There won't be anybody left soon ? I liked the Specials back in the day - RIP Terry

Hi - wow thanks for that, really appreciated Cheers Nigel

Tom I have used something like this in the past - it does help with fluctuating current (i have a similar issue) - you have to make sure the UPS is line interactive, not just a standard UPS https://www.amazon.com/APC-Interactive-BVK750M2-Charging-Uninterruptible/dp/B0B3F7Z3CL/ref=sr_1_4?crid=29UPHJDHY20DO&keywords=A%2Bline%2Binteractive%2BUPS&qid=1671368984&sprefix=a%2Bline%2Binteractive%2Bups%2B%2Caps%2C638&sr=8-4&th=1 I also use furman conditioners - belt and braces!! https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/M8x2--furman-m-8x2-power-conditioner Nigel

Hi thanks for that, really appreciated cheers Nigel

hi Steve Never seen the episode but i liked the music -i was getting a definite Steely Dan vibe coming through! Cool Nigel

Hi Dave I like this - i think it really has potential. i'd keep working on the vocals as this would turn it into a really good track, i feel Nigel

some nice playing in this and a good groove - got a definite 80's vibe to it cool Nigel

HI Tim I like this, some good synth work going on here!!!! cool stuff indeed Nigel

I think Mark's comments are spot on - with a bit of a remix you've got a good track here cool Nigel

All good whilst he likes you...but remember HAL in 2001?

Hi - thanks for the great comments - glad you liked the guitars in the chorus- recorded those quite a few times with different cominations of amps until I thought it was right! Nigel

Hi Ron - really appreciate that - thanks for taking the time to comment Cheers Nigel

HI Kevin I like this, very Tangerine Dream . Klaus Schultz Cool Nigel

Kopa Thanks - interesting your comment re Pulse - I did not do that so if I do decide to try and get them to work, I will do as you suggest Cheers NIgel

Thanks, really appreciate this. I shall give up - really its not worth the effort!! Nigel

Hi Guys I purchased ARCA Mandala 1 a few months ago via a deal. I could never get it to work so waited for Mandala 2 to be released. I have now loaded up Mandala 2 with ARCA and the free Rasa via the Pulse downloader. It scans and loads in Cakewalk - I can then insert it in a project, but no matter what I do (like uninstalling / reinstalling) and no matter what settings I use in Cakewalk, I can get no sound out of it. Has anyone got Mandala 2 working in Cakewalk? Thanks Nigel

Seriously ?

Hi Wookie This sounds great , I really like this. A question - why did you use both GForce MTPro and Arturia Mellotron? Cool stuff my friend Nigel

your compositions always sound like they are the originals for the videos!! - very good indeed Nigel

Cool track - he has a very nice voice and I like his phrasing in this Nigel

Hi Mark - really appreciate the kind commenmts Cheers Nigel

Hi Steve - thanks for this and the good wishes for the success of the album - it seems to be going really well at the moment - so thanks again for the kind thoughts Cheers Nigel

No not at all - I was just saying my comment about the chorus getting harsh at 52 seconds was wrong!! As I said I like the track - think my comments re Ozone is still valid - I always find it over limits and in the new version, the new module(which I can't remember what it's called at the moment) does seem to add a lot of top end, which can lead to some harshness - however still playing with that so perhaps some more experience with it will bring better results

Hi Ignore my 52 secs comment - i was listening to the wrong track! sorry about that Nigel
