Can We Hear What You're Doing ?
I'd love to hear the results of your work with Cakewalk.
If you could post a link to something you've done using Cakewalk, with some details about just what it is we're hearing.. That'd be cool, I think.. As soon as I finish a project, I'm gonna put it up here just so all you technos can rip it apart ! Do I like pain ?.... Well............. Bob Young

Hi Bob,
Have you checked out the MP3 Mixing Clinic on this board? Most of us Cakies normally post our mixes over there for review. Now, do you see the buttons across the top of your homerecording.com/bbs screen? Just over from the logo on the left -- things like USER CP, REGISTER, CALENDAR, MEMBERS, F.A.Q.? Well the one you want to click on is SEARCH - that will open a screen where you can search any forum or the entire site. I suggest a search for DACHAY in the MP3 Mixing Clinic should give you some interesting results... Not trying to teach you how to suck eggs -- just trying to help you get the most out of this site. So, let me know if it is possible to teach old dogs new tricks.  Q.

I'll save you the trouble.
http://home.comcast.net/~jcaporaso/music/ The first one (Does Anybody) is a collaboration with another person who frequents this site (ChuckU). It was done via file exchange over the internet. Chuck and his friends did the instruments, sent me a Cakewalk file and me and my friends did the vocals. The other (How Bout Us) was also sort of a collaboration. Most of the instruments and all the vocals were done by me and my friends. Chuck did the trumpet parts, and Lt. Bob (another Home Rec'r) did the sax.

Thanks Moskus..
I knew that...just forgot... DUH ! Dachay... that's very impressive.. can you tell me about the drums..I'm assuming they are machines..not because they don't sound like real drums but because there are a couple of places where the drummer sounds like he's got four hands ! Are those real drums triggering machines..or what... So....what's your background ? How did you get into this stuff? And really.....how old are you ? Great job on the vocals.. Onliest things I missed were the extra one or two mults CTA always did on backup vocals, and the trombone tag at the end ! Otherwise..this is dead on ! Bob Young

The drums are real. In fact, everything in the song is real except the trombone, which was done on a keyboard. (BTW, I also missed the trombone tag at the end - but I suspect it was just a little too tricky to handle via a keyboard. If Chuck happens to read this thread maybe he'll care to elaborate further.) As for the rest: I'm 56. Play guitar (poorly) and sing (even more poorly). Played in bands in my (much) younger days, but haven't performed professionally in many, many years. A few years back, me and some friends starting getting together on Friday nights. Mostly doing soft vocal harmony stuff - America, CSN, Beatles, etc.). It's sort of like a drunken, Friday night, poker game - but without any cards. Anyways, sometime around 1998 we decided to try and record an album. So we went to a local studio and paid about $2500 ($75 an hour) for someone to record us into a computer. I was already into computers anyway, and when I realized you could record music on one, I was smitten. So when we thought about doing a second album, rather than line someone else's pockets at $75 an hour, we took the money and bought a computer, a compact mixer, a decent sound card, and Sonar (actually Pro Audio 9 at the time). Then all I had to do was to learn and use the friggin' stuff. That's how I ended up at this site. We are still doing the Friday night thing, but now we record a lot of it. Since I found this site, I have also done a few collaborations with the guys I've met here. In fact, as moskus hinted, we are currently doing a version of Ambrosia's You're the Biggest Part of Me that involves many of the guys you have already met on this forum - me, moskus, Porter, James Argo, Bluesmeister, Jagular, Wfaoroni, and Pedulist (I think I got everyone). It's close to being done, but I'm still waiting on a guy who is doing a sax track for us. I'll post it and give you a link once we wrap it up (which should be in another two weeks or so). So, what about you? I get the impression you still play professionally? I need to check out your stuff. I saw you posted a link, but I'm also on dial-up so I've been waiting until I have some free time.

Cakewalk songs
Bob, here are a collection of songs recorded in Pro Audio 9. I've since upgraded to Sonar 3, but these songs still stand on their own. I've been using Cakewalk since version 6.0 in '98. They've managed to keep me with them because they frequently upgrade their product, and they have good tech support. I hope you enjoy them.

Bob Young - finally got a chance to check out a couple of your tunes. BTW, I broke one of my cardinal rules in doing so - I registered at Sound Click. Normally I refuse on general principals to register at any of those sites. Seems like you could at least do a smiley face now.
 Anyway, nice stuff. The two I listened two were country - so I presume that is your main genre. You and Jagular should hit it off famously. Thanks for the listen.

I love Chicago from way back. *sniff* I always wanted to sing this song with a band *sniff*. The lead vocalist did a very good job on this. The BG Vocs are great as usual too. Nice work!!!

Hey Bob!!
I had previously listened to "Christmas In Chicago" at JPF but hadn't gotten around to listening to your other stuff until tonight. Some nice stuff there. I especially liked "Then God Made You" although I didn't listen to all of it. Good sounding stuff there Bob. Especially the Country stuff

Well, I am currently only doing guitar/vocal work tracks as I have determined that, at least for a while, I need to spend much more time writing songs and much less time twiddling with the virtual pots and sliders. I'll get back to a full production some day, but not until I get more stuff written and get my arse out in the songwriting community here in Nashville. For now I'm happy just trying to figure out how to get good sounds out of my voice and my new Martin HD-35
.But...here is what I have been doing. The newest songs are "Where The River Flows" (redone with the new guitar) "What Would Jesus Do?" and "Sins Of My Father" (which is a first draft - I'm sure it will go through some sort of re-write). Here (for best quality) http://www.nowhereradio.com/artists/...d=2282&alid=-1 or here (for smaller downloads) http://www.soundclick.com/bands/6/johnscottmusic.htm

Most recently I completed a song called "Procession". It was actually a collaboration with someone over the internet at a site called www.tapeworm.org. Click on view published mp3s and you will see it 2-3 songs down.
While not perfect from a mix (and performance!) standpoint, it was as far as I could take it with my abilities at this point. I think it is a huge improvement over other stuff I have recorded. In addition to just the knowledge and experience I have acquired over time it is the first track that I recorded entirely through a better signal chain and sound card. BTW, the site is totally cool. You can listen to some clips that people post and either use them to create something new, or contribute to their pieces. And you can then work with people and request specific things. I would say the balance of people on the site right now are more electronic music oriented. As more of a composer/songwriter/part-time-singer I find it great for adding percussion and other sounds.
