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 🎶 🎵

Thanks Nigel. Appreciate the listen 🎶 🎵

Thanks Wookiee. Well, the drums are playing 120bpm but most everything else isn't. I deliberately wrote the piece that way to see how it would turn out. I like it. The drums are playing 120bpm the first 40 seconds or so. After that I edited them in PRV so they are still at 120 but with a lot of hits removed so they sound slower 🎶 🎵

Mine are from Guitar Center, M-Audio BX3. Yours are probably better.

Thanks Chaps, appreciate the listen. Were you listening on your DAW speakers? I mixed on mine with a pronounced but not dominating volume 🎶 🎵

Thanks. Appreciate the listen 🎶 🎵

Greetings. Here is Coda, a short instrumental. Observations welcomed, Cheers 🎶 🎵 link: https://larryterrano.bandcamp.com/track/coda-alt-instrumental DAW: Cakewalk Sonar paid version pc: windows 11, Ultra 9 285 @ 2.50 GHz, 64GB Dual Channel DDR5 ram, DI Bass, DI electric guitars, SI drums, Arturia minilab mkII, Arturia analog lab 5 lite reference speakers: M-Audio BX3

Very, very nice. The scales have a nice Arabian feel to them. Vocals sit perfectly 🎶 🎵

Great work, as usual. I'd mix the drums a bit louder as they are the main musical engine moving the song forward 🎶 🎵

You did a great job. Amazing piece of music 🎶 🎵

Hope your hand heals well soon. Very nice tune. You might try a capo and do some overdubbing of additional easy for you to play melodies. A lot of small things can create one big great piece 🎶 🎵

Great, clear mix. All the instruments are clear and well balanced. Music is good too.

Good song, a bass would help. imho, overall I think the instruments need to be clearer as there is too much muddiness and lack of distinctness of each instrument. I think it's an EQ issue that can be corrected easily.

Great song. The clavinet sounds give a nice funkiness to the piece. Great lyrics 🎶 🎵

Yes, that was a bit twisted of me 😇 👍 🎶 🎵 Thanks Wookiee 🎶 🎵

Thanks Bjorn. Just tried to make this one small but, hopefully, mighty 👍 🎶 🎵

I've installed all the Cakewalk Product Center updates except: Cakewalk Drum Replacer Cakewalk Session Drummer Local Help Additional Pro Channel Modules Cakewalk Core Plugins What are your opinions on these? TIA.

From what I can tell by the following data the Focusrite Scarlett Solo 3rd Generation driver is changing my Windows 11 Cakewalk Sonar Paid membership MME (32 bit) Buffer setting: This is my Buffer setting that has been fine the last few days without using the Focusrite Solo: This is my Buffer setting after using the Focusrite Solo for some recordings: This is my Buffer setting after I changed back to the MME (32 bit) Windows driver and manually reset it:

Thanks Bass Guitar. I've never checked to see if my Scarlett Solo has the software mixer but I will. I'll look to see about setting the Focusrite Asio Buffer in my Scarlett Solo. I've looked in my Windows 11 audio settings but didn't find a setting to set the sample rate....what would I set it to...I'm not very well versed in this tech area 🤔

Thanks. It's sure looking like this is a Focusrite issue.

Hi Wookiee. It may be an Arturia issue that manifests when the Focusrite Asio driver is selected? It seems the only time the Buffer setting gets changed is when I use the Focusrite Asio driver. I'll check the Buffer setting every time I open Cakewalk Sonar Paid membership and post results. Thanks

Sorry for the confusion. My bad. Lots of things I'm having to deal with lately. I'm running: Cakewalk Sonar Paid membership Version: 2025.08 (Build 035, 64 bit) Update: I downloaded the new Focusrite Scarlett Solo driver. Seems stable. No Cakewalk Sonar crashes at all. Still having issue with Buffer setting not remaining where I set it. Will run for a few days and post status. Thanks for all the help and patience 👍

Thanks David. I will do that 👍
