Lovely and to the point. I Really liked the kick drum especially in the first sections. I actually liked the vocal processing and how it sounded like you were close and singing quietly . It sounded natural as it would without adding too much reverb. Enjoyed the laid back listen .. mark

I Really enjoyed that and wasn't ready for it to end. Nice touch putting in the oriental sounding phrases. Great photos as well . One thing I didn't like was , I recently did a song about living on a Mars colony and just noticed , I referred to one of the moons of "Saturn". Very Nice .. mark

Great Song ! I loved the Power and also the Collins feel. I'm sure you'll play with the vocals more until you are satisfied. Have you ever tried a "whisper track" under the vocals for air? Sometimes it works great on select phrases. I'll sure be keeping an eye on this one . new subscriber .. mark

Paul , a Rocker for sure ! Great guitar work and Very nice vocals. I feel the pain as far as the song's subject matter, I've tried to stop watching so much of the news here in the US. I'd look at 1:43 , it's sounding like more than a bass growl. You've come up with a top notch song here again .. Enjoyed it . mark

Hey Gary , If this is your 1st mix I can't wait to hear how it changes. It already sounds Great ! Anything over a dozen tracks , I start getting confused. It sounds nice and balanced . No suggestions from me at this stage. Great Job .. mark

Great song and vocals ! I'm surprised this one didn't come up sooner .. Very Nice. mark

Very Soothing and suspenseful at the same time. Kinda how Blade Runner music affects me. Great Job everywhere . mark

@Cecelius2 I also use 44.1 in my DAW , but whenever I "import" a 48 khz wav file into a project , CbB automatically converts it to 44.1 Watch the top of the screen and you'll see a progress bar while it converts it. It happens pretty fast on my system. I do remember one time it didn't do it and I had timing problems. Deleted and reimported the file and it converted it the second time. I've never seen it but there may be a setting in preferences for this .. mark

Hi Treesha , I gave it a couple of listens when you first posted it , but didn't want to prematurely respond with my first impressions. My first was the upfront vocals. I thought it was more of a reverb issue rather than volume. Second was the lack of a bass guitar. Played slowly and sustaining I think it would add a lot to the mix. Anyway .. both were confirmed. It's a great song and I think you sang it Very well. Hope to hear a remix .. Enjoyed it mark

Great Job covering one of my favorite Beatles songs ! Very impressive especially for an early mix. Really Nice .. mark

Killer song ! I really liked the guitar/sax doubling , the Great guitar tone and of course the bass line. Your bass player Nailed it and I really liked the tasty filtering he used. Excellent mix ! mark

Fantastic collection ! It's real nice to hear them all in one spot. You Always choose the greatest songs to cover , and usually not very "easy" ones. Thanks for all the work on this . Awesome .. mark

"Feel good" and dance in the village music for sure. I love Irish music and you hit the spot here. I love this style but it has always eluded me as far as playing it. Great Job ! mark

Those were some Really Cool reverse tactics. Very smooth. Time to sing one backwards .. Loved it .. mark

Very Cool and fun sounding song. It sounded like about 10 people on stage. I've never used bandlab mastering but I like the way they retained the lows on this one. Especially on the kick. Enjoyed it .. mark

Great job on the lyrics and vocals ! I thought the lead breaks and guitar tones were awesome. Really impressive song. mark

Fantastic ! That was one of the best drum/bass lock in's that I've ever heard. Yeah , the entire production is right up there with the top notch jazz bands like Weather Report. Nice .. mark

One thing to check is go back to the plugin manager and check the "excluded" files for VSTs as well. I've seen a few get put there for some reason or the other. They can usually be "enabled" on the same page. After reloading CbB the first time after a Vst install you can usually see the new plugin being scanned at start up , and see your plugin count change. Make sure the DLL file "is" in the scan path.

Jack , You hit the right spot on the vocals. Beautiful tones and Well sung. I found the song Very relaxing. Great job to @DeeringAmps for the finishing touches. It didn't sound crushed at all to me with still plenty of headroom. To @jack c. , my only recommendation would be to start putting a couple seconds of silence , and a "slight" fade into the start of "all" of your future songs. Excellent job on this one. I Really enjoyed it .. mark

Steve, Extremely Nice Song ! I too am picking up that great Paul Simon feel. I think you have your Fantastic vocals mixed in Perfectly. The mix sounds Real good . (getting picky) the one thing I was wanting was to hear was that almost reversed sounding filtered drum part to be spread out more or sweeping more to the right side of the mix . Wondering if it was just my imagination , I swapped my headphones around backwards , and thought it sounded Way better sitting static but on the right side. ?? Something to consider if you do a remix. I Loved it .. mark

Drag the clip edge out "before" freezing

Great job on this one ! It's a rocker for sure. You did a Fantastic job on All of the guitars , I especially liked the bass and the different treatment on the guitar breaks. No crits . The drums sounded live , but I also thought there were a few places that need a little TLC. Very powerful chorus sections and Great job on All of the vocals. Very impressive song with your "signature" sound. Enjoyed it .. mark

Very good video with Amazing results. Why would anyone even think to try that ? For sure going to check out his channel. Maybe this should also be in the tutorials section .. Thanks for posting this .. mark

Tim , I thought this was a Cool song and Loved the title. I agree with Tom about the drums , sounds like you already know what the main problems are with the mix. 2 seconds of silence and a fade in from 0 to just past the start of the audio works wonders for abrupt starts. I've found on the endings , it's much better to watch the "master" vu meter and let it drop all the way past silent before letting the song end. I (now) do the final fades outside of the main project . I can then adjust them further if needed. I've messed up a Lot of songs with the outro , especially bad where I've lost the project or no longer have access to it but only have a single stereo mix. Looking forward to hearing a remix. Enjoyed it .. mark

Nice synth work , I thought it had just the right amount of guitar work. I really liked the panning backing vox and especially the powerful drum track. Another Great production .. mark
