  1. Well, the original reason for this thread was a few of my projects got messed up by this VSTi switch out issue . . . seems like Cakewalk has found a fix for it recently, and I really only had it happen a small number of times, hard to find the reproducible steps, and a few others here concurred . . . so, it's great Cakewalk has addressed it , so I don't expect see that bug's ugly face ever again hopefully !
  2. Yes Bob . . . It's a great suggestion, I sometimes forget you can do that to get your latency back to a playable level, with a complex mix already in place. Mostly, it's the look ahead plugins that cause problems at lower ASIO buffer settings, causing cracking sounds . . . but yeah, turn off all the "stuff" and you can record live parts in again, just have to live with the rawness of the mix for a bit . . . and not forget to turn the "stuff" back on

    Hey Bjorn . . . so beautiful, strange how a desolate place can be so inspiring . . . perhaps it's the absolute silence, and stalling of time, which you've really captured in this piece. I like that the drums are mixed back with some subtle bass traveling along with it, keeping the ambiance upfront. Myself, I would have used some hand drums for something like this, but the way you mixed this really works for me anyways.

    Hi Maake . . . a very enjoyable listen, nostalgic in many ways . . . I'm in Canada, so for me it sounds reminiscent of Chris Isaak or Blue Rodeo, but your own unique twist of course. A very well played guitar in any case.
  5. Ludwig . . . obviously, something you edited in a previous session goes against the rules of the programming . . . interesting that they warn you about the knowledge of the problem, that certainly shows a high level of programming integrity, to even put that pop up in there. I've used Melodyne for many years and have never seen this message. Please report back here on any findings from Celemony support, I've always found their support to be very responsive.
  6. Well Tom . . . at first, I listened to just the music on my iPhone and found it very introspective, lots of depth, and your piano playing always shines through it all, especially in the last part of this . . . Then, I listened on larger speakers while watching the video, and found the comedy and the humanity very refreshing . . . the aah vocal pads take on a new meaning visually. The fire scene in the middle reminded me that there is always a tragedy occurring somewhere . . . putting it all in perspective . . . then back to the humanity, and you introduce animals more prominently which makes it more global than just human. I think you have a lot to say, and I like the way you say it. For mixing, I think if the bottom end became more prominent at the apex of this piece it would soar even higher (on larger speakers . . . or in the cinema!) . . . as always, WTF will he come up with next ?
  7. Such a brilliant song and recording, kudos to all involved with this, because it really comes across as a total team effort . . . Aimee's vocals are superb. I like that it is upbeat, yet somewhat dark (lyrically) all at the same time. The casting of the guitar and the violin add such depth to the overall idea, well arranged I think. It's such an emotional journey as presented, most inspiring. Thank you.
  8. Very cool tune . . . reminds me a lot of a band called "The Band" with Levon Helm on vocals. Also, really appreciated the interesting chord progressions. Very professional sound, and mix . . . goin' back around now for another listen . . . thanks for posting this.

    Hi, and thanks for the comments @David Sprouse . . . thanks, means a lot to a songwriter @ DeeringAmps . . . thanking you . . . if life were just an illusion, we might all be a bit deluded, right ?

    Spirit Wind

    . . . just a simple song to stir the debate, regarding if there's anything really there when we look deep inside ourselves . . . oh, and any mixing tips and comments are always welcome :0
  11. "Boy meets girl. Girl likes to dance! Then Grandpa warns them about dictatorship." . . . absolutely hilarious . . . so well recorded and thought out. If this is "revisited" . . . well, I never heard the original, so it all sounds just new and fresh to me, with that old time analog bass thing of course. Is there a DX7 sound in there, or is that just me showing my age ? Now . . . I'm from Canada, should the subject matter have some significance I don't know about ? Anyways Tom, why aren't you famous with great stuff like this . . . maybe you are and I just don't know about it. The mix is top shelf, in my opinion, as per all your stuff.
  12. Nicely done . . . yes, bittersweet lyrics, and those silent breaks in the 3rd verse are effective. (Now I want to try that, lol) I especially like the mellow lead guitar sound which suits the piece very well. The vocals are well recorded, and I like how they are wide in the mix, you never lose them as a listener. Also, from a songwriting point of view, you could easily have just faded out on a chorus . . . but you changed it up with some unanticipated interest . . . enough, that I knew it was ending, but a touch of unpredictable, nice.
  13. batsbrew . . . it's a beauty, I enjoyed the guitar work and vocals on this very much.
  14. Yes a great listen on a Friday night, amazing , thank you . . . I had to laugh when JohnBee58 and David Sprouse said Boz Scaggs, because it is so reminiscent of that sound, but never thought it until it was mentioned . . . so much talent in the guitar work in all your songs I've heard here.

    UP TO SKY

    Hi everyone . . . you may recall I posted this song earlier this month, and was having trouble with the Hi Hat sitting in the mix right, well, thanks to some great suggestions here I've upload a new mix with a totally redone Hi Hat, different hat, panned closer to center, some open hat additions, no breaks between sections, and a few other mix tweaks. Thanks to all who listened and commented, it is greatly appreciated.
  17. Hidden Symmetry . . . some very beautiful things here, jazzy and worldly, lots of spicy guitar work ! I haven't spent much time looking at BandLab's music posting site, but I like the link you've sent, a little more flexible than some of the other music posting sites ? Albums feature . . . hmmm
  18. Yes ! . . . Allan, really liked this listen . . and I totally relate to the subject content, and I also hear some Beatles in there, many of us here grew up listening to that.

    Ok freddy j . . . 2 people "inspired" . . . thanks you so very much, it really helps me to keep doing this.

    Paul, thank you for saying that, it means a lot to me.

    Thank you Old Joad . . . yes, I'm a tenor, but those high notes are getting harder, if you know what I mean.

    UP TO SKY

    Thanks DeeringAmps, good to know, that's what I was hoping . . . on my small speakers it sounds OK, in my "car" listen and studio speakers the Hi Hat seems way too much. I'm tempted to put some more room sound on the Hi Hat, but something tells me that's a good way to wreck a mix. Glad you liked the song.
  24. Hey this is nicely done ! I kind of picture this as a Rock Musical Theater piece with all the different voices swirling about . . . also because the Ken Nilsen lead vocals are so theatric. Love the melodic electric guitar solo, and all the orchestral sounds throughout.
