Beagle

I was not renaming the workspace, so that may be the issue.  I have always had "Apply Workspace on Project Load" checked.

I will try naming it something different and see what happens the next time I get an update.

thanks for the help!

Hey guys, yep, sock monkey, it's me!

haven't been around much in a long time!  yes, I did kinda rant and didn't return for a while, sorry about that...

yes, to everyone who responded, I am using CbB, I did not move to the paid version.   and so with that I realize NOW that I've posted this in the wrong forum!  I should have posted in CbB.

but every time I get an update, my CB resets to the top of the screen and then I have to resave a new default workspace with my CB at the bottom and with "ALL" on the controls seen and a few other custom settings I like.

if you're saying that I have to buy Sonar 2024 in order to stop that behavior, then I'm not really interested in that at this time.  that would suck if I had to pay for that behavior.

I don't understand why it's important to reset my workspace to default on every release.

I like having my control bar at the bottom of the screen and EVERY SINGLE TIME that a new release is downloaded and installed, I have to open a project and SAVE the workspace AGAIN.

PLEASE STOP resetting my workspace every time I install an update!

Hey daryk me ol mate and bapu!!!!!

this is really nice!  the intro really grabbed me right away.  great, catchy chorus.  bridge was quite different...

always love your voice mate.  

always love the bapster's bazz

great stuff!

Hi all!  here's a remake of a song I wrote a few years ago.  I wrote the song as a tribute to a friend who had lost his life due to depression and addiction.  some of the folks of this forum helped me on the original and some of you may remember the original version.

thanks for listening!  critiques are welcome!

Lead Vox, drum programming, B3, mixing: Reece Beagle Bain
Rhythm Guitar, Bass, BGVs: Michael Hanson

Great mix on this. Sounded good for this genre.  Not sure if this is just me but I keep wanting it to go just a little bit faster. It's probably me. 

Thanks for sharing. Nice work.

 

Thanks Tim!  I always struggle with tempo.  did I do it too fast?  too slow?  IDK.  if we ever redo this one I'll consider a faster version!  thanks

Great catchy chorus, loved all instuments

Appreciate it Paul!

Really great Paul!  production is top notch on this!  loved the guitars  great work!

Hey Kenny!  this is just great!  toe tappin' fun!  loved the guitars - awesome playing as usual!

Hey Bjorn, this is really good!  I've tried using Z3TA+ before but never could get it to sound like I wanted it.  you've done a great job with it here!

Really nice Tim!  loved it!

Hey Rich! great song!  love your daughter's harmonies!
 

Hey Jack, good song

I agree with my friends above, keep at it, it's a learning process and you have potential!

Very nice, John! it was too short, tho!

Hey Doug, love the guitar fills on this.  chorus is really good.

thanks for sharing.

Hey Tim - this is really great!  I love the guitar and flute and really nice instrumentation.

if I could critique a little, though, your vocals sound "distant" - as if you were singing too far away from the mic.  

the sound of your voice is great, you have a good voice - but the recording of your vocals is very different from the instrumentation.  they sound like 2 completely different things that have been put together.  

Great job Tim!

This is a good one.  Nice to hear higher, alto and soprano harmonies.  

Thanks so much David!

yeah, I love having the ladies sing with us, but it makes mixing a lot harder! lol!

This is a wonderful and uplifting song.  Kudos to all on a job well done.  My headset is a bargain basement variety and all sounds good.  However, on my set the lead vox was a bit low especially near the beginning.

Thanks so much Freddy!  I'll look into the levels on the lead vox.  appreciate it!

Nice mix there Beags. Sounds good on the Sennheiser HD600s.

Thanks Bapsi!  appreciate it my friend!

Michael, your inner Bon Jovi is coming through in your voice.  This is a fine production and song, and I believe that it reflects the growth I've been hearing from you guys over the last few years.  Well done!

Ha!  that's a cool compliment Lynn!  I wish I could sound like Bon!

Mix comes across well here on the Adam's Reece. Can not possible comment on the lyrical content.

Thanks Wook my friend!  I appreciate the feedback!

It's a good song and I enjoyed the listen.  I thought the mix was excellent - sounded quite good through my headphones - plenty of depth and separation of all the instruments. The drums were just right.

Nice job on the lead vocal as well - there's a bit of soul in the performance - well done.

Thanks so much Douglas!  appreciate the great review!

I listened thru headphones. I don't always trust my aging ears to make comments but anyway...
Overall a very good production with an engaging melody.  The strong lead voc is impressive but the lyrics seemed to get drowned out in places  eg ~1:15 (however that could just be me.) 

-Bjorn

Thanks so much, Bjorn!  I had a really hard time mixing the vocals with the extra voices.  I'll look into your suggestion, thanks so much!

Hey everyone!  this one's about to fall off the page without any comments...is it that bad???

Hey Daryk me ol' mucker!  LOVE it!  as always, love your stuff!  Bapu's ok too!

and Mesh!  awesome!
