thanks. Mine are usually inspired by an extreme emotion, mostly grief. I am trying to write an "upbeat" song and it is not easy so that is why I asked.

I like it but on my speakers the bass drum is a bit loud and distracting. Might sound different on a full on sound system.

I like the simple sound. Might back off of the reverb on the voice. (unless that is the original recording). Just distracts to me. Otherwise, very nice.

Nice tune. The one synth sound comes across more as static on my smaller speakers. Especially near the beginning.

Interesting. What was your inspiration for this song?

Projectscope has some of the features, but it is not real specific. It gives a general list of tracks and effx, but doesn't tell which effx are on which tracks and any of the settings. A good start for sure and nice that it is free.

thanks I found this link http://forum.cakewalk.com/ProjectScope-for-Sonar-Project-Files-CWPs-updated-to-support-new-Sonar-project-features-m3584169.aspx

Is there a way to print out a project so that you have a listing of tracks along with effx, VSTi's, EQs, etc that were used?

I did find this information from the website https://help.songtrust.com/knowledge/who-do-i-need-to-get-permission-from-to-record-and-release-a-cover-song INCLUDING A COVER SONG ON YOUR OWN ALBUM You don’t need a license if you are releasing a cover strictly on streaming platforms. Services like Spotify and Apple Music license songs and pay royalties to publishers as part of The MLC (The Mechanical Licensing Collective) that was launched in 2019. This means that artists releasing covers on those platforms are not responsible for any related royalty payments. If you plan on releasing a cover song as part of a physical and/or downloadable record, you will need a mechanical license. The current statutory rate for mechanical licenses in the US is 9.1 cents per downloaded song or song on a physical album purchase. You can secure this license through Harry Fox Agency's Songfile, Easy Song , or the copyright holder themselves. If you want to cover a work Songtrust currently administers, you can email us directly instead of contacting a third party service. Distributors like CD Baby will usually help you obtain licenses as well. If you want to release two different versions of a cover song (live and studio recordings, for instance) you will need to obtain two separate mechanical licenses.

Wow, I see a lot of unlicensed covers on this forum. Nobody is calling them out.

Very nice. Guitar tones reminded me of Trans Siberian Orchestra. (compliment). Thanks for sharing.

Like your voice. Calming, nice song. Only comment on my part, I expected the Clarinet to be an octave above. I think it kind of gets lost where it is now.

Great tune and mix.

Nice

Thanks again for your comments. My music tends to be related to strong emotional events in my life, and as a result, tend to be on the dirge platform. Thanks for listening and I appreciate your comments and reactions.

I have created my last few songs at times of great emotional distress. My wife was diagnosed with dementia about a year before she passed. While she slept at night, I created this song. It was during COVID, thus the name, but had nothing to do with the disease. I wanted to play it for her, but not let her know it was about her. Comments and criticisms are welcome. Instrumental.

I like it. The only critique, (minimal) I would have liked the guitar if it had a bit more space. It felt a little too upfront for an otherwise dreamy type song. Maybe either a bit of echo, reverb, or something. Very nice playing and tune.

One of my favorite early metal songs. Great job!!

Sounds good, there is still something strange from about 7 to 13 seconds where it seems to get off beat and a little extra thump, almost like a microphone pop sound.

Cool!

Interesting so far, but there seems to be a double hit on the bass drum that is offbeat.

Love the guitar tones, nice recording and nice tune.

Thanks again for your comments. Like I said, this was recorded a long time ago so I don't have the original recordings or mixes so it is what it is. thanks for listening.

This is the first song I ever recorded, probably 20 years ago. (Not using Sonar or Cakewalk). I think I just had a Creative soundcard with line in inputs. And used a mic for the guitar. Enjoy and comments welcome. (Robbie was my wife so I wrote this for her)
