I was finally able to get into BandLab after morning glitches and renew my subscription. I never had this much hassle with BandLab before, and received no notification that my subscription had expired. A renewal notice or page would have made this much easier. but I'm good to go for another year. Thanks to Noel for his replies!

I opened Sonar today, updated to the new version (2024.11-MEM (build 97, 64bit)) and was unable to activate it though I was signed into BandLab. Signing out and signing back in didn't do the job, as I'm still getting a window that tells me that saving is disabled until I reactivate Sonar. I am a paid member and up to date on dues. Attached is the screenshot that shows I'm signed into BandLab. What to do?

I got the same message while trying to export files to open in Sonar. After reading the manual, I found that CW has its own export option. Once I used it, it worked like a charm. If you're trying to export to Sonar or Cakewalk, try "Export Cakewalk Interchange".

I discovered that I had two BL accounts and was logging into the wrong one. I must have created the 2nd account by accident when I tried to change my email. Now I have to figure out how to delete the wrong account without deleting both.

Problem solved! Sorry for the inconvenience.

When I open Next it tells me that I can't save a project until I acquire an active membership. I do have an annual membership in Next and Sonar, and when I go the the Bandlab site, it confirms that I'm good to go. Yet, although Next is up-to-date, I'm not able to save a new project nor use the stem separation process. Screenshots provided. What to do?

This happens to me if I don't render the clips after aligning them.

This may usually be the case, but not always. This happens to me when saving, and I turn off the audio engine and then turn it back on and the problem goes away. My disk is OK, so it must have another reason for doing this.

Can't the key be changed under views>meter/key?

l love it when we try to do something different, especially when it works! Nice concept and video to go with a dreamy soundscape. I might experiment with other synth parts to see if there might be some textures that might work as well, but you are on the right track. This, most importantly, is fun to listen to multiple times!

Quirky and cool! More

Fabulous, Steve! Those were the days, weren't they? You keep surprising me time and again. Your creativity is a deep well.

This is wonderful! I wouldn't change a thing, but I don't have your chops. I particularly like that ending.

I love it when a classic song gets reinvented like this. Good idea to make this your own arrangement! You're on a roll!!

This is one of my favorite Beatles song, and your cover of it is remarkable! Congrats!!

Patrick, this is a good song with good performances! However, to my ears, the mix is close, but it's lacking in clarity because it is so ambient. Perhaps a shorter reverb for the vocal could help, and/or a little more volume, too. This is just waiting for the right tweaks to be stellar. Kudos

It's intoxicating! Well done!!

Not to worry! I've been fatigued all week myself and haven't done squat. Take care, mate!

I totally agree! One of your best!!

Peter, I like your taste in music. The Finn Bros. have long been a favorite of mine, and you did a fine job with this cover. I might have added a little bit of 3k on your lead vocal, but that's all I heard as far as the mix goes. Love your site!

Listening to this song changed my mood for the better! I love the haunting chords and scales that you use very much. I got a little bit of a Bruce Hornsby vibe with the tone of your piano, that is, clean and crisp. I look forward to your next song.

Jack, you repeatedly come up with some of the most creative work on this or any song forum. You tackle subjects that many people wouldn't touch, and in so doing, you're doing the public a service. I find that I have to listen to your work several times in order to fully "grok" what you are doing, but I enjoy each trip with you. Keep up the good work!

Punk rock is back! I love the rawness of this recording which gives your voice and guitar playing extra urgency. Send your friends over here Encore!!

I'm with Steve on this; you're off to a great start and just need to clean up a few things. The topic is terrific, and I love your use of the horns! (I used to play trumpet in a horn band in high school) Overall, very creative.

Wow, this is radio-friendly. This has all the elements of a hit song, and it raises the bar around here. More, please!
