I am hoping when I add solo instruments and a few other instruments that the guitar will be less noticeable. 👍 I will let you know when I have updated the song.

All of the instruments are "fake" other than my voice, even my voice is fake, it is not actually me singing "live" in a room, it is a recording of me. That is the nature of VST "instruments". Unfortunately, I am not as good a guitarist as the fake VST guitar arpeggiator. The cello is fake, the bass is fake, and the other instruments I will be adding are fake as well. Hopefully they will augment one another and create the illusion of realism. Maybe someday I will have Nashville instrumentalists to make my music for me. 😄

Still a work in progress, suggestions welcome. 😁 Thanks for listening! 💖💖💖 RexRed

Hey awesome Cakewalk peeps! Here is my first song I have recorded after recovering from Covid. I am better now, fully recovered and ready to make more music! Comments and critiques welcome. Love to you always and forever on! 💖💖💖 RexRed

I work in a program called Daz Studio and for many years I just used the program with stock settings. Recently I found a video that goes into the Nvidia control panel settings and give Daz Studio full access to many of the Windows system resources. There were actually about 20 or more parameters that needed to be changed to allow Daz Studio in particular to take full advantage of the graphics hardware. I am thinking that Cakewalk needs this too. Not only to give full access to the graphical interface in Cakewalk but also my RME Fireface UCX II would also benefit from going deep into the driver and maximizing priority settings for the many resources Cakewalk sound is utilizing in particular. It would be nice if someone who knows a whole lot about this would make a video or PDF/HTML page, "Optimizing Cakewalk" so we can get the most out of using Cakewalk and so Windows would give full control to Cakewalk in regards to priority and utilizing full system resources. If there is already such a resource, please link to it in the replies. Thanks.

Hello awesome Cakewalk peeps! New tune here, critiques welcome. All the best to you! RexRed 💖💖

New music awesome Cakewalk peeps! Let me know if it needs something more or something taken away! 😁 All the best to you! 💝 RexRed

Wow, thanks peeps for the awesome feedback and compliments. This song, the lyrics seem to have deeper implications that spoke to a part of me that desires to reach back into antiquity and embody romance at its greatest pinnacle. Back when civilization was just beginning and when mythology was perhaps, actually true (for the most part). Not all songs of mine do this to me. I like that it has generated some interest, it reflects the caliber of artists here on this forum, and that we may all share an ethereal philosophical connection that spans eons of time. Music inspires us. All the best to you! I hope to bring more of this kind of genre to light. ✨🌞

Wondering if this song needs more. Let me know your thoughts peeps. 😊 All the best to you! ❤️❤️❤️

I just uploaded the final version of this song. I have a flamboyant style and I add the falsetto because, well, I am gay and my songs I edit to gay romance films. My fans expect the falsetto as a signature of pride and identity. So it may seem out of place if you are expecting this to be in a "straight" romance. But, in a gay romance that falsetto fits perfectly right in and signifies the spirit of the effort. 😊 This video will premiere tomorrow morning. 👍

Encouraging and uplifting message, great song Jack. 👍

New tune awesome Cakewalk peeps! Let me know your thoughts! Lots of love, best to you! 💗 RexRed

Thank you Jack for the Merry Christmas and lovely compliment on my song! Best to you in the New Year! 🎄👍💗 This song was very difficult to make. At one point I had nearly 50 tracks all going at the same time and I had to figure out which tracks play at what time. It was a soup of sound with everything from the refrigerator in it. I had to slim it down and my ears got tired and I almost gave up. The Oohs and Ahhs helped me to nail down the song. I tried about 100 different pads in the song and hundreds of different congas and bongo samples till I found the right one. I tried several basses and then settled on a bass that I use in most of my songs. The vocals were sung "very" close to the mic with no windscreen so it would be "intimate". There are percussion sounds for bass and snare that took many tries to find the right samples. The wind sound is an arctic wind (the best wind sound I think). Even though the wind is from a cold place it sounds dry and warm. The cello solo is a Stradivari cello. I hope this synopsis of the song is helpful. 😉

New song Cakewalk peeps! Hope your Christmas and holidays (if you celebrate) were merry and your New Year is awesome! Comments and critiques welcome. Lots of love! Rex

Deep and thoughtful piece Jack! The stereo width is nice! Great work! 👍
