Thanks Ross!!

Thanks Jack, Kevin and Lynn for your comments, much appreciated!

I've made a ballad version of the 1971 Deep Purple classic, Fireball.  Completely different from the original!

As so many have said, Waves need to retreat from this or they will lose a lot of customers.  There is a huge amount of competition among plugin manufactures. Waves have just made themselves superfluous!

Was this ever resolved?  I see the same issue where plugins (effects or instruments) on deleted tracks show as loading when the project is opened even though they are now, no longer used anywhere.  It is not causing a major issue but it would be nice not to waste time (and possibly memory?) opening these plugins.

I'd never heard the original, so I too had to  look it up.

Outstanding cover of a beautiful song.    The vocals really shined.  I was getting a hint of some Phil Collins. Really well done.

Thanks Jeff!

Thanks everyone for your comments, much appreciated!!!

Thanks everyone for your comments!  There is another,  less well known,  Gerry Rafferty cover on my channel from the Snakes and Ladders album called "Welcome to Hollywood"  (I left out the spoken parts at the start and end)

Lovely song with great lyrics!

Very interesting and enjoyable piece!

Great job. 

On a personal level I find it a bit reverb heavy, but that's just my preference.

Are you playing the sax in this?

Thanks for your comments!

I have just started using Baby Audio's Crystalline reverb (which I love) so I may have gone a bit too far with it!

The sax was actually recorded from a keyboard, edited as midi and then used to trigger the Native Instruments Kontakt  Factory Library alto sax. I am still looking for the perfect virtual sax which I think is the most difficult instrument to emulate.  A real sax player would of course be best...

Here is a cover I made of this Gerry Rafferty classic, hope I did it justice...

Lovely song and great production!!

Great work!  Lovely backing harmonies.  I would love to hear your version of Fox on the run, that song holds memories for me.

I love both of these covers, especially "Don't dream it's over".  Excellent vocals and great production!!
