None, whatsoever. However, my ears are not as finely tuned as yours or others. I mainly hear good taste!

Another outstanding instrumental, Bjorn! Boy, you have quite an arsenal of synths, but, they don't play themselves.

It sounds good on my speakers and headphones, Rob. Keep up the good work.

What's new is now available in the "product release" section. Finally, a ripple edit indicator in track view!! They listen.

Wow, that's a lot of sound, yet it all mixes together quite well. The performances are terrific, as is the arrangement. I've noticed that the quality of songs keep improving on this forum, and this is one of the best.

Great collaboration, guys! It has everything I like to hear in a song and mix. I'll be replaying this from time to time, so keep the songs coming.

I really enjoyed listening to this song, and you've received good suggestions for the mix. Once you get it right, this will be a gem!

I've learned that if the bass gtr is competing with the kick drum, it's sometimes easier to treat the drum rather than the bass gtr. The thing is, there's no hard and fast rule except trust your ears. I've found that checking my mixes through speaker emulation software like Mixchecker Pro can help a great deal to overcome deficiencies in the mix room.

I suddenly lost my stand alone version of Codex, couldn't find it anywhere and finally got in touch with Waves. They promptly sent me an email telling me to look for it under program files (x86)>Waves where it was under the Plug-ins V9 file. I never thought to look there because it is a 64 bit VST3 file, therefor, I thought it would be under the program files of my C drive. I was wrong, but was able to get the stand alone version from there. Make sure you scan your (x86) files.

I just installed the update a short while ago and gave it a spin. Unfortunately, it still doesn't remember the default for the algorithm that I want (melody). The blobs are still in a straight line until I click on melody in the algorithm setting. Is anyone else getting this, too?

l like your version of this song better than the original. You apply that secret sauce of yours to anything you do. Two thumbs up!

I know of someone with thousands of post on the other forum, but 99% of those post were one word replies to someone else's posts. Big deal! Very little edification.

Your mother would be proud of this. You have a way with melodies that stay with you for awhile. Keep up the good work, John!

I love this recording because it makes me feel like I'm in the room with you. I feel this in my chest as well as my head. Very well done!

This is a terrific song - the kind that I like to listen to. The main thing that stood out to me was the brightness of the acoustic and electric guitars. Perhaps a db or two of 200-350hz would warm up the acoustic. I agree with Will about changing mics, but other than that, this song is a gem.

"Thanks and you too Lynn - don't forget you owe me a colab!" Yes, indeed! I just updated my thesaurus!?

David, I've always been impressed by your chord progressions and melodies. This song is brilliant, from its sparse arrangement to its terrific performances. Jen's vocal is truly rich and amazing. This is the first thing I've heard all day, so I'm looking forward to a good day.

Happy New Year to all. May we all be prosperous and creative this year!

James, it's good to hear from you. I took your suggestion and remixed this just minutes ago with the piano down and slide up. I hope this helps. Thanks for your ears! The Downstream, I agree with you and took your advise. Much appreciated. ZincT, thanks so much for your kind words. I hope you like the remix, too. Today's mix (1/1/19) is here: https://www.bandlab.com/lynn_wilson/build-a-wall-80486

Tim, whether or not you think this is finished, it's vastly different from what I've heard from you. Don't give up on this because the lyrics are quite good. I've had songs that just didn't make sense until one day when I had that epiphany that changed everything. If it doesn't come right away, move on to the next song. Have a prosperous and creative new year!

Very retro and very cool to listen to. It's time to welcome reverb back to the modern mix. Few people here can master as many styles as you do, but you make it seem easy. I'd love to see your record collection. Happy new year, James!

Skald, if you sing harmonies to a lead vocal, you can use Melodyne Studio to show all vocals at once, then you can pitch correct, and phrase correct very easily. If your backup vocals are not phrased correctly, you can use the lead vocal to realign the start and end points of your backup vox. You can even stretch or shrink a phrase to match the lead vocal. The same is true if your aligning any other instrument like doubled lead guitar lines. Very handy if you work with more than one part at a time.

Melodyne Studio and Midi Guitar 2 are the big ones for me. Being able to trigger samples from my guitar without modifying the guitar is invaluable. I'm just now starting to learn and use Superior Drummer 3, which seems to be a big advancement for non-drummers like me.

Today (12/29) I remixed yet again because I felt that I hadn't got quite enough drums or vocal in the mix. Also, I changed amp models for the slide gtr. Here is today's version: https://www.bandlab.com/lynn_wilson/build-a-wall-80486

I can only add to the praise for this song. I like the way you keep your mixes clean by not cluttering them up. It really makes mixing so much easier. Your works never fail to bring a smile to me, as well as your impeccable delivery. Have a prosperous new year, my friend!
