Mark, your comments give me great comfort! I'm happy you like the bass/drums groove because this song started on the bass. I used AD2 at the time but was unhappy with their 5/4 beats, so I programmed the drums to lock into the groove. As for the video f/x, I have astigmatism, too, which explains why they turned out that way

Thank you, Jack! That's very comforting coming from one as prolific as you! I'm a big fan of yours, so your comments are very welcome! This was a fun song to perform, and I'm glad it's reflected in the mix. Thanks, Daryl, this is good news! Congrats on your latest round of songs! Hi Bjorn! I'm doing OK, though very busy these days acting as a caregiver which takes away from my internet time. I'm happy to hear your view of the f/x because that is a major concern of mine. It turned out to be creepier than I expected, so it might be a good Halloween song. Don't be too fooled by the looks of my studio; if you saw the raw footage, you'd realize what a mess it is

Wow, I have to give your review a 10! This video resulted from an upgrade to Vegas Pro 20, and I'm using the f/x that comes with it. All in all, it came out a little spookier than I expected. Mark, your words are greatly appreciated! I wish you had a whammy bar, too, though I don't miss it in your music. Great technique goes a long way. KS, I appreciate your kind words! Some songs mix themselves better than others; this is one of them.

You have the track selected (piano) but not the MIDI clips. Your now marker is in the right place if that's where you want the copied clips to start; just lasso select those clips and the copy and paste functions will work either in the edit menu or by ctrl-c and ctrl-v. It's critically important that the Now marker is in the correct track and location of where you want to paste the clips.

You only have the timeline selected but no clips. Lasso the clips to be copied or hit the track header to select all the clips. That's all you're missing.

Hello to all my CW friends! It has been a hectic summer for me, but I managed to get one project finished. This is a song that I wrote and posted on the old song forum in 2014. Since then, I remixed it with fresh, new tools and filmed this video just a few weeks ago. I admit that it's rough, in fact, the raw footage is SO rough that I had to dress it up with various f/x to hide the poor lighting and staging. This should probably be seen as a first cut, no more. However, it's gritty enough to convey a sense of urgency which is what I was looking for, more or less. It is a wide-open book, just waiting for your input. As always, much gratitude for your time and patience. This song was inspired by the old saying "the devil made me do it", nothing else.

Then bounce to clip. The point is, once you create an audio track from the frozen track, you have all your f/x, and you can then eliminate the MIDI track or synth.

Select your track (highlight it), go to the track tab, select "bounce to track", and hit enter. This will render the track with all the f/x and automation, creating an audio track; you can then delete the synth.

Fabulous!

Another excellent song, Keith! This sounds very nostalgic and personal; thanks for letting us have a glimpse into your life!

This sounds like a polished mix to my ears! I love the song, the arrangement, and the vocals, I've heard thousands of songs in my life that don't hold a candle to this. Well done!

What an interesting project. I would never have guessed that the vocals were AI; that's something I may look into. The sax is interesting and unexpected for me, which grabs my interest. The only thing that stood out to me is the drum track. It's very forward in the mix, and it sounds a bit mechanical. Otherwise, you're on to something, and I believe this could turn into something quite cool with a tweak or two.

Terrific song, Paul, you nailed this! I love your voice in this, which carries the message very well. I always feel right at home when listening to your songs - like comfort food. Keep it up!

Very touching and professional, as I would expect from you. I hope your friend appreciates it as much as we do here!

The only thing this song needs is...a huge audience! Kudos, Nigel.

Nice one, Daryl! It has all the elements of a classic pop/love song, and is so expertly mixed. It sounds like you had a lot of fun with this. Keep 'em coming!

Outstanding! An upbeat song with a twist. I like the jazzy trumpet and arrangement. All in all, a very clever and toe-tapping song that brings a smile to my face.

Kevin, this is fabulous! Count me as one of your biggest fans!

Yowza! Loosey-goosey, dirty, blues from the master! It riles me up!

Fabulous! This makes my feet move and my head happy. You really have a way with words! Keep up the good work.

This is up to your usual, impeccable standards. I like everything about this song, as I'm sentimental about my mother... and you seem to know so much about her! Songs like this haunt me

Now here's a voice with hair! I love this, Jesse! The way you panned this fills my monitors with a hypnotic groove that holds my attention from beginning to end. Your lyrics are right on. Next!

I'm so glad that I caught up with this song! It's awesome from beginning to end. This is a style of music that I would like to explore, but after this song, I'd be smart to leave it to the experts

Your production skills have grown immensely since I've been listening to you! This sounds huge on my speakers. You're off to a good start.

Wow! This is the song that I've been waiting for, Barry. I can hear every road trip in your voice. The mix is great! Your voice sounds fabulous in this song, and it conveys the lyrics perfectly. Major league!
