Hello Lynn , I don't know how I missed this one. Love it ! It's for sure one of those where the chorus sure sticks with you. Looking forward to any future productions as this one was Fantastic. Best of luck to you both , keep the faith .. mark

Does the problem still happen if you "don't" use the spacebar to stop recording ? I once had the double problem of drivers and a sticking spacebar causing all kinds of problems.

Nice one Bruce ! I love the energy in it. Sax sounds great in the break. Maybe some panning automation on it would help with frequency clashes. Loved it .. mark

Nice .. I believe I mentioned once on one of your other songs , that you need to do more in minor keys. From the sound of this one , I believe I was right. I missed the last mix but I still felt the vox is slightly too far forward. I was also wanting to hear one more round of the chorus hook line in the fade out. Still .. Very impressive. Enjoyed it .. mark

@bmarlowe , I did some further volume automation on the vox in this mix , and made some comp changes. It's a lot more forward in this mix. It does sound a little loud to me though ?? @freddy j , @Jim Fogle and @bjornpdx Thanks guys for the listen and weighing in . 👌 @FreeEarCandy , Yes I was reffering to Cakewalk TTS. It has a very usable brush kit. The snare tap , slap and swirl are nice. If you put a real low snare tap under the kick and toms they get improved. Cymbols are pretty weak .. I also fixed some timing issues and cleaned the mud out of the acoustic guitars. Thanks to @Chaps for that one. I'll probably do some further tweeking but am pretty happy with it for now. Thank You .. mark

Thanks Chaps. I suspect it's the Godin nylon guitar (2 tracks). I'll take a close listen to it in the morning. I Really appreciate the observation and guidance. @Wookiee , Thanks my friend for the listen and comment. Thanks Timbo. I Always struggle with the volume of my own vocals. Not a problem with someone elses. I'll look at closer. As far as the backing singers , I had a pretty hard time with All of the high notes , and even with the Oooh parts. Thanks for the suggestions .. ms

Hello , Here is a cover of one of my favorite Neil Young songs. It's taken me quite a while to get this one to this point , especially for such a simple song. Any suggestions for improvement , nit's and crit's welcomed. Thanks for the listen .. mark Weapons- Takamini and Godin acoustic guitars , home made lap steel , Ibanez bass , piano synth , TTS brush kit , and a few hand held percussion instruments including a paint brush on a chair seat. 😁 https://soundclick.com/song/15145206

Good Luck with that. Any new vst's or instruments? I'd start freezing tracks and check in task manager for excessive cpu usage . Something will eventually show up. Sure hope this doesn't slow you down too much .. ms

Great mix/master. I Loved the energy in this one. It was hard to sit still while listening. Loved it .. mark

Steve , this problem has popped up up for me as well in several versions of CbB/Sonar. Some were Very simple drum clips. Seems to happen randomly . It must be a tricky problem to resolve. ms

I believe my first was "The Man from Uncle" then I worked my way up to "Secret Agent Man". It sure felt like I was going to be a killer guitarist then get all the girls .. ms

Cool , I loved the binaural effect this had. Was this just very wide panning or did you use any surround sound processing ? Enjoyed it .. mark

Treesha , I must say the video had me laughing a few times. 😁 I do think the main star was your vocals. Very Nice .. I especially enjoyed the harmony(s). Superb job , I really enjoyed this one .. mark

Thanks guys for listening and taking the time to comment. @Larry T. , I had an old 32 bit sax instrument I used for this remix. I think it made a nice improvement even though it didn't sound very saxy until I hit certain notes. The pitch wheel helped a good bit. @Bajan Blue , Thank You. Yes that is an upright I've used in the past with good results. It's actually from the old Cakewalk Sound Center. You can get some good buzz out of it if you are real careful with (again) the pitch wheel. @Wookiee , I appreciate that. No new toys , I'm just trying hard to find the "inspiration" to learn to play what I've got . I've got nothing but time but , I'm running out of it .. 😊

@Larry T. , Thanks Larry for the listen and comment. This one started off as a short instrumental. After posting it on another forum , the first response I got was "it needed a sax". I'll see if I have a sax instrument capable of improving it any. If you or anyone else want's to have a go at it .. PM me. Thanks .. mark
