Thanx Freddie, song's i like nobody likes, songs a bang together people like, always the way lol

You have got recording your vocals and FX for vocals down to perfection P

I think i sorted the 6sec thing out, was a short song for me, sample and drum experiment. I actually didn't like the break but didn't want to waste anymore time on the song haha

Yes i have had that bizarre jumping at times. I think its also cache setting on our phone or PC at times. I tested on phone and seems aright now, maybe a gremlin in the system. Glad you liked it, was challenging doing the scream metal voice, couldn't sing for two days after that lol I am happy with my mix, drums and master is bit better on this one. Payed with a few free compressors and saturation ive been testing. Some great free plugins out there. Everyone calls me P lol Who is P is a long story for another day....

I always leave my video open for interpretation, glad you like the music P

Few little guitar riffs i sampled and got creative with the drums

When people say double track, it can be a lazy gimmick at times. If you double track you can pan on left and one right to create width. Or parallel comparison is sort of a double track with glue in the back ground brining out second track with colour and harmonics, nice with saturation or tube/tale emulator. Double track is also good to sit one track more in background with a different EQ to make it shine and the forward track more warm so not in your face, send these to buss then that bus glues them if you add some compression saturation or whatever you feels works, you can't replace a good ear lol

Lovely track, there's some easy tweaks here and there with the mix (master is good enough) Drum needs some compression to let those harmonics ring on and maybe a kit change (preference but black velvet heavy kit) maybe some little pause and gaps on the drums to break them up from such a standard beat in places (to drum machine sounding but the rolls are good) You could maybe add the odd percussion sound in areas to help the change in drums, they stay very steady when your vocal gets more emotional and drums needs to go with voice, needs to add the odd cymbal or something. Some space needs creating in areas for vocal, i even think some parallel compression on your vocals could help. i would maybe create space with EQ but i try not to do to much with EQ if i like a sound so will i always use pan as everything sounds down the centre in your track (drum and bass yes centre , but keys and rhythm guitar you could place with pan and maybe create more width with far pans, you could even bring the vocal out with width and centre to glue track more. Maybe a smidge of reverb or delay to fit in between, however i will always use automation "automation is your friend" like compression on a master . I am not being critical i love the track (demo) so more post production will help you learn. Compression can be a ***** to learn due to the different types which can make a track pump or sustain or add colour and life like saturation another friend. Again a nice track, really well written P

its because I'm writing something and can't sing it the way i want to. If i change the melody, then it just sounds crap and its not something you can auto tune really because i just cant sing it

Cheers paul, im struggling on my current song, need a female singer in parts, my voice just isn't working lol

When you add i instrument (midi) i.e Addictive Drums 2, it will be default mapped and normally C3 on your keyboard is the kick or C3 in piano view, if that makes sense to you. You can isolate in Addictive Drums 2 plugin in the kit view. Mute everything less what you want i.e KICK or edit by clicking E which will take you to edit to tweak your kick. HOWEVER its better to isolate using tracks for many reasons like a sidechain. If you have written a midi score with all the kit being used and you want to isolate the kick, the snare, toms and symbols add 4 Addictive Drums 2 tracks and copy paste your score into all the tracks you added. Rename one Addictive Drums 2 track to Kick delete everything out of the midi score less the kick and do same for the rest. This means you isolated each instrument so you can EQ each track to suit or side chain your kick instead of the whole drum kit. I think this is something you maybe trying to do. Probably good to sign up to creative Sause new Cakewalk free program

thank you

Yes that's sort of what i describe. Click on "view" in drop down then select piano view to write midi or right click track and select view and in drop down then select piano view piano view... write all midi in there. Don't forget only about one octave on keyboard is drums mapped from maybe C3 to C5 on keyboard or in midi view. Once you write your drums (drum edit track) then you split them up into 3 tracks to eq. You see all the views on image attached

Cheers, stuck and my latest song, needs a female singer

Its hard to understand what you saying. Sounds like you want a kick track, snare with toms track and tops (cymbals) track is the reality to EQ. Create 3 tracks call one kick, one snare (or mids and one tops. Duplicate the complete midi score or loop you have to the 3 tracks or copy and paste on 3 tracks. Delete everything less kick for kick track, delete everything less snare and so on. To edit the midi view piano roll. For midi select all inputs or your midi controller but if you write midi in the DAW (piano view or step seq) it doesn't matter about input as sounds like your instrument is addictive drums 2 and output is set as master which is sound card or audio device unless you route through a drum room bus. I will work with my media panel and plugin panel open on the right of my work space which you can collapse when working on track. I will create a folder in the media folder view Audio library and midi library for each project. I added a screen grab, on the right you will see media view and i can drag drop either way, into project or out of project to keep master edits or changes or ideas and basic things i always need etc. Hope one thing helps you

I only use TH3 and the boos multi FX peddle i have in studio haha You can add some FX to the track over TH3 and pretty much get any sound you want or close, however there's never a substitute for a cry baby

You got a link so i can repay the favour

yes, you need 1000 subscribers at least

Is it all about the money? So if you have a digital distribution, example like DistroKid, you can distribute your music everywhere and receive some type of royalty, is the idea. However, YouTube you must have a least 1,000 subscribers and 4,000 watch hours in the past year. Once you reach that, you can apply to YouTube's Partner Program and monetize your channel. Until then, YouTube list your music under your Artist name followed by - Topic and will say something like Provided to YouTube by DistroKid. Here's the thing, YouTube pick up all the advertising royalties for all your music until you get 1000 subscribers. Given there is over 1000 subscribers on this forum, why don't we all subscribe to each other channel so we each get a royalty and not YouTube? Can we all add our channel here (i will then update a list) and all make a effort to like each others channel? We help each other with cakewalk and bugs so why not with our channels? Here's my channel follow me i follow you, let me know! https://www.youtube.com/whoisp

always best to wait a couple of years for most of the bugs to go
