Hi Kevin, thank you for listening and your comment. I never have been into songs about stories and never thought I would make one but the occurances we had at the hotel convinced me her story needing telling in a different way, so here it is! Glad to know you felt the tragedy and that I got across the story in a lovely way, thanks again

Thanks for listening and the comment David, I always appreciate your feedback ! Glad you enjoyed it !

Maybe ask in q and a section, this area is quiet by comparison.

Was trying to get this done for Halloween, but life had other plans for me. This is a song about a young bride, Faith Summers, who was abandoned by her older husband after their wedding night. He went out for cigarettes and never returned. This is the only known photograph of her. (spoiler) She waited 3 days at the historic Hassayampa Inn, Prescott Arizona, in the Grand Balcony honeymoon suite, Room 426, and then in utter despair, hung herself from the hotel’s bell tower. According to the legend, Faith’s spirit is often experienced by guests and staff since her suicide in 1927. Some local musicians would perform in the hotel on Sundays, and we experienced many unusual activities as a group, and I had an experience when I was alone in the rest room. I felt inspired to write a song about the story and perform it there, which only happened a few times because Sunday music soon ended. I felt inspired to tell the story from the perspective of a spirit tired of the attention on her, the poor distraught young bride, but instead focused on the man who abandoned her, broke her heart and destroyed her dreams for a happy future. “Remember him, the Scoundrel Groom who vanished on their honeymoon.”

Yes I got the email pictured but when going to the site from the email it is says the bundle is 299.

Yes me too with ripple edit off

Im not a frequent user of audiosnap either, if i need to adjust the timing of some phrase i use melodyne and simply adjust the blobs/ notes to the timing i want. I find this melodyne method easy so just an alternative suggestion.

Just experimenting with this again since it came up. I duplicated a backing vocal track with no fx and the track meters are identical. Next I duplicated a different backing vocal track that has 1 fx (vocal finalizer) and the peaks in the meter are not identical. Like 1 says peak -11.6, the duplicate at the same time says -12.4. Another spot the original says -10.6 the duplicate says -11.2. They vary in small amounts as they play throughout. For fun I duplicated the duplicate. The original says -11.3, the first duplicate says -11.9, the duplicate of the duplicate says -10.2. To create a duplicate I right click on the track, go to duplicate track, check all the boxes under duplicate except link to original clips, ok.. I don’t touch the fx at all or anything else at all. No automation involved. With backing vocals I dont mind these very small variations just something I have noticed and was curious about. As suggested it must be a fx thing as it didn’t happen to a plain track. ps i wanted to add the fx in my example is pretty new to me, and this has happened long before I had this fx so its not just this fx that does it.

No I never have figured out why those slight variations happen when duplicating a track, but since the variations are really slight I just go with it. If you get any insights I am interested in what you find out.

Weird. No ideas about why this is happening but a suggestion- i would try archiving the midi track to import the audio then un-archive it and see if that preserved it.

Definitely creates a strong atmosphere of running frantically as you say, has a touch of panic mixed in, would be great in a film at just that tense scene, well done!

I got vocal finalizer a while ago, I like it for other than vocals too

Hi Eric, thank you for listening and for commenting ! I am so encouraged ! It was very powerful for me to make it, to put all that into a song to express it as best as I could. Now I am working on a kinda bouncy one because Walk A Mile was so intense for me. I'm glad to know that it was received conveying what I attempted to convey, so thank you very much for letting me know.

Hi Paul Bush, Thanks for listening and your feedback. I really appreciate it, !! and cheers back at ya.

Hi Barry, thank you for listening and commenting ! I appreciate you telling me the bocals are stellar ha, hope the singing was ok too ? and haunting, even closer to haloween...and appreciate that you commented the production was good, I spent a lot of time on it ! I am very encouraged !

I posted my experiences to say that if someone works in 64 bit and unknowingly or accidentally ( as happened to me somehow ?) exports a file at 64 bit it may not be acceptable to another program as happened to me.

I work in cakewalk at 64 bit but in the export box there is an option to export at 64 bit. I noticed a few times when the export box had 64 bit for some reason(?) (i normally choose 24) that when i tried to use another program on the exported file that it was not acceptable to the next program. Cant recall which program didn’t like it. Just an aside to the subject.

I use melodyne studio to extend notes but they don’t always retain the sound well if it is a too long stretch

IIRC I have had it happen a few times that on export I didn’t notice the 64 was being used and when I went to import that exported file into something else I use (don’t recall which program) I got a message basically the other program couldn’t import it. So I went back to the cakewalk export box and changed from 64 to 32 or 24 (?) and it worked fine in the next program.

thanks for the link, i dont think the id i got was for a bass guitar there. I think once long ago I found info about it, not sure where that might be anymore

didn't work for my gibson bass guitar oh well

Well done, enjoyed the song, the mix sounds good over here and all the instruments work well together. Words would be a nice addition but also works as an instrumental. Good work

Fun, bouncy, really enjoyed all the little accessory instruments here and there, and the vocals, mix sounds good over here, good message too !

Sounds really great, so many elements of the style of the song and the instrumentation and feel remind me of the Beatles. I am a bit picky about my own voice, and do think your lead vocal would be even better if it were tuned, but I do have an issue with vocals from mine so just my issue fyi. A great well done song

well that was a journey ! definitely a trip to space, very nice, unexpected arp part midway changed the feeling. I think the vocaly thing near the end was a bit heavy for the out part, maybe introduce it earlier now and then? I agree that it would be fuller with some low parts too. But yeah, really a great sci fi type soundtrack.
