New stuff to Cakewalk

[op76]

Because moderator wouldn´t change my other topic´s subject, I need to post this again.

Does anybody know, where I can get more MIDI stuff to Cakewalk Guitar Studio (1.0)? I mean those ready MIDI-styles, which you use in Song Wizard (rock, jazz, beat, blues, hardrock etc...).

If you´re interested, you can also check my guitar page with some examples in here:

All right, it seems that no one is able to help me with Cakewalk.

Is there some other good recording program...which I can use for doing midi drums and basses (some sort of wizard mode)? I would be pleased if it´s free, but not necessary.

Remember you are in the Cakewalk Forum...

I suggest you have a look at Home Studio 2002 or Music Creator 2003. Sonar is great (and the best!) if you can afford it, and Plasma is the cutdown-version of all of the above...

If you want to get a cut-down version of Plasma (now it's cutting ), you could get the issue 52 of Computer Music, which features a free version: Cakewalk Plasma Express 2003.

Two things that do this kind of stuff:

PG Music's Band In A Box http://www.pgmusic.com

SoundTrek Jammer http://www.soundtrek.com/

I think I stick to Cakewalk, because I don´t have money that much. Or maybe I start a new band.

Anyway I did a new piece with Cakewalk yesterday (Fugue in Em) and it sounds great. I just need to record guitars on in and reconstruct bass & drums tracks.

You mean Guitar Studio? Cakewalk is the manufactorer, like Microsoft. Guitar Studio is the program you are using...

Cakewalk Sonar
Cakewalk HomeStudio
Cakewalk GuitarStudio
and so on....

...Well, there's a huge big bunch in the farm of free MIDI files across the net. Google 'em. Download as many MIDI files as you can. It's small size anyway. Open 'em in SONAR. Crop and copy the drums track / style. Paste, split each note, and Drag till your hearts delight ®

These three last posts went over my consciousness?

Anyway...yes, I ment Guitar Studio and this Sonar is too expensive for me...so can´t I just drag those googled midi files in Guitar Studio and cut-copy-paste´em or edit in someways?

Sure !!! That's what I do if I'm too lazy to sequence my own drum tracks for "not such important" projects. And even for more serious projects, if I find some interesting part, I do copy and past from googled MIDI files for particular tracks...

Well, James. It depends on Guitar Studio midi-capabilities. Last time I checked they weren't outstanding...

Op76, why don't you try it? You've got to have some midifiles on your computer (do a search for *.mid) and try to open them in GuitarStudio. You will know soon enough...

[op76]

It works I don´t know how I couldn´t do that before, when I tried to open midi. Anyways now I have to find out copyrights and all other stuff, before I dare to use some midi´s in my projects.

Yes, don't risk getting sued just because you use illegal samples/midi-files.

I would say upgrade to a sequenser that let you record your own midi-tracks! Then you know excatly what you get, and you can edit it easily.
