Wow, very cool and unique tune Treesha! The addition of the AI vid makes it a happy and trippy little ride indeed! Great work all around. 😎👏👏🎶🎶🎶

Good cover whilst going for how the song was originally sone. Bass needs to be stronger IMO (says the bass player 😉). 

Vocal was excellent.

 

Thanks so much for the listen and feedback!

Go into Preferences and make sure under Project>MIDI that the box is checked for Zero Controllers When Play Stops. 

Nice tune Bjorn, well composed and performed!

At first I thought it was Soft Cell "Say Hello, Wave Goodbye"  😉

Thanks Gary, appreciate the listen!

Full band collaboration/remake of the iconic tune by The Who, released on their 1982 album It's Hard. I've always loved this song, and I've been hearing it around a lot lately (including on TV shows, i.e. Severance, Kobra Kai). Thought I would take a deep dive and attempt a cover of it! Tried to remain faithful to original, but with just a tad funkier vibe to it! Fabulous efforts by my ever capable compadres from Bandlab, Fabian (bass), Craig (drums), and Ross M. (guitar). I am on keys and vocals.

As usual on these collabs, I did my tracks in Cakewalk, and then uploaded them to a new project on Bandlab. The other guys did their thing and added their tracks, and then I brought everything back in to CbB to mix/master.

On my end, here's my mainstay stuff I used:

Sequenced keyboard/organ part- UVI Falcon (mostly) and NI Massive- ran a filter sweep also using a free funky plug-in called Frohmager. A few embellishments from the original Pete T organ sequence were used here and there to keep some of the original character

Electric Piano- Keyscape Vintage Vibe

Drum Machine Loop- Kontakt CR-78

Korg Kronos (hardware synth)- Frills, trills, and horns in middle break

Vocal Microphone- Warm Audio WA-47jr FET- used a combination of Kontakt Raum and Wave Alchemy Magic7 reverbs, with old trusty Nasty DLA for vocal delay effects

Interface- Focusrite Scarlett 4i4

Other Key Plugs- NI Supercharger compressor, TDR Nova EQ, JS Inflator (free Sonnox Inflator alternative)

Yes it is a Fantom question. I'm hoping someone who owns one can chime in. The Roland Clan Forums is not working as far as letting new users join. Old users can still post, but I've tried various ways to contact the forum and several have said it's dead. I've tried other forums and no response. This is such a great forum, I hope someone who has a Fantom can give some insight.

Gotcha. Have you checked on Facebook for a Fantom user group? Maybe you could find some help there. I have 3 hardware synths in my studio (Korg, Yamaha, Alesis) but no Fantom. The vast majority out there are just using VSTi's with controllers now, you know?! I wanted a Roland sound library also and actually considered a Fantom, but for that I opted for Zenology  😁 

Not exactly sure what you're asking,  if you're talking about where to put a new patch/preset in the Fantom memory. If so, that would be more of a Fantom question than Cakewalk one. Seems like the thing to do would be to find an empty user bank/slot on the synth and place it in one of those.

Hey Steve, definitely a big fan of the show! Really love your version of the theme, great work here!!

Nicely done Nigel! Very well composed, performed and produced. Enjoyed the listen

Hi All

This is the fourth track off our new album - it’s called Savant Sage

A bit different to some of the other tracks on the album - Hope you enjoy it and play it loud!!!

And the whole album is available on Spotify

https://open.spotify.com/album/1EkCYSCfOyvrCwYf3hPvMt

We’ve updated our website as well – we’ve got our own store now where you can get music and merchandise!!

I believe if you are pasting notes that extend beyond the end of a clip, it will do what you are describing. Bouncing would alleviate this, because it does away with the individual clips. If that's what's going on, just pull the end of the clip out a bit past the last note you're pasting

Cool

Thanks Nigel, appreciate the listen and comment!

@mark skinner  Bagpipes.. would have loved to have seen and heard that!!  LOL

Ha, yeah would have enjoyed doing more with the pipes, as per the original! Scott had just done a guitar and vocal track originally, I don't think he envisioned this growing into a full-blown thing. I didn't want to pollute the sparse guitar intro and outro he had done.

Enjoyed that.  Scott sure Nailed the vocals.  I think I would spread the instruments out a little and make a little more room for the vocals. Still .. Very good as it is.

I bought a set of bagpipes once just to cover this song. Never did learn how to play them..

Enjoyed it .   mark

Thanks so much Mark for the listen and good feedback!

Agreed. I enjoyed your version.

Btw, my older brother used to be good friends with Steve Earle's  sister Stacey. Back in the day they were both playing the clubs in Nashville trying to break into the biz. Rock On 👍

Very cool with the past connection with your bro. Thanks for the listen!

Thanks for the listen and comment!

I want to take a drums midi track that has all the hits and separate each drum piece into its own take lane so I can solo/mute and export audio for each piece (snare,  kick, ...).  Also for the piano roll to only show the not of the lane that is active.  Is this something doable?  I tried to select say the kick notes and drag it to a lane but it doesn't do it.  The way I can do it now is to create a midi track for each piece, copy all notes to all the midi tracks and for each track delete all notes and keep only say the snare to create a snare track, and repeat the process for each piece.  Too tedious so I'm look for a better way.  

It would be cool if the piano roll has mute/solo control for each note. 

Use a drum VST like Steven Slate drums (has a good free version). Has a mapping menu in the UI, you can map the notes of your midi track to various kit pieces. Then, you can output the kit pieces to individual audio tracks.

Hey Mark, thanks for taking time to listen and comment. Appreciate it!

I liiike this one!

I can hear some other things that could go on in it... (some vocalizations, a few other things I'm not sure of yet).  Would you mind if I played around with it by recording the SC into my system and adding some bits?  Not sure how I could get it to you afterward, but we could figure that out, if you're up for it.  

Thanks for listening and commenting. Do you have an account on BandLab? I could put it on there, and if you know about "forking", you can start a new project using that track and add your own parts and interpretation to it. Even the free account is fine for that. Also, you don't have to do any recording on the BandLab app. Once you fork it, you can download any tracks in the original project and then just do your adds in Cakewalk if you prefer.
