Hi bro, awesome little tune, you couldn't be more right about Max Martin, that guy went on to write some huge hits for Katy Perry, Taylor Swift, Bon Jovi.

just to name a few,

BTW I wouldn't worry to much about being sued.

Thank you.

Be careful of getting GAS   (Gear Acquisition Syndrome) while undertaking this recording venture, It can become a real stinker!!  😫

You forum guys have got me stuck on this one...😁

 

It is like Heroin addiction, you need a daily fix if your not carefool. And you do not write better song with better gear, the reason a mix is bad, is not because of bad gear ether. Because the best songs were not made with computer at all, and the best recording engeneers can make it sound good on any equipment.

But latency is the issue to consider. And ASIO and USB soundcard  is the only way to fix that on a laptop! So much easier to sing on while recording with just a little reverb on the vocals monitors and so on.

I'd like to try it out.   Thus far, I haven't seen a link to download a trial version.

It's similar to the Adobe Creative Cloud (Premier Pro, After Effects, and Photoshop).

I'm productive with Adobe... but After Effects can get sluggish (especially with larger projects).

I am Vegas user myself and I love the workflow. But my version, previos version, Vegas Pro 16 cannot  use some Nvidia  cards ar rendering engine. I dont know why. But I have to use my CPU. Its ok for me because I dont use it for tonns for effects, and my videos are mostly music related. But It is irritating. 

Another thing is that they have fixed it now, it seems (not compleetly sure) and then its dumb to switch to Adobe just for that. Start over with learning the all the features again. So I would stick to what I had. But I havent seen Vegas  Post in action yet tho.

And would sertanly not go for the 365. Fist year it is ok priced. Not good, but you can live with it.  But  € 36,99/month after first year is just ridiculess when you also has to pay for much pluggins and other stuff...

I am a MiddleAge Man.  I have swords and everything.

Available now on special offer: get your first 12 months for only € 22,19/month instead of € 36,99/month.

Starting the 13th month, pay only € 36,99/month.

Isnt that a little steeph. I guess you get more in the Vegas Post pack than the Vegas Pro. But do they think we are rich or something?

 I really hear Dream Theaters - Falling into Infinity album. But that is just that it could fit into it. Its is not like a copy of any of that songs. But this is prog rock at top shelf. So much space in the music. You don't fil upp every second and that makes it not stressing but relaxing to listen to. And I couldn't hear anytnig wrong with the master, but I must say, I have hearing loss (too much Hi-Gain guitars). 

A comment to the hot signal. Youtube do adjust and turn down levels, Spotify do the same. Every platform adjust the levels to fit their standard. So the Loudness War is ded in but nobody knows yet.

Thank you guys.

It's not a "metal" song, but  I tried to be true to the song that puped up when trying to sleep. Do anyone of you get that?

Max marting got "Hit me, baby, one omre thime" that way. He recorded it on a small tape recorder. And noone wantet it before he showed it the the pre production of Britheys first album.Funny right? But for me it is important to always record or at least take notes on songs I get at night.

Song i wrote night til monday and recorded til now.

Yeah. I can be sued because the melody is like every other child song. But  I don’t intend to release it any ways.

Where is Supang? The Philippines is my second home, and I've traveled all over those islands, but haven't heard of Supang.

Whether in the north or the south, November-April will let you sample every weather variation that country offers. Well, there are only two: wet and dry. Both hot. But in November you might get lucky and experience a typhoon.

Supang is a little village in Catanduanes. Don't feel bad about not knowing it.

There is thunder and rain every day I see in MSN weather now. 

But my baby works in Hong Kong as a domestic helper. So she has to fulfill the contract before we can can meet up in Manila. 

Daughter lives with grandparents in Supang.

No. She's a friend. I haven't recorded anything with my baby yet because she's not here yet. 

Here she is and under is her 4 years old I will adopt. 

Good people of the Cakewalk universe. 

I am planing on moving to a new location fot the studio. Because then I can have better space and can play louder. And when soon to be wify moves inn, she will make me record her all the time if I don't resettle elswere. 

I am making plans oly for now.

Super cool, when can we move in😀

I will rent it out November to April... I am to go to Supang in Philippines... 

Almost like the Ikea catalog...

I have finally gotten to post the long avaited post about my studio in the new apartment.

Who was looking for this again? There were someone  I guess… was it me?

Anyways. Here it is...

I had to buy a new screen to fit into this Ikea thing. Because the feets on my old screen was not adjustable in hight. That was a little bummer. I am also not done with cable management yet.

I am so sorry  Ken. Heart breaking...

If you need anything  and I can help just ask.

I agree with the others that it sounds as if the client has used a demo version of an audio conversion program to supply different formats for distribution.

I gently suggest that this is an issue of client management.

Ask them what formats they require for distribution so that you may deliver them in those final formats. Instruct them not to do any conversion themselves, that you will be happy to supply any further formats if required. This will prevent any future such problems.

If this is not practical for whatever reasons, I recommend that you supply your files in FLAC format and that the client use MediaHuman Audio Converter to do their conversions. MediaHuman is 100% freeware and does not impose any watermarking. It is easy to use, available on Windows and Mac OSX and handles conversions to and from all popular formats.

I hope this helps!

This is the way. So Sound Forge is safe that way... Just have to make all the format of out for the one wave file.

Sorry John,  I should probably read the whole thread before posting!  😖

Maybe my second suggestion (Look for ANY program that isn't recognizable) will point to a clue.

Thats ok. Better to get to much help than  to little...

Is the audio watermark showing up in the files before you uploaded them to this service?  Or are the files you uploaded clean?  In which case someone or some process on the other side ran your audio through one of the AVS4you audio editors and saved the file out, adding the watermark.

If the audio files you are generating have the watermark in them, then work backwards to figure out which step in the process added the audio watermark.  In theory it would be possible for bad software to install replacement codecs that could cause every audio file you output to have a water mark.  Though that seems a little extreme.

Yeah...

The thing is that it might be other sources than DAW and Audio apps. I sent sendt my client the songs through Telegram too.  Dont know what apps she as used on the files before uploading.  I think also it was an MP3 file.

Do you guys know of a way of checking if there is any watermark before sending to Spotify?

So you have not explicitly used any AVS program or plugin in creating the song? I would look on your computer and see if an AVS program is installed. I have Sound Forge  Pro 12 and can't think how AVS is involved. 

Also  you don't need SF to trim the length of the song. Cakewalk can do that with slip editing. 

I dont have any AVS as i know of.

I dont know if any of my program  using its tech for converter tho.

But it is late now in Norway.  Have to  fallow up tomorrow.

How are you creating your song? Please  give all the steps used and any programs used outside of Cakewalk.

Magix Sound Forge Audio Studio 12.6 for editing ends and making the right format.

Also it seems AVS has a audio converter program that could create that watermark. 

Like in SoundForge?
