time with Vin  how about doing another podcast with him and convince Meng to join in.   Would love to hear both of your perspective  on Bandlab/Cakewalk going forward.  

 

Pretty please with low calorie sugar on top

Might have to brush up on my Singlish, though. Yes, that's a recognized language (unlike similar but unofficial hybrid languages such as Spanglish and Taglish).

You would be better off brushing up on your Brit English.
Meng grew up and studied at math at Cambridge, England. He speaks really fast with a Brit accent
