My guess as to why Cakewalk chose now to make a video of audio to MIDI could perhaps work better with the new Melodyne engine. I will have to re-visit this feature.

The tempo extraction is very good. BobH and I played guitars and sang into one mic. I brought the 4.5 minute song into Studio 4 and the tempo was perfect for 99% of the song. That 1% was in two places in the song both of us strummed one chord then rested at the same time. Studio 4 didn't know what to do with that but it was simple to correct in Studio 4, i.e. much easier than in Sonar. I then added some bass, drums and vocal ahhs. One could bring the song into BiaB/RT to augment the audio track.

The sound editor is fantastic. I told a finger picking guitar part and tweaked it until it sounded like bells. Doubling that with the original guitar part sounded great!

I have yet to try the mult-track function.

Let's keep each other appraised of our progress OK? We should do this via PMs as not the further high jack this thread.

The fitness trainer asked me, "What kind of a squat are you accustomed to doing?" I said, "Diddly."
