    Hi Tom yeah your right,  the drums are EZdrums and I´m going to have find out how i can transfere the project files instead of  wave files  .then i can  change the kit  and tone as you  know Tom i´m still feeling my way through  this minefield , I´m just writing a new song from scratch so i´ll be only using100% bandlab where i can hofefully do a better recording there are also timming issues ``keys´´  in this song thanks for taking the time to respond cheers

    Hi guys , heres a track from last year I had on samplitude I transfered it using  wave fills and then mixed it on bandlab adding a few bits`n `pieces , its inspired by a Ken Loach or a Mike Leigh film about a disfunctonal famliy a down to earth great film, I didnt really know that this film  had inspired me untill it the song was finished and after about  four or five months later  I realised .hey its about .....that film  If only i could remember the name of that film , its driving me nuts

  1. This really isnt my type of song , but I gave it a go anyway , and you bloody well nailed it and got me convinced that his could be ``my sort of song´´ , those backing vocals sold it to me  and the intro with the doubled acoustic guitares  just lovely  ..lots of space and really good lyrics this was one of the best yet thanks for inspiring me

    Do a “save as” and the unused tracks should be “cleaned” up. 

    t

    So this could be my problem after every recording /deleting /and playing along with  session I always do a ``save as ´´ is this not nessersary ? should i just click on  `´X´´ and not save .

  3. Hi guy s After recording a song with all the tracks within being deleted and re-recorded I went on to audio libraries only to find so many takes and retakes ,is this ok ? or is there a way of reducing or deleting the unwanted  `´takes ´´ so as to free up my PC  or is this just not worthwhile ,any easy answers would be welcome (I´n not too pc savy)

    cheers now

  4. The strings i played seperately , i wanted them in the more background

    I did use the bandlab reverb but I may have used the  ezdrums reverb as well now I come to think of it whoops

    yes I played the bass (badly ) Ive only ever written one song where I was proud of the (walking) bass line this wasnt one of my shinning moments

    thanks Tom.

    Im really overwhelmed with encouragemnt from this forum . cheers Paul

  5. Hi Wookie ,  I took my time and still managed to rush it  , i just wanted to try out all those knobs and buttons the song itself was just a vehicle really , Ive now had a listen im my car and the main vocal is too loud  . There´s nothing worse than working on a song that you heart really isnt in it,  that said Ive heard worse .... thanks for the candid and honest comments cheers paulDB

  6. Thanks David , Ive been messing around with this song for so long now (maybe three months) and the more time I invested the less I liked the song I thinks that what you call overkill , I´ll give the K-stereo a try .. Im going back to basics now and write with the guitare instead of piano ( I`m not a pianist) thanks for the tip cheers paul

  7. Thanks Tom , Im in awe of so many other musicians on the forum that get such a clean cut, and seperate mix , The really sruggle with the reverb on bandlab its just either right in yer face or in St Pauls Cathederal and the more I use it on the seperate the more it seems to get muddled/ muddy   I should take some  time an play around with it more , There were some timming issuse either with the vocal or drums I thought . I use EZ drums direct in stereo .thanks for your time cheers paul

  8. Hi Chaps, 

    Here is my first proper attempt  at a mixdown  ..Its the best I can do as i have rerally no idea on production , I just cant get that wide effect- sound , I need all the advice i can get so take off the kid gloves and give it to me between the eyes I ve got thick skin so no need to hold back thanks very much for listening cheers Paul DB

    postscript . Ive read all  the tips and Ive remixed so maybe its a bit better ,

  9. Hi guys i´m just doing the mixdown (,my first) and Ive gone and deletd my piano saved it and then the next day it was gone , is there any failsafe switch when recording a track that makes it impossible to delete. ? with samplitude there was an lock sign that one could add to the track  and could only be deleted if one unlocks said track .cheers  

  10. Great  track liked the double guitare work  takes some practice that but great when one pulls it off really lifted the track to yet  another level
