Thanks for listening Mark,  I'll check out that ending. 

Thanks Paul!  I have a hard time too. I can't tell you how many times I rerecorded this trying to get a good clean track. 

I just solo'ed the bass and rhythm tracks and I can't hear it. There is a slight hum on the bass but it's subtle. I think your system must emphasize the frequency more than mine.

I had not noticed that, thanks for checking it out.

My latest original composition, using Yamaha classical and Glarry fretless jazz bass, SI strings. 

The Threshold, that's what I needed!  Very cool, thanks so much for the help.

Are you saying set it to "measure" ?  I tried that and it has the same amount of markers.

On a sustained bass note I'm getting like 20 transient spikes and I only need like 2. Is there a way to get less transients generated?

You would think it would benefit the computer industry to make moving to a new PC seamless. I changed out my old PC lately and it was the usual computer hell for a number of days to get everything running.  I think I would ( I'm sure others too) would be more likely to upgrade if it were just a matter of plugging in a new machine.

I want to upgrade to windows 11 but the fear of messing up all my cakewalk stuff is stopping me.

Thank you all for the help!

Ok, I guess I just did it. It's not real clear how it works. It has 1st measure as 3/4 but it appears to have made it all 3/4

Still not sure how to set the whole song to 3/4

I'm trying to record a song that is in 3/4 but it seems like you can only change a measure at a time and I want to change the entire song metronome

Nice song. I do think the recording sounds a little flat. Maybe the guitars need some sparkle, top end.  Really there's nothing wrong with it the way it is too.

Another cool tune! Love your stuff. That kick is so fat and good sounding.  Very good job on the bass too, the playing and the recording. What did you run the bass through?

Really cool layering of synths! Catchy pop song, good work.

Enjoyed that, very moody groove.  Reminds me of Peter Gabriel stuff.

Thanks for the comments noynekker!  I used a guitar pick on the bass for that sound, never used one before, it totally changes the tone.  I'm using Ezdrummer for the first time on this project  and I agree the kick isn't my favorite. I sampled the available kicks and wasn't in love with any of them.  I can't say I love their symbol sounds either. The ride has a weird quality in a mix. I have been using Jamstix and I like it's kick and symbol sounds better but Ezdrummer is so much easier to work with. 

Ok, thanks for checking it out. I think my monitors and headphones sound very different,  makes it hard to decide. 

Thanks David!

Thanks for listening guys! Good ear, it was panned slightly,  trying to separate the sounds.  I do have some compression on the master too.

This is a track I've been working on, I could use some opinions on the mix of the various instruments. I feel like I've been having a hard time getting the levels right. On my phones it sounds perfect and then on the monitors it sounds like the guitar is way to loud and bright.  Maybe the monitors are too harsh, they are Event 20/20's.  Been using an old Harman Kardon receiver in the standard stereo setting.

Never been a problem using this and I really like the compressor but recently it freezes Cakewalk every time I open it. It does open, it just takes a minute and the works fine. 

Good job, another catchy song, I like it.

Thanks so much guys, that did it. Times like this I realize how little I know about this program.  Started using a DAW just last summer so still much to learn (and probably forget).
