is there any place to get cakewalk programs such as guitar tracks pro (other than trials) for free?
 
yeah... whatever as long as it works just like the overpriced store bought version
 
Well that depends. You got any cool shit laying around your house I can come over and steal?
 
Yeah, give us the keys to your car.... we promise we'll be back in just a little bit!
 
Maybe the "overpriced store bought version" wouldn't be so overpriced if everybody payed for their copy.
Creating good software is not cheap.
You can get free recording software on the internet,
but then again you get what you pay for.
 
One Falling...
Go ahead and drop the bucks and get the real thing.

That was Mushmouth

Yeah, Fat Albert Rules !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Cake Walk

Yeah that was his name...Mushmouth...

Y'know the deeper I get into my home studio the more and more I am not liking my Pro Audio 9.0 software. It seems that the pops and clicks don't go away even after I followed everything that cakewalk said to do. I even went the extra mile and got a faster hard drive. Does any body have any suggestions?

The other side of the coin: Maybe more people would have bought the software if it wasn't overpriced? :) Just teasin' ya.
 
Yeah, your right, Cakewalk doesn't make any money on it's products. They are not worth about 17 million dollars or anything!!! Sure, I'll go out and spend $550.00 on Sonar YYYYEEEEEAAAAHHHH RIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have been working with Cakewalk products for a very long time and I've had my fair share of problems. Maybe when they get their program to run a little better, I'll start shelling out the bucks!!!

Where the hell are you buying your software?!?! Sonar XL costs $299 at my local Guitar Center.

As for running well, I've been using Cakewalk on and off since like version 4. Never had any major problems.
 
I would have gladly paid full price for my copy of SONAR, only if I could actually afford it. In fact, I vow that one day I will do it. I am from Russia (lived there until I was 15), and most people there make like $200 a month. Talk about paying $299 for a program...

And now I am just out of high school in US, living on my own (earning the living being an underpaid computer programmer). My parents, being immigrants, have no money either. How in the word am I supposed to be able to afford these programs??

I am a musician too!!

Sonar is a professional tool meant for professionals. It comes with the territory. If you can't afford that, go buy Home Studio 2002.

It takes, time, money and people to write software like Sonar - do you expect them to get nothing for it?

I have an idea, since you are a musician, go out there and play your music for free bars, and give away CD's of your music as well - how would you like that?

I love people who complain like that. Buying software like this is just the cost of doing business (being a musician) - if you know what you are doing, you make money off of it and recoup your investment. Its Business 101.

How is a woodshop going to do work without equipment? You gotta spend money to make it.
 
I will have to absolutely agree with you on all the points you've made. I would have truly felt guilty had I been born an American citizen. The problem, though, is that I have been put into a financial disadvantage from the beginning.

I went to a school with kids whose parents had tens of thousand of dollars in savings. We, on the other hand, a family of 5, had to live on a very modest salary that my dad was paid as a contracted computer programmer (the rest of us didn't even have visas that allowed us to work!).

Now, finally having my work autorization, I am a computer programmer myself. (Belive me, I am one of those that know how much work it would be to write anything like SONAR) It pays pretty decent for someone who is just out of high school, but now I have to earn for college. And I dont have my parents to help me.

Hey, when I have $20,000 in stock options, like most people I know here, and I am married, and I am able to buy my kids "Abercrombie & Fitch"-"snob" clothing, THEN I will go out and buy SONAR.

I can sympathize with your situation, and will always say life is what you make it.

My father is from Brazil and has 4 sisters and 2 brothers. His family did not have much growing up. He put himself through school and was accepted in a program because of his grades that let him come to the US for college. He in turn, got a good job and the rest is history.

You Dimmi, I'm also a computer programmer and believe me, computer programming doesn't pay as much as you'd think. I was able to afford to buy Sonar XL though. The key is not to tell the wife :) !
