Thanks Bjorn, appreciate the listen and sound (pun intended) comments. I left it a bit long because I like the grooves but I did consider an edit or two and a fade out outro.

Thanks Chaps. I'll have a look at them.

Thanks for the listen. I agree with you. I actually had to remove a lot of the SI Drums (which is normal but this particular loop had a lot of bells and whistles) and pare them down to what's in the song.

Thanks! 👍

Thanks so much Timbo. I did mix most of the bass parts about a decibel or so high as their timing is crucial to the interplay with the acoustic guitar and other instruments. The riff the ag plays doesn't stay off beat. It kind of moves around the beats, I think.

That's what I thought too. But if you listen to the timing of both for the full 8 bars they sound metronomically correct. Also, the acoustic guitar part is hitting an offbeat note. Appreciate the listen 🎶 🎵 🎶

EDIT: I found a YouTube TV Tutorial by Mike Enjo/Creative Sauce from last year on the last version of ZL Equalizer. See link a few lines below. Also, I dl'ed the new one and will check it out. Here's the link:

Yes, that is exactly what I was looking for. The Core Delay has the exact same presets. Thanks!

Anyone tried the free ZL Equalizer 2 VST? This is an open source product that says is a nice, cheaper alternative to Fab Filter Pro-Q. Any opinions?

Hi all. Here's Autumn Shades. Info: All guitars are tuned to FACGCE.

The music: Great Halloween vibe throughout. Interesting use of rhythms and instruments. A little Danny Elfman vibe there, perhaps? The AI: It's here to stay. It needs to be labeled "AI" in music, video, book, social media, etcetera because if it isn't it's going to create a lot more problems that it will ever solve. Like AI my opinions will evolve over time. Cheers! 🎶 🎵 🎶

Nice. Really appreciate the calmness and thought that went in to the writing 🎶 🎵 🎶

Epic work extremely well done 🎶 🎵 🎶

Great mix. Interesting musical journey 🎶 🎵 🎶

Nice harmonies. Good stuff 🎶🎵🎶

I searched but couldn't find an answer. Are the Sonitus VST plug ins included in Cakewalk Sonar premium? I love the Sonitus Delay presets and really miss them. TIA for any help.

Thank You so much for this information.

Same here. Can't get Band Lab to reactivate my Cakewalk Sonar paid subscription. EDIT: Update, Bandlab reactivated Cakewalk Sonar, back up and running.

Thanks Nigel, appreciate the listen and kind words. Yes, the "distant"guitar noticeably alters the mood. Cheers! 🎶 🎵

Great production. Perhaps a touch of Art Zoyd in there? 🎶 🎵

Outstanding. Vocals, production, arrangement, instruments (a sax would be nice in there somewhere), mix, all outstanding. I mean, it's your production so if you want to add or subtract that's your call, but this has a powerful live performance feel, simple yet powerful. This is what should be on the radio. Enjoyed very much 🎶 🎵

Hi All. Here's Intrinsic, another short instrumental. Observations welcomed 🎶 🎵 link: https://larryterrano.bandcamp.com/track/intrinsic DAW: Cakewalk Sonar paid version pc: windows 11, Ultra 9 285 @ 2.50 GHz, 64GB Dual Channel DDR5 ram, DI Bass, DI electric guitars, Session Drummer 3 drums, Arturia minilab mkII, Arturia analog lab 5 lite reference speakers: M-Audio BX3

Very together sounding tune Mark. Agree with above. I'd like to hear some pedal steel in there somewhere 🎶 🎵

Agree with all the above. Nice, quiet strength to the music 🎶 🎵

Nice, steady flow, yet melodies continually evolve keeping it all interesting. I don't think this is unimaginative at all 🎶 🎵
