    This is really pretty great.  What is it, 5/4 then 3/4 ?   Is there such a thing as 6/4?  🙂  Great mix as well.

    Thanks.  Yes, it's in 5/4 and 3/4.  And yes, my brother (the drummer) hints at a 6/4 in a section or two.

     

  2. Thanks for the positive feedback.  I'm still planning to tweak the drums a bit this weekend.  Thanks for listening.

  3. I'm glad to see you're still around posting tunes.  As always, I like it.  Just listened to a few more of your recent posts.  I really like Junk Mail.

  4. I'm getting an error message for any project that has Auto-Tune.  The project won't open and Cakewalk shuts down.  I saw I there was an update for cakewalk and I updated, but no luck.  I can open any project that doesn't have Auto Tune saved as a plug in, but as soon as I try to insert it as a plug in I get the same error message and cakewalk shuts down.  Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!!!

  5. Still getting dropouts.  Today...I was about to playback a solo I finally nailed I got a blue screen.  After two hours the screen was still there so I had to do a hard shut down.  Is it possible it's not cakewalk or my settings?

    EDIT = I just want to mention this is not the first time I've had this happen while using cakewalk.

    Thanks for your replies.

  6. Yes, this is a Dell.  I used the task manager to disable support assistant.  Also, I disabled the HDMI to my monitor.  I'm trying 128 as a buffer setting.  So far I've had dropout with error (1) and another with error (5).  I just don't know enough nor do I trust myself to fool around with the bios or registry.

    Thanks, 
    Pete

     

  7. I set the changes recommended by msmcloud.  It's better, but I'm still getting dropouts...even when the system is at rest w/out playback.  Maybe it's not related, but I'm also getting the following error...

    Sample rate is 44.1

    Thanks for your help!

  8. New computer.  10th Gen i7, 32GB ram, 1TB SSD (75% free space), and 2TB HDD (80% free space).  I had the buffer at 512 for playback and was getting dropouts.  I've since changed the playback buffer to the max at 1024 and I'm still getting  occasional dropouts.   ERROR code (1).  Average song has a total of about 36 audio tracks, 6 buses, 60 or so sonitus effects and one instance each of Izotope Ozone, LP64, and Boost 11.  Cakewalk by Bandlab 64 bit.  I also have 8.5PE installed, but don't use it.

    I'm not super computer savvy.  I'm keeping the song files on the hdd...should I move them to the ssd?  Does my interface have anything to do with it?  It's a 3rd gen focusrite 18i20.  Is my computer not enough?  Maybe an i9?

    Any ideas?

    That's a cool instrumental of a great song - I liked the guitar tones in this.  Nice job.

    Wow - as the song goes along, especially when the drums kick in, there's some excellent guitar playing - very nice.

    Thank you very much.  I was going for a cross between a newer Vinnie Moore phrasing mixed with a Brian May thing.

    Very skillful playing for sure and you've made this song your own in many ways.  My only nit is the kick drum at the second time through.  It's a bit heavy and distracting, but everything improves and comes together when it start to move at the bridge.

    There are several song I'd like to "cover" but I fear copyright infringement issues, especially with everybody being so "sue happy" these days.  If you've got the guts to "brave it out", more power to ya.

    😀JB

    Thanks.  Yea that kick has been bothering me too.  Haven't decided what I'll do yet though.

    I heartily agree. It’s all about “touch”. Listen to Dan, as always, he’s spot on. 

    Liking under your (my) skin as well. I closed that window before posting.

    Thanks man.  Under Your Skin also needs more bass. LOL

    Nice chops!

    Three suggestions:

    1.  The opening strumming would be better, IMO, as an picked arpeggiated pattern
    2. The first guitar solo sounds just a tad fizzy. You might want to EQ that a little.
    3. The mix needs more bottom!!

    These are just my suggestions. Love the track overall!

    Thanks for listening.  I decided against arpeggios at the beginning because it reminded me too much of "What a Wonderful World."  I agree it needs more bass (I'm going to actually play the bass instead of keeping the midi bass).  I'm also going to mix in different drum tones with the current ones.  And yes, I'm always screwing around with lead EQs. LOL

     

  13. I took a break from my current project to record something I've wanted to for a while. I don't think I've ever posted a cover song before, but here's one...

  14. So, in the past three days I was able to get "Drum Replacer" to show up once in "Region FX."  I exited that project and went right into another to see if I could duplicate the results, but had no luck.  I went back into the project where I was successful and I couldn't repeat the results. 

    When I'm successful my Region FX options are...Vocal Sync, Melodyne, V-Vocal, and Drum Replacer.

    When I'm not successful, my Region FX options are...Vocal Sync, Autotune, Boost 11, LP64_Multiband, Channel Tools, LP64_EQ, and Izotope Ozone.

    Does anyone know why the menus are completely different?  Has this happened to anyone else?  Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

    Thanks!
