The simplest things played in time sound a thousand times better than the most complex things played out of time! Bill

Thanks Bjorn, you're no slouch either, I check your material out as well...I'm just not much of a poster! Bill

Thanks, that was a quick Sound Forge "master" from an exported two-track. Still have to finish writing, recording...maybe mix it, etc. Bill

Well done...you did more than "phone" this one in Bill

That's no alternative rock, that's a space station! Metal fusion at it's best, a joy to listen to! Bill

Nice chugging...chunky...just like I like it! Bill

Great cover, well done! The video work was entertaining and really complimented the song...keep making them like this Bill

Sounds fine here! Clear and present Bill

In classical music the term for playing "free" within the time signature is referred to as rubato...I use it a lot in my solo playing, not always effectively! ;) Unless you are in a band recording situation choosing not to use a click is madness, doesn't mean you have to be robotic but you have a reference point to keep you "in the lines". I had a friend send me a recording he wanted me to "orchestrate"...they didn't use a click when recording so the timing is all over the place...a real mess to try and match, I told him my ESP isn't working like it used to...next time use a click! I'm a one-man -writing, playing, recording, mixing and mastering- band and a click track is a must...but I'm naturally off-time anyways ;) Bill

Here's something I started today...don't expect too much yet ;) Calling it For Never and Ever for now...Day 1 refers to this is day 1 of writing and recording! For Never and Ever(Day 1) Bill

Thanks Tom Bill

TechnoNewAgeJazz...very cool mix of styles! The piano really elevates this, I enjoy your work Bill

Thanks Bob! I'm a "hoarder" so this goes into the pile for now...working on a new album and I like to gather lots of material to pick through...with a little work this might be a keeper I actually had the guitars more forward but it was too much...I'll revisit that because I like the idea of emphasizing them...and the drums are low so they don't stand out too much right now Bill

Tight! I like me some good crunchy guitars! Vocals have a good "space" and the song itself has a nice hook, well done :) Bill

Yup, 'fraid so ? This is something I started last weekend. It's rough...distorted guitars need work(maybe re-recording), drum parts need to be actually written, needs a couple of synth solos...etc. Well anyway, it's called Transmission...receive at your own risk! Transmission Bill

You may have to got to the soundforge.exe, right-click and check run as administrator. Bill

No need for a third party translator...open your sf2 in Kontakt, then save and it creates an .nki instrument :) Bill

Creativity is something you either have or don't to varying degrees. If you're creative you just have to learn the language and tools, if you're not creative no one can tell you how to be. If you want to work with music learn it...take lessons...piano, flute, guitar...learn some notation...study the fundamentals- chords, keys, scales, modes, etc. Then listen to your inner voice and speak :) Bill

An operating system that changes your settings, deletes drivers, changes your Machine ID, etc. seems close to my definition of a virus I'm running Win7 Ultimate on my DAW and Win10 Pro on a laptop...my Win7 is definitely more stable. At some point(maybe next year) I want to build a new Daw...I'll go with Win10 Pro but I hope Microsoft fixes things first. As far as I'm concerned it's Microsoft's OS but my hardware and software! Bill

I created my own Lens called Default and it opens every project the way I want the GUI setup. I've never used screensets, can't really see a use for them. But to be fair I'm only recording in Cakewalk...my mixing is done in Mixbus and mastering done in Sound Forge. I'd just as soon be able to get rid of the Multidock and Browser, I have 3 monitors...lots of room for stuff Bill

Eugene, you're right! This just puts it in front of people who wouldn't know about HitFilm otherwise :) Bill

I started using the Gran Vista Black & Blue 100 recently, really enjoying it! Not a big fan of flat color schemes. Bill
