Thank you for that info , I didn't know those sort of details about Scotland . I don't drink or do drugs anymore , but if I did , I would probably think this was a Unicorn looking to give me a nice wet sloppy Kiss . It seems I'm not alone , Take a good look at this girl in the pic and tell me if she sort of looks just like the girl in the video ? HHhhmm, either way, I think I would still want to kiss her after that Unicorn oopps I mean that Rhino gets done ... Kenny

Why did you give up your Studio ? If you want the coveted" Brown Guitar Sound " all you have to do is simply eat right before and after all your guitar practice sessions ? Kenny

I'm glad Starship Krupa took the time to list many of the synths and plugs from Mixcraft that can be used in other DAW's ... I was thinking about listing them myself since I use them in Cakewalk and other DAW's but then I got bogged down creating the list ? A couple of things , $29 dollars for the upgrade was for the days Acoustica were having their Black Friday sale ...I squeaked in at that price just by the skinny skin .... After playing around with it for a while I can say even if I had missed the sale it would have easily been worth the regular customer upgrade price ... For the record I have Mixcraft 7 Pro , 8 Pro and now 9 Pro and I can say I like 9 so much better than 7 & 8 ...it seems all the little touches and gradual improvements Acoustica has implemented over time has dialed this DAW into a rather sweet workflow . The Melodyne integration is so simple to use ...I still have essentials so on non polyphonic audio I love just double tapping an audio clip and having the option to convert the audio to a Melodyne Region . being able to switch back in forth in one window between the editor and Melodyne is a nice workflow ... Another thing I like is being able to right click on an audio file and have it converted over to a midi file on it own new track ...Love it ...so simple ...and precise . Even though I have a Polytune head stock tuner and plug , I like having the guitar tuner on my audio tracks . I don't play just guitar ( every time I save up to buy Kontak I wind up buying a real instrument instead) ?I got mando's ukes and a bunch of other wayward orphaned musical stringed instruments I have adopted and given a home to.. I already had the Voltage Cherry Audio synth n a much higher version than what comes w Mixcraft and honestly I have a long ways to go at programing it yet I can say sound wise this synth delivers it best and most where it counts ...the sound ... Anyway , I'm not gonna give a full on review on Mixcraft 9 Pro right now ....there are many other people that can pull it together and do that I will say this , I have started using Mixcraft again in addition to Cakewalk and I find this DAW to be a somewhat friendly relaxing environment to create music in .... all the best , Kenny

Notice the neck and head stock ...I bet that was Henry's personal urinal at Gibson Bad Kenny

Empty project latest version of Cakewalk When I open a Midi file as right click open with I get this type of arrangement .....then I will have to add my own Master Bus ... no biggie Kenny

? Your post got me thinking about the baby pictures Conan O Brian used to have on his show with all his fictitious celebrity couples .. Thanks for the kind word on my playing .....means a lot too me all the best, Kenny

Yes , now you can dock and undock things around to your taste . As far as the lack of midi preview goes I raised this issue with Acoustica in a thread at the old forum in 2017 Here's the answer I got http://forum.cakewalk.com/FindPost/3696612 BTW a lot of useful stuff was posted by all of us in that thread before I got PO ed a them ...the thread itself is a gold mine Kenny

Hey what about this for inspiration? This performer even gave me a lump in my throat when they cut loose near the end . Kenny

I love Session Drummer for its ability to play and create my own drum-sets from samples ?Session Drummer is so underrated when it comes to that ... Ultra Beat Samples sound Great when played in Session Drummer . I agree with you , Sitala , is also very good ...the newest updated version brings a lot more to the table ... overall it is a very good one in its own right and I use it a lot over here ..a couple of things in that Sitala video were new to me ..I had no idea the EQ worded the way it did for each pad .. all the best, Kenny

Hi Douglas , Thank you for the kind words you have said .I appreciate hearing them ? all the best, Kenny

Daryl , thank you for your understanding .? Kenny

Hi David , Your welcome ? Thanks for asking if I'm playing around town ...I did up until a few years ago ..mostly in SW Washington area ... Honestly I don't know the Portland area very well and I wouldn't even know where to start to get back out there ...any of the offers I have gotten were ridiculous Spend 2 weeks to learn 45 songs to play a one time only gig 2 hours away for 75 bucks ...Yeah right ? If you have any suggestions or feedback on something I may be able to do to get out there in our area I would love to hear what you have to say ..A PM would work good all the best, Kenny

