    Thanks Man - really appreciate your feedback.

    Thanks! I think I have Paul McCartney syndrome! LOL

    I just wanted to weigh in here. I have hated audio snap since it was first implemented. It has never worked correctly for me and the interface is abysmal. These are just my opinions, perhaps the fault is mine for not working harder at it - but you shouldn't have to. From the buttons you cannot tell whether they are on or not, to the poorly named functions, to the substandard results you get. Perhaps it is partly my fault for not spending hundreds of hours with it, but as far as I am concerned it is much easier to just try to play things right or close to right from the beginning, and then make the small corrections in other ways. (This screed is based on how audio snap was up to 2020. I haven't used it since. It drives me totally out of my mind and I won't suffer with it any more.

    Here is a video for a song of mine called Good Night, Chet. It's a quick trip through the last century, some defining moments from the 30s to the 80s. https://baselines.com/?p=5867

    Very cool. One thing I hear regarding this version, and it may be totally against what you try for, but I hear it in my head with no vocal effects. I hear it raw, like maybe Johnny Cash or Kris Kristofferson....along with overwhelming effects free acoustic. I think this song is good enough to stand on its own without the effects. I like it, don't get me wrong...I just hear it differently.

    This is great - I love the throwback organ tone and the harmonies. You got up there in range at the end - I could picture Mickey Dolenz clearly. Guitars are great and drum panning was very cool.

    It was such a surprise! I was watching the video feed inside as it happened and couldn't believe it. He had to make a conscious effort to knock that camera over. I've had Robins dive bomb me in the past if they thought I was a threat.

    Yeah, it is great to see the blue eggs all of a sudden spring to life. Thanks for sharing your comments, I enjoyed reading them. I did manage to get a picture before they hatched.

    Thanks Nigel - I appreciate the feedback!

    Thank you very much. One thing I try to do is make something interesting and different all the way through rather than just repeat the same thing over and over. Sometimes I succeed and sometimes I fail ?

    Thank you for listening and the feedback!

    Thank you! Yes, the song wasn't long enough for the video so I had to improvise. That's why there is some reverse stuff in there!

    LOL Mark, so true! I can remember trying to learn it way back in 70-71 timeframe. Over the years I've changed hand positions a few times. In my neck of the woods, coyotes roam the streets at night, and I've seen foxes, fisher cats, turkeys and deer. We live in a development that is sandwiched between small patches of woods and then a golf course. On one side of us through the woods there is a farm. On a couple of occasions, some cows got loose and while we were walking the dog at night, we could hear mooing from the woods. I've caught skunks, possums, chipmunks and squirrels in the back yard in the past, but it is pretty quiet now, except for all of the rabbits that are always around.

    Thanks Wookiee! I sometimes think birds have more sense than humans ?

    My son helped me set up his video server at home and connect it to use my phone as a camera. In my back yard, a robin built a nest under my picnic table. I set up the phone to capture the videos that you can see below. I included my version of Blackbird as the music accompaniment. It wasn’t long enough, so I added in a reversed section in the middle to space it out. You can see close to the end that one of the robins was none too happy with the phone capturing his actions. He gives it the evil eye and then flies into it. Today, the nest is empty and the young ones are flying around.

    Hi Andy - thank you. You know, when I sit down with my guitar, that is one of the songs I play, but I haven't quite got all of the chords right yet, and I could never get close enough to McCartney's voice to sing it I don't think. Maybe I'll give it a try at some point though!

    Thanks Freddy - loved your comment!

    Hi Lynn - thank you for listening and commenting on it! Steve

    Thanks Bjorn. It did take a lot of time and research to get it right. It's one of my favorites off of one of my favorite Beatles albums. Steve

    Thanks Jim - I appreciate your comment!

    Those are all built into Nectar - I also sometimes send the vocals to reel adt (waves) but just a little bit. And sometimes I use Vocal Rider (Waves) to even things out if needed.

    Thank you!

    Thank you! - been awhile, hope you are doing well!

    Hi Jack - thanks. For the vocals, I used Nectar 3 - and since I am not a great singer, I used Melodyne on some portions. There are 18 total tracks of vocals, 9 for me and 9 for @kiwichrys. Of those nine, there are three for each part (John, Paul and George). It took some work with Melodyne to line them all up closely.

    Thanks Mark - I'm going to go back and maybe make some adjustments to the low voices.
