I'm sold on CAKEWALK PRO AUDIO 9 !!!!

[RAO]

first of all I'd like to thank everyone at homerecording.com and all the people that read and respond to these threads. I finally got the hang of Cakewalk and I'm recording some really cool stuff. I burned some tunes on a cd and it sounds fantastic !!!!! So I'm making my new cd which I hope to complete soon (smooth jazz type stuff) I will probably try to sell it on the net. Anyhow I'm excited, I've gone from tape to cakewalk and I'm very happy.
The people at Cakewalk need a metal for their work !!!!!!

They'd probably prefer a medal!

now that I have Cakewalk down I'll start working on my spelling. Thanks !

The midi sequencing, mp3 ripping and wavform editing (with plugins) are great......however, once you try Sonic Foundry Vegas Audio you will be in heaven.

[RAO]

Ok does sonic foundry work in conjunction with cakewalk or is that another platform ?

[Gargamel]

They are 2 separate platforms. Don't get me wrong...I love Pro 9. Vegas is perfect for straight forward digital audio tracks. If i'm doing a project that contains midi and audio I will do all of my midi stuff first, then convert the midi files to wav files ---> I record the midi tracks to my vs-880 via the line out into the vs880's inputs ( as a stereo pair ).....I'll then send the midi tracks back to the computer and record it as a wav file and import it into Vegas. Once completed I will do all of my audio tracks in vegas.

Gargamel - that seems like a lot of bother when Cake will handle it all efficiently.
cheers

Gargamel,

Cant you just select record midi on your soundcards mixer control and then setup a wav track to record in cakewalk to convert to wav???

Well thats how i do it anyway and you can record it as a stereo track too if need be.

[Gargamel]

I do it this way because there are a lot of times I need to go back and remix or change some of the midi tracks. 2+1=3.....1+2=3....Different strokes for different folks.

tried vegas (been there)
tried cakewalk (done that)

have them both, use them both but i,ll stick with cake anytime.

I use them both (Vegas Audio 2.0 and Cakewalk 9).

It depends on what I am trying to do or create.

But....I seem to use Cakewalk 9 more often that I use Vegas Audio 2.0.
