Xoo

Thanks @PhonoBrainer Hawkwind tend to reimagine their songs over time, so it's different from the original (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KPctyMg-asA&pp=ygUbbmlnaHQgb2YgdGhlIGhhd2tzIGhhd2t3aW5k) but not redone in a completely unexpected way. My monitoring isn't great (practical reasons - like volume) so I can believe it's a tad unbalanced in places, but it does sound clear for me...but I do know the song rather well! Since there were 2 singers and 2 guitarists, it'd be nice to know which (Vocals - verse/chorus; Guitar - which solo) you're referring to ?

Sonny and Cher - It Takes Two

Weird - YT said released 2013! I reckon it was a busking song (Dave Brock was a busker pre-HW) and they both took the song in different directions.

Tricky one. 2013>1969 or 2016<1969? You decide.

Litmus - Dreams of Space

The forum auto-bleeped my song title! Amazing. Not. https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/43188/the-owl-and-the-*****-cat

We "(mis)interpreted" this classic poem many years ago and I've been meaning to put it up online for ages, and finally got round to doing it. It's somewhat rough around the edges but it's meant to be fun and a little silly more than anything else... https://www.bandlab.com/post/f8db7168a32de81180c300155d60d108_8717232bf9ad44a3a8b7a61c5dd3bbf8 It's off a quick'n'dirty 4 track EP called Menagerie (all the tracks are loosely to do with animals): https://www.bandlab.com/xoospacemusic/albums/c107d785-05ee-ed11-9f73-0022484437ba

I do think that something subtle has changed in this. I never (well, once in a blue moon) used to end up with anything other than what I was expecting to get exported (usally "Entire Mix") actually getting exported and didn't need to unselect everything to get it to work. But recently (last few CbB versions - it's hard to tell when as my exporting is sporadic due to other commitments), I often get just a clip or single track exported. Now this may well be down to how I'm working in CbB, and I've changed things without realising in a way that affects selection, but I don't believe I have. Has anyone else experienced a change like this in, say, the last year or so?

Not quite. Select a control and press F2 ("rename" in standard Windows shortcut keys).

Show of Hands - Be Lucky

Really nice. The first 30 or so seconds reminded me of TD Phaedra, but then it went its own way. I really liked the "slide" at about 1 minute 15, and the light drums kicking in were a very pleasant surprise - I thought it was going to stay resolutely drumless, but they gave it a nice twist.

Inner City Unit - Watching the Grass Grow

Or click somewhere in the track view to ensure nothing is selected. That said, I do feel Entire Mix is badly named and should be renamed something like Mix Selection, and a new Entire Mix option created which does what it says on the tin: exports what you would hear if you hit play right now.

Both misspellings of real words?

Led Zeppelin - Whole Lotta Love

Thanks Larry - interestingly, another comment I got from a musician friend was that the cymbals were too loud, so I take it I've got it about right ? I can't please everyone! Glad you liked it!

Hawklords - 25 Years

Pause key? Audio interface?

It's definitely an unusual Yes album, but OOALH is a great tune (and a couple of other tracks are seriously good).

Monster Cable would sue.

Thanks Nigel - I'll see if I can find a Stacia substitute somewhere ?

Some of you may know or have guessed that I'm a bit of a Hawkwind fan - I've had the pleasure to gig and record with a few of their ex-members over the years, and when Xoo used to play live (before the 3 Cs brought a halt to it - Careers, Children and Covid), we almost always encored with a Hawkwind cover. Night of the Hawks was one of the ones we did, and we'd always planned to record a studio version of it, but we never got round to it. I've recently ended up doing some collaborations on original tracks with a couple of other Hawkwind fans, and we eventually decided to record our own interpretation of Night of the Hawks. This is the result... https://www.bandlab.com/post/f8db7168a32de81180c300155d60d108_9e61fd015fb44be2a070c6fb78a4b748 Richard Marris - Vocals David Dilliway - Lead Guitar Kevin Perry - Rhythm, Lead and Bass Guitar, Synths, Vocals EDIT: Had to update link as minor mixing change made.

Robert Calvert - Working Down A Diamond Mine

According to MS, the kernels of home and server versions are the same: it's what they are licensed to support (eg. Max memory) and what else is included (eg. DNS service) that varies. Oh, and price ?

Interesting video and his take on things, but, jeez, the new version is dire!
