Dreamy and relaxing. Yes, it is amazing what's out there for the taking. I'll check out your link. Thanks! 🙂John B

Excellent song and video. Your standard of quality is always very high. 😀John B

Welcome to the forum. I enjoy the song very much. I would try to balance the mix to highlight your vocals (maybe some automation) because they're drowned out in quite a few places. IMHO, I think the vocals/lyrics are the most important part of a song and should always be up front.. 😃John B

Beautiful! Your time to stay cool produced some pretty cool results. 😃John B

Wow! A ballad from Freddy! Proves you can do just about anything. Congrats on your special lady!😉 😃John B

Lynn, Welcome back. Was getting worried you dropped off the face of the planet! 😁 I just bought Waves Harmony too. I'm trying to figure out how to make it work with single note vocal harmony. My harmonies don't move in strict thirds or fourths, so I've been trying to find a way to make it do that. It's cool that it can follow your chords like that though. Do you use the Generate Note feature or the MIDI? This is a neat experiment. I like the different percussion loops you got going on. 😃John B

@Bajan BlueThen I'm in good company😀 🙂JB

@KSband, @Dream Art Scientists (love the name), @Bajan Blue, @Lynn Wilson as well as @DeeringAmps & @Old Joad Thank you all! 🙂John B

Hi @Old Joad And thanks!😀 "Surely there is someone who cares" So we should be able to accept changes that hopefully (could) result from learning from our past mistakes and not be so bull-headed to think we're OK as we are. If we cannot "We may regret this in the long run", meaning we may look back someday and wish we would've changed. Hope this clears this up for you. 🙂JB

Thanks Tom. Syllables for the melody. I needed 2. "We have" uses 2. "We've" only uses 1. If this is grammatically wrong I guess I'll just have to claim literary license. You have a point with the "We made so long ago". I may go back and change that.

One of my favorite quotes is from Spanish philosopher George Santayana (1863-1952). “Those who fail to learn from the mistakes of their predecessors are destined to repeat them”. This song is mostly instrumental but there are two short vocal verses towards the end that reflect my interpretation of what Mr. Santayana was saying in light of modern times. 🙂John B https://www.soundclick.com/music/songInfo.cfm?songID=14482893

Amazing what two people can put together. Great. 😀John B

@ABull, @freddy j, @DeeringAmps& @evadianepug -Thank you all so much for listening and your feedback. @Old Joad-Thanks!

@Sidney Earl GoodroeThank you so much!!!😀 JB

I'm trying to make a lead sheet for my melodies. I figured out how to write lyrics into the grid, but the default always puts the bass and treble staffs together. Is there any way to make it display just a single treble staff showing ledger lines below D? Thanks 🙂John B

@Bajan Blue-Thanks so much, Nigel! 😀John B

A minor annoyance. Nothing major. But I do thank you for taking the time to address my issue. 😀John B

@KSband-Thank you so much, Bro!! 😀John B

Hi Again; My Alpha Numeric keyboard is the type that has a mouse controller built onto it. As a result, sometimes when I'm scrolling across Cakewalk I accidentally "pick up" the Control Bar and drag it someplace where I don't want it and minimize it. Is there a way I can lock this to stay in place on the top of the DAW? I know this might be an elementary question but I've been dealing with this for awhile and would finally like a solution, if there is one. Thanks 😀John B

@Tim Elmore, & @David Baay Thanks so much guys. I tried this and it worked. 😀John B

Thanks so much, @markno999The horns took me days between the arrangement and then the mix. I appreciate your mentioning it. 🙂John B

Hi; I put this question in the Q&A section yesterday. Shocked that nobody has an answer!? Hoping somebody can help me here. The Question: I don't use the Comp feature. I prefer to over write. I take notice lately that when I'm recording a vocal track, if I open the "Lanes" button I find that it has created several lanes from when I punch in/out. Should it be doing this? I always took for granted that overwriting was erasing and keeping the track on the same lane. Is it something that needs to be changed in Preferences? Thanks; 😀John B

Beautiful cover work. As I was listening I googled Ennio Morricone. He has quite a repertoire. 😀John B

Enjoyed the listen. Chorus is exceptionally catchy. 🙂John B

This is very nice, Jerry. Very impressive. We don't have enough people today making this kind of music. I'm glad you're taking it on. 😀John B
