You don't have an external or thumb drive plugged in that's showing up as E do you ...

Bill , Very cool. I loved the guitar work and tone , I was wanting to hear more of it. Were you using a mod filter ? Enjoyed it and hope to hear more from you.. mark

I just broke down and cried watching "Yo Yo" my 14 yr. old red nose pit trying to make his way back inside. Another visit to the vet Friday. I think the hardest part for me has been when to do the right thing . I know it's coming soon .. This post has really helped me to prepare for this and I definitely feel for you and know what your feeling. thanks for sharing .. mark

Gary . Great song my friend. Your vocal quality always shines thru. I'll be looking forward to hearing a final version. Best of luck to you with the new band I'm sure you will do well despite the added hardships right now. Enjoyed it .. mark (post something in Norwegian sometime)

Here's a pretty laid back instrumental using my neglected cello , nylon guitars and backing with my homemade slide guitar. All crits and suggestions welcomed . Thanks .. mark https://soundcloud.com/user-810058643/angels

Barry , Very well done that gave me a good times feel like some of the old Allman Bros. instrumental sections I used to listen to. Great job , I couldn't replay instrumentals I did last month much less from years back .. mark

I have an easy to see monitor, so I just use a wireless keyboard if I'm recording something that's hard to let go of , like an upright or cello.

I loved the bottom end and bass in this one and the very tasty use of Wah. Incredible guitar work and tones. Crying shame you lost the project , but you couldn't tell it from this mix.. mark

That was excellent and Very relaxing. Sounded good thru cheap earbuds on laptop. mark

Smooth ! You have a Very nice voice . I think some laid back kick and rim shots along with less of the am radio sound on the vocals would really bring this one forward. Enjoyed it .. mark

Creating a desktop shortcut to this folder has been Very handy for me ..

A previous thread on this issue suggested uninstalling Bandlab asst. from the control panel first then download the latest version. I've done it this way ever since and I've never had a problem updating BA or CbB.

Passing comments can turn into a really great song ..

Ken , I wish you all the best in your musical endeavors , and I totally agree , You Shouldn't use Any type of social media . I'm out of this one ..

Very nice ! I think it all came together at the build up when the organ came in. Great job .. mark

If you know how to use Google you can find out what "Anything" is ..

I really liked the visuals showing the different great parts. I thought the guitar work and tones were great. It must be nice working with a good real drummer. I miss working with a not real good real drummer .. You tube was glitching a lot , I'll listen to it again later. Fantastic job! It was just too short. mark

Great songs and recording , I've been listening to a lot of early recordings of Mississippi John Hurt lately. You definitely hit the delta blues sound. You should do well with this collection. Enjoyed it .. mark

I had a recent project that kept bringing up the dialog . If I used Save As and then continued with the project , each time I used the regular Save the dialog popped up. If I closed the project after a save as , and then reopened it , a normal save never brought up the dialog. mark

as a 68 vw owner I'm not sure how to take this ..

I remember reading a response somewhere on this forum where you could easily navigate to the highest peaks in a clip or in clips pane . I'm sure someone here will weigh in on how to do this , I'd like to know myself .. mark

I didn't want to go there but here it is. That's one reason for doing this to his vocal. So it doesn't sound like "him" anymore. Not only does he sing bad , He has No timing or rhythm , but he tries and loves to play and sing. I've improved his vocals so much in the past he actually doesn't know how bad he is , or the hours I've spent cringing during melodyne sessions. Double tracking his performance doesn't work, micro shifting a copy does. This isn't a normal studio situation. If this doesn't work I'll go back to the conventional methods. Thanks for the input , wish me luck ... mark

Thanks for replying . I have used All of the above suggestions except the V -Vocal one. None of them created the effect like transposing it. There was something about the change in the Air sound that greatly enhanced it also. I was just wondering if I had missed out on a not so widely used technique.. mark

Thanks for the link , I'll try that sampler the next time I have a need for one. Sounds much easier mark

I have a partner in musical crime doing a cover of "Hello in There" by John Prine. He always wants his voice deeper and thicker, and I've done all the tricks for him on previous songs. I transposed a live version of the song from Mr. Prine down 1 step for reference (to the key he want's to do it in) I noticed Johns' voice thickened up so much he sounded like a Big Chested Deep Voiced modern country singer. I was wondering if anyone has tried this technique maybe singing only a half step higher than normal , then transposing it back down for the the thickening and deepening effect ? mark
