CWHS 9.0 license question ...

Salleke.... I feel your pain... I too started digital recording with cakewalk's Pro8 deluxe...just one software generation older than 9..... I remember when 9 was released...

So imagine how I felt when I bought MC4, and sat around for a week just trying to get some sound out of it...I was ready to pull the plug and call it quits....but I decided to learn this new program, and I'm glad I did.

Actually, MC4 is a simpler program to use in so many ways. It doesn't have all the features of 8 or 9. However what I'm thinking you are experiencing right now is problems getting past the learning curve and to me the biggest part of the curve...or so it seemed...was learning how to use soft synths...because we didn't have to use soft synths with the older stuff.

Give yourself a few weeks before you decide to quit on MC4, and work with us and we'll do our flat out natural best to get you up & running with MC4. Trying to figure out MC4 by yourself is difficult, and tech support will not help you, however, you have a very qualified and capable team of experienced users here that will help.

So lets get started.... first... give us the specs on the computer you're using...desk or lap...speed, ram, operating system, and brand name..... also tell us the specs on the soundcard you're using. factory card or after market....if aftermarket..which one.

Once we know that ...we can start getting you going.

Oh yeah...almost forgot...Welcome to the forums...

I also feel your pain, i started on CWHS 3.0 which was a floppy disk midi only software. I learned a bit, but as the years went by i bought MC 1.0, then 2003, then MC 3 and it has proved to be a nice software. You are 60, but some of us are not far behind you, i am 51. I also spend a bit of time over at a forum for PG music, and the majority of the folks over there are in their late 50s to several are in thier 70s they are solid helpful folks that have mastered this hobby and are recording like crazy.

Work with the good folks here and they will have you up and running in no time. Feel free to register at my site "Music Town" the link is in the bottom of my post, and make a time to meet someone in the chat room to get real time help if needed. There is not usually anyone over there but if you leave a couple times you can be there folks can see if they can make time to meet and help.

OK SALL.... let us help....
