@Don CobbI installed it via flash drive on an off line pc. It went to C\program Files\VST plugins\Bitsonic\keyzone classic .dll Have you checked the plugin Mgnr. to see if it's excluded ? (VSTI instruments). I've used it on a couple of projects , sounds decent. Good luck .. mark

I thought you did a Very Good job with this song. The vocals were very impressive in this nice mix. I recently watched a video (from somewhere) and it showed some major record labels and publishing company's that actually had a team of "listeners" seeking out copywrite violations on different platforms along with their AI. Enjoyed the song .. mark

Great immigrant song . I think it's the Native Americans who should have built a wall.. I used to own a syncaset but seems like it was a Teak. Still own an Tascam 8 track cassette recorder and a suitcase full of tapes. Nice job bringing life back to your old but still relevant song . Enjoyed it .. mark

I Really like the light hearted smooth feel of this song. Great lyrics/Great writing ! Reminded me a little of some early works by Stephen Bishop. Very Nice .. mark

Kevin , Great track ! I loved the vocal doubling using the low voice , and the airy delay/verb treatment you used. (??) Lovely bass line as well. Enjoyed it .. mark

Treesha , Big difference with the new bass track. If I were to do anything else it would be to reduce it a little bit and pull a tiny bit of the lows out of it. The kick is losing a little power. Great improvement on the overall mix , Very Good Job.. mark

Very Nice Tom ! I Really liked the feel of it. Great cymbal intro as well and it started off Real Strong . I can't wait to hear what else you do with it. Loved it .. mark

Very Clean mix. I Really like the energy in this song. Great job ! ms

Paul , I've had this problem several times when trying to (using edit) remove a song and replace it with a new mix. If your song title is exactly the same , sometimes you can replace the song on Soundcloud and Cakewalk can still find it without editing anything in CbB. After removing a song , it seems like using a "link" to your song always works as it should. "embed" is where the problem comes up for me and I get the "can't find song". If you leave it that way , it will eventually properly imbed the song. Sometimes it's 24 hrs. later. I still haven't figured it out . mark

Another Great track. I Really liked the Wah and the build up near the end. Everything came together nice and powerful. With so much going on with all the guitar tracks , you probably can't use much reverb or any at all on the guitars (??), but sometimes I think "some" on select lead parts only when they come forward in a mix would enhance the feel sonically. As wild as you play sometimes you still sound reserved and tamed . I guess it's a sign of a seasoned player. Enjoyed it .. mark

I'm calling this one done . I've made changes including the length of the song and a new mandolin track. I thank you for all your help and time. Thank You all .. mark https://soundclick.com/r/s8kuqw

Can you get by with using the "gain" knobs for the midi tracks as a work until the problem is sorted out ?

From one star gazer to another .. I Loved the Song and Production , especially the drum tracks. Real nice change around 2:50 Enjoyed it .. mark

Very cool and experimental sounding. I agree with Wookie about the piano. EQ wise it could mesh better with the vocals. I think a little silence at the beginning before the song starts is also in order. Very creative , I Really enjoyed it .. mark

@Wookiee I checked it out "Watching the Black" You should Really sing more .. You've got that Pink Floyd thing going on.. mark

Absolutely a Beautiful mix. The vocals really took me back to some killer new wave stuff I used to listen to. Loved it .. mark

@jack c. @AndyB01 @KurtS @batsbrew @Wookiee Thanks guys for your time and comments. It Always helps. I'm still playing around with different instruments on this just trying a few things out. If I think I've made any headway I'll repost. Still got a ways to go. I Really Appreciate it .. mark

Love the power in this one. A Lot of things going on with the harmony leads , but everything is nice and grounded. Fantastic playing ! mark

Cool song Keith. I Like the steel drums . I think the reverb on the 2nd mix sounds good for the backing vocals. I think the delay was overdone on the main vocals. They seem to have gotten pushed back too far in the mix. I think it would sound better with a cleaner reverb and pushing them more to the front of the mix. Have a Great trip ! Now would be a good time for a sun burn. Tip one up for the rest of us. mark

Thanks for your suggestions. I made some minor volume changes on the guitars and organ. I'm not sure if I've made enough difference yet .. I'm Really missing the main melody line of the not included vocals. I think I'm going to try and cover it with a cello. It's suppose to be the instrument closest to a human voice. Might work , might not.. May take awhile. The link now reflects the changes. Thank You for listening and responding .. mark

I Liked this song when you posted it 5 or 6 months ago .. when it was already Finished and "for sale". I liked seeing you respond to other peoples works and hoped it would continue but , I also liked it on the Studio 1 forum , the DAW where this song was actually made.. The only responses were Yours with Constant bumps. You are burning bridges. I hope it's worth the $0.75 to buy it or $.0038 for a stream . You are a Super Talented musician but you're not playing fair. I Really wanted to let this go but You won't.. ms

@DeeringAmps @Bajan Blue I'm revisiting the mix. Are you specifically referring to the lead guitar coming in at 1:11 or anything trying to carry a melody playing against the left acoustic ? Trip to the dentist today. Major reconstructive work starting next week so .. this "is" for sure staying an instrumental . Thanks .. mark

Thanks Tom , don't know for sure where it's going .. I'm sure the Soundcloud version will be deleted several times before I'm done. I'll look closely at the lead stuff. mark

Hello to all. Here's a new one , and an instrumental for now .. I think I've got the basic tracks down . I would appreciate any suggestions for improvement. I made some volume changes on the guitars in this mix . I have now added a mandolin track and a short cello section after the intro. I traded an early verse for an extended fade and am happy with the mix for now. Thanks for your time and input. Time to start a new one. mark https://soundcloud.com/user-810058643/major-z?utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing

Treesha , Cool ! I'm really liking the high end stuff in this one. I like the 007 feel and dark changes as well. Very well done. For some reason I was wanting to hear some Muslim call to prayer type vocals in some select parts.. Enjoyed it .. mark
