I feel like I’m “Cruising’ with Ruben and the Jets”! Man Freddy, I wish I had your knack for storytelling, I really do. You know, I kinda think it’s done, you can polish it up, but I think there’s a chance you’ll lose a little of that raw (I hate using the word, but I think it applies) authenticity that defines Freddy J. Tom

I get the raunchy rock reference, or maybe garage rock. Does, as Freddy says, have a bit of a Link Wray influence. I see it in a scene where the “minimalist” feeing doesn’t distract from what’s on the screen. You say you feel like you’re growing, stay at it! Bring us some more. Tom

Yikes, you’re asking for trouble!

The “word” on SSD’s originally was that you shouldn’t constantly write and overwrite. So for OS use or samples, you write to the drive, then you read from it. I’m sure it was recommended not to de-frag an SSD, because again you are writing/rewriting. Modern SSD’s maybe not an issue? When Jim at StudioCat recommends SSD for the audio drive, I’ll be “all in”; until then... I haven’t googled it lately, maybe times have changed. Tom

Old school here: OS: SSD Samples: m.2 my system supports 1 and VSTi load so fast from the m.2 it would be a “waste” for anything else. Superior Drummer loads “yesterday”! Projects: still using WD Black drives. Until the last word comes in that write/rewrite is not an issue on SSD that’s where I’m staying.

I think this and “So Much More” could be the basis of an operetta. I’m very much enjoying your work! Tom

I think I caught the underlying message, or maybe I’m just “reading” something into it? As to a review; well done ?! Now that’s live guitar work, not some kind of loop? If so, nice “chops”, nice chops indeed. Tom

I think some work on the segue to make the transition less abrupt. No concrete suggestions unfortunately, but I do think that’s how I would approach it. Not my genre, but you held my interest to the end. Tom

Surely the music and video work well together, and I totally “get” the underlying subject matter. Just not sure how the video and subject matter are linked, but a big A+ all around. Tom

Always a pleasure to hear MrsDaryl. I’m giving the Pickled Fizzies a big bunch of thumbs up! ? ? ? Tom

Firstly, I do believe you’ve got things properly organized now; and btw, you’ve been busy, I am impressed and maybe even a bit envious. Fine guitar work indeed, hopefully he will “take bow”. I actually enjoyed the horse racing, but l’m involved in the equine business.., Yes the echo needs to go, that’s an easy fix. If you stay with the race just let the announcer finish it. Of course, if the video goes a different way, its all moot. I take it you mostly are adding video to your projects, not scoring to video? All in all well done. Fix the end and move on, pretty obvious you have plenty of material. Tom

That’s how I did it. Tom

Randy Just a suggestion, I think I would put each song in a different thread so you can keep the critiques organized. Tom

Very tender, very heartfelt. Good job on the vocal harmonies. Love the guitar tone! Mix sounds well balanced here; its a wrap as far as I'm concerned. More! Tom

Gorgeous!

Well thank you Steve, I really appreciate the kind words. And thank you Makke for the kind comments and taking the time. Tom

I don't know if I'm breathless or speechless... Keep it up Jesse, keep it up! Tom

GAS got the better of me, I'm "all in"... T

All right! Some interesting guitar and bass work. Married the synth and vid to it well. Overall mix sounded good, loud but not "squished"; well done. Not exactly my genre, but all good. So is it a subset of metal? Tom

Thanks Lars, looks like maybe I'm gonna be $129 lighter... "Curses" I like it! This GAS is a curse! T

So $129 is the "best" deal. I'm not really a TH-U user, is that worth it? Is the "Academy" worth it? Questions, questions, questions! Inquiring minds want to know... T Do I need it? Do I even want it? Why am I asking you? Gawd this GAS is killin' me!

iLok required for "perpetual users"?? iLok Cloud for All Access Users, what's that?? T

Yep, I'm a fan, had to! Listening now. T

Link works fine on my computer, AFTER logging into BandLab. Does not work on my phone, even after logging into BandLab (this is via firefox). Maybe if I add the BandLab app to my phone? I don't think I'm so inclined... Tom

Some heavy guitars to be sure, but as soon as they hit, all I hear of the drums is that crash panned hard left. If the waveform that BL is showing is anywhere near accurate you've "slammed" the mix; for me it makes it a bit hard to "hear" all instruments. @garybrunyou need to sign into your BandLab account; I find that annoying, but evidently that's how BL works. FM I hope you find some constructive criticism in all that, you've got some things going on and I'd like to hear it all. Tom
