Lynn Wilson

Douglas, this is an infectious track that makes my feet tap to the music. This is obviously a crowd pleaser, and a song that would be fun to sing along with. Good post!

This is the best song I've heard from this group, yet! I love the video and animation with this, and it fits the music perfectly. The vocal has the growl and texture that makes it stand out among the terrific playing from everybody. As I would expect from you guys, the mix is pristine - everything is balanced and in its place. However, maybe it's just me, but I'm missing a little tube warmth overall. Music like this can stand a light touch of smearing, if you know what I mean. Nevertheless, this is brilliant and creative. Keep up the good work.

Wow, this downloaded and installed in less than 2 minutes, and the Melodyne improvements are just what I was looking for. Way to go Bandlab!

Your introduction didn't scare me off I like this song very much because it's subtle and calming on different levels. The choices you made in synths are spot on, and remind me of what I love about analog synths with their space age sounds. This reminds me of time lapsed photography which might make a good backdrop for this tune. Stay experimental to the end!

John, it's good to hear from you. These are 3 tasty tunes that scream for a vocal to complete their stories. As always, your guitar playing is excellent and your mixing is smooth. I like the trilogy idea, and if you have to go back to sleep to expand on it, go for it!

This is a good power ballad waiting to happen. As you noted, the vocal needs to come up, and there's no reason to be shy about your vocal because you have a fine voice for this song. Actually, the only thing that stood out was the piano; it sounds a little synthetic to my ears. I see you have NI Komplete, so I assume you have a variety of pianos to choose from. Small nit. I look forward to hearing this down the line.

Jesse, this is one of the hippest songs I’ve heard in ages. It’s either perfect, or the slide could stand to come down just a little, but a masterpiece, nonetheless. Well done!

Sweet! This is very well produced and played. I like TE, too. Thanks for putting this up.

Thank you, Bob, it's good to hear from you. I appreciate you noticing the phrasing on the vocal as I had to play with it a bit before settling on this one. I love your new song! Keep em coming, and I will, too.

Absolutely brilliant! It takes me back to the days when Bill and Ted were having an excellent adventure...

Wow, I never knew this but could have used it many times!

Outstanding! Very tasty mix that's like comfort food for the ears.

Russ, I just listened to this twice because it really sparked my imagination. I love this track and think it could be stellar with just a tweak or two. I'm missing some lo/mid punch when the drums kick in, and overall in general. Just a bit more warmth and this is as good as gold. Your use of textures and layers is terrific. Good luck in the contest.

Terrific song and performances. I like her voice as is; I don't think it's necessary to dirty it up. However, overall, the mix sounds bright to me, as if, a high pass filter got used very liberally. Perhaps by letting some low mids back into the mix would satisfy people's perception of the vocal being too clean. Otherwise, this song is a gem!

I missed this one, but I finally caught up. This is very bright, poppy, and happy sounding as dance songs go. I'd like to hear this played over some large speakers and subs, like in a club. I'll bet people wouldn't be able to stay off the dance floor.

Kenny, I'm blown away by your words. I've always looked to you as one of the true masters on this site, so it means a lot. Thank you!

Bjorn, I can't tell you how reassuring this is: knowing that somebody else hears the voices, too... (don't wear the sunglasses)

Hey Bob, your words mean a lot, and I really appreciate them. Thanks to you and so many others it's easy to get steered in the right direction. Keep on rockin'

kakku, this is a pleasant surprise. It has a nice blend of upbeat pop with shred guitar, and the arrangement has a few unexpected turns that held my interest. IMO, arranging is one of the hardest things to master even if one can make a good mix. It can be learned, up to a point, but is mostly in-born. You seem to have the touch because I never know what to expect from you. Keep it up!

Leizer, thanks for your comments and time. I agree with you about the bass; I just bought 2 new headphones - a Sennheiser HD 300 PRO and an Audio Technica - ATH M50x - and both tell me that the bass is a little hot so I cranked it down in the mix I'm working on now. Good ears!

kakku, you made my day! I did take the time to check the mix on my cellphone and with Mixchecker Pro just in case somebody like you came along

John, this is one of your best songs, yet. It has a nice Steely Dan feel, and these lyrics are bluesy. Stay true to yourself.

Lately, I've noticed CW losing focus after sitting idle for 2-3 minutes. Once, it happened during the playback of a song when I let the song run past the ending (I didn't have it set to stop at the end). This didn't used to happen until the last month or so. I could leave CW on overnight and come back the next morning, hit the spacebar and go to work. Has anyone else seen this behavior? It's not a game stopper, but puzzling.

Yeah, my problem isn't the same and should be a separate topic. Sorry, move along, nothing to see here...

Lately, I've been having a similar problem; after sitting idle for a few minutes, CW suddenly loses focus, and I have to click on the program to get it back. This happened once while it was playing back a song after I'd let it run on for a few seconds past the end of the song. As I said, it's only been recently that this started happening.
