I would download midi files from the net at work, and take them home on the floppy. I also looked enviously at the Mac sequencer they had set up at the local music store. Those were happy days, for sure :- I rather feel like a dinosaur now. Things have changed a lot. On and on. For better or worse, it has been an evolution. When Cake released the first Sonar 1.
Then a few years later, along came P5, wow! Then Cake bought rgc:audio and went headfirst into virtual instruments. I really hoped that Cake would step up the game in the direction of P5, I really liked where things were going But on the DAW frontier, being able to record audio tracks into a midi sequencer, and with Sonar evolving into a reliable DAW, it really created a whole new opportunity for non-keyboard musicians. Finally, there was something there for guitar players!
Not that there is anything wrong with guitar players. Some of my best friends sling a 6 stringer :- If you look around now at the music production world, it is obvious things have changed. It seems the kind of workflow that P5 enabled is mostly favored by the EDM and electronica folks. You are probably correct that this workflow did not really click with the mainstream Sonar users, as well as with Cakewalk marketing to the mainstream.
It was slugging it out with the big DAW boys, now! So, in the end, I agree that at least we have been given these tools to work with. And some of them still rock! So there are times that a simpler workflow is appealing.
I am even thinking about giving Band in a Box a try Soundwise posted about Ignite a few days ago. It looks promising, and parts seems very P5-ish to me. BobF Soundwise posted about Ignite a few days ago. It's interesting to me as a sketching tool Thanks Bob! Great find! I downloaded the demo. Will have a go at it. I was just about to post that 2nd video you added. Nice workflow, seems even simpler than P5. There is a NAMM video from when the product first announced.
The stated purpose is to provide a song writing tool for musicians that veers away from the heavy engineering tech of a DAW, allowing for easier creativity in an intuitive interface. Sort of like the original intent of Project5! Things have come full circle, LOL! I really like how it even initially skips over requiring the use of a track or a matrix type grid. You can just get ideas down into clips first, then later organize them into song parts or grids, etc.
That is even simpler than Ableton or P5. It even has Band in a Box beaten, in that you do not need to key in your chord progression first. The MIDI instruments have chord, pattern styles, and arps, that can be used for accompaniment tracks.
They just follow along with what you play, i. I think he's just excited! Cakewalk, now you need to get to work on a plugin like this! Best regards, John. OK, tried the demo of Ignite, and here are my first impressions You must install the iLok to complete the activation If it detects your keyboard, great.
If not, you're out of luck. No VST support, you are limited to the included instruments. Not really bad, considering you can use this as a scratchpad, then export the midi and audio track to your DAW for polishing I noticed a little bit of latency running with the default audio WASAPI drivers, especially when using the chord or phrase mode.
