If you were a member on this forum during the hayday of project5 then please post! I remember a lot of you guys and you helped change the way that I wrote music and it was thanks to this community that I signed up for the university course I did (Music and Sound Recording) and am now working for Dolby!

I really hope that some of the old users will stumble upon this page like I just have and say hi! Let me know what you're doing!

Well you certainly don't need to feel silly.

I think most of the members that you seek have moved on to greener pastures. I would like to have kept in touch, but as life goes, so do members of forums.

I'm sure some of them still use P5, (as I do) for if nothing more , for as least a scratch pad. Even though I'm still just a hobbyist, and will never reach the acclaim as many of you, I still can recognize good and practical software. Sonar is great, (and I use it every day) and once I have an idea sketched out I go right to it, but P5 is so simple and quick, it's hard to explain that it is just the right tool when you need it. Cake really missed the boat on this one. They have tried so hard to best the competition that they let a very good program (and it's followers) slip right through their hands.

Bigger is not always better.

Cake ............. you at one time were a leader .............. now you are chasing the the other brands. ................ Stop .............. go back to the day when you were the originators, not the followers.

hey tclark.  Freeky right?

Glad to hear you're doing something you enjoy for a living.  I'm still in touch with a couple of old timers and I put the word out.  Hopefully others will stop by.

Well shoot, I'll sign back up JUST for this thread.
Hope those of you I haven't seen in a while are doing well.

Still making music...under the name cloudwalker.

Not using Project5 anymore...
Though I'll always be a rabid fan of good ol' Rapture.

Would be great to see Phil show up.

I'm always pokin' around from day-to-day to see if there is any action on the forum.  On a side note, the old Project5 Wiki that was hacked and taken offline has been re-incarnated in a new anti-hack static web site form at http://project5.technetos.com/ for anyone interested.

I am still currently using P5 for my productions, even though I have Pro-Tools and Logic...I do not like working off my laptop but when I fully convert to Mac I will use Logic! Been forever since I posted anything on this forum but I still lurk about here and there. I also took a sound engineering course in 2009 and did some internships afterward, but alas nothing really broke for me. Hopefully in the future though.

Nice to see some active members still around these parts :)

I think most of us are still here, but there just ain't that much action anymore.  I guess we are all so expert we don't have any more questions ;-) 

On a side note, I was dumping CDs to my android phone to use in the jeep and came across the P5 users CD for the Dallas Video Festival I did years ago.  Almost brought tears to my eyes ...  But the songs from you guys were really, really good.  Keep posting news of your work here, even if it ain't all P5.

I put most of the old (and I mean old) and newer stuff up for download for those that are interested. :)

Still using P5 - Tried X1, but the sequencer was crap compared to P5's. It would have been nice if Cakewalk just added P5's sequencer to X1, or had the option of utilizing it and the way midi clips are used within X1's interface. It would have been a nice option. I might explore a little more. I think the old sonar you could customize how the tools work within the piano roll editor, so I thought about trying that. I prefer the one tool to add/delete/l and drag midi clips (along with velocity per midi note). work flow is so much nicer that way instead of constantly switching between tools.

I supose most people dont work the way I do though, and actually record in their playing, as opposed to hand building everything. :)

I'm so glad that you guys have responded! Genuinely just brought a smile to my face! :-D

Ecamburn, that's the one - Freeky I am :-) Or was... I tend to do more recording these days but I still enjoy composing the odd bit here and there! The problem has been for me that I'm pretty much all mac now (whenever I try to use my PC it just angers me :-p) and I couldn't get P5 to work properly either on my Windows 7 laptop or running XP on my mac. I have to say I miss it! I guess that's why I came back to the P5 forum - because I miss you guys! :-)

I'm glad to hear that you've all been keeping busy! I still have the 'Dallas Video Fest 06 - When P5 Ruled The World' album! :-D Listening to it now lol... I really don't know what I was thinking about my entry... so weird! With clips from the late Steve Irwin too... But I'm really enjoying the originality in this album. Something I always wondered was why there seemed to be very few people with vocals on their tracks... now I realise it's because that's not what P5 is about! It's about proper, intuitive sequencing and about enhancing synthesized sound and creating huge soundscapes in little time!

I've moved away from Sonar (I have 7 PE) simply because my course uses Pro Tools and Logic and that's what I had/have to mix on... I think it's a shame because when compared to Sonar, PT and Logic are such rigid interfaces! I love the way that you can route anything anywhere! You don't have to mess around with specific track-types and ensure that you have all of your track-typing etiquette in order before you can mix. You just DO it. And I found that was the case with P5 - an attitude of not faffing around with formalities but just getting down to it, get your idea down and flesh it out; worry about mixing and fine details later!

if anyone was interested I do have a soundcloud page (to which I occasionally upload things) with some recordings on. Feel free to check it out - I'm going to check out all of yours! :-) http://soundcloud.com/timclark0000

I'm still here.  Haven't had a lot of time for music in a while, though.
