Yup, eight days a week I'm stuck in a Beatles loop. Thanks for your furry ears on the mix! Steve, I'm so happy to hear from you mate! Yeah, the song is the sunrise and sunset of a relationship. I've had a few, and I wanted to look back on them with joy. After28 years, I've switched to Reaper. I can no longer justify renting my recording software anymore, and the change was practically seamless. I have continued my musical endeavors all along, though I've cut down on my internet time. However, I plan to continue posting songs and critiques when I can. I let my subscription to Sonar expire, but I was able to work with the free tier easily enough, so the dozens of CW song projects are still available to me. We have a lot in common - I've enjoyed your songs for as long and I still listen to them. More to come!

Thank you very much! It's good to hear from you, as well. I find that music is not only cathartic for me, but also the person I care for. If I wasn't so damn slow I would have a lot more time. lol

Thank you Bjorn. Happy holidays!

Thank you Nigel! It's nice to hear from you. Happy holidays!

Hello to all my Sonar/CW friends! Circumstances have taken most of my personal internet time this past year, but I had to give up something to keep my musical hobbies alive. Being a caregiver is a 24/7 job though I'm happy to have this opportunity to do so. I still have managed to create some music, and this production will be one of my last done in Sonar so I want to share this with all of you who have helped and taught me so much over the last 12 years or so. I wouldn't have gotten this far without you. This song is called "Créme de la Créme" and is about the sunrise and sunset of a relationship (I've had a few). It can be found here: I look forward to hearing from you, and all comments and critiques are welcome, as nothing is set in stone. Lynn

From embryo to maturity, this song has gone through quite an evolution. The fact that it got finished at all is due to Ed's patience and persistence. I'm happy to have been a part of this project! Congratulation, Ed!

If I was in that family, I would be their brother. lol

Melda Productions has a nice convolution reverb in its free bundle. https://www.meldaproduction.com/MFreeFXBundle

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!!
