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.

Cover of the 1988 hit "Copperhead Road" by Steve Earle. Started with a simple track of acoustic guitar and lead vocal by the incredible Scott Shenk. I got invited in to add keys, and also to mix and master. Also enjoyed collaborating with these incredible musicians, Fabian- Bass (Argentina), Craig- Drums (US) . Worked with only individual recorded .wav files from each artist, exchanged on Bandlab. All mixed and mastered in CbB. One out of the ordinary technique I tried that worked out quite well concerned Scott's lead vocal. He had recorded the vocal and guitar together, and though fine for a raw solo track, his voice was a bit low relative to the guitar for this project. I ran his track thru vocal isolation software, and then put the extracted vocal into the track. Voila, pushed it right to the front!!

Sorry for the loss you experienced Jesse. Really nice song in tribute

Very nice tune, like your vocals! Agree with others a bit more variety dynamically might be good, but this does seem to fit the lyrics well.

Really nice composition and production

Splendid tune, really nice work!

Great cover Steve, not an easy task covering ELP, you did it justice! Maybe could be a tad fuller in the low end and drums, but great work all around!.

Really great job on this one Mark! Stellar guitar work as always, nice vocs also. I agree maybe push those up a bit!

Very sorry for your losses Wookie. Very nice memorial tune for Missi.

Really nice work on this Mikael!

Thank you Nigel, appreciate it very much!

TYSM for the listen and feedback Larry!

Thanks Treesha, really appreciate your listen and comment! Wasn't just your ears, there were definitely some overtones in some of those patches!

Get familiar with editing in the Piano Roll View (PRV). Will simply your life dramatically!

Hey there Bjorn, thanks so much for the listen and comment! I seem to remember you posted something recently and you mentioned you were getting into UVI Falcon as well. What's your experience so far with it?

Thanks so much for the listen and comment, appreciate it!

Very nicely performed and produced, enjoyed this! 😎👍🎶🎶🎶

Thanks Jack, appreciate the listen! And yes, the Piano In 162 samples are outstanding!! 😀👍

Here's a new piece I just finished up. I treated myself to UVI Falcon at Christmas, and this kind of started off as a get acquainted project. I also recently downloaded a piano called Piano In 162, and the detail and quality is really fabulous! Also, made liberal use of the free Solaris shimmer reverb. I basically started this off with a very simple, kind of cyclical piano movement, and built everything up around that. All done in CbB.

Very nice work on this Mark! Very cool and catchy melodic riff. Enjoyed it!! 😎👍🎶🎶

You've got your stereo pair configured, but you're still using the wrong driver for the UMC202HD interface. Behringer does have dedicated ASIO drivers for this unit, they can be downloaded from their website. If you keep using WASAPI, you will likely encounter other problems and frustrations.

I will definitely listen to your new piece when it's posted! Thanks so much for listening and commenting on this! Yes it is Bach, but just barely, lol! Seriously though, Bach translates so well to more modern music, as his composition style tends to be very rhythmic and melodic. I did another Bach thing a while back, just for fun I put a 4/4 hip hop beat behind Invention 8, which is in 3/4. Was a nice little experiment, and really worked well (that may be open to opinion)!

Sincere thanks Nigel for the listen and the comment!

Sincere thanks Larry for the listen and comment. Really liked your current piece as well!

Nicely done Larry, very cool synth textures. Love the interplay!
