the advantage of making a cwb file is that it will only grab the audio that is still being used by the project, without all edits and takes that are not used anymore, and still you can compress it to a rar file. gracias. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Phil Muir" <ddots@xxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <ddots-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, May 05, 2008 8:04 AM Subject: [ddots-l] Re: song demos Or, if your using per project audio then, you could just grab the project folder that contains all of the project audio data, plus the .cwp file then, using Winrar, turn the project folder into a .rar file. That will be significantly smaller in file size to a .cwb file but, still contain all of the data, when unpacked from the .rar format.

Perhaps others have better ideas, but that's how I figure you could do it... You could send them to me Via "yousendit", and I could send my tracks back with yours the same way, as I have a "yousendit" account. Or, if you run "servu" ftp server, or have access to an FTP server??? There's lots of ways to go about it. Nick P.S. What did you think of my perceptions of your stylistic influences? Am I close to the mark or? --Original Message Text--- From: thomas de rosa Date: Mon, 05 May 2008 03:50:19 -0700 Nick, thanks so much, I appreciate it very much. The first song had live drums but the rest were midi or loops. I could use a real drummer on my songs. I don't know how but I would like to try, if you would like to figure out how to send you tracks and you could lay precussion down and send it to me. Do you know or care to do that? Send me your address and when I can I'll send you a copy. The cd has 9 songs on it. Regards Tom ----- Original Message ----- From: W.

Seemed like homages to Dylan, The Grateful Dead, Eagles and the Band in feel style and sound. Delicious, I'd buy the album and attempt to romance my Fiance to it. It doesn't get much better a recommendation from me than that. I would've liked to have done the percussion on all of it, and heard a harmony on the chorus of the second song, but other than that, I liked the overall sound and mix. Nick --Original Message Text--- From: thomas de rosa Date: Sun, 04 May 2008 17:21:06 -0700 Hi all, I've just finished a year and some, learning Cake Walk with the CT scripts with a lot of help from all of you. I put some of my songs on my space to get some feedback. I'd appreciate it if you guys would check the songs out and tell me what you think. I know that mixing is an art and takes a great ear but I gave it my best. It's a demo. Appreciat your comments. I did all the vocals, lyrics guitars and midi stuff.
