Don’t know which era was worse; Henry or Norlin... t

Always have loved me some Top; sad day indeed. t

They most certainly were NOT directed at you. t hope your wife is doing well and wish her a full recovery. I have some experience at being the caregiver; two knees and a kidney. All three with outstanding results.

Just when my caffeine and sugar levels were sagging you gave me the boost I needed Bats. tough “Room” lately, 7 days on the forum and nary a review? come on guys, show a brother some love! t

Jerry rocks Pokey & Gumby. Cool stuff! t

I love the sound of mark skinner in the morning. I’m chained to my embroidery machines here in OKC, it’s “crunch” time, and this certainly settled my nerves and started the day off right. always a fan... t

I think you hit the mark freddy! t 20 hours on the forum, 26 views, 1 review? shame on us, my excuse; on the road. what’s yours?

If your guitar player has a favorite drive pedal I suspect he’ll prefer the “vintage” channel. The “hot rod” deluxes have never given me “chills” with the drive or more drive channels. I’d jump right in when it arrives, he’ll be fine. t

I’m in OKC, vaccinated I’m back on the road.

?'s Doug! Always enjoy me some Kirby... Have I asked this before? just got back from Nampa, ID; the pic on SC looks a lot like downtown... t liked Drifter a lot too!

Always look forward to hearing more freddyJ! You never fail to deliver Freddy. t some good suggestions above on the mix/effects, but don't stress or linger too long. Print it and move on...

?'s t I've given up tryin' to get the gang to like/comment/share at YouTube... I'm out of energy on that front, sorry Nigel

Tracking analog, mixing plugins. I recently sold off all but my LA-610 (go to for Vocals and Bass). I just wasn’t using anything else. Bare in mind that I don’t do drums, heavily driven guitars are compressed by the amp. Half or more of the time I’m using virtual amps anyway. HTH t

I'm so far behind, I need this "all places at once"; so a big thanks for that Wooks! ya saved me.... t

More great storytelling Barry. Love the tone on the solos. t

While not exactly my genre, these do NOT appear to be "pedestrian". Pretty sure with a bit of judicious cut/paste, they could add flavor to any genre... I going to be honest, I haven't bonded with EZB in the way I thought I might. I will admit I have NOT gone "down the rabbit hole" like I have with EZD, EZK and SD2/3. Maybe I'm missing something? or maybe not? ? t

These are MIDI packs (not audio loops) and are quite "pedestrian". Read that as I was underwhelmed.... t

Not a question of the amount of verb, but what "space" all the instruments are in. When each element of the mix has its own verb (hence the question "baked in") the mix doesn't "feel" glued together. Of course its common practice to over do it on the vocal track, its the main "focus" of the song. Guitarists are often prone to that big "arena" verb and delay as well; in a rock setting the guitars are another "focal" point of the tune. its a "minor" thing really, but it is what separates a "home studio" mix from a "pro" mix. its what we shoot for (the pro mix) if I was good at it, I'd be too busy mixing to enjoy life here on the forum... ? t

Nicely done! Breath of fresh air. t who is Lyz Evans

That's why I said The song is 5:45 long, its too long. But; its your tune, your production. I'd put the harp solo after the first guitar solo, then verse, bridge verse, fade to "black"; maybe repeating "sneakin' up on the blues". I mention "song is too long" frequently on the forum, and I get the same Artist's Perspective every time, "I like it like that!" Its a great tune, much enjoyed, but you did ask for "opinions"; everyone's got "one". ? ? t "When I get an actual record company breathing down my neck" @Barry Seymour just serving as your Uncles Ahmet, Jerry, David, and Clive here Barry, its my job... And I forgot to add, you are hardly just a "Poser", so the jig is decidedly NOT up!

This is what I'm seeing with the UFX+ via USB3 and the Thunderbolt EX3 USB port t

As always, great stuff freddy! ?'s t I don't know which is worse; earthquakes, tornadoes or hurricanes; at least with hurricanes you get some warning. maybe that's worse? btw, loved Bad Rumour!

At 5:45 I think I'd put the harp solo and first guitar solo back to back and fade on out sooner. Your tune, your production. I love me some harp so I'm going to disagree with Kurt, but hey, reasonable people can reasonably disagree. t print it Barry, bring us another

Interesting piece John (I can see what Jesse said about "experimental" at the 4:00 mark). Interesting melody; I'm a bit more traditional when it comes to meter and rhyme. But I've read and enjoyed plenty of poetry that "defied" traditional rhyme and meter. A word on the bass, Trilian, especially in the upper registers (for me at least), tends to get "funky" when hit hard with the velocities, that initial "hard" attack, kind of makes it "stand out" too much. That's what I think I'm hearing as far as the "volume" of the bass track. Not as "dark" as some of your recent stuff, thats a good thing from my point of view (especially given the times in which we live). ? from me t The verb on the strings, is that "baked" into the patches you used? A little bit of "are we all in the same space?" on the mix.
