Larry T: Thanks for listening and commenting. Xoo: What you commented on is exactly what I was thinking. The 1st third or so is pretty good (IMO) but after that I couldn't get it to transition into something more than just acceptable. After numerous versions and getting real tired of working on it, I declared it done (for now).

Promising but I didn't hear anything that really stood out like a catchy chorus or something. Also it might sound better with fewer instruments or maybe give the violin the spotlight for a while. If you're still looking for a country fiddle, Indiginus has a really nice one and it's inexpensive. Well, just one listener's take on your song. -Bjorn

I like it though I'd call it more blues than rock. Seemed a bit repetitive in spots and the drums could use more variation. Except for those nits, I thought it was very well done. -Bjorn

Beautiful cover of one of my favorite songs. I saw his one man show back in 1992 where he performed this song as well as others on the Harvest Moon album. The album didn't come out until several months after the tour, kind of backwards from the usual way it's done. -Bjorn

Nice mysterious mood to this one Wookie. I keep meaning to use Synthi in a project but the editing is daunting (to me). Was kind of expecting Beatles "number 9 number 9..." somewhere in there. -Bjorn

The intro is simple, maybe too much, but things pick up nicely ~30sec. Very lively production which works well. The drums sound pretty good to me. -Bjorn

I like your description of this ambitious project - remake/rework/remix/reproduction. You have all of that going on and what a great result! Comfortably Numb is one of my favorites of all time ("..I caught a fleeting glimpse") and your version compares so well with the original. Great job Ross. -Bjorn

Thanks Tom. I appreciate the comment on the mix. My hearing loss keeps going downhill so I'm relying more on helpers like Ozone for the mixdown. For ambient stuff I always have Klaus Schulze in mind. Thank you Makke.

Wookie, Ross and Jeff, thank you I appreciate the comments.

Really nice melody played with a lot of expressiveness. Enjoyed it. -Bjorn

Man I love that bluesy style of music and I'm completely in awe of someone who can play it as well as you. Great job. Beethoven on top of your piano there would approve for sure. -Bjorn

Very well done as usual Nigel. I like how the videos tell the story in the lyrics. -Bjorn

Powerful production. Really grabbed me from the very start to the end. -Bjorn

Canis Major Spacy electronic genre with kind of a melody here and there. Analog Lab Omnisphere Zebra u-he Ace Falcon Z3TA+ Cherry Audio Elka-X Thanks for listening/commenting. -Bjorn

That's actually the Ample Guitar T, their Taylor vst guitar. I can't play guitar very well since surgery on my hand a couple of years ago (not that I was that good anyway) so I use the keyboard and edit notes via midi. Appreciate the comment.

Just a nice little melody.

I like the ominous mood to this one Wookie. Could be the soundtrack to a movie like Alien. Not sure about that constant whooshing sound in the background though. -Bjorn

Very dreamy track. Would make a great soundtrack to NASA images of galaxies and such. -Bjorn

Hi Freddy I remember when you got hit with the hurricanes, living as you do in hurricane central. Wow it takes a while to recover from those disasters. Glad to hear you've found time to create music. Take care. -Bjorn

I liked the video, even the tarantulas. Nice dissonance going on in the beginning which works well with the spooky theme. Vocal doubling is nicely done with good use of fx. Overall well done! I've used AI to generate still images but haven't tried video mainly because the technology isn't quite there yet. But I'm not so sure I even want it to advance to believable videos. -Bjorn

It's 124GB download, 62GB for Omni 3 and 62GB for the download installer. I don't understand why the installer is so huge but that's what it says. This will take a while. Edit: Download looks to be 62GB not 124GB.

Bought the M1 back in the day for almost $2000. And now it's pocket change.

Georgia On My Mind Moon River Yesterday Unchained Melody What a Wonderful World etc All standards that everyone knows because the melodies hit that emotional spot in your brain just right. Not so sure AI can come up with a catchy melody? I suppose there are algorithms to do just that but I'm not familiar with any results.

Very nice Larry. I like the buildup from the beginning and those very interesting backward guitar sounds. Ending was a bit abrupt? Anyway, great job on this. -Bjorn
