Hi Wookiee .  Dark and foreboding indeed.  Also quite impressive. I echo the statements of KSband above.  I am overwhelmed by the number and complexity of synths, sounds and "toys"out there.   For me - it makes what you do all the more impressive.  Great stuff pal!

Thank you Freddy J, you are impressive yourself.  

As t said classic Freddy J nice as ever, will keep the furry ears for the Covid recovered vocal, not sure it needs it really Freddy.   

Good to see and hear you Kakku.

Very nice, bright airy mix, space for everything to breath. Sweet Steve very Sweet  

Cool grooving sir cool grooving.  

@Cannimagine historically when new versions of SONAR where released they installed in a parallel directory within the Cakewalk directory structure. 

On my current machine I have both SONAR Platinum and CbB. 

Within the Cakewalk directory tree there are two significant directories 

SONAR Platinum which hold the program code unique to SONAR Platinum 

Cakewalk Core which holds the program code unique toCakewalk by Bandlab 

Then there is the other directories that are shared by both programs.

I suspect that when Cakewalk Sonar is released we will see a new directory in that tree which will hold the code unique to it.

All we need to do is patiently wait whilst it finishes baking in the Cakewalk oven.

Blimey mate  I can't afford that toy !! She would leave me LOL

I am blessed, Ms Wookiee has in the past brought me, an Ibanez guitar, a Novation KS Rack, Korg's M1 and Wavestation in VST when they were first released as the initial Digital legacy, Arturia's CS-80 VST version 1 pre the V collections. She is a beautiful soul.

@Supa Reels if you haven't tried them give the Moog Moogafooger FX a try, very analogue, capable of some deeply disturbing effects. It may be why you thought I used the Z3TA+2.

For clarity Bandlab purchased the intellectual property rights to the source code related the software SONAR. 

They did not purchase the business Cakewalk Inc. or any other aspect of the business. That is still owned by Gibson. Any grief over what was paid to Gibson needs to be taken up with them Gibson.

At the time, 2017, a class action was discussed but we realised we would probably lose more money than it was worth pursuing.

Very engrossing Wooks, would have liked to have had a build up to a drum intro to carry the instro to another level.  Didn't see the old Z3TA + 2 on the menu but I thought I heard it ?  🎧

Much Love

Steve

There are always options, the muse didn't bring me that one, thanks for thecears and time, no Z3TA +2 this time but there is always a future possibility.  Synths are picked at random sometimes other times because of their capabilities.

This seemed like it was over way too fast.  Well done, mate!

Thanks Lynn, possibly , I was experimenting with those new toys that arrived during black Friday and around. 

I like to groove of this, good tubes sir good tubes.  

Another cover, one from a lter album that I don't know. My only thought is the drums sound a little boxy, but that could be tired ears.

Enjoyable chill, it does feel like a change in the basic strummed guitar would not go a miss perhaps just fade it back or even mute in some places.

Tidy collaboration, nicely done  

Nice  

Pleasant little ditty, nice clean mix,

Nice groove, busy mix but maintains good separation.

Hi Wookiee . . . super symphony of synthesizers ! Lots of upbeat movement, with that air of danger lurking in the back, the familiar feeling we all know.

From there to there, and here to here, and there to here, and here to there, and everything in between.

Curious, are all the toys you list "in the box", or do you have a collection of old analog hardware synths in your studio ? (lurking in the back)

Thanks, nice to know you enjoyed. Regarding the synths I wish, but I am totally in the box these days, have been for the last few years. Still have some hardware but I suspect I will sell. I was pleasantly surprised by the value of some of it, like the JV1080 still worth what I paid for it originally.

Me like.  🙂
Some old school and Vangelis touch?

Thanks Gary, probably, old school synths will do that 😀

This would be a good soundtrack for a movie. I quickly get overwhelmed by all the synth choices, there's too many, so I just hardly ever use them, lazy on my part.

Can be tricky to pick, I have over 200 soft synths, a few are the same synth just from different sources. I understand how easy it can be to be overwhelmed by them, all those intimidating knobs and sliders. Start with one and then learn it, soon you will understand that they are all much the same in how they do it and what does what. The difference is how the contures respond, the difference in the filters and resonance, what the oscillators are capable of. Then there is the modulation sources and destinations. Yep your right they are intimidating 😳 

Thanks for the ears, time and comments.

Very foreboding, lots of cool sounds.

Thank you, it was partly intended to be a little disturbing, nothing quite like a little dissonance. 

Keep testing guys, you will eventually score, mean while giving us ideas for the list.
