  1. This one "grooves" Jack; nice! t
  2. Star light, star bright whoops! the lights went out there at the end t
  3. TTS-1 Piano 1 has always worked well for me in a "busy" rock mix. Always add a little of the kick from the Standard Set when using EZDrummer to put in a little "umph". I too have had occasional "issues" adding TTS-1 to existing projects. Looks like the "fix" is to add TTS-1 to your project template; my thanks to @msmcleodfor that tip. t
  4. Rex, I think it’s time to contact Jim Roseberry at Studio Cat. Whatever he charges for consulting will be a pittance compared to the frustration you’ve suffered. Clearly, there is a problem unique to your system. Feel for you man, especially since I was one who strongly recommended RME. t ✌️
  5. I renew every November for $99, seems to be on BF sale every year. This deal is $104.88. Just sayin'... t
  6. I was having zero, I repeat ZERO, issues with EZD3.0. 3.02 updated flawlessly and EZD3 continues to work perfectly. t Off topic, but related: The fix made for Cakewalk specifically speaks volumes about ToonTrack, and should eliminate any doubt that CbB is not taken seriously by the "industry"...
  7. RME Babyface Pro? Top $ for the 2 in “class”, but comes with RME drivers. It’s all about drivers, drivers, drivers… t
  8. Well crafted, I liked this a lot. Lot of verb on the first section (not a crit), and you handled the "tails" very well (meaning it didn't become a jumbled mess). That contrasts a bit too much, IMHO, with the second section, but: your tune, your production. If was mixing this, I'd pull that distorted bass down a bit (or a lot). Again, IMHO, its dominating the mix, it should "support" the mix (again, IMHO). High marks on all the performances, so ?'s! t
  9. I've had no issues (yet?) with EZD 3. Typically I am dropping EZKeys into EZBass; but I have used Bandmate to "start" some drum tracks. I'm working to get a little more "click" in the kick (I like a little "beater" to better define the kick; I have the Pop/Rock kick pretty well "dialed in" in EZD2, but there's too much bleed if I sub it into the EZD 3 kit). Also, the snare has a bit (maybe more than a bit) of "ring" to it than I like. Toon seems to love the "ringy" snares. To my ear the snare should "crack" (like a horsehide ball coming off of a Louisville Slugger), not a "doink" (like a rubber coated ball coming off an aluminum bat). Maybe a bad explanation, but I hope you (vous) get my meaning... Not really, I think the whole track; I think I could whip up a "heavy" rhythm track muy pronto; then a solo lead (with a little effort). Maybe even a run at the vox... t
  10. Interesting stuff with the synth vocals. Looks like you used EZD 3 on this one? (Blood credited EZD 2) If I was singing Clouds I would do a little editing on the lyrics. Often the "prose" gets in the way of the "meter". I always end up striping lyrics from my collaborators work, reminding him "we're not writing War and Peace here." ?'s t Blood on the Sun is begging for some heavily distorted guitars.
  11. There ain't no success like failure, and failure ain't no success at all... Did I hear a little ELP at about the 0:17ish mark? t
  12. If I got the key right, the root is A minor? I would use just the I & V; A and E (basically an A "power" chord) over the Am Over the E chord the full triad is perfect. As to adding the 7th on the E, whatever sounds best over the vocal melody. On that A, since you're playing a triad, probably A E A; but maybe E A E. Again, whatever "feels" best over the melody. Love the tune... t
  13. So the (11 is it?) new synths are worth the price of admission? How about the updated synths, is there a "real" improvement? $34 and change with whammy jammy points, No-Brainer! t
  14. Shootie does a great job! Watch and learn.... t

    Yep Check, mate enjoyed t
  16. The Revolver album is maybe my all time Beatles fav. Always felt that Tomorrow Never Knows was the inspiration for Are You Experienced?. When doing something tedious, boring, repetitive; I just play TNK back in my head the whole time. Great job, ?'s t
  17. Much enjoyed here Keith! ?'s t Serious question; How do you keep your guitar and key chops up to snuff? My father tried to have me trained to play the piano, all I wanted to do was play guitar. I've always had to go back and edit my key performances, do you find yourself doing the same? TIA
  18. What am I missing guys? I pretty much filled up the Syntronic 2 eco system in the Epic Group Buy. At least I thought I did.... t
  19. I listened back to back, and 11 artifacts or not, the "remastwer" is better! As far as the reckoning being "wild", I do not have an opinion... t
  20. To be honest Larry, if we remove the notion that this is "reggae", I think you're fine. You've fleshed this out nicely. But "ambient" or not; I don't think this is going on the Wailers play list: sorry ?... t
  21. As always Freddy you've delivered the goods! Reminds me of Murphy's Law of Song Writing; "we write songs about people we don't know, doing things we've never done, in places we've never been" ?'s Now for my one little crit. The song is in A minor; right? Across the verse you're playing arpeggiated triads, that over the Am chord (correct me if I'm wrong) ends on the natural 3rd. If you're intent is to create some "tension", that's then "released", with the E arpeggio, all well and good. To my battered ears it jumps out like a sore thumb; and it hurts. t
  22. The low end isn’t translating here in the van. I’ll have another listen at home. t i’ll not comment on the abrupt ending ?
