Good advice above from those with much better “ears” than mine. I’ll just add ?s ? Where can we hear more from your vocalist? t left a like and comment on SoundCloud, have you?

Left my like and comment over on SoundCloud. It’s really not tough y’all. 59 and 10 that’s a marathon Jack, well done! ? t

Yes

I think you got the tone happening on this on Freddy. Yep, me too! Especially naked right there at the end; beautiful! Taking the chorus to the 4, priceless Freddy, simply priceless. All around ?'s ? and two snaps and a backfield in motion says it all. There is no higher praise... t

Late to the party here, and I agree with the consensus; well done, great chorus! Button tight ending on this one. Much enjoyed. ?'s ?

Very nice Mark. Left a like and comment over at SoundClick. Y'all could too ya know... t I'm bluetoothed into my new hearing-aids and adjusting to being able to hear the "top end" again! Consequently I'll hold off on any "technical" comments as I'm still "learning" where I'm at these days.

Great stuff here Peter. Really enjoyed it. Left my "like" and comments over at YouTube, noticed that some others had as well (y'all know who you are or are not on that one). t just a note: back on your Take Me Home thread I asked about the cymbals. I can hear them now, finally broke down and got some hearing-aids...

Ditto! t

Absolutely, and I am done comparing Sonar to 8.5. Scouts honor

Whoops missed that. Problem Reporter!

Did you buy the Backstage Pass? You cannot “save”, if you don’t activate. If you are on the “pass” I don’t have a clue. I haven’t had any issues in the limited time I’ve used Sonar. There’s a problem reporter in the help menu; IIRC t

Other than “the earth is flat” UI. what the hey, I worked just fine in 8.5 t

Liked, commented, etcetera… tried to tip, but my iPhone Apple ID is always a major PITA. Maybe because I’m a PC kinda guy? t

For me the lyrics tend to write the melody. this is invariably how I work with my principal collaborator. He generally has a riff and the basic chord structure. But he knows better than to attempt to “sing” the lyrics we are starting with. He has zero sense of “meter” and canNOT carry a tune. My own stuff I think I approach the same way. Often the “germ” of the song is a lyric/melody combo from the beginning. Often that sets up, or a least starts, the chord structure. I can’t think of a single time I’ve had the chords and melody done without some of lyrics present. (could this be why I am not a successful songwriter? Heavens no!) t

Loves me some shrimp gumbo!!

Yikes! I feel for you, as all here do. t my studio is still in WA, scheduled to move to my new digs in CA in the next two weeks. This raises my anxiety level several notches. @smallstonefan in my experience the “left” coast gets a “bad rap”. Enjoy your new digs in OR.

That’s what the Celestion Speaker Shaper is for. Guitar >amp>speakers. Each and every component is vital. let’s not even add the player to mix… t

Why are we not surprised…

I’m in the dark here. What is a moon muffin? t shame on me for asking, but if I visit their site it would probably end up with me buying something I don’t need and won’t use. ?

Originally I asked: "So is the Sonar “price of admission” the BandLab membership? If so I’ll convert my “3 days free” to a yearly membership." What I meant to imply there was; I am perfectly happy paying $150 a year for Sonar. What I should have asked is: Will one option to using Sonar be the BandLab Backstage Pass? Noel answered this: "If you want to start using Sonar right away, backstage pass (which includes both Sonar, Next as well as other bandlab perks) is the only available option right now. There are plans for other purchase options but there isn't a known timeline just yet." Admittedly he does affirm or imply that Backstage Pass will ALWAYS include the use of Sonar or Next pwal said: "don't forget it's up to bandlab, not the bakers" to which msmcleod answered: "Thanks for pointing that out... I think people forget this!" Unless I "missed" something that's it in a nutshell. Hillmy is correct in that nowhere on CakeWalk.com is it stated Backstage Pass will always include the use of Sonar and Next. While I lean toward agreeing with Will: "Those who purchace a Backstage Pass gets an Early Access membership. This means that if you own a Backstage Pass you have the privilledge of getting the full DAW including new releases and updates before the general Public!" Only time will tell... Larry Jones has the "best" answer: "Unless you are an executive at Bandlab, you don't know this for a fact, and you are just speculating." so Bristol should have the last word... t

Yes indeed, but it’s the “looking glass”! ”Go ask Alice, I think she’ll know” The Axe, in all its many iterations, is an amazing tool. I believe that, heart and soul. It just didn’t fit my workflow. @Scott dig into the forum, you’ll get your head wrapped around it… t I went from FXII to the Strymon Iridium, now I’m riding the ToneX… ” I cain’t never be satisfied”

I have that, it’s called Sonar 8.5 IIRC. Meaning I own it and I have all the necessary “serial” and “key” to install and run it. Do I? Really? ?‍♂️ t

I would do a "reset" to factory presets. Again, its detailed on the user forum. As Greg said above, hit the forum... Frankly I sold mine because the editing was so "deep" I could get lost in the thing and thus get no real work done. t

What do you hear in the headphone output on the FXII? t
