    Cakewalk by Bandlab installation disc

    Just checked Reaper. $60. Not bad at all. I think I paid around $500 for Pro Audio 9, and then a few more shekels over the years for upgrades. But I don’t deal well with new learning curves at my age. If CbB puts the new Sonar out at a similar price, I might go for that. In the meantime...

    Cakewalk by Bandlab installation disc

    I got burned by this already. Bought a fairly expensive orchestral instrumentation package from Native Instruments. Loaded it on my computer, and used it for a couple of projects. A couple of years later, I installed a new hard drive, and went to reload it on the new drive. I had 4 DVDs...

    Cakewalk by Bandlab installation disc

    Ok, I took the plunge and downloaded/installed CbB. Everything went well, and it’s so close to Sonar there’s essentially no learning curve. ?? But I have one question. The installation process has you download a small install file. Then it grabs additional files from the web as needed during...

    Cakewalk by Bandlab is restructuring !

    Haven’t visited this forum in awhile. Like many of you, I’m a longtime Cakewalk user (pro audio 9 iirc). Stayed with them through Sonar X3, which happens to be what I still use. It obviously hasn’t been updated in years, but it does everything I need it to do. Running it on Win 10. Bandlab...

    Let the Rockin' do the Talkin'

    Not my genre, so take my comments in that light. Guitars are nice and thick. There's a bit of conflict though between the guitars and vocals. Not sure what it is. There is one guitar panned pretty close to the middle. Maybe move that to the right more. Open up some space for the vox,. But...

    Hanging Tree (Remake by my 12 yo daughter)

    Man, I wish I could sing like that at 12. In fact, I wish I could sing like that now. :) She's got good pitch and a nice emotion (where does that come from at 12?) . Guitar work is nice. But... it's all a little harsh to my ears. I tried putting an eq cut at around 2500-3000, and...

    Deja Vu anyone? - Female Alternative Rock

    A little too much reverb and autotune for my particular taste. But I think that is pretty normal for this genre. All in all quite listenable. Nice feel. Nice production. I can see this being a hit in dance clubs.

    Complications

    Yeah, put them on opposite sides and spread them further. That alone will make a big difference imo.

    Complications

    This is better. Bass has a little more meat. Lead guitar still sounds a bit wimpy to me. There's another guitar that comes in around 2:00 that has a much better tone. I'd prefer that throughout the song, maybe with some volume envelopes to bring it in and out where needed. The acoustic...

    The Road

    Still a bit jumbled to me. The vocals are panned pretty severe, mostly the right one. I'd bring them more toward the middle (15% L/R) and move some of the instruments to the side. One rhythm guitar still seems panned pretty much in the middle. I wouldn't put a guitar in the middle - too much...

    Broken Dreams

    Nice. Easy listening. But the reverb is over the top to me - even for this genre. I'd dial it back a bit.

    The Road

    Nice song. Knee slapper. But everything seems panned directly in the middle. Makes it very hard to distinguish the pieces. You really need to spread this out more, and I think it could be killer.

    Bright Shiny Guy

    As already noted, lacking in low end. Otherwise has a mid-60's vibe. Nice harmonies. Catchy, growing on me.

    Nobody Home

    Overall pretty nice. I'm not familiar with the song. Some observations - the delay on the vocal seems distracting at times. Is it really needed? The mix seems to be a lot of pads, and a piano. Needs some other lead type instruments. Electric guitar? Sax? Something. Anything? Quite...

    Flat Rock -Final Mix - (again)

    :thumbs up: The vocals cut through quite nicely now - without any loss on the guitars.

    New song called......"The Reason"

    This is pretty nice. Not sure of the genre, but the vocal reverb is very heavy. However, I think it might actually fit with what you're trying to accomplish. Same with the heavy kick. Not how I would have mixed it, but works for this. Nicely done. Girl has a really nice voice. (I just...

    As we Italians say, Saus-eech his own. Appreciate the feedback.

    "Shade Fails" - Rock tune in progress

    Very nice. Can't wait to hear the vocals. Hard to judge some of the stuff without the vox, but everything so far sounds crisp and clean. The only nit I have is that I felt some of the panned guitar fills should have been panned center. Like the fills at 1:03 and 1:13 and 1:18 I thought...

    Tell Me What You Wanna Do

    Not sure I follow. That line (or a variation of it) and the underlying chord progression (F Fm C) is in the song several times. The first couple of times it appears, the progression goes to an Am directly following the C chord. So changing the C to Am would have it go Am to Am? Doesn’t make...

    Flat Rock -Final Mix - (again)

    My issue was the vocal tracks weren’t as clear as I thought they should be. I first thought backing off the reverb would help with that, but then I thought maybe a wider pan on the guitars would work better. Hard to tell without being able to make the adjustments myself. Glad it worked out...
