I thought an update to this thread is needed so here is the latest information. * Cakewalk by Bandlab (CbB) was updated earlier this month. The current version is 2023.09 (build 062, 64 bit). * CbB 2023.09 has more than 60 fixes. * All prior versions of CbB MUST be updated to version 2023.09. The in...

Try switching to Ludwig drums. Ludwig drums have a more mature sound than Pearls since Ludwig drum shells are tighter and produce a sound with more (tree) rings.

Any update or feedback about the tribute? What did us on the East Coast miss?

This is a short, one webpage article that gives a very brief overview of the studio recording history.

Rick,

You did some serious fiddling in the solo and ending. Mighty fine listening.

The South African distributor for PG Music has some nice prices. Plus, purchasing from a distributor you don't have to worry about receiving a bad download. https://joannecooper.co.za/band-in-a-box

Hi Fred,

I'm looking forward to hearing the songs in your album. Can you post a link to song previews or the album?

Hi Fred,

Do you mind posting a link to some of the song previews or the album as a whole. Thanks in advance.

June 06, 2023 BandLab Technologies announced the development of the free, Windows desktop DAW, Cakewalk by BandLab or CbB for short, will be discontinued and replaced by two for pay DAWs, Sonar and Next.

Congratulations on your purchase Roger! I'm looking forward to hearing your recordings. I think you will have fun using the TASCAM DP-03sd once you get use to it.

I look forward to seeing and hearing a Rick Campbell video song each month. I'm glad you're getting it down to a system since that means more music coming our way.

Hey Ken, Don't worry about it, maybe I should have been more clear describing my intent for starting the thread. I had a Teac A-3340 4 track tape deck with simul-sync recording capability back in the mid seventies. Between the front and rear connections it could handle eight inputs at the same time....

Some of the benefits I recognize for hardware based DAWs are: stability, learning curve, cost, portability and an all-in-one configuration. Software DAWs have the advantage of continuing development, the capability to use loops and plug-ins as well as use of the computer keyboard, screen and process...

Really good results can be found with DAW only work. IMO the only advantages in hardware are seen when: Hardware is significantly better for the desired sound Latency offsets for the time it takes to go back out then back in are compensated for during mixdown Tracking with hardware is really benefi...

DAW stands for Digital Audio Workstation. A DAW has tools you can use to record, edit and mix audio. DAWs can be dedicated hardware or a computer program with an audio interface.

Do you use one or the other or both? What do you see as the benefits and deficiencies of one over the other?

Excellent photo Ronald,

Funny story, when I first entered the thread I only saw the top half of your post so the legs and pedals of your steel were not seen until I scrolled down. My first thought when I saw just the cover was the photo was going to show a restored 80's Kustom PA speaker column!

Jim, thank you kindly for your efforts and for taking tim to make screen grabs. I'm not seeing the same display as your version and honestly, it's feeling confusing as compared to just outputting a rhythm track and playing over it. I'll dive in again when I can get the patience to do so. Very much ...
