So was I .. but as I have EZY drums2 .. and that still isn't on sale .. I guess I had to bite the bullet ... still not sure if it's worth the cost but it does help with songwriting 🎸 thanks for the comment ATB Steve

Just trying out EZY Keys, really good toy so thanks Lynn 😉

Great lyrics! Really love the vibe, suits this song a treat ! ATB Steve

HM-mm .... I dunno Wooks, your stuff gets me into trouble with the misses, in that I find myself humming to a song I've never heard ... but I have ... It's these compositions you write !! Much love Steve

Well said sir ...

Just seen your idea to set up a solo ! Yikes!! I agree with John Vere .. You should be very careful when using an Aux out to anything that can't handle a high output signal ( Like an Aux out ) ..Even though John suggests setting your input very low, so as not to overload the preamp, ( excellent advice ) you might still get distortion from this signal. The Solo is made to use with it's USB to PC and then to your desired DAW, meaning your inputs from the SOLO go to your PC and then back to the SOLO, which should be heard from either cans or speakers, ( Monitors). Read jesse g's suggestion if your amp sound is really the sound you want .. My strong advice is to look at the Focusrite W/S and study how your £140.00 device works as it comes with plugs like Marshall sounds etc ... before you damage it ... plus it should help with other setups you might want to make in the future ... KNOW YOUR GEAR ...🎧 Chaps has a good idea .. 😉

I have never wanted to air a message so personal so I won't .. I have always felt music comes from the heart ... My guess is we kinda know each other, over these years ... maybe too well., but with ever-out meeting ... My message ... I hear you 🧷 Stay well Steve

Sorry to know about that t ... at 73 and with my history I don't hear so well either... As my right lug is well low, my studio is pumped on the right to give me the same balance ... If I popped my clogs I don't think anyone would get it .. but at that point I wouldn't care LOL All the Best Steve 😉

Can't wait .. ( Do I get dibs on the order TeeHee ) ATB Steve

WhOo no dig mate, but godda say it's not what you see .. more what you hear ... I see from the graph the 1 and2k are in scope, strange 'cause I still feel the vox is a little toppy on the 'S' & 'Ts' Just my cans I spose Love ya man 🤪 Steve

You are one talented bloke .. got to say excellent work!! Steve

Great sound here Gary great mix too. Only one crit there seems to be a tad too much high end on the vox .. but. ATB Steve

My mum and Dad used to listen to this stuff back when I was a kid ( I'm 73 now ) ... Took me back to those simpler days, what a great post ..thanks 😌 ATB Steve

Well produced, I didn't think the vibe was a sad one, plus I agree with Bats that it has a strong Floyd feel... Nice work mate 👍 Steve

Excellent mix, skill and video ... really enjoyed this one .. thanks for the post ... ( and now I have Les Paul envy ) SRM

Well done M8 ..and good to have you back and well again 🤝 ( Cool look in the bins ) ATB Steve

a BIG thankyou to everyone for listening .. I intend to get a proper mix and new songs later in the year .. but it's really great to have you lot listen and comment 👍

Excellent writing Paul. 👍

Sorry for your loss

What works ... Just works, as you infer ... ( Your secret is safe with me ... can't speak for the others though LOL )

Hello Paul, What a great question! My approach to songwriting is to try and get my idea down, often before playing anything, in the hope I get the song completed and not left halfway through because I ran out of steam ... not always mind, but for me it works well when I have a half baked idea an need to think what I want my message to portray when it's completed. There have been times when I've been a chorus (words only) and was asked to write the song around it, then this approach works a treat ! Next is to find a way for the lyrics to play out with my ability to play the instrument, often, and certainly of late, using plugs ( NI,EZydrum, keys etc ) to get a bare bones song. At this stage I often read the lyric differently than I first thought and change words to match the rhythm. Then comes the mixing and mastering ... Yes it's a bit like reading a book before watching a movie, but you have to bare in mind, all the content of a song is in you head when listening ( unless a video runs along with the work ) ... so there is never disappointment and other peoples approach to writing their song is interesting .. you learn and hopefully get better from the experience . Just for the record I did like this one 😁 ATB Steve

Not sure ( without swooping in ) what you want. If you are a subscriber to Cakewalk DISCUSS you can PM your said helper .... ?

I think the problem here is not understanding computer interfaces with inboard ( in-the -box / outboard instruments) regarding how your said, desktop / laptop .. MAC / PC / deals with it all. Your problem seem to be a quick fix ... IF THAT'S POSSIBLE .....Understanding of drivers with software ,... sound interfaces and Midi controllers ETC , ...most of the guys on this website are extremely versatile with the problems you seem to have .. ... ..BUT, you need to a basic understanding of your goals and said difficulties of where you would like to go with your music ... in a word experience There's no 'easy fix' ... so check out YT for at least some understanding of where you wana go.
