All round great groove - very enjoyable listen.

I can't get enough of that eerie mood a classical guitar song can generate.  Thanks for the suggestions. I'll check it out.

Same here, I share your taste.

Bay Of Kings would be another one I forgot to mention.

Lovely work as always - have to agree on the Rhodes solo, didn't really work for me. Perhaps a more sustained EP tone would have worked better or if it was a bit busier - IDK, these things are always a question of taste and it's your song at the end of the day.

You still did a great job and I'm still a fan. ?

Andy

OBS Studio is free and might be worth a look:

Nice job Bjorn - those strums would benefit from being more 'flamenco' in style (i.e. more staccato with a stronger attack) but incredibly difficult - if not impossible - to achieve with a guitar VST I would have thought. I wouldn't really know as I don't really use guitar VSTs.

Nice expressive melody though and a nice balance across the mix - you did a great job and I enjoyed the listen.

Andy

P.s. If you like classical guitar stuff, you should check out Steve Hackett's classical albums - they really are quite exceptional. The following come to mind:

Tribute

Momentum 

A Midsummer Night's Dream

Metamorpheus

Several years back, I converted an obsolescent old Dell laptop I bought as surplus from work for thirty quid to run on Linux Mint.

It actually ran really well and I used it as a music server for a while. Then I heard about a local charity looking for computers and they were keen to make use of it, so I happily handed it over.

They're probably still using it!

Very stripped back, which I like. Highest compliments on the vocals - as the singer is very exposed - there are absolutely no hiding places in that backing track.

Fortunately, the talented Mrs Daryl1968 didn't seem to need any. ?

Great stuff as always

Andy

That's very odd Steve - I don't tend to follow posts or people, I mainly use the unread filter to track new stuff.

You've exhausted my ideas bank on this one I'm afraid - hope you get it sorted as this stuff can be irritating.

I don't see an unfollow link.  Where exactly is it located?

Top right in a browser, bottom centre in the mobile version.

If you are not subscribed to a thread it says 'follow' and if you are it should say 'unfollow'

Alternatively, click on your  Account Name (top right) and select Manage Followed Content

Any of that work?

This is tough to hear Wookiee - my best to you both. If the music works for you - and helps - keep doing it.

Treat this as a safe space any time you need to use it.

And don't forget to take good care of yourself.

Andy

Just click unfollow at the bottom of the post...

Had a listen, think I'll pass and keep saving for EzKeys 2.0 ?

Very on point that Nigel - superbly performed and illustrated in video - as always.

You just keep knocking 'em out of the park - well done.

Andy

Lovely textures Mark - great song - I really enjoyed this. Great work ?

Andy

Dark stuff indeed Jesse - sounds like some AI doll from Hell has got a hold of the nukes and is calling to us from some post-apocalyptic nuclear wasteland.

Great stuff - I feel suitably weirded out for a Monday. ?

Andy

Having been schooled in the dark art of classical guitar (so many years ago I can barely remember), I still struggle to play anything without a footstool. ?

For anyone in any doubt, this is neither a 'cool' nor a 'down with the kids' look.

This is a great song - hooked me right from the off - terrific stuff (oh, and the voice sounds like it's holding up pretty well to me). ? 

Andy

Nice tone on the lead nylon acoustic - cuts through nicely - sax brings a slightly different feel,  really nice groove

Well played

Andy

Great rock chops - I can hear the bass but seems a little lost in the mix - not much I can add to what others have said above.

All the makings of a great track but - if I'd done this - I'd be pretty pleased with where it's already at.

Great job and enjoyed the listen.

Andy

Loving this - great start to my day - bass is a great groove - everything is just soooooo tight.

Awesome - congrats all round

Andy

Sounds great and well-earned. Hope you have a wonderful time. 

Andy

Will have a listen to the previews before I commit but sounds like it's in my zone ?

Thanks @cclarry I may have missed this otherwise.

Andy

I like how the piano follows the drums in places - weirdly hypnotic. 

I don't know why but I kept expecting a guard's whistle despatching a train at some point - perhaps this is your 'Supper's Ready' Jesse ??

Only another ten minutes to go... ?

A truly remarkable piece of instrumentation.

Andy

At least you have the option to refuse, those of us stuck on perfectly good i7700 processors are deemed unworthy by the Microsoft CPU Police.

Not that I mind staying on W10 for now, I just object to being forced into an upgrade earlier than I might have because those CPUs don't happen to be fitted to Surface Pros - funny coincidence that...

I should have added, in EzKeys, make sure you use the split tool to break the song down into its constituent parts such as intro, verse, chorus, bridge etc, so you can apply different variations from midi packs to each.

Don't be afraid to experiment either, for example sometimes using a bridge or pre-chorus variation on a second or third verse can add some an extra dimension you might have otherwise missed.