This upgrade turns out to be one I am happy with . I like the new mixer for sure ... IMHO it looks better and it also has the added flexibility of having a reverb , a compressor and the drive baked into the interface. FWIW , Darker equals less cartoon looking and that works better for me ... I already had Voltage Modular Core which I happen to enjoy learning . I'm happy they included a version of Voltage for people as an add on ... I can say The Voltage sounds I have found so far sound a lot better than a good deal of synths I had picked up and purchased along the way in my synth Journey .. As a Guitar player this is A tough one to learn correctly ...a keyboard play will probably take to it like a duck to water . Also some of the new plugs sound pretty good ... This DAW offers a tremendous amount of Bang for the Buck ...I just wish they would offer the ability to preview midi files from the browser ... Kenny

Hi Daryl , I had a tremendous amount of fun while playing the guitar on this song ...Playing the guitar like that for me is a coping mechanism for keeping my sanity My life struggles can feel overwhelming and predictable so when I play a tune like this I'm trying to punch my way out of a paper bag so I can feel good again ? Oh BTW, sorry to take so long getting back here ...when I cant listen to other peoples songs and participate in the songs forum on a regular basis I feel guilty if I only comment on my tunes w out giving other peoples tunes a listen ...so having done a little of that tonight I guess it's OK for me to comer back here even if I'm late to say thank you to you for your comment ... all the best , Kenny

HI Wookiee , silly me ...I had commented on your song on SC when you first posted it and I forgot to post here ... I'm listening to the tune right now ..I'm digging your sounds ...Yes this song has a lot of nice musical complexity and sonic texture s that are very pleasing to my ears .. I like how you arranged this song where its taking on a story telling role as each musical motif and section has it's say towards telling the story as the song unfolds . This one is one of my faves when it comes to Wookiee music , all the best , Kenny

David , I see you are getting pretty complex with your instrumentation with more use of the orchestra in your song postings .. I enjoyed your version of the song ...yeah , you have been coming along much deeper in your music as time progresses ( or so it seems to me ) all the best....keep it up , Kenny

Guitar sounds very good and true to the musical Genre of your song version ...Yeah I can go for more music like this . It reminds me of all the good old times and sounds of the era of Roy Clark , Chet A... , Jerry Reed , and others ... Grinning & Picking , Picking & Grinning all the best, Kenny

I'll say one thing Jesse you are definitely a one of your own kind around here & you do have an interesting Unique Orbit Musically ... That song was pretty Freaky in a good way ...lots of cool sounds crossing paths .. Keep doing what your doing Kenny

Hi Allan , This song sounds professional in all the areas where it counts. Well written , nice mix, good playing I liked your vocals and vocal delivery a lot ...Good sound , phrasing and dynamics .. all the best , Kenny

Yes , that was a pretty fun listen .. I notice you are using an Iconic Boomer song from my day to get the message across ? There is room for improvement but either way I happen to like music with humor so I was glad I listened to this .. Clever stuff .....Good job Kenny

Hi Bjorn , I started playing the guitar when I was 6 ...by age 9 I was serious ...back then in truth the guitar was my lifeline to having something in my life that made sense... I'm glad you are getting some mileage out of the song ...what I do for myself is to play over different sections of a song and practice my ideas over it ..it is rare that I will play over a tune from beginning to end until I have done my little practice sessions over the various song sections. I hope you come up with a good melody . Yeah me too ...lol I have to laugh ...you have no idea how bad i can sound when I'm off ....I'm not Superman ...lol I think the whole key for me is to enjoy the gift of having music in my life ... Maybe you know someone in your area that plays guitar at around or a little bit better than you do now ...some of the best times I've ever had were in low key situations where myself and another guitarist or two would hang out . We would just swap guitars for a song or two and show each other some of what we are working on ...low pressure fellowship type of vibe ... it has been an interesting ride would be an understatement ....there's a few musical Artists I have auditioned for that were name people ( where I didn't get the gig ) Then there were a few notable gigs and situations I did get ( my lips are sealed for now ) it was all nice at the time ...the fact is I have not achieved any of my career goals on the level I could have ....(at least according to my abilities and potential ) I'm actually somewhat sad about the fact that my music will probably not be heard or valued in today's market. Unless i can get help doing the things I am clueless about that may be the sad truth for me ...as I said before music was and is my life line so at least I have had a constructive relationship with music ...it has kept me out of trouble and gave me something to strive for ... I hope I didn't eat up too much of your thread ....and the offer stands ..someday on a nicer day ...lets meet up away from the studios are hangout and chat music .. all the best, Kenny

Hi Old Joad , After listening to music all my life then out of the blue, all the music I wanted to play when I was younger sneaks up me and influences the music I'm playing today . cool beans huh ? thanks for the listen . Hello congalocke , While I'm playing I'm basically just winging it , whatever I end up playing turns out to be a process of discovery even for me . I'm glad you enjoyed the song and my guitar playing . all the best, Kenny
