    The Song

    "The Song" performed by Hobo Train. Written by Thomas Wold - Lead Vocal. Its been a while. Here is our rough mix. I would value your thoughts as we are nearly there now. Many thanks. Gary
  2. Hi Pete. First time I ve listened to one of you tracks. I really like your voice. Gary
  3. The one thing I really appreciated about Cakewalk being free at the time was that the developers were not under pressure each year to bring out new features as if it was a paid version. Many bugs have been fixed in Cakewalk since Bandlab took over.
  4. One thing I have been thinking about. Many of us are say 40-70 yrs who use this software and know it well. I see Next being for the younger generation.. but I am sure Bandlab must look further than us oldies and our loyalty to keep things alive??
  5. But Terry times change... technology changes. As things develop your purchased products wont work. Example VST2 is soon obsolete. We could say the same for O.S. too?
  6. I remember all you are singing about... Do you know the pianos on my foot!! 🙂 They peel them with their metal knives. 🙂 Well done Keith.
  7. @Hidden Symmetry I'm so sorry... it was my ears shot!! LOL. Listened again this morning.. this mix is spot on... well different as a fresh listen. Am I hearing correctly on the low mids and high mids? Well at least as I wasn't afraid to say something because your productions are usually top notch!!
  8. I like the track.. very nice. We all paint very different pictures but it seems very top endy and lacking in low mids and bass (not like your usual mixes. This is just my opinion and could be because I have been listening to music all day while snow ploughing with my nuraphones pro buds.

    Sad Day

    Its very strange being on here,,, you feel like you have known people for donkeys years (those who have been hear a few decades). And you literally do feel for them especially when expressions in music plays its part. I listened to your track @Wookiee and the first thing I heard in was for "Whom the bell tolls" which added the wariness/sadness as soon as the track started. Hang in there pal. Thinking about ya, Gary
  10. Very nice. Reminds me when I crossed the Sahara with my Land Rover.
  11. Fantastic Mark. I think the vocal levels are fine. To be honest I dont here much with your de-ess problems you are stating. I have recently been using Synchro Arts Reptich for dessing and other sibilants. I do have Melodyne Studio... but that has gone on the back burner now due to the new program. Brilliant. Love your vocals.

    Coming Home

    When I ws young they were also called "Birmingham Bags"
  13. Thanks so much Steve. It is you guys who have taught me nearly everything I know. And a great New year to you too Sir!
  14. Thanks for the comments guys. I will give it another go.
  15. I run the UAD Apollox8p and have quite a few compressors and other emulations of top gear. The God Particle.. just does it for me. I just use it flat and mix into that and can see whether my mids, and bass are hitting. Mids are what I struggle with the most. Try it on a 5 day free trial and see what you think.
  16. Me like 🙂 That vu meter is very hypnotising 🙂
  17. To be real honest I haven't recorded any vocals with myself singing on it yet and have just been experimenting with the software. I bought all of the mic packages that are available. I did try it on a quick voiceover and it worked really well. The work flow to record on two channels took a little working out (but there are some videos out there to help you) Its quite simple really... if you do get it .. don't add a preamp emulation to it.. as its putting extra colour on the signal which is not needed and takes away from the correct modelling . After a little research there is no difference between the L22 and the new one.. so I would get the old L22 at a discount price. I bought mine for 10100nkr down from 22,000nkr when it first came out... I have a UAD Apollo x8p with digital preamps.. which suits the mic well. I personally have never tried any of the high-end studio mics... but even if I am 90% there... I got one hell of a bargain. : ) I will do a track soon of my vocals on a song and then you can judge for yourselves. @Grem I might give it a try on our song when I get the time.. but i don't think I would be able to match the first performance.
  18. I have the Townsends Lab Sphere L2. I think the top mic is just a rebrand for UA. The software seems to be the same.
  19. New update and master added to new thread here... Hobo Train Re-visited and mastered with your comments
