Hello, I read your post and I agree with you somewhat. I have been doing recording and mixing for some time now. And yes, I have even worked with tape myself. I have manipulated tape because that was all I had to record on at the time, I even recorded with 3 different tape recorders to achieve a phasher, echo and slapaback effect. Over the years I have also come to realize that you can get certain software's to get these effects, I am an avid user of Cakewalk, Music Creator, and other software's to do my recording's but I have also found that you can have your music scored in a chord structure you can get someone to do this, or you can let band in a box do it for you and if you know anything about cording you can go through it to re-create the songs that where once treasured to you and do a mix in BIAB, take it into a studio or if you have a recorder digital you can record your own vocals on it. It is a lot easier to move on to new things, but if you just have to do it re-create the arrangement in BIAB and it will be done right with the advent of Real Tracks. I did a song back in 1994 and I re-scored it with the original sheet music and it came out rather impressive. At first this song was just a guitar vocal demo, then recorded here in Butte, Montana with a sax as the solo instrument, then with some other friends that where musicians, they all did a good job, But BIAB did an exceptionally wonderful job. If you would like to listen here is the link to that song...

Music is an expression that is a universal language, Never criticize anybody to harshly. They need time to grow but when they do, they do. Always be kind in what you say and do because the man upstairs is watching.
