And that answers all your concerns and questions concerning "value", doesn't it? t

MODO Bass for $69.99 $77.06 (sales tax!) with Whammy Jammy points! Just sayin'... t

No, this is a no-brainer! YEP! t

Classic Freddy J. I loves it! ?'s ? t

?'s (I'll hold the ? for the final mix) Yes, we are all locust, consuming all we encounter. Only crit; "it seems as if we're walking to the long dark night" I would make that one long phrase, just as it is written; your song, your production. t

There is that, exorcising some pain here John? The flute is very good, is the verb on that native to the VSTi? Good bass lines, as usual John; ?'s. t

Just this one project is troublesome? My “old” StudioCat is 16 gigs and I’ve never “swamped” the memory, but mostly EZD (or SD3) EZK, and Trilian, (or EZB or ModoBass) are the main VSTi’s (IK’s Hammond as well) my workflow dictates that I do some freezing to keep latency to a minimum. Freezing, bouncing a two track mix (then archive the raw tracks), were common practice before I got the first Cat. If this is the only project with issues I would rebuild it from scratch and see what happens (save a backup copy to the external drive) If it continues to be “problematic” or later becomes problematic work the external project (from the external drive) to see if it’s specific to the SSD. In the meantime, get some diagnostics from Dell and check the m.2 for errors. Drives do “die”. How full is the internal SSD? t

What VST’s are in that session? Bypass all VST (keystroke “e”) then turn Trilian back on (e should bypass VSTi as well) can you save safely then? Its just this one project that is problematic? I’ve never had a corrupt project, but it happens. Less than 16 gigs? t

Sounds like an m.2 SSD. Type of drive is irrelevant. What we need to know is if the drive itself is “healthy”. Save the current project to your external drive (rename it “project-ext”) Run both at the same time. Do a few edits, then save. Do the same on the external drive; save. Repeat until you get a crash. If both can cause a crash the problem is the project, or more likely a VST. Like Dave, I’d be surprised if Trilian is the root cause. I would want to test the SSD just as John suggested. In my opinion (experience) “best practice” requires three drives. OS, Project, and Samples. I have a laptop I can run CbB on (it’s a single drive) but it’s pitiful and I rarely have the patience to use it. I realize that your Dell is likely 100 times the machine that laptop is, but a single drive? No, three drives minimum in a modern DAW; sorry but anything less, ?‍♂️. Last question: how full is the drive? t

Yes, absolutely! I think the pics made the story line much more relevant! Especially loved the shots of Harry's shop. (kind of surprised this has "fallen thru the cracks", but often folks skip titles they have already commented on...) And just a note; listened in the van, and that hypes the low mids and bass. Sounded pretty good in the van (read that as "passed" the van test, if a tune is "muddy" in the low end the van really brings it out). ?'s ? t

Always enjoy hearing forum collaborations. So a big ?s and ? to you both! t

Liked the demo, ? ‘s on the single t

Listening in the van today, this is by far the best balanced mix yet. (The low mids and bass are always problematic in the van, this one passes the “van test”) Another excellent video Nigel ?? t

Mostly I’m glad I can’t remember what I wrote in ‘67 ? This is great Barry! t

Listening in the van today, and it hypes the bass and low mids. You’ve got a bass guitar and synth bass going? What I’m hearing as the bass guitar sounds really good. I’d bring the vocal up; based on what I’m hearing in the van. ?‘s t

What about a thumb drive? Create a simple project and save to the thumb drive. Make a few edits; will it save normally? Add Trilian, will it save normally? OS, Samples, and projects are all on one drive?

What happens if you move the project to a different drive? I would want to be sure that my audio drive isn’t having issues. Just a thought… t

We’ll there is that…

Remember, a strat has the pickup mounted in the pickguard and the pickup extends up from there. Given the price point, I'd buy one and see if it "works". But that's just me... t

Try here mLaval guitar parts Here's a link to the Lindy Fralin noise canceling single coils t

Yeah, me too! ditto Yes, and the budgie and parrotlet suffered no ill effects here! ?'s ? t

When installing from their Program Manager, I do believe it prompts you to then install the “library”. Install EZD. Open it and select the “setup “ tab. It will let you set the “path” to the samples on your D drive. SD will do the same. HTH, t

Duncan and Lollar both make humbucking sized single coils. There are inserts for putting a Fender style single coil into a humbucker ring. I have a set of Fralin noiseless pickups that I’m pretty happy with. It’s a “blade” style pickup. HTH, t

@aidan o driscoll admittedly there is not enough collaboration on the songs forum. But one more subsection on the forum would seem to me to be a “fool’s errand”. Just my nickel98 there… t

Martin Sharp wrote that one. Clapton used the same basic chord progression as White Room, that he credited to “Summer in the City” IIRC (it was the late sixties) t
