Thanks Tom , I'll give the mando another listen. I've got a load of instrumentals that really need fresh ears on them . RickF gave me permission to post a remake of "Blind boy blues" I did it just so I could learn how to play slow blues lead. Took me a month to learn and record what he did in one pass just improvising. I may post it here when I feel more comfortable about it . Thanks .. mark

Thanks for the listen and response , and yeah John , I've grown so weary of hearing my own voice , this was one of many that turned in to an instrumental. mark

This is one of my earlier CbB projects I've revisited. It's an instrumental featuring mandolin , with acoustic guitars and synths. I've been having problems getting things to sound right on streaming platforms. Any feedback is welcome. Thanks ... mark

If I am processing a 32 bit stereo track on a different pc and uploading in 24 bit to a streaming service , do I need to use dithering or does it even matter. Do streaming sites like Sound Cloud dither when they convert ? Thanks ... mark

Very entertaining . LL&P

Joe , if you have a midi track playing the instrument(s) you want , you can always use "bounce to tracks" and then have another regular audio track of the midi performance. This new track can easily be trimmed , copied and pasted, and be moved around anywhere you want. This then frees up your first midi track. you can then change the instruments for it and still have the audio from the first one. You can also edit the actual midi file in piano roll view to improve the performance with new instruments . You can bounce again and continue this process. You can then trim all of your new audio tracks to play , or not to play when ever you want. This process is a lot quicker and easier than it sounds . mark

Killer groove , the backing tracks even without the sax would be cool. I think I would have put a fade in at the intro though , building up to the rest of the high energy song. I "really" enjoyed this one. mark

This one so far is the best I've heard from you. I really liked the breakdown at the solo piano part. I don't know why , but I always think of David Crosby when listening to you.. mark

I've got my main control bar (at the top) to show a module for several commands. One of them is prv. I messed around in lenses and screensets until I got everything the way I wanted , then saved it as a new lens. Most everything I use daily is one click away.. mark

flamion , You can use Bandlabs free and unlimited mastering service. Just google it. I've never used it but using Cakewalk by Bandlab , I would give them a try ... mark

The furthest pane on the left is your view and controls for the selected track. The next pane to the Right is your track inspector. Next is your clips pane. I always keep my track inspector pane slid over to the left so it doesn't even show up , to give me more room for my clips. When you press your pro channel button you should only see the pro channel effects on the far left pane. This IS in Track view with the arrows >> in the collapsed eq module for expanding it. I always close my pro channel when I'm done with it , leaving only one pane and my clips. No clutter. mark

Hello, When you open up the pro channel "collapse" the eq module and you'll see another control pointing to the right. >> This will expand the eq to almost Full screen. mark

I havn't gotten to the bottom of this yet and I'm not doing anything different than I've always done. Is everyone else getting the move symbol by just pointing at the marker before clicking? There must be a problem at my end. I'll keep checking. Thanks .. mark

I have responded to a few posts about deleting markers , but I am now having problems myself. I can't seem to be able to get around the <-||-> symbol that pops up when I point to the marker. It would be nice to be able to R click on a marker, and have the option to 'delete it' as well as rename it. Thanks ... mark

I use to could hover on the marker , click and hold , and hit delete when the arrow turned white and pointed down. Now I'm getting 2 vertical lines with arrows pointing L/R from each side. Looks like its' for moving a marker. I know this has been covered before and had something to do with mouse controls after a CbB update , but I couldn't locate the post. I've found I can delete from the Markers view but would like to revert this in pref. Thanks ... mark

I went into demo mode on an old laptop yesterday. BA also needed updating. I disabled my AVG protection , update from app failed , manual instillation from app also failed. One thing I did notice was it was using an Avg secure browser I didn't open to communicate with bandlab. After 4 times I got it by bypassing the app , turning off my firewall and using chrome browser. It showed up a couple times , but couldn't log in. I will also uninstall first next time. Thanks for the info .. mark

Great performance and mix. I thought the candle scene was truly a work of art.. mark

Awesome again .. Really like the "bite" in your pick attacks. Great performance .. mark

Extremely clean mix. I really liked the bass also. I don't have a clue what a chromaphone is but I liked it . Thought it was tiny bit dry though . Thanks I really enjoyed the listen .. mark

I'm back .. I am pretty new to using a controller and synths. This was the first time using the piano synth and didn't know how it acted. I didn't know you could keep the midi tracks and delete the synth . I reloaded it and now its' working normally. Sorry for not trying everything before posting ... mark

Cheers to everyone , I'm using SI piano on a new project with my midi controller. I'm using the default program. Made some adjustments , turned on chorus and tremolo . After getting the sound I want , I lose the tremolo "amount" setting when I close out the SI gui. Everything else stays the same. This was after recording 22 bars and saving , and then wanting to increase the tremolo effect. Do I have to save these adjustments in the vs2 dropdown options as a preset every time I alter a loaded program ? I updated a few weeks back , so I'm probably using the latest build. When I'm done with these tracks I'm sure I can make my adjustments, minimize the SI piano and freeze the synth as a workaround . Thanks for any help . mark

Rick , After 2 laptops and a flash drive , I loaded you song in my main daw located in my barn. Set it to loop , and grilled out . I let it echo off the bottom swamp land , and bounce off the bluff located behind my property . I'm sure everyone enjoyed it ! I hope your medical problem resolves .. I'm recovering from a blown eardrum from an infection , I know how an intrusion like this feels.. Thanks for the lesson ... mark

Simply Awesome .. How do I find your Soundcloud page ? Thanks .. mark

Very well done . Nice ... I think the gaming industry has done a great job of raising the bar on music quality for people who only listen to music in a lossy format , or in a noisy car. Enjoyed it .. mark

Douglas, Now knowing you comp everything yourself is even more impressive. Not just playing the parts , but having it sound like a "live performance" by seasoned band. Great job ... mark
