Just wondering if anybody who uses any plugins from Waves has had a problem with Waves Central version 11.0.43 2019. I did the update yesterday (Fri 11/22) and it gets stuck loading at about 75%. I left it be for about 5 minutes and it eventually completed the load but when I went to update one of my plugins, that got stuck a 98.4%. I had my security software disabled for the update and tried uninstalling/reinstalling, but no change. I emailed their tech support but still waiting. Wondering if anybody here had a similar experience with this version. I never had any problem with any previous versions of the manager. Thanks ?John B

Can't be that great. ? Thanks so much, Chuck. I really appreciate your kind words here. ?JB

Apology accepted. ? JB

Hey! @Bapu On November 9, I took 5 minutes and 34 seconds of my time to listen to your song. Then I left this comment: Production is very professional and radio ready. Excellent vocals and playing. Great songwriting. ?John B Since you're not gracious enough to say "Thank you" I'll just have to say YOU'RE WELCOME! ?

Great tune. The vocals are top notch. ?John B

@Old JoadThanks very much, OJ. Glad you checked it out. ?JB

Cute. I can relate to the "technology helped me write this song" line cause I use it too. Very entertaining. If that's you at the end, you're coming along fine. ? ?John B

Thanks so much, Lynn. I don't know why but sometimes when I'm recording the vocals in a project I get all tensed up. I even find myself closing my eyes real tight. It's become a habit and I don't understand it. It's not like I'm in a recording studio where "time is money". I'm in my own home on my own time. For some reason, on this project I gave that the boot and just let it whale out of me and it shows, especially in the choruses. I'm going to remember that next project. I'm not quitting. I just feel as if I need to take a short little break from it. But I've said that before to myself countless times and it didn't last long. Inspiration is a fleeting thing. If a good idea presents itself, you can bet I'll be on it real quick. ? ?JB

I think out of all you've posted this is my favorite. The harmony on the backgrounds are exceptionally nice. ?John B

Thanks. This all works, but why can't a WAV file be encoded? ?JB

@macceThanks so much for listening and your feedback. ?John B

Is there any way in CbB to add ID3 tag information to a finished song when you render to WAV or MP3? I've been doing this by opening the finished file in Audacity and adding the info there but just wondering if it can be done in Cakewalk before you render to the final file. Thanks ?John B

I'd put a bit more reverb on the lead synth in the middle part. Other than that, it's really nice. ?John B

Yes. #2 is going in the right direction. Keep doing what you're doing. It's getting there.? John B?

Glad you like it, Freddy. Thanks so much! ?JB

So true. Most of my dreams are of work. I dream I'm back at the old "salt mines" even though I retired from the place more than 4 years ago (but that wouldn't inspire a song ?). Thanks! ?JB

@David SprouseThanks, Dave. Actually, I learned a lot from Scaler. ?

Very pretty and well played. Happy holidays to you too! ❤️?John B

Mix sounds pretty good here. Can't really think of anything else it might need (except a bit more cowbell) ? ?John B

This is really neat, Freddy! Gary's right. Couldn't stop my toe from tapping from the beginning to the end of this tune. ?John B.

Is somebody trolling my words? (See my comment above) John B

Thanks for listening and commenting, Mr. Miller. I really appreciate it. ?JB

Thanks Tom. I was beginning to wonder where you got to. Haven't seen you around for a bit. Yeah, I agree the intro is a bit long. So is the outro. It seems to be a song that doesn't want to start, and then doesn't want to finish. I keep re-making the outro. Guess it's an "art thing". I spent 4 hours yesterday expanding the outro with more strings, but then after listening I thought "that's really a bit too long", but at the same time I wanted the last 4 notes of the strings to heard, so I finally settled for a long fade out. I just put that mix up, if you care to revisit it. ?JB

Thanks Doug! Crosby or Fogelberg. Either are a comparison to be proud of. ?JB
