ReReasoned Cake Benedict Roff-Marsh 2022-05-12 | This is the same MIDI as yesterday's Cakewalk Test video but a new version so they are not meant to be the same as such.

I must say I really like the lead in this.There is a Reason update 12.2.6, which we sorely need after the last bug-creation version, but it won't update.

Cakewalk reTest Benedict Roff-Marsh 2022-05-11 | I had issues with Cakewalk when I owned it as Sonar 2 and it seemed pretty scruffy when I did a review a few months ago. People were upset. People only seem happy when I use "their" DAW. So with some unallocated time, I had another look at the cake today. Admittedly it is a pretty simple project. Interestingly, many of the things that I talked about in my review (which I know that Bandlab saw) seem to have been improved or plain changed. It seems better overall. This is good because there are some really nice things about Cakewalk. :-)Hire Me: benedictroffmarsh.com
Dandelion - teaser: Midsummer Night Dancers Benedict Roff-Marsh 2022-05-05 | This is a track that will be on my next record: "Midsummer Night Dancers". This track also has the somewhat meaningless accolade of being the first time I have completed the composition of a track entirely in the Reaper DAW. Normally if I happen to have a bit of inspiration whilst in Reaper, I stop and port it back to Reason to do the "real" work. This time I plowed on through and it worked!Official: benedictroffmarsh.com
Rare Rubato in Reaper Benedict Roff-Marsh 2022-05-03 | I have had cause to look into Reaper more recently and after trying some different Themes have started to be able to understand some more of how it all comes together. This is the "Peace" theme that I must say I find a lot easier to work in than anything else. Again it is often a case of thinking about how you want Reaper to function, then finding the closest Settings to match. Flexible but like shifting sands too. Still, I am getting there.Does it matter, in some ways no, the DAW I use should be between me and my God/s but not everyone sees it that way.Hire me: benedictroffmarsh.com

Summer Gold - instrumental first mix Benedict Roff-Marsh 2022-02-17 | This is the first run-off of a new track. The project is centered around ideas of a farming lifestyle (such a common theme in electronic music).
