Scenery (of all kinds ?) is wonderful. The song is top quality in all aspects, as per your usual very high standards ?John B

Just got off the phone with Sales Engineer Mark Brun of Sweetwater. He said he has heard nothing of the kind that Waves was going to do this. But I've dealt with businesses of all kinds (including the outfit I used to work for) that say one thing one day and the next day that all goes out the window. Mr. Brun also said something that warrants pondering. If this is supposed to happen in a few days (3/26/23) you would think that they would've put up public notice (via their website) long ago. I DO remember getting an email back in January that said all licenses for their product must be registered by March 26 in order to continue to be operational. March 26 is this coming Sunday. Not much longer to wait. ?John B

Just checked their website (waves.com). Not a word about it there. Does "In House" mean that we will no longer be able to purchase them through retailers line Sweetwater? I always buy Waves plugins through Sweetwater because unlike Waves.com the tech support is free indefinitely. ?John B

Another Freddy J classic. You have a style all your own and a flair for those vocal harmonies. Great guitar work, as usual. ?John B

@Bajan BlueThanks so much for listening, Nigel. Glad you enjoyed it. ?JB

@Lynn WilsonThank you so much, Lynn. Thanks for listening. ?JB

@treeshaYou're very kind, Treesha. Thank you so much. ?JB

@bjornpdxThanks Bjorn. Down as far as sad but the world isn't full of happiness all the time so neither should music. ?JB

Very pretty. An "acoustic" treat. Ear candy. ?John B

I don't think it needs a chorus or middle 8. It's very powerful as it is. Very intense. Reminds me of Steve Perry & Journey (Separate Ways (Worlds Apart). ?John B

Takes me to pleasant places in my mind. Lovely. ?John B

Yes. Needs vocals but what you got here is great! ?John B

I'm loving the fearless experimental nature of this song. It seems to have it's own genre. You use some interesting combinations of instruments. Love it. ?John B

Pink Floyd meets Dan Fogelberg. Your vocal harmonies are beautiful. The rest of the tune is superb. ?John B

Very chaotic. Some great instrumentation. ? John B

Very effectively expresses turmoil of some kind. You should be a film or TV score composer. You know how to manipulate emotions with your music. I hope all is well. If not, I hope things improve in your favor soon. Best ?John B

Very catchy melody. Love the vocal harmony arrangements. Great tune. ?John B

Hi Lynn! I like the tune very much. Great production all around. I'd cut the volume back on that one synth though. Just a bit. Seems to overpower the rest of what's going on. ?John B

I know it's a "down" song but I hope you like it anyway. Suggestions welcome.? https://soundclick.com/share.cfm?id=14552355 ?John B EDIT-If 5 minutes is too long for you I did an shorter edit here https://soundclick.com/share.cfm?id=14555160 But lacks a few essential parts.

I bought it in 2010 for about $10.00. I've had various problems with it over the years. The interface all of a sudden stopped working and I was forced to switch to the Sampletank, which has some kind of stupid remnant noise associated with it. What finally put the kibosh on it for me was when I bought a new PC last year and IK Multimedia asked me to pay a $9.00 fee to allow me to re license it (and my ARC 2.5) or something like that. I declined. Session Strings Pro2 and UVI Orchestral Suite are much better anyway IMHO. ?John B

Thanks, Scook! ? JB

I just took notice to something on an automation curve. On the picture I've uploaded the automation curve to the left is at an angle and the curve to the right is straight vertical. How is that controlled? I just came upon this by accident but would like to be able to manipulate it like this to my liking. I know how to add nodes but I don't know how to make them straight vertical like on the right side. Thanks ?John B

Thanks Reg. Everything works OK for me. I am sending the entire content of the channel to the Buss. Thanks!?

I have a virtual horn section on a recent project. After I balanced the volumes of each channel I send the outputs of each horn into a stereo buss to make easier to control the mix volume of the whole "section". This works great but I'm finding that the insert effects I put on each horn doesn't carry over to the buss, so I must apply them to the buss if I want them to be heard. This works OK, but I'm wondering if the effects from the individual channels can also be sent to the buss as well, or might I just as well cancel the insert effects on the individual channels and just apply them to the buss? Thanks ?John B PS-Scratch the above. I just found out that the effects are indeed going into the buss. I just didn't have the proper buttons pushed. So sorry.? JB

I also want to thank @Riff Richards, @Lynn Wilson, @The DuoBros, @Dream Art Scientists, & @DeeringAmps for their "heart". Thanks for taking the time to listen. ?John B
