    cubase or cakewalk...or neither?

    Notice I didn't say that there was no difference of sound between apps. I'm talking just about the audio engine. To me as a developer I would have been very surprised if there was a difference at that level. I can't back my statement up with links or such so you don't have to believe me. I...

    cubase or cakewalk...or neither?

    I guess that was meant for me? Sorry you took it that way. But seriously, you mean if Sonar has the feature implemented with a different name and/or in a different way it doesn't have it? For all I know Cubase might lead the feature race at the moment. That's not my point - I was responding to...

    cubase or cakewalk...or neither?

    I didn't want to get into this debate - I'm really tired of it. Basically I view both Sonar and SX as serious apps with lots more features than I could use. But as you put it like that Sonar has 30 different configs for surround. Probably not 10.2, didn't know SX had - previously was a...

    Vintage Synth Sounds: Genesis, ELP, YES, Moodies...HELP ME!!!

    I second this. I'm a happy camper with SS2 and it is what I go to when hunting vintage keyboard sounds. A cheapo version could be to get a sampler and get Hollow suns collection though - not downloadable for free anymore. But very nice collection and quite cheap... SS2 site...

    Sampletank 2 XL

    I jumped on that deal and have had the Sampletank 2XL for a few weeks. S2XL really does make my life easier and the sounds do seem to integrate very well with each other without being too polished. At the moment I seem to prefeer it over any other tool at my disposal - including Sonic Synth 2...

    what reasons do you guys have for using cakewalk?

    Like crosstudio I've been with Cakewalk since the company was twelve tone systems & the sequencer was Cakewalk (2.0 to be exact). Before that I used Voyetras Sequencer plus on a floppy but when that messed up and I had a lot of trouble getting back up I was dead set on NEVER using software with...

    drums?

    Session drummer is pretty ok. And the pattern brush tool is a godsend at times - easily overlooked. Personally I'd like a small midi drum controller but it haven't made it to the top of my priority list yet. btw. A tip as the question was in that direction. nusoft/Dash has a groupbuy on their...

    Best piano instructional software..

    I use Piano suite from adventus. Pretty good all in all, I did get my moneys worth. But I'm not fond of the copy protection and there are a few bugs too many for my taste - but no showstoppers, just small annoyances... http://www.adventus.com/

    Sound Module in your Computer?

    Some of them, I would recommend checking out the reviews at www.kvraudio.com and then download the demos, shareware or freeware that you think you'd like. There's not so many softsynths that comes in standalone versions, most are what's called VSTi's - in those cases you have to use some kind of...

    What was your first guitar?

    Levin acoustic that made my fingers bleed. I painted it white and smashed it to pieces as a revenge. After that there was a Hondo II, I really think that guitar was made of fibre board. Awful, really awful. The first one I could actually make some noise with was a Harmony Les Paul copy. I...

    James, I need a new sampler, and samples

    I would hang around at KVRAUDIO, make a thourough evaluation on freebies (and different forms of donationware) before putting any money into sofsynths. The ones I've mentioned (PRO53 and PPG) I've tried. I even have a stupid song where I KNOW it's the PRO53 missing, and i can't seem to find a...

    James, I need a new sampler, and samples

    That would be nice. If you see me drifting in the wrong direction feel free to push me in line. ;) Can't say I have looked much at Arturia. Maybe I should. I gave half a thought on their CS80 and at least was interested enough to read the newsflash on their ARP 2600. But I'm really at a stage...

    James, I need a new sampler, and samples

    I just purchased Sonic Synth 2 (8 GB of sound and a sampleplayer). I had Sonic Synt 1 before since the groupbuy on KVR and was very impressed with it (and the included "orchestral strings"). I've been told that part of SS2 will be excellent for autenthic progressive rock with roots in Yes...

    Sonar 4.......some questions

    1) Sonitus yes (but I use Studio, so I don't have them :( ), the Lexicon reverb I find better than its reputation. The other stuff is ok. I don't hesitate to use it... 2) I thought so. But the last year I've heard several people complaining that Sonar is harder than Cubase to get into. So I...

    Tracktion tryout

    I think you can download the file on the page where they tell you they will send it by email. If I don't remember incorrectly. Strange, but that's how I remember it... I got my mail, but then I already had been registered a few days.

    244 Legacy

    Should have been right about when I bought mine. I used it as recording device until Cakewalk Pro Audio 4 came. And for a few years after that as a nice little mixer. Now it's in storage. Couldn't get rid of my buddy... I'd say I got my moneys worth from it...

    whats the most unerrated GUITAR?

    Can I second two brands? I think I've got one of those. At least I have a Westone Pantera X275 that I paid $110 for - next to nothing, it's built by Matsumoku (like my Aria bass btw). If the Blade is a Rolls the Westone has more of a Corvette-feeling.... ;) Well built - like the Blade it has a...

    whats the most unerrated GUITAR?

    Only had mine (Durango Hybrid) for two years. But I'll second that... I was really aiming for the RH4, but this one got in the way. No regrets.
