Very beautiful and sensitive voice and song. The new guitar really suits you and the recording itself was very well captured. Makes me want to add strings to the song. Enjoy your new baby !

Nice piece, very fluid and clean. I would enjoy some dramatic sustained dirty lows in there booming in now and then, just what I would add next if it was my piece. Of course just a taste thing. It has a lot of movement and upper energy that carries it along nicely and some unexpected changes.

Interesting piece, sounds like Peter and the Wolf and an occasional bear ramble into the scene and perhaps Bigfoot who I have heard might be in Oregon ? Having done many years of camping I can relate! Some of your sounds at night in a campground in the woods would get my attention! Lots of images come to mind listening. Some of the themes could be pieces on their own.

So this is an older song about a breakup and how over time the good memories cloud up the bad times adding to the heartache. So its about remembering realistically how things were to move on. I thought it would be easy but took a long time because I keep getting new stuff to try and have to learn how to use it as I go along. Its my second attempt to use Ample guitar strat which is really fun, and I just got the Shadow Hill compressor with the sale price and used it last minute. I wanted to know if a high priced plug in is really very different from low priced ones and it is. Probably obvious I played reggae with Jamaican friends for many years and that my voice is impacted by the strong juniper pollen so I just did the best I could with it. I don't think of myself as a singer but I write songs with lyrics so.... Thanks for listening !

Should work fine in new cakewalk by bandlab but some plugins you may have used back then might not be available. Good luck

Sounds great. Really captures the mood, piracy, the vast ocean, ships, rum, a fun listen. Good luck in the contest.

Hi Brandon. I like its sound and favor a few of the presets. Im at a disadvantage cause my keyboard doesn't let me switch articulations using keys. Its complicated to me and I haven’t had it very long, using it on my 2nd song now. I want to try the generation too. I watched many YouTube videos before buying but i am nowhere near as proficient on keys as the video ppl. Overall pretty pleased but don’t have the best equipment or keyboard skills. But fun to use and learn for me.

A few free Kontakt things I got (via the deals forum on here I think), that have individual samples in them are 8Dio Post apocalyptic guitar, and 2 by Jakob Reinhardt Crispy Clean Strat, and US Dream Guitar. Not sure if that is what you are looking for, the samples are one note each. Not for Kontakt, but I wound up buying Ample Sounds Guitar Strat and like it. I am interested in the Generation by Indiginus that does require Kontakt.

Well done. Interesting voice. The snare does overpower your vocals at times, maybe just lower the snare when that happens?

Sounds great. Your vocals are wonderful and the music really compliments the mood of the lyrics and the emotion in your voice. Nicely mixed too.

Sounds good over here. I like the panning/movement of the guitar at the end. I like the dramatic parts, they are rich. If it was my song I would take some of the parts that are “arpy” for lack of a better word, and put some occasional variety in the note patterns in melodyne or piano roll. Good journey

I like it the way it is. It makes me want to listen further. Curious where you will go next...

Plug in manager utility lists what chosen as included or excluded by you so all plugins should be in one or the other category in there

Thanks David! It is my first attempt to use my newly purchased ample guitar strat instrument. I played first on my guitar then melodyned to midi then fixed the midi then into the ample and Th3. No lyrics came to mind and it was pretty full already. Working on one now with lyrics lets see if i am brave enough to post one with me singing ha.

Ha thanks John B. Interesting assessment !

Thanks for the feedback. I am not a proficient guitar player and wouldn’t have considered how a good guitar player would have more variations in the phrases and range. I played bass way longer and think i play guitar like bass in a way. The ample strat is new to me and i am far from knowing how to use the articulations etc. I will pay more attention to the things you point out so thanks for commenting. Always more to learn!

Thanks for listening and I’m glad you appreciated it! I have been making mostly instrumentals since getting komplete kontrol and a few synths before that. Just started on a not synth instrumental and i am enjoying the drums bass guitar vocals organ thing after so much synths!

I laughed when i read your comments so they translated fine and my quick ha was my laughing translating back. Thanks for the thumbs too up i did notice ? and appreciate it lots but my first response was giggling about your humorous comments. Thanks for humoring up my day always a good thing

Ha

Thanks for the comments! Jack c yes. I used a slightly distorted preset in ample sc instrument with a reduced amount of delay and reverb in that preset then put it through a th3 preset i liked with it. I dont know john foxx music but will check it out. Nigel the pot is actually a stainless steel water distiller i use to purify my well water. When its done the inside of the pot has some mineral residues that make interesting patterns. Being into abstract photography i took advantage of the moment. Glad you guys think the guitar sounds ok. I have lots to learn about how to use it! Electric guitar is my favorite instrument. Thanks again

Very nice piece, I like the guitar playing a lot. The song is very relaxing, meditative and rich with feeling. What culture is this from if it is a traditional canoe song? And how would it have been played in the traditional way, what instruments? It sounds a little western at times, but then not. thanks, treesha

Very Steely Dan-ish , and the lyrics are very meaningful. Sounds very balanced and well arranged over here. Yes, those muses !

Just finished this months in the works song, between home repairs and kept too busy getting new free and cheap stuff thanks to the deals forum, and on top of those bought Ampleguitar Stratocaster. This is my first attempt to use it. A lot to learn and I think some parts of the “neck” sound better than others. Tried to use some tips I read on the forum about guitar vsts. Overall I think it sounds mostly better than my hagstrom that is way overdue for work ! The image is the inside of a pot colorized. I guess this is a rock song with orchestral elements? It was fun to make. I tried to make the drum parts more interesting based on previous feedback. Thanks for listening and any feedback, treesha

Just went to the link twice and got these

From the ni site... i have had to do this disable in the instrument in addition to the cakewalk setting often.... KONTAKT's Volume Resets When I Press Play in my Host Sequencer Symptom KONTAKT's Instrument volume is reset when you press play or stop in your host sequencer. Cause Some host sequencers are configured to send MIDI commands CC7 and CC10 when you press play or stop. KONTAKT can be configured to respond to these standardized commands to reset the loaded Instrument's volume. Solution Follow these steps to prevent KONTAKT from reacting your host sequencer's play / stop commands: Load an instance of KONTAKT in your host sequencer. Load an Instrument to KONTAKT's Rack. Press the wrench button on the upper left side of your KONTAKT Instrument. Click Instruments Options. In the Controller tab, disable the option Accept Standard Controllers for Volume and Pan. You can alternatively configure your host sequencer not to send the standard MIDI commands CC7 and CC10 when pressing play or pause. To learn how to do so, please consult your host sequencer's documentation.
