What's the general consensus? Money well spent? Is it as good as you hoped? Better?


It was money well spent here.

I already mentioned the sound manipulation that I have done but for me the biggest benefit for me is the tempo extraction. It is extremely easy to extract a MIDI tempo track from an audio track. BobH and I played Knocking on Heaven's Door with no click track. Brought the wav into Melodyne, extracted the tempo track, loaded the MIDI tempo track into Sonar, brought the song wav into Sonar and everything lined up perfectly. Then I added drums and a few other patches. This should work in BiaB/RB also.

In the summer BobH and I like to sit outside and just pick and grin. I have been recording a few of these song jams via my Tascam DR-05. If we wanted to record a song we would have to go into the house, set up the equipment and record with a click track. No more as now I can take the wav from the DR-05 and create a tempo click track from said wav. I huge time savings.

I got banned from Weight Watchers for dropping a bag of M&Ms on the floor.
It was the best game of Hungry Hippos I've ever seen!
