 I don't think they would let me "comp" everything live and on tour.

OK, maybe I'll load up the bus and come see you

Where do you live, just in case?

(I am a peaceful sort)

I refuse to make any music that I'm unable to play with my own hands

traditionalism is the foundation of experimentalism

folks like you awe me

myself, I can only fake it

but what I do comes from the soul through whatever appendage, organ, or feeling I have

what you have told me, makes all your music so much more meaningful

when you have time

do another

keeping it real

now eye no

OK, I am perplexed, but I guess reality is real. 

I tried a focusrite 2i2 in place of the VS 100, and had the same reaction.  All I can think is that my ears/rooms are messing with me.

For the last month or so I have been tracking in a room that is 32 feet in diameter, yes, it is a dome, with 16 feet ceiling with a walk out basement below that is a permanent wood foundation .  I use a db meter to be consistent on my listening levels to save my ears.  I rarely listen above 80 db, and that seemed loud enough.

The room I am in now is in a block wall basement 21' x 11' x 7.5', I have quite a bite of rock wool treatment and have my listening position set up where it should be according to best practices.  Eighty decibels is BLASTING me out.

Crazy what room size will do.

Anyway, what a great learning experience.

Hello, I know some CH members have mentioned having them.

Had to take my focusrite 6i6 to another location.

no worries because I have the vs 100

Windows 8.1, most recent driver.

My issue is the VOLUME is BLASTING LOUD

I have to turn the playback knob all the way down to near 0, and it is still at 80+ decibels

I have never had this problem before.  I tried it on my laptop with Win 10, and the same issue.

Has anyone any suggestions.

Thanks

I really don't want to recycle it, but this is practical.

Thanks for any help

speaking of Cobham

yes, found out about him when researching Tommy Bolin, (saw a clip where Billy says that Bolin was his inspiration the Spectrum album, which I used to have but gave it away to a drummer friend who loved Billy's drumming.  And yes, your song still kicks ***** and is one of the best around.

I do believe that you

are a volcano

volcano's spew terra firma 

without volcano's we would sink

this is great

it's not your fault

I think I'm in love

that's all I have to say

but obviously there is a suitor before me

I am forlorn

just another hobo

tramping the tracks looking for love

this is great!

had to listen again

AAAOOOWWWWWWWW

honky tonkin

Basically, I've got a bunch of tracks and I've been incredibly guilty of sitting on them and not completing them or putting them out there, so I'm finishing things rather than agonising over every last detail.  I get a great deal of satisfaction from the writing and playing,

for me, this is the truth

express yourself

nothing more needs to be said

it's all here in my head

listening to the sweet sound of jizzy pifkle

did you give her a sign?

I am guessing she didn't need that

a moment behind?

a picture this is

is it just me?

so down home

Bjorn, believe me, right now  I am at the barn dance with Sally, and she's not glancing over at Tad

she is looking me straight in the eyes. and I can smell the sweet airs of her natural perfume.

I am in love!

this is wavy!

I want to know what guitars you used on this

I love surf music. it is so punk

share some details

this piece transports me

so ethereal

I am losing my grip

but I am not afraid

so soon together it will all fold

questioning the choices of mine

in a dream

coming home

my destiny

coming home

forever free

take a look at me

never say never

we will all make our way home, only to leave again

that was really cool

well now, is that you?  you have a great smile

very nice pedal steel?

look to the sun

he will take the clouds away

and he is never late

cool

you don't need anybody to lead you

you need to gather

well now

pass go

collect $200

life is not fair

Your shriveled confidence is equal to the coldness of the valley

listening to this again

so great

@1:45

love it

a very sexy song

cool

love ain't easy

timing and all

Thanks

It is a great time to be alive!

sipping on your your fever tree?
