I must say this is a very interesting topic ...it is so rational and civil I simply can't stand it
 
I wonder what will happen in The Music World and too Digital Music Production when all the DAW's of the future gain Artificial Intelligence and that becomes the New Industry Standard  ?
 
all the best ,

 It's not a new concept I suppose. There's a bunch of people who have been running on artificial intelligence for years. Must have lost the real thing long ago :)

"It was twenty years ago today..."
 
Well not quite, but close, when I walked into a software store in the Mall (remember those?). I believe it was called Babbage's, the predecessor to GameStop.
 
Since I owned a Windows PC, and had seen a Mac setup for music at the local music store, I asked the guy if he knew of anything like that for Windows. He quickly replied "you need to check out Cakewalk!".
 
I did.
 
Cakewalk is still my standard :-)

Industry standard, still trying to figure exactly what that is - it's one of those "relative" things...

that is a distinct possibility .
 
 
Example A , Of an Innovative DAW that has adopted The New A I integration as the New Industry Standard  ...
 
In the future I will be able to say ,
"SONAR can you dial me up a  few nice suggestions on how I can improve my song and mix " ? "I think the EQ sounds I'm using are way off . I've exhausted myself to the bone over here exploring what I can do with this song on my own " ...
 
SONAR , Ken what would you like me to do ?  Would you like me to run The Virtual Craig Anderton Mix Diagnostic Wizard ? 
 
K,  That suggestion sure sounds good lets start there . 
 
SONAR , OK , here's what I've found ...you are using way too much compression on all your tracks . Some of your playing on the tracks need a lot of tightening and you have a clash in the low end between your Bass Guitar part and the Bass Drum . Those parts that are clashing also lack distinction . The timing is off and they are canceling each other out .
Besides dialing in the timing , I think we need to fix the EQ on those tracks and send the low end straight up the middle .
 
Once we fix those issues K ...would you like me to suggest and analyze 4 Grammy Award Winning Songs for you from a Musical Genre that resembles the current Musical Genre you are attempting to Compose in ?
It would be no trouble to do that for you . I can also reroute your tracks for better busing , perform ARA conversions on some of your audio for you and implement better synth sounds that will fit your song so much better that what you have been using ...
I know how much you hate too have too sift through thousands of synth patches just to find a sound ...
It would be no trouble at all . Ken why don't you go fix yourself a cup of coffee .
When you get back , I will have the 4 new versions of your song I mentioned too you dialed up and remastered for your consideration .
 
Note to future self ,
I'm sure glad Cakewalk  decided to include The New Virtual Craig Anderton Mix Diagnostic Wizard in the latest  SONAR upgrade .....
Man , I think I'm starting too like this whole new future DAW A I Industry Standard thing .... 
Now,  I don't want to go home .....Please Don't send me back to the year 2016
 
 
all the best ,

Just study how "Sweet Dreams" was recorded.  It is about talent.  Almost all equipment and software now can get someone with talent where they want to go.  Can Sonar?  Obviously, with room to spare.

I got "Pro Tools First" to see what I was missing - I had been using Sony Vegas Pro as my DAW - then I bought a Tascam US2x2 that came with a "light" version of Sonar and the interface was much more intuitive to me. So rather than going with the "industry standard" Pro Tools I bought Sonar Platinum. Money wasn't the issue - enjoying the recording experience was.
