Does anyone use Cakewalk? I'm having some weird issue with it. Whenever I use the DXi instruments, everything comes in sounding "wobbly." Like, some strange chorus delay. Even when I turn the chorus, reverb, and delay all of the way down, it still happens. My sound card is a 24-bit 5.1 Sound Blaster Audigy LS... but I don't think it's a card issue because this worked fine as recently as two weeks ago. Any ideas?

Also, does anyone know of a really good source for FREE royalty free music that doesn't suck? I need about five or six hard-hitting fast-tempo'd techno-ish songs for a new project I'm currently developing. Everyone charges for techno, and most of it isn't nearly worth the costs they're asking for (not that I could afford it anyway). At any rate, any help here would be cool

Cakewalk eh?

If you absolutely must use dxi and not vst - the only thing I can tell you to do is isolate each effect (bypass it, not just turning the dry/wet down). Other than that, no idea without more information.

And I'm afraid I don't have any advice on free music sites, but of course I like writing music better than coding

I could never find any free samples of good quality

Why make sense when you could make brownies?

If that was a hint Hawke, I'll gladly take it. I hate writing music on the PC. I'm a guitarist and a drummer irl and I've been in a number of bands here in NY, but on the computer I'm talentless when it comes to writing music. If you have free time or spare music lying around we could definitely use some. We're making a 2D fighting game and need techno-ish music that's heavy and mostly drum and bass. I've seen lots of artists online but, like Mattman's experiences, everything I've found was total crap. If you've got the freetime, e-mail me at Maximus_PT1@yahoo.com

Sorry, no, I was just making a statement There *might* be a couple of tunes like that lying around in some of my folders, I'll check for you, but quite honestly I'm waist high in game music projects atm.

It's all good, thanks though. We're working with someone we found off of the gamedev forums. And thank god for that... Cakewalk was making me want my head to explode!
