About halfway through this, I was distracted, and when I started listening again I thought I was hearing Crowded House before I remembered who I was listening to.  Your songwriting is brilliant from top to bottom!  In a just world this album would go to number one.  It made my day!

Thanks Lynn.  You are very kind.   I do feel I took a step forward with this one.   

Is it still ok to say "album?"  Or, collection of songs?  Anyway, I hope you like it.   This was my lock down project that spilled over to this year.   The album is titled, "Signal Run."  There's 10 songs.

Very catchy and very good performance.    

You know if I could write and perform like this I would always be looking for Sync opportunities so I can quit my day job.    Sounds great.  Good luck.

Is that a Gretsch Duo Jet?  😍

I totally dig the vibe.  Really cool.  I don't think 80's so much.  I think Death Cab for Cutie.  Love the drums. 

This is so cool!  Great mix.  Very clever sync to the video.  Love the space in this tune.

I dug it!  My only crit, maybe because I'm a bass player, more low end! 😁

I didn't take the time to look closer, but do you have links for originals?

I suppose I'm lazy and could go to your soundcloud page..........

Originals are also at http://jmasno5.com They are linked to Bandcamp.  https://masarone.bandcamp.com/

That was bit of fun blast back to those saturday morning TV Monkee's shows.

Thanks.  You must be young Wookie.  "Saturday morning!"  I remember when they were prime-time.   I was in the single digits but remember it was "groovy!"  😁  I still remember when my older brother brought home their first album.  I played the crap out of in on my parents big Hi-Fi piece of furniture.  You lifted the lid to play a record.  It was as big as the console TV.

Thank you everyone for listening and commenting.    It is always a great help.

Nice tight, clean clear presentation. Love the guitar work.  Did you play all the instruments?

I believe the vocals could be turned up just a bit.

I listened to rain also.  You are very talented at what you do.  super duper

Thanks, Jesse! 

Yes on the instruments.  This was a rare time I actually played the drums using a lesser Roland V-Drums kit.  I played the straight beat and then overdubbed the fills.  Usually, I use midi drum patterns and edit the notes like everyone but it was an easy beat to cop.  I did the same with my cover of "Rain" too.

Great three tracks.  Real punchy production, nice work.  Do you do any Nesmith stuff?

JDF, Thank you.  Yes, along time ago when I first started using a Sonar and in order to learn how to use it I recorded a Mike Nesmith tune "You Told Me."  I would like to do "You May Just Be The One" too someday.

Here is a Monkees cover I did.  I hope it brings back good memories for 2 minutes 29 seconds.  😀

Really cool!  Very convincing. 

Sounds really great.  Yes, Sound Cloud will crush any music.  Doesn't matter how great the quality is when you upload it will get compressed to 128bit.

I noticed that my older version 9 Waves plugs load only as VST2.  This is not a big issue.  They were at one point VST3 in Cakewalk.  They are working as VST3 is Studio One.   All other versions, 10, 11, and 12 load as VST3 in Cakewalk.    I tried re-scanning frontward and backwards.   Anyone else notice this with ver 9?  Thanks.

Best Beatles Band alive today. The Fab Faux. No Beatles "dressup", just pure recreations of the greatest music of the 20th Century. I've seen them everytime they've been to California since 2008 (10 times now). The only disappointing set was when they did the 1964 (5?) Hollywood Bowl set list. Thank the almighty  for the second set of the night.

The coolest was when they did The White Album. They actually had Revolution #9 all charted out. Lots of samples but none the less, it was Revolution # 9.

 

 

Fab Faux is great.  Will Lee is great.  I hope he is still in the band.

We currently  have Color Follow Bus.  However, I like having my Bus grouped with the tracks I am summing rather than having the Bus on the far right of the mixing console.    The use of Aux tracks solves this but it would be nice if there was a Color Follow Aux Track option.  Thanks.

If you can produce that sound live, there's a steady post Covid market for it. Good Beatles tribute bands were charging £1000 / night over ten years ago here in the south west of England. I appreciate I'm only 62 years old but  I could easily put sufficient makeup on to look as old as Paul or Ringo

Haha.  I was in a Beatles Band when I was younger.  We did a lot of covers but one set was all Beatles with suits and ties.  The Hofner bass was always in need of intonation.  One night the neck pickup fell into the body.  That bass was a struggle.  I prefer bands that only play the music and do not get dressed up.  So when we put the band together you will not need makeup 😁  My favorite Beatles tribute band is http://www.theanalogues.net/  They take it to the next level.

Here is a pic of me back in the day...  Right handed.  I still have the P-Bass.  It was my first bass.  Purchased new in 1978 or 79.  Notice the Acoustic 220 Bass Head.  I used it for 10 years with the matching 2 x 15 Cab.  I had to sell it because I bought a smaller car.

Thank you Michael and Mahavishnu!    I thought I was the world's biggest Beatles fan.  😁  I'm filled with useless Beatles knowledge and currently reading "Tune In" with 1200 pages of more knowledge.

Thanks Steve!

I've run the re-scan thing literally at least 50 times since that.

Constatnly get the waves error it can't locate this or that, despite includeing the proper path (which is also in that screen shot area.  

It should work, but it doesn't.    

Bummer!  Yes, I refuse to buy their update renewal too.  Every once in awhile I get an email asking me to complete a package by buying the last plugin for $29 or low price.  When I did that for Abbey Road they automatically updated all the old plugins in that set.   Other than that it is no deal for me.

Cakewalk for course.

 

It isn't a DAW issue, it is a waves issue.  

Others reported the problem when v10 came out.  SInce waves won't provide tech support without WUP, some chose to pay it, others didn't and either had the problme or they didn't.    The steps to fix didn't work for myself (and some others) and I refuse to WUP for the same or more than I paid for the pugins.  So I just use the v10 plugins and let the v9s die.

 

That's weird.  They should work after following the link I posted.  My waves are in C:\Program Files\VstPlugIns.    The only suggestion I have is run the plugin manager "Re-scan existing plug-ins."  It takes longer but is more precise.   I'm using V9's in a Cakewalk project right now.

Consider yourself lucky perhpas.

All my v9s went bye-bye when v10 came out.  V10 would work, but v9s wouldn't.

Sounds like you at least got a couple extra years out of them.  

 

 

Brian,

What DAW are you using?  All of my V9's work in both Cakewalk and Studio One 4.5. 

Waves now makes you jump though hoops to keep all of your V9 plugins.  I download the new studio rack not knowing it would knockout my older V9 plugins.
