  1. Excellent work, enjoyed listening! What strings are you using?
  2. Nice track Wookie! Very cool, mysterious sounding composition, the thick analog synth textures work well, really draw you in.

    Nice track Bjorn! Definitely does have a weightless, floaty vibe to it, which gives it the space music feel for sure. 2001 clips are a cool touch. Great work!
  4. Fabulous songwriting and performance, your daughter is very talented! Your production choices are great as well, really compliments the tune. Enjoyed it!
  5. Hi Nigel, thanks for dropping in and checking it out! Appreciate the encouragement
  6. Hey Lynn, thanks for dropping in and checking it out! Not usually my style of production, but I'm trying to stretch myself into new areas as well. I thought this bass pattern would lend well to a more electronic arrangement, so I gave it a go.
  7. Great work on this, Mark! Everything came together nicely… Guitar work, vocals, production, all sounds great, balanced and clean! Enjoyed the listen!

    Nice work on this Jack! Very nice vibe, cool textures and progressions.
  9. Hey Bjorn, appreciate the kind words and for taking time to listen!
  10. Hey Larry, thanks for listening in, I appreciate it! Your encouragement is appreciated also!
  11. Thanks for listening and for the kind words! Have fun with the bass line!
  12. Haven't used the mastering tools on Bandlab, I'll check it out!
  13. Very cool, driving groove! Great guitar work and nice vocal effect. Love the "honey you got a dime" break too... ??
  14. Hey, thanks for the listen and for the encouraging words!
  15. Thanks for listening and for your comments! Good suggestion about the length, I was thinking about that, anyway, so you kind of put me over the edge!
  16. Thanks for listening and for the feedback. I’m sold, vocs need to go UP!!
  17. Thanks for listening Jack and for the feedback! I have gone back and forth about the voice volume, I think you’re right it needs to be up a bit.

    Program Me

    **REVISED- Took some good advice from @jack c.@subvibeand @PhonoBrainer, and raised vocal volume and shortened overall song a bit. This is a re-imagining/remix of an original song written way back in 1985. It was a signature song for an LA band I was in at the time called The Program. Originally written as a straight ahead rock tune, the funky and catchy bass pattern was the central component of the song. Our bass player played it on a Mini Moog (props to him, we had no sequencers, lol!). This new arrangement and recording maintains that original bass pattern and vibe, but definitely takes the tune into completely new realms! I originally played the high-bending synth lead part on my very first polysynth, a Roland Juno 60. I don't have it anymore, but I wanted to maintain that original flavor, so I used a TAL Juno 60 emulation on this. The rest of it is a mix of hardware (Korg Kronos, Yamaha MOXF8) and software synths (Kontakt, Surge, LABS, ASDR Loom and Hybrid). Valhalla Supermassive reverb was also used liberally throughout. The most unexpected source is the growling "guitar” solo, done with Keyscape, of all things! There is a Clavinet/Wah Pedal patch that I used, and was blown away by how cool it sounded! Anyway, enjoy and let me know what you think! https://www.bandlab.com/post/7fa45535-2602-ee11-907c-6045bd31b313
  19. Wow, really smokin’ track. Well executed, both production and performance. Congrats!!
  20. Nice track John, strong songwriting, and musicianship. Vocals are good, only thing you might consider is they seem like they could sit in the mix better. Kind of loud and on top of things, which is no doubt crowding your headroom and preventing the instrumental mix from being brought up more. Overall, great job!
  21. Great job, Larry! Nice production and performance, very smooth textures and vibe. And hey, live harmonica! What else could we ask for? ???
  22. If I’m understanding you right, a really easy way to do this is just highlight the desired track/events in PRV and copy it. Then paste into your new instrument track. Copy function will also copy all the related controller events.
  23. Great job on this, Jack! Really, interesting tune, cool sounds and textures. Especially like the the organ work in intro and instrumental break.
  24. Excellent and expressive piano piece! You have mad skills, my friend! Love both versions, prefer the 2nd.
