  1. Nice to have you back, Lynn! I can relate to the caregiver role. I did it for 10 years. Its not easy, but probably the most rewarding time in my life in terms of relationships and the human experience. The song is well done. Stay well and happy in all you do, Lynn!
  2. Oh yeah. This is very nice. The dialog was a bit hard to understand in certain areas, but I think it kind of adds to the mysterious nature of the piece in a strange way. Well done!
  3. The flute was nice. Also the jazz guitar is well done. Actually all the elements are blending very nice. I have no comments about the mix. It sounded good to me. Nice work! Wishing you a speedy recovery from the surgery. Stay well!

    Wow! 14 Already. Yeah I like the whistle lead and also the bassline. You have certainly mastered the arpeggiator tool. Though I think a beefed up drum kit would have added some more body to it. Seemed a bit dry and thin. Interesting nonetheless. I think I left off at #9. Will have to dig up 10-13 and have a listen. Stay well!
  5. Way back in 2009, when I didn't even know what VST meant, and much less how to use it, I tried to pull this cover off as best as I could with my new purchase of sonar by cakewalk. While my heart was 100% in it and my guitar skills were reasonably capable of pulling it off, I didn't really have a good grasp of all the bells and whistles inside of my new DAW and never recorded anything in my life. Moreover, I never fooled around with much piano, drums, bass, synth, etc. Simply stated, I was very limited in a lot of areas that would be necessary to pull this off. Nevertheless, I was able to get something that sounded good enough for me at the time and I posted it on Youtube. To my great surprise I got 50,000 views, which lasted about a week before Youtube took it down and scolded me. Fast forward. I have been revisiting a lot of my older recordings with much better skills in hand, and 1 by 1 doing my best to improve them with some new tools. This be one of them. "Coming Back to Life" is a song by Pink Floyd from their 1994 album The Division Bell, and it is the only track on the album credited solely to David Gilmour. Gilmour has stated that the song was written about his wife, Polly Samson, reflecting on their relationship and the emotional support she provided during difficult times. The lyrics explore themes of isolation, betrayal, healing, and personal transformation, with David reflecting on a period of emotional pain and withdrawal while contemplating a new beginning. A list of some of the things I fixed and used: Vocals - Shure SM57, VX 64 vocals by Cakewalk, Aurora by Isotope, Cascadia by Isotope. Drums-ADrums 1 70's kit Bass - Native Instruments Rickenbacker Organ- Native Instruments Hammond organ Processing - Digitech 2101 signal processor, TH3, Guitar Rig7, Neutron 5, Ozone 11. That about "covers" it. Thanks for listening ahead of time. https://www.bandlab.com/track/d34776d4-3dd6-f011-819b-6045bd3096b1?revId=d24776d4-3dd6-f011-819b-6045bd3096b1
  6. Yeah. Probably should have just let is remain a acoustic guitar piece as it was originally intended. Thanks Bjorn for the listen.

    Simple but it does pull one in. Dark & mysterious and has the PF welcome to the machine vibe. Cool stuff, Wookie!
  8. Wow! When it rains it pours in your neck of the woods. And your poor sis. Wishing a quick recovery! Music sounds great, Freddy! Just keep them coming when you can. Get well and stay well! That's an order!
  9. Very nice, Mark. I didn't realize TTS had a brush kit. You are referring to Cakewalk TTS?
  10. I didn't notice. I thought it was an enjoyable performance.
  11. Beyond my ability to advise.
  12. Thanks bmarlowe! The reason I used 3 violins was I couldn't find anything in my library that sounded like a classic country fiddle. I had loaded up several VST instruments while searching and I began playing around with all three at once and noticed I could get something interesting enough by panning them and letting each of them come in and out using automation. Created a bit of interesting motion with the different timbres panned apart. Thanks for the listen! Stay well!
  13. I'm perplexed. I don't know where the 3min of noise came from. I did notice the wave graphic was unusual, but I haven't uploaded to soundcloud in a while, and I noticed they updated their site and assumed that had something to do with it. Well its fixed now and thanks for the ears & heads up, my friend!
  14. @Amberwolf Well I'm glad you enjoyed my pumpkin pie. Not sure what sounds you are talking about or what you have in mind for your project. This was a simple bare bones acoustic guitar piece (rhythm, lead, slide) I put together in 2013 and recently updated with additional instrumentation. The old project had no bass, violin, banjo, drum. You can PM me here, and if I can help you out with something useful to you, no problem. Stay well!
  15. Out of my league, but it sounded good. Has that low end theater quality (rumbles ones bones). Yeah. I can picture this as a movie sound track for sure. Nice work.
  16. A instrumental country tune. A bit late for Halloween. 3 mins. 3/4 118 BPM. Acoustic Guitars- NI Violin-String Slide SI String Section-Default Dim Pro Violin-ESP 2v Attack AD Drums (1)- 70's Kit NI Bass-Rickenbacker TTS-11 Banjo
  17. I think you missed just 1 note. Just kidding. I loved it. Excellent playing! Great song too! Worth a ticket to watch and listen. Thanks!
  18. That was nice work. Really enjoyed the take and the old cartoons. I'm trying to remember who did the narration at the end on the original. Was it Vincent Price?
  19. Well done. You captured Rodger's voice perfectly and a lot of other details in the music. No critic. Just admiration. Thanks for posting and sharing the excellent work, Ross!
  20. Not my genre either, but I kind of get it when following the lyrics. Yeah, the distortion creates a sense of irritation and rejection (as noted in some of the comments), which I believe works well with lyrical concept (crooked people). Can't imagine using such lyrics backed by a pleasing harmonious love ballad. Just wouldn't fit. So, I'm giving you thumbs up. The music fits the concept 100%. As far as the critic about the sound quality, its always nice to have ears to help you along, and many here have good ears (I'm not one of them). So, I'll avoid such critic and let others who do guide you.
  21. Trippy 60's vibe. Cool video to match. The lyrics are very creative. Everything sounds good and a lot of interesting layers in the mix. 100% loved it, Treesha!
  22. I know what you are going through. Keep at it & get well.
