Well this is awesome. I just found out that Cakewalk by BandLab is free now. I was thinking of ordering a USB adapter for my guitar, but then I remembered that my amplifier has a USB connection, so I’ve been fiddling around with the program for the last several hours.
Check out this test jam I recorded. It turned out sounding Peter Framptonish. The octave harmony part (that sounds Framptonish) is where the vocals would be.
I also tried the intro to Fade to Black by Metallica, not 30 minutes after downloading the Cakewalk software. It’s a bit rough, but it sounds good to a studio rookie like me. My Lynnie thought it sounded terrible, but she doesn’t like Metallica anyway.
