I do appreciate you taking the time to advise and I don't mind a bit. I can see there's a lot of and's. How about "I see your smile, it's so amazing" that fits. "just a smile ..." is better, allthough a not to much, but I'll make it work. The kick was lost in the export. Usual Cakewalk Step Sequencer thing. Thanks a lot. I will make a note af this.

Hi It's been a while since I've been around, as I make mostly instrumentals, but I got inspired to write this song. It's just a first recording without melodyne, but I can't figure out of it's a hit or a miss? Edit: Lyrics and guitar

I can't seem to find a proper area to discuss the Bandlab system itself. I feel that it's a site with potential , but also areas that needs to be improved. Would it be an idea to have a for support and feedback for using the Bandlanb site and integrations with Cakewalk ?

It was different projects. The lastest one was a real old one.

Since upgrading my Cakewalk have started closing down with no fault or warning or anything. Just gone. Anyone else seen that ?

Thanks for the feedback. Melody is very important to me too. Good to know I'm not the only one. I fiddled a bit more, but I wasn't able to update the track at the top.

Awesome sound and production of this one. I like the variety of the piece. Very enjoyable. Thanks for sharing.

Overall mix is good. Catchy title. It does so way to wet for my taste ?

Updated the thread with the finished structure.

I know a lot of people prefer the instrumental stuff, but I like the songs as well.Thanks for listening. I did notice that, but I think it's added in the master, as I can't hear it on the premaster. Maybe I'll try Bandlabs mastering instead. Thanks for your feedback. So one for up the vocal and one for down. That explains the 5-6 times I sent it to Emastered, before setteling on this, as I was not sure myself. I'll test the reverb. I think I could spend all day going back and forth on EQ and reverb on the vocals. I can never seem to get it just right. Thanks for the feed back

I agree with the previous, but it still sounds great. One thing I might add is that I don't like the way the strings fade at around 1:00. I would lower the velocities instead, but that's nitpicking thing.

I didn't hear the first version, but it sounds like it got tweaked right. Sounds pretty good in my ears.

A little too uneventful for my taste, but I like the sound and the beat of this track. Good vibe.

Nice song, nice mix. Personally I would choose another snare, but that's probably just me.

Nice mix and nice vocals. The bassline sounds a bit off in my ears, but maybe it's not supposed to sound "traditional"?

I like this style much better than Kråkstad. Sounds really good. Nice guitar sounds. It's gong to be sweet to get some bass on there.

Yeah, a bit too experimental for me as well.

Since my cover of Hotel California was such a hit ?, I thought I'd try another one. This is can hardly be called a classic and it's even covered rather true to the original, so it shouldn't upset too much. Again without Melodyne. 3/3 2019 : New mix using Bandlab mastering, + vocal reverb + bass

I know what you mean. It's easier to do your own stuff, because you don't have to compare it I agree completely. I have been practising this song in the original key, but one octave lower, so in this key it's a bit new. I'm going to practise i this key and hope be ok to losen up a bit, Thanks, Bob. My first cover that I used for singing alon in the car was a bit more like the original, but then I thought about doing it in a more contempoary sound. Thanks for listening, all. I updated the mix. Heard it on the big speakerand was not pleased. Still not intirerly satisfied, but getting closer.

I think that you're covering it like the original, you'd better ad something like better vocal, better guitar etc. and that's not really going to happen. Me trying to battle that guitar solo, would not end well ? I know how many people feel about covers and I particularly remember the reaction to Madonna's "American pie". I never felt the same way at all. People often cover my favorite song and I don't mind that. I can always turn it off and listen to the original. For me I (almost) always enjoy hearing a song in a different way. I did think about a Beatles cover and I have an idea about arranging Iron Maiden as swing. Should I refrain from doing so ? ? Anywasy thanks for listining. Any comments on the vocals? I have really no idea how it sounds to other people. I know I don't much care about hearing my own singing, but I hear that's pretty normal even for big stars, so I don't really know.

I've been doing some covers lately mostly for vocal practise, but also to be better at the production part. This is my idea how this song would have sounded if it was released in the 80's. The structure is the way we do it in my choir replacing the guitar solo with another chorus and ending, so that's courtesy my choirleader Lene. I didn't use Melodyne as it pretty much deafeats the purpose of try to get better at hitting the notes.

You mean the instrument or the album ? I'm pretty influenced by Mike Oldfield, so that wouldn't suprise me. The bell is actually sampled from the church bell. After I started on the project I found out I had it on video. Thanks a lot for listening. Very happy to hear this. Thanks a lot listening.

Very pleased to hear. Thank for listening .

Oh I'm sure it works. I just not smart enough to use that tool.

I actually tried that and couldn't get it to work.
