Hey Lynn . . . really liked listening to this one ! . . . and found that main chromatic guitar riff very unique (haven't heard something like that before) . . . also, really excellent catchy chorus vocals, and super clarity in the mix and panning *** . . . so much there really, powerful song overall.

Great video John ! If only Cakewalk could produce some helpful migration videos like yours ! But, alas, why would they, when they've got you to do it for them free of charge. I'm old enough to remember the days of Brandon and Seth doing the video introductions . . . hopefully, when they officially release it, there will be something video ? Just putting in a good word for you, because I really appreciate what you do on this forum sir !!

Like other DAWs, and previous Cakewalks (Sonar, Platinum iterations) . . . why not make them "sell" you on the new features. So, you buy it originally (maybe they will discount slightly for Platinum lifetime users, LOL) . . . then, the new versions they offer have new features and add-ons . . . you decide if you want the new tantalizing features, or not . . . if you get behind in your upgrades, it will cost more to catch up. If you wait too long, your OS and audio interface will become obsolete anyways. This way, they have to continuously improve the product in meaningful ways to remain DAW relevant, and competitive in the marketplace, everyone's a winner. . . . then I awoke from my dream to realize the subscription model makes the most sense from a business point of view, predictable revenues, dedicated customers. Only problem is "subscription" is just a jaded word in software sales . . . so, just present it as an old school "partnership" with the existing clients, since many are long time partners already. For the newcomers . . . just build it, and they will come.

We got a gig out of town at a country bar, but we only knew one country song, had to play it four times . . . afterwards we were loading up the van and a girl came up to me and excitingly said "how long have you been playing guitar" . . . I was the bass player. We finished the evening off by playing an original song . . . and that same girl said, "and what was that weird song at the end ?"

Jono . . . started out as problem with broadcast waves, then it turned into a problem with doing videos and notation, maybe it's the wrong DAW for your needs, or maybe you're expecting it do do more than it does. It's unfortunate that Cakewalk still even has video "capabilities", and staff view is a long way from notation software. If we focus on the broadcast waves issue in Export dialog . . . have you used the Export Preset "Clips - Broadcast Wave" ? . . . or, have you tried to save a preset specific for what you're needing to do ?

Hi Mark . . . Great energetic piece ! . . . liking this one a lot . . . you move between acoustic and electric guitar so smoothly here. You mentioned "Been playing with some vox", so, what about a theme of Country vs. City ? (acoustic is the country, electric is the city) Also, super harmonica playing, really enjoyed that. (sounds like you and FedEx totally delivered) Bruce

Nicely done, the feel is all there, some interesting interplay between the guitar and piano . . . yes, some vocals would really top this off . . . I hope you will develop the idea further into a full song with vocals, it really calls out for that !

Brilliantly done Barry ! Mix sounding great now . . . really enjoyed the Bridge part where you insert some nature against the traffic mayhem, the video really accents that . . . nice touch, sounds excellent, well written tune.

@John Vere . . . thanks so much John for listening and your comment. Yes, Mark heard my demo and thought this would work well as a Bluegrass song, and he was so right, and has the guitar chops to do it . . . glad you liked it, and I'll check out Blue Dogs. I was famous 30 years ago . . . I had an album that went plywood in my neighbourhood. (snare, kick, crash !!)

@subvibe, @jack c., @Old Joad, @Lynn Wilson . . . thanks so much for your responses, and glad you could have a listen . . . I'm trying to do a video of this one, which would be a first for me, got a story line together, so will try to post that in the near future.

Well conceived jack, good message in the lyric, lots on interesting parts and rhythms to it ...

Barry . . . it starts with that AM radio broadcast, then the vocals come in accentuating those very same AM radio frequencies., probably too much 1-5K. @garybrun suggestion will help this a lot. Interesting that the lyrics are all so clear to understand, but not pleasing to the ear in that middle range, it's a delicate balance. It is a bit different for you, more synth driven, than guitar driven . . . good song idea, and really liked the lyrics . . . fix that vocal mix, and you've got another winner !

Hi Wookiee . . . super symphony of synthesizers ! Lots of upbeat movement, with that air of danger lurking in the back, the familiar feeling we all know. From there to there, and here to here, and there to here, and here to there, and everything in between. Curious, are all the toys you list "in the box", or do you have a collection of old analog hardware synths in your studio ? (lurking in the back)

Hey all you Cakewalkers . . . here's another collaboration I've done with Mark Alan Skinner. I had this strumming acoustic guitar piece in my studio for a while , and just couldn't take it much further. Was trying to record a sampled mandolin part, which wasn't working right . . . so I sent a mix to Mark, who can actually play a mandolin ! Well, a few weeks go by and Mark recorded an acoustic guitar, a mandolin, and an upright bass . . . yeah, that's me singing and strum whacking acoustic guitar in the background. What can I say, the piece was transformed. Let us know what you think, and how the mix translates . . .
