Subject: Cakewalk over VST
Original Message Date: 14-Aug-98 @ 06:38 PM - Cakewalk over VST
pretty colourful setup but does seem to be very crappy on performance. I bought the Producer Pack
and after checking up on it(WEb,stores) I returned
it right away before I could start messing with its potential problems. My opinion is that some
music manuf. do not take the PC platform very seriously or why would they release such sloppy
software, is it just to satisfy all the people who
own a PC, give us all a bone to feed on, then get
right back to work there MAC stuff!!!, making sure that baby runs JUST Perfect....
So anyway I got Cake 7 - and its pretty good - the
latency thing sucks and the Pitch to Midi thing is
a fucking joke. I would rather they put more into
audio stuff and skip a little on all those 'features' , anyone agree. SAW and Samplitude look
interesting - but aren't really MIDI sequencers.
All in all it is good , has a more sterile look about it - I guess they spent more time on actually making the thing work then painting pictures.
To recap just a bit, I don't know, but around me
most musicians swear by the Mac and look at me funny cause I use a PC, they always point out that
pros only use Macs(I have to say this seems to be true from what I've read) so whats going on ??
Responds and comments very welcome

I agree, its A LOT of information. Took me months to figure out what I need. However I agree, for sequencing, use hardware. Its more direct, and don't "forget" waht your idea was when you had it! Hardware also had better timing.
Anyone have any other thoughts?

one do the effects to master track and reimport, thereby
sparing CPU? Is that the workaround? Because I assume
it's effects that gum up the works...also: anyone got 4.0?
