Mark, thanks for listening to this and your wise words, I understand what you mean by being careful with the use of this software. I consider it another "spice" in my spice rack. I do, however, like spicy food Ever since hearing Imogen Heep's "Hide And Seek", I've been a sucker for f/x like this, and I finally got to have my turn. Thanks so much, Bjorn. Congrats on the songs you've been putting out, lately! It always pleases me when you give me a good review. I know you have some of the best monitors and ears around, and I've learned much from you. Thanks a million! Thank you for your kind words and time. PG may have been in the back of my mind when arranging this song, as he's been very influential to me.

David, thank you for your constructive words! This was one of the questions I had when I posted this. What I think you're hearing is this: I used preset beats from Superior Drummer 3's percussion program. I started with the cajon, and then, layered congas and bongos over it. I experimented a bit with polyrhythm by combining straight and swing beats in the same measure (something I picked up from listening to King Crimson and Bill Bruford). I recorded everything else to these beats. Whether this works or not depends on the listener, ultimately. It takes good ears to catch nuances like this, so, well done. John, it's good to be back. Thanks for your ears! As for Harmony, I found a minor chord preset that seemed to fit and recorded it live rather than adding it afterwards. I felt that hearing the effect while recording made me use my voice more as an instrument to find those sweet spots. It's interesting that you heard the different percussion loops, too, as it was a question mark. To you and David, so noted. Thanks guys!

Thank you for your kind words! I must have sung "Fly Like An Eagle" countless times in my bar-band days

4 stars! I'll bet you could write for Broadway because your chord progressions and melodies are beautifully unpredictable. Your mix sounds very professional and polished. Good lyrics. Your track record proves that you're a powerful songwriter.

Mark, thanks for your time and ears! That low drum is a cajon from SD3's percussion kit; I like it, too, and have never used it before. I used a similar technique on the vocal that you describe, using a clean vocal track and combining with the processed sound. In Harmony, setting up is as easy as pie. Most of the presets need only a little tweaking to get a cool sound. But, MUST NOT OVERUSE IT! Nigel, thank you for your kind words! I took a look at the Zplanes and noticed that Waves is about$100 cheaper. Otherwise, I don't know unless I get it in my hands. I may demo this.k Good luck with your new album! Thank you so much, Eric. Your time and words mean a lot!

Thank you, Steve, it's good to be back! Thank you very much! Tom, you hit the nail on the head. Some family members and friends finally got caught up in the covid web, and I made an offer to help out, where and if I could. As they say, no good deed goes unpunished I did drop a few "likes", but not nearly enough.

Hello to all my CW friends! It's been a long 6 months since I've had much spare time, but here I am with a new song. I recently purchased Waves Harmony and used it on this song to experiment a bit. It's fresh off the press and can be found here: https://soundclick.com/r/s8mawa I managed to listen to some of the new songs here from time to time, and I've been very impressed. I would like to have commented many times, but time has been precious this year. Thanks in advance for your time and good ears! Lynn 9/28/22 Thanks to my co-producers here, I remixed the percussion, smoothed a few rough edges, and slightly rearranged the beats. I also lessened the f/x on my vocals a bit and raised the bass gtr a tad. I think this helped to get me closer to the end.

Make sure your smart tool is selected in the control panel.

Finishes recording a track, but on playback it cuts off early?
Lynn Wilson replied to Hannah Belarmino's question in Q&A
Is auto-punch on? -
John, I just started getting this problem, too. I can't save a project file as a bundle file until I open up every track to check for empty take lanes and delete them. This never seemed to happen until recently. I, too, over wright and have CW set up to use only one lane.

Click Track goes silent after count in when recording...
Lynn Wilson replied to Rok TheKasbah's topic in Cakewalk by BandLab
The click track can be turned on and off in the control panel. If turn off for recording, the click track only makes sound during the count-off and then goes silent during the recording. If turned on for recording, the click track plays all the way through the song. -
All vocal recording has automatic reverb
Lynn Wilson replied to Tiffany Passarella's question in Q&A
It sounds like your echo input button is on. Turn it off before recording. -
Rex, I've been uploading and downloading 24/48k wave files to Drop Box and OneDrive for years to share with other musicians. Is that not available to you?
-
Or, hit the letter H and open up the track manager to see hidden and displayed tracks.

Me, Myself, and It. Now with Gene Krupa Ending!
Lynn Wilson replied to David Sprouse's topic in Songs
David, this is pleasantly subversive I only say that because I used to live in Portland, too. -
Fred, this is so timely, regardless of what era you're in, and fun to listen to, in spite of its dire message. I've been kicking around some kind of "anthem" for Ukraine, but haven't been able to nail it. You hit the nail on the head! Thank you for the valuable PSA! Talk to you later.

I'm sure this has been suggested before, but I may have missed it. Why not put a solo button on ProChannel modules, especially the QuadCurve flyout? A third party CW user once did this (Panup), and it was incredibly useful.

Your music is always challenging in a very good way. This is what I call 21st century music. Keep up the good work!
-
Nice one, John! Sounds very good on my KRK's.

Can I make the words any clearer in Tal Vocoder?
Lynn Wilson replied to DallasSteve's topic in Instruments & Effects
Try sending your vocal to two different busses; one with the vocorder and one without. Blend the two together, adding just enough vocorder to get the effect, but not so much as to muddy the sound to achieve clarity. -
I have the latest version (2022.02), but it didn't pick up MCP until I deleted entries of it in the registry first, per the instructions sent by Vladimir. I never thought to try a re-scan. Good to know!
-
I'm sharing this with the CW community, as I recently had a problem with an update for MCP. An update notice came up while inserting MCP into my master buss. I followed the link and updated MCP to the latest version 1.2.0. I installed in the recommended locations, and when finished, I inserted it into CW. Unfortunately, I got a message that it failed to load, so I redownloaded and reinstalled, and still the same problem. I then filed a ticket with Audified, and got this response the next day, which solved the problem. Here is their reply: I hope this might help anyone with the same problem.

Thanks a million, Paul! Best wishes to you, as well.

Thank you, Bjorn! I had to work fast, as the curare does, too! I had over 40 years to make the guitar and organ play well together~~~
