When it was free before they had a song contest to use it in. I entered and I think one other forum poster entered. I posted my entry in our song forum, didn’t win the contest which is fine but got listens in maybe top 15 or so contest entries. It was surprisingly versatile.

I did get an email in advance of the website change telling me about the upcoming change and what the new website would be etc. I have bought from new nation a few times.

Hi i have a huion kamvas pro 16 drawing tablet a few years old and win 10 and just tried to see how it worked in cakewalk. I am able to manipulate envelopes in track view with the huion pen and adjust velocities in prv for example. I don’t know how or where to draw automation to try that, if you tell me how I can try it, but generally everything i tried to manipulate in cakewalk works with the huion pen.

I use melodyne a lot and normally in smaller size clips. The only time i would do a track long use is if i want to use the adjust volume feature and bring up some low volume notes in the track. Otherwise the small clip size and render is what i do

Sounds lovely, got a slight medieval vibe as I listened, good luck with the contest !

I too get some shades of David Byrne in your singing and phrasing and attitude. Your instrumentation is always interesting and a bit unexpected. I can tell you added to the vocal to bring it more forward and it’s better but bring it out a bit more cause it still is not totally clear to hear all your words. Always interesting jack c.

Nice playing and singing, good song. I might do a little bit of deesing here and there. It doesn’t seem lacking to me, but if you want to fill it out some sustaining bass notes would be nice, or as jack c. suggested strings maybe I would try cello - would be beautiful.

Hi Old Joad, Thanks for listening and your comment, glad to know the song is loved ha. I will have to check out Laurie Anderson ! I always appreciate following up on comments about music I'm not familiar with. Thanks again !

Great guitar riff, nice rhythm, drums are pretty low in the mix. I listened in headphones to try to catch all the words, pretty clever ones that I got (driving, pills, food stains, easy chair ha) but yeah would be great to hear them all. Your singing is always so unique.

Yes smooth. The flute sounds great, nice melodies and harmonies. Very pleasant mood with some changes now and then. Very nice. Never forget when my rock loving son first heard me play a Peter Tosh song and it had bird sounds in it, he was amused.

Sounds good. Is an instrumental for this style common? I think it could be enhanced by some singing. I think the bass could be brought up (if I'm hearing a bass). It’s interesting and well played. You can embed the song to play in the forum vs having a link to youtube in your post.

Who is this? ha. clever

Yep. I hope creating this song and video was cathartic. Well done.

I think the Anderton IR files are in this AndertonCollectionSetup_1.0.0.25.exe I own platinum, not sure when or how I got this file but I think they are in there

Hi FreeEarCandy Thanks for listening and for your positive feedback and question. I often struggle with reverb so I'm glad to know you think I got it right here. I think I love reverb so much I would overdo it, so then I underdo it so I dont overdo it. As for Melodyne, I really use it on anything and everything both creatively and correctively. In this song I know I used it to change some bass and guitar notes to other notes, to make some counter melodies/harmonies to the original ones, to stretch out some of the weird effect noises/tones and ending bass note because I wanted them stretched out longer, it always surprises me when I use a vst synth and then look at the audio track in Melodyne that the notes are not 100% in tune which is fine sometimes but I think I did put the synth notes in tune, to clean up any weird noises like here the generation guitar has some squeaky noises that I think are supposed to be fret noises, I tried to take them out but it was not good, so I used melodyne to turn them down and fade them a bit. I definitely use it on lead and backing vocals in other songs, but do use it extensively on just about everything I might want to play around with, its really fun. Thanks again

Hi Andy Thank you for checking out my song and for the positive feedback, I appreciate both ! Yes I wanted this song to express stress and intensity and there is definitely chaos involved. I agree the drums hold it together as it is pretty piecemeal. Thanks again

Hi t, Thanks for listening and your ??. Today I learned where those are ha. Maybe I will start using them now... heres one for you ?. Thanks again

Great song, I think you nailed the mix, and the production. Great vocals. It sounds very professional in all respects. Wonderful.

I really like this, the song, the video and the concept. Fun. A bit ominous menacing dark and heavy with a floaty video. Just love the marching pulsing multiplying sea urchins and the arrival of the big closeup. Very much enjoyed the rhythm, instrumentation, tones, guitar work. well done!

Hi freddy, Thanks for checking out this song and leaving feedback for me. I'm glad to know you enjoyed it ! It was a lot of tracks to manage, with clips all over like a patchwork quilt, but I worked on the basic part of this a long time here and there so knew a good bit of it well. I am affirmed that you felt this mishmash of clips worked and that the creepy, tense, intense mood was conjured from them. Thanks again

Hi Bjorn, Thanks so much for listening and your very interesting imagery. I will now join you in thinking of pagans dancing around a fire at Stonehenge on the summer solstice. Yes mysterious doings! I especially enjoy feedback that is what a listener saw from the music, so nice to know. I appreciate your feedback and this fascinating diversion from other less pleasant things on my mind. Off to the gathering !

Hi Ross, Thanks for listening and your comment. I can see how you could liken it to prog rockish style, I have listened to lots of that in my life along with many other styles and it all bumps around in there. I'm glad to know you enjoyed it and felt it was unique and creative and even though tense found it to be in a good way. I appreciate your comment !

Hi Nigel, Thanks for listening and your feedback. I'm glad you enjoyed it even though the mood/atmosphere of it is what it is. I appreciate your comment!

Hi noynekker, Thank you for listening and the very affirming feedback. Thanks for listening on headphones as well as speakers, I think some of the sounds were enhanced on headphones. I'm glad you liked its different feeling, even if it is stress and uneasiness because that was my intention. I googled modal vs tonal and the variety of descriptions leave me unsure how to understand the concepts. I would say the song just turned out the way it did as I played around with it. Try as I have over the years, I am quite uneducated about music even basic stuff like keys I have to ask Melodyne etc. I would say I am more of an intuitive and play around with stuff songwriter. Thank you for your supportive words ! It means a lot to me

Hi mark, Thanks for listening and sharing your feedback. It was challenging to keep track of the tracks! it helped that i had worked on it intermittently for many months so I kinda had a grasp of stuff, and then added more stuff. It was a nice break from singing !!!! I will check :22 thanks for the tip on that. I'm glad to know how the mood came across because that was my intention. I'm flattered you were impressed, thank you it means a lot!
