Produced in CbB but added a few new instruments from the Reason Rack, primarily the first sound you hear which is called "Struck Grand Piano" from the Pangia World Instruments module. My attempt at a story. Inspired by Christopher Cross (Ride Like the Wind) and Steely Dan (Don't Take Me Alive). https://www.soundclick.com/music/songInfo.cfm?songID=14451566 ?John B

Enjoying the drums especially. Totally different kind of beat. But the entire song and production are top drawer. ?John B.

Watching this is like taking a mini vacation. ?John B

Great playing and great production and arrangement. Also very relaxing. ?John B

Never mind. It's not CbB. More that for some reason I was hitting the accents a bit too hard. ?JB

How are slide up/down done in SI bass? Must the pitch bend be used or is there a keyswitch or a MIDI control command? Thank you very much. ?John B

Hi; I'm having a problem with my Trilian bass module when I transfer my MIDI bass track to audio. In a certain part where I'm playing a jazz part where I have 16th notes in accents and slides it sounds fine in the MIDI editor in CbB but when I transfer it to audio some of the notes in audio sound like they're clipping and produce a squeeking sound instead of audio. I tried reducing the accents BELOW 100 but no joy. I tried raising my buffer to the highest setting before transferring. Nothing seems to work. Is there a setting in Cakewalk I can use? I've done this type of thing hundreds of times with no trouble. Is this something I can address in CbB or should I consult Spectrasonics? Thanks. ?John B

I enjoyed this. Melody straight from Scripture. ? ?John B

This is nice. Great work with acoustic and electric guitars. ?John B

It sounds like a great base or background for something to develop further. I would add more "instruments" to it in a lead line that stands out in front. Also, expand your beat to more sounds than just the "kick drum" and "Hi Hat". I favor real drum sounds over the electronic "beeps and blips" of electronic kits but even those sounds can be effective when used well. In a nutshell, I'd advise you to get more sounds into it. Develop a lead line. Great start though. Use your imagination and you'll do fine. ?John B

Wayyyy Cool!! I'm not big on Metal either but this could make me like it a bit more. The effect on the vocal is ear catching, like a buzz saw. ?John B

Interesting. How did you do the low vocal effect @1:17-1:34? Also, welcome! ?John B

Relaxing. When I close my eyes I can see a very pretty countryside somewhere in my mind. ?John B

Kinda like Steely Dan meets Bowie. Cool. I especially like some of the chord changes. ?John B

@BapuThank you very much, sir. Means a lot! @Bajan BlueThanks so much, Nigel! @DeeringAmpsThanks Tom! ?John B

Thanks for listening, Doug ?. ?John B

Enjoyed this very much. That SG does sound nasty (in a good way, of course). ?John B

Man, this is NICE!! Ear candy!! ?John B

Love the fullness and depth of the guitar. ?John B

Very relaxing. Would work nicely for background music for a narration type of setting. ?John B

Very pretty. Nice work by both. Tasty guitar leads and brilliant vocals. ?John B

Thank you, Mr. Bluesman!!? ?John B.

Thanks for listening, @KSband ?John B

I like the way you go back and forth between the heavy and the mellow in the song. Video graphics are quite impressive too. ?John B

@Jesse Screed & @bjornpdx, Thanks for listening and your feedback. ?John B
