What's wrong with your vocals here? Sounds fine to me as it is. The song is a goodie, but I'm sorry I don't share your political views. I'm not a Biden fan. (Not knocking you for being one though) ? ?John B PS-I agree with Doug K. Send it into JB's campaign. I could imagine them using it. The slogan JOEMENTUM is catchy. ?

Thanks so much, Paul! ?JB

Some of my melodies have been criticized as being "too complicated". Maybe they are, but the harder they are to compose the safer they are. At least I know they're mine. ?John B

So sorry, Mr. t ?

Thanks t! (Note: Correction) ?JB

Very enjoyable song. Your vocals are very strong and have the perfect timbre for a song like this. Love the harmonies and guitar solo. A bit long, but who am I to talk in that category? ? ?John B.

I really enjoy the vocal harmonies and the overall feel of the song. 60's kind of groove. Nice! ?John B

Please forgive me. I took the song down from Soundclick last week due to personal reason. For the benefit of more who might have wanted to chime in I've re posted it. New link is also on OP above. Very sorry. https://www.soundclick.com/music/songInfo.cfm?songID=14002417 ?JB

I'm glad to hear you're feeling OK. I was a bit worried there. ?John B

So, you can post here and expect feedback but if we want your feedback we have to post on another site. ? ?

Once again, I think I've learned something I didn't know before about recording on computers. I've always thought that a buffer could never be too big but I guess I was wrong. My Scarlett 6i6 has been acting up since I updated the drivers in January. It was the first update of it's kind since I bought the unit in April of 2016. I had no issues with it before the update so I blamed the updated drivers and sent a support ticket to Focusrite because I was getting BSODs for different things like Bad Pool Header and other issues. They suggested I download a set of Beta drivers they have on their Beta Testing page, which I did. The default buffer on the new drivers was set to 512. I began hearing clicking like when memory is depleting. When I upped the buffer to 1024 the clicking got even worse, so I fired off another complaint to Focusrite. But I tried something. I turned the buffers down to 192 and the clicking reduced but still gave me a few. I tried going down to 128 and the clicking stopped altogether. I turned on my mic and tried a test vocal track which worked fine and, of course, there was very little latency in the recording. I upgraded my PCs memory from 8 to 16gb last October. It never occurred to me before that I could possibly run the buffers this small with this amount of memory. Am I correct in assuming this or will I run into memory issues if I continue to record this way? ?John B

@freddy jThanks so much, Freddy! ?John B.

You should put this and some of your other pieces on a CD collection of therapy music. It would work for others. Very peaceful. ?John B

Yep. Sounds like 3AM to me for sure. And I know because I'm often awake at that hour. ?John B

So, that's how it's done now. OK. I stand corrected. Go for it! ?

@StariseThanks, Star. By "mix glue" you probably mean buss compression. That was the next thing I was going to try. ? @Douglas KirbyThanks so much, Doug! ?

IOW-Needs more cowbell!!?

Very skillful playing for sure and you've made this song your own in many ways. My only nit is the kick drum at the second time through. It's a bit heavy and distracting, but everything improves and comes together when it start to move at the bridge. There are several song I'd like to "cover" but I fear copyright infringement issues, especially with everybody being so "sue happy" these days. If you've got the guts to "brave it out", more power to ya. ?JB

@Beagle@bjornpdx@mark skinnerThanks all so much! @bjornpdxI'd like to think this would be another "Colour My World" as far as emotional milestone songs go, but I don't think it will get anywhere near that far. ?John B.

@gustaboThanks so much. This worked. That's the problem with instruments that "auto route". I learned something new today thanks to you. ?John B

I just updated my Scarlet 6i6 drivers and now the my keyboard controller doesn't work on past projects. If I insert a new instrument it works but not on the old one saved. I'd have to create a new instrument track and transfer the MIDI data to the new instrument track. I'm beginning to think Focusrite sucks. Last week I was having issues with BSODs after the most recent update. After leaving me hang for almost a week they got back to me asking me to DL and install a Beta driver. I should've just let things be. Any suggestions? ?John B

Are you getting favorable results? I must admit, I have this on my system but I use Softube's Fix Doubler more, I guess mostly out of habit. That was a paid plugin but at the time I bought it it came with the Fix Flanger at $99.99 USD. ?JB

Thanks, Matt. Looks pretty cool. I think I'll give it a go. ?JB

Allan; After listening to your song several times, I must say that I like it, but small nit is the second time you repeat "today" and sustain it. The harmony in the vocals sounds a bit off. Maybe this is what you're trying to accomplish in an artistic sense, but it does sound a bit chaotic to my ears. It's a good song though and a great production otherwise, but if it were my song, I'd tighten up the harmony there just a bit. But again, if it's artistic choice for effect I respect that. ?John B
