The ATOM SQ MIDI Controller.

That doesn't look like the kind of thing they would have taken years to develop. Stranger things have happened I guess. The ATOM doesn't look very useful to me for  composition work. There must be a huge market for DJ and looper/mixers out there. It strangely feels like many DAW makers are focusing on it so much they are letting the rest of us go. Yes, It's a midi controller and I guess that means I can use it to control functions in SO. I like the faderport idea better so far but am willing to be convinced.

Cubase are still clearly focusing on existing customers. This isn't a bad thing.  I keep hoping maybe they will look outside of the box and realize a deal for new customers every now and then can't hurt. I would be more tempted to try the DAW if they did.

Lucky you. You got out just in time.

I had never heard the Johnny Cash version of this. It's so perfect I assumed it might be a BaB track. If not, the mix, vocals and everything are prefect here on my studio cans. Whatever you tweaked must have been a real improvement.

I do like monkeys

thanks Tim 

 

Well you weren't monkeying around with that cat video then  I need to take notes- Monkey, Cats....whales too? Maybe that's too big to get into right now.

I don't recall hearing the first one which really means I probably never heard it. I like this mix. A very succinct and somewhat sad lyric Reminds me of when I'm sometimes in the dog house. Luckily that hasn't been for a long time.  Nice music behind the lyrics too. You certainly have a gift for this sort of thing and doing it well.

bjornpdx-  This was an "off the cuff" sort of experiment working with cello. I should have probably taken more time building the theme.  My recent situations have sort of zapped my creative juices and I'm trying to get them back! Hope you begin to feel better soon! Thanks for your comments.

Paul, Thank you for comments and listening! I seem to do melancholic well lol.

Hey Mark,  Thanks for commenting!This was the Tina Quo cello from Cinesamples. There are two of them and the first one I bought wasn't the one I needed so I ended up with both libraries.

Yes, I was reading the thread while enjoying the jazz and thinking "Uhh, on Bandcamp I can usually buy the album for $10 and have it in FLAC form, so if I wanted to buy one or all of Hidden's songs, how would I do it here...."

So it's more like Soundcloud, I guess?

I see Bandcamp as a listening/sales/promotion platform that does pretty well at all 3. You can follow artists and labels, they can send out messages to the people who follow them to let them know about releases and tour dates, etc. Tracks are usually available in FLAC and WAV, and when listening to my music collection through their app, their CODEC sounds really good. The purchasing process gives the buyer warm fuzzies, with encouragement to leave a note to the artist (which I have done and gotten at least one very nice reply).

It looks like BandLab are  so far going for only the promotion and listening (haven't given their CODEC any critical listening), which matches their usual M.O. of doing their best to confound anyone trying to figure out how they'll make money from a given part of their operations. ?

I'll be up on it as soon as I have enough finished songs....yeah.

I agree on the making money comments concerning Bandlab especially.  It doesn't compute for any traditional money making approach for them. 

I just bought UJAM IRON and their drums called HEAVY on a deal for 74.00 US. That was for both. It is similar in that it has drop D and doubling. You can get some heavy sound from it, I just need to work better with it since you don't play it like a piano or like a guitar. Has it's own technique. That deal went off on the 5th. Might get lucky and use code SUMMER could still be accepted. UJAM

I'm not cool with the "Cabal" name and the occultic connotations attached to it.....though I might buy the plugin and use it for opposite purposes. Sort of like using their own tools against them ?

Hopefully he'll turn up soon. Could have been a rough weekend maybe. The 4th and all that.  I'm a little concerned about appearing at his door because he doesn't really know me and firearms are legal here.

He's just a mile or so down the road from me...but if the guitar isn't wailing, I'll have no way of finding him...

If he hasn't moved I know pretty much where he is. Never would bother him though...unless we think he might be in trouble. No not that kind of trouble.

Pounding booze and eating ribs and this occurred to me so thought I'd ask. 

I don't think Fred is very smart. He needs a bigger car.

I figured out why they call them sliders.

I dig the synth textures in this. I have listened to attempts at this kind of thing before and it ends up sounding too "spacey" for me. I thought the patches had just the right amount of attack. This makes me want to look more into the Arturia stuff.

I'll be waiting for part 2 now

This is a nice tune . To me the vox reverb is a subjective thing. The reverb gives it a more retro feel or vibe IMHO than a drier reverb would. For disco this is a little tame to my ears. Very nice work! 

Bapu- Armageddon out of here? 

Thanks to all who commented and to those who indicated the clipping. That last process I ran it through was a bit much. Thanks for the heads up. Issue is corrected now.

Don't tell anyone, this was just between us....This was an experiment of sorts to help me adjust to mixing cello.  It almost sounds like something and unfortunately has reflected my mood at times lately.

Lovely Daryl. Cats? I thought you liked monkeys?

Douglas...A nice retro rocker to my ears. The up front "raw" feel of the mix is something I miss in many more recent mixes. 

Tom the visuals are stunning here. Great piano mix and playing.

My apologies to all for taking awhile to get back to you. I have had a few "events" transpire that took me away.

I appreciate you taking the time to listen to this and comment.

Douglas- Thanks man!

David- Thanks for listening and comments. My "stuff" is sort of all over the map though I'm heading back in the Celtic direction again. 

Tom- Much appreciated!!

Bat- thanks for stopping by. Your take on this is much appreciated.

Tom (emerald soul) - I had thoughts to extend this or add to it...maybe segue into another track from it. Your thoughts on the drone are good ones.

Wookie- Many thanks to you for comments!

This one started ok and then I sort of got carried away at the end.

Heeeelp! I've fallen and I can't get up.

No worries. I have matches.

Ouch. 

They haven't stretched the truth here at all. 

Put yourself in his place. What would you be feeling? 

Me? There would be enough propane in the space to displace all the oxygen.
