Wow, great rocker! Kept me interested all the way through with the dynamics. Vocals are a standout (that bridge!) as are the lyrics. Guitars sound great too, nice one!

What a beautiful, dreamy song! The vocals are mesmerizing and the guitar is lovely. I agree with others, remove a bit of mud, add some air and get some definition on the bass and this will be even more captivating.

Pretty amazing, Steve. This song brings back a lot of great memories and you absolutely nailed it.

Great one, loved the guitars! Had flies I'm my teeth after listening!

This is clearly a labor of love and you've done it proud, I'm a fan! The mix is lucious. Your vocals are great!

One of my favorite bands of the 80's, great cover. I love the chewy bass/rhythm guitar sounds, they really nail down the sound. A pristine mix, as always. You have far more patience than I do! Well done!

Great mix, playing and lyrics,. I love the dynamics of this song. And man, that vocalist can belt out a tune!

Enjoyed it, vocals sound nice and warm!

I love everything you've ever posted. This is no exception. Wonderful mix and just great playing.

Great piece! It sounds pretty well balanced on my ancient Rokit 5's. Just for fun I checked it with my Slate VSX system phones on Mike Dean's Car, Electric Car and SUV sims as well as several studio sims. My preferences tend toward a somewhat warmer, vintage-ish mix, but my poor, abused hears like this one just fine.

Sounds pretty good to me! Maybe the guitar is a little far back in the mix, but nice playing and cool break in there!

Nigel, another really fine song, I loved the sound of the guitar in the solo. Hooks aplenty in this one, gonna be stuck in my head for a while.

Here's a new song I've finally gotten close to wrapping up. We've all had songs that just fall together in a just a few days from conception to finish. Well, this ain't one of those. I know there are a few rough edges in there but this song kind of lends itself to having a few. Let me know what you think. Lyrics: stressful situation kwalsh - 4/25/2025 verse 1 you hear the echo of an empty room you feel the car as it bounces over your tomb gonna party like i'll never grow old spend the night in jail you never know I wanna be like those guys on tv dark black holes where my crying eyes should be chorus i guess im in a stressful situation i guess ill find out what im made of whats inside of me circumstances ran me down today gotta get my ***** away oh yeah its too much this stressful situation its all ive ever known verse 2 you think its okay but you know its a crutch you find the static of the world is just too much like a wire sparkin over your skin you think its stopped but it starts all over again i guess im in a stressful situation i guess ill find out what im made of whats inside of me circumstances ran me down today gotta get my ***** away oh yeah its too much this stressful situation its all ive ever known

Come on, friend, don't be shy. I know there's something on your mind so just spit it out. Seriously, though, my system is always connected to the internet, is used for software development, and is always having products installed and removed from it. I also have my machine setup to receive preview releases of Windows 11 updates and features so I'm a pretty good candidate for instability. In spite of all that, sonar runs well on my machine. It does crash from time to time if I've installed a product that delivers an out-of-date MSVCRT library, in which case a simple reinstall of sonar will fix you up. If that won't fix your install, you could try reinstalling your ASIO drivers for your audio interface, and then if that doesn't help, check your machine for malware. Failing those things, you might consider trying to narrow down the problem areas you are experiencing and posting them here. In a lot of cases, many crashes are caused by ill behaved plugins, so if you have a list of the ones that you use, that may help. There's a great many people who participate in this forum who are happy to help you. If all you want to do is rant and swear at people, you probably won't get anywhere and you may as well just go buy another product. Best of luck!

It's great to see that you guys are embracing ARM platforms! I was going to pick up a Surface laptop but had to buy a Mac Book Pro M4 for work, which I loathe. I'll pick one up when Snapdragon shows up in desktops.

I'm happy with this release, really like the look of the theme, but you know, it may not have changed all that much because I liked it before too. Sonar is certainly the best-looking DAW on the market imho. I needed to reinstall anyway because I think my C runtime dll's got overwritten by another install and I was having a lot of crashes.

It's a pretty great song! I haven't had a chance to watch the video yet, but I really enjoyed the music. Very creative work, I especially enjoyed the choices you made with the drums, using what was essentially a repetitive pattern that seemed to somehow change as the melody evolved. I enjoyed it!

Hey, Bjorn, that was really excellent. The dissonance of the melody with the shifting around of the key was very cool, and the voices added a wonderfully creepy vibe. Enjoyed it!

What a great song! Loved everything about it, it's absolutely perfect. Awesome video too, but the song outshines it.

Yes, after a fashion.

I replied to this yesterday but I guess I forgot to hit save. Doh! Just wanted to chime in to say how much I enjoyed this track, great work!

Really nice, love the chord progression. Drums are great. The atmospheric guitars are very nicely done. I use modo bass a lot while I'm writing a song, I just hate having to re-record bass lines when I get an idea when I can just scooch some midi notes around a grid and modo is great for that. Good work!

I have to say, that new mix sounds much more polished and spacious to my ear. The strings in particular are really sweet. It's a lovely composition, very nice work!

There's a whole lot of stuff going on in this guy, iI found it hard to keep track of. It took a few listens to get my arms around it. I love the vocal bit, is that from a synth library? The sounds are great, and I really enjoy the little Abbey Road easter egg reference in there! This is a pretty entertaining piece, and it sounds like it was one heck of a lot of work. Well done!

You're so awesome to have around Steve thanks lol. It makes something that I would do no matter what a lot more fun. I didn't start playing guitar or song writing or until I was over 50 years old, now I'm almost 70. I didn't even know if I could sing until my voice actually started getting too old to do it, so it's great to hear that I'm making progress. 😊 Anyway, thanks again and keep rocking till you drop!
